Macarthur today returned in
triumph to Bataan, the scene
of the gallant but hopeless
stand of American forces in the
Philippines in 1912.
Disregarding his personal
danger. the general rode in a
jeep, then walked to forward
positions on the east coast of
the peninsula where he could
watch his troops swarming
ashore on Corregidor.
He was disappointed when
a blasted bridge forced him to
turn back before reaching Mar

already had gone beyond the
most forward road blocks and
was in Jap-infested territory
through which only first patrols
had passed.

Faced with signs that the ia

fight for adequate legislation

The new demand came through

I'VE must have adequate legisla-

he declared.
Strategy At Stake.
The WPB chief said the Army and
Navy need greater production for
immediate campaigns and if it is
not provided, they will be forced to
modify their strategy. That, he
added, means putting off the end
of the war"
To meet new production goals in
the first half of 1945, Mr.. Krug
said, 100000 more workers must be
added to war and war-supporting
industries.
The WPB chief said production
of many basic war materials has
been declining and others, while in
creasing, may not be available in
time to meet expanded production
goals. He added:
"We are at this moment short of
coal, steel, lead and other basic
materials The changing tides OF
battles are requiring more and more
of everything we make. In this
sense we are back in early 1912 when
all war production programs were

methods worked well in the past

Terror Bombing Gets
Allied Approval as

BY HOWARD COWAN,


PARIS. Feb. 1.-THE Allied
air commanders have made the
long-awaited decision to adopt
deliberate terror bombing of the
great German population centers
as a ruthless expedient to hasten
Hitler's doom.
More raids such as the British
and American heavy bombers car
ried out recently on the residential
sections Of Berlin, Dresden, Chem
nitz and Cottbus are in store for the
Reich, and their avowed purpose
will be creating more confusion In
the German traffic tangle and sap

The all-out air war in Germany

dented daylight assault on the ref

and subsequent attacks on other
cities jammed with civilians fleeing

has the same result.
Reconnaissance has shown that
the best way to create road bottle
necks through key cities is to topple
buildings into the streets. One spot
on the western front recently was
made impossible for nine days by
such tactics.
The effect on morale, both at
home and at the front, is quite OBJ

The decision may revive protests
from some Allied quarters against
"uncivilized warfare" but they are
likely to be balanced by satisfaction

Taft Will Spearhead
Final Senate Fight on

Ohioon PIons Attack
On Qualifications Of
Commerce Nominee
By GOULD LINCOLN.

The final fight in the Senate
to defeat the nomination of
former Vice President Henry A.
Wallace as Secretary of Com
merce will begin tomorrow, when
Senator Taft. Republican, of
Ohio will seek. in a Senate
speech, to show that Mr.. Wallace
is not qualified to head even a
bob-tai Commerce Depart
ment.
While admitting that it would be
difficult to defeat confirmation of
the Wallace nomination since both
houses have passed the George bill,
which strips Federal loan agencies
from the Commerce Department,
Senator Taft insisted yesterday that
the battle is still going on, with the
actual consideration of the nomina-
ton not to begin until March /.
There has been no debate in the
Senate so far on the question of
Mr.. Wallace's qualifications to be
Secretary of Commerce or on the
political and economic PHILOSOPHERS
which Mr.. Wallace revealed to the
Senate Commerce Committee dur
ing hearings on the George bill,"
Senator Taft said.
Administration Confident.
Senator McKellar, Democrat of
Tennessee, president protempore of
the Senate, said fatty he intended
to vote against the Wallace ap-
pointment. He said he did not
know how many Of the Is Demo-
cratic Senators who voted originally
to take up the Wallace nomination
in advance of the George bill in the
hope of killing the appointment
would vote against confirmation
now. If many of them should stick
to their opposition to confirmation,
the vote in the Senate would be
close or possibly, adverse.
Administration forces are conf
dent. however, that Mr.. Wallace will
be confirmed. Chairman Bailey of
the Commerce Committee Is said to
be inclined to urge his colleagues TO
