"At the head of our mainmast. we

His temper obviously taut after
recent sharp exchanges with left
wing critics in Commons, the Prime
Minister struck out at "our Socialist
friends" and their program "for ma
tionalizing all the means OF pro-
duction, distribution and exchange. "
He asserted that would imply mot
only the destruction of the life of
the whole Of our existing system Of
society and life and labor, but the
creation and enforcement of an
other system or systems borrowed
from foreign lands and alien minds.
BY contrast, he declared that "at
the head Of our mainmast we fly
the flag Of free enterprise"
I'VE are determined" he said,
that the native genius and spirit
Of adventure, Of risk taking in peace
as in war shall bear our fortunes
forward in profitable work and trade
for our people, and that good and
thrifty housekeeping, both national
and private, shall sustain our econ
omy."
With more than 1000, 900 British
homes damaged or destroyed. Mr.
Churchill said:
Never was there a time when 60
much was planned and projected
and so much remained to be turned
from paper into action. Nothing Is
more clear than that when the war
is over the world will face an acute
shortage Of food for several years
1t would be madness indeed to cast
away the increased food production
which has been achieved in the war. "

Of the mist-filled night OF this ruined
city sounded the clear piano notes
Of the Moonlight Sonata"
It's effect was indescribably weird
amid the eerie silence and blackness
broken only by the feeble glimmer
|of an Army flashlight.
The music came from q tumble
down hovel near a house where an
American infantry company had set
up q command post. 1t could be
heard for many blocks.
With daylight the mystery was
solved. The house from which the
music came was the. birthplace and
shrine Of Ludwig Won Beethoven, the
composer.
Into the house where Beethoven
was born In an attic room. a soldier
who was s. pianist In civilian life
had wandered in the dark. Finding
q piano, he had started playing, not
knowing that 1t was Beethoven's

the dark, had challenged a life

threatened to shoot when it did not
answer.

RomuIo, Back in U. s,
Will Tell Congress
|0f Jap Atrocities

| By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. l5.-Bit-
terly describing "coldly premedi-
tated atrocities" in Manila, Brig.
Gen. Carlos p. Romulo was back in
the United States today with .
sheaf- of documents and Aims to
"indict the japanese people on the
floor of Congress.
The resident commissioner of the
Philippines, who arrived here from
Manila yesterday after a dramatic
reunion there with his wife and
their four sons, said the prime pur-
pose of his trip was to appear be-
fore Congress and describe in de-
tall, with sworn afldavits, the atro-
cities the Japanese committed on
helpless civilians"
He arranged to leave for Wash
ington this morning.
Gen. Romulo told newsmen that
"the rape Of Marking was = picnic
compared with what the Japs did to
Manila"
He said he carried documentary
evidence that the Japanese Imperial
Marines in Manila had direct orders
from Tokyo to kill as many Filipinos
as they could.
Mrs. Virginia Romulo, small and
quiet, nodded vigorously as the gen.
eral said the Filipino soldier must
be given the privilege of participat-
ing in the invasion Of Japan, "for I
think We have earned that right" :"
Nineteen-year-old Carlos Romulo,
jr., proud at having killed seven
Japanese during his years as q
guerrilla, spoke up:
"The ambition Of every guerrilla
is to be military policeman in
Japan so we can double and triple
what the Japs have done to us"
Mrs. Romulo and three of the
youngest boys were picked up one
at a time from a Central Luzon
province by American flyers in tiny
Cub planes. Carlos left his guer-
rila band to join the family.
Gen. Romulo said that inside
Manila's Intramuros (walled city,
the Japanese herded virtually all
the men into Fort Santiago, doused
the place with kerosene and set 1t
ablaze.
The stocky little general had nu-
merous souvenirs with him, includ-
ing two Japanese sabers he plans to
give to Speaker Rayburn and Secre-
tary of War Stimson.

testimony concerning the American
Democratic National Committee, Or
ganized to oppose a fourth term.
The committee said this group, OF
which former Secretary of War Har-
ry Woodring Of Kansas once served
as chairman, solicited funds with
the understanding that contribu-
tions would not be publicized. After
a hearing, 1t added, the ADNC
agreed to file complete report of
Its collections with the clerk Of the
House.
7. Said it found no violation OF
the law In its inquiry into the pub
lication by the Trade Union News

Clear Everything With Sidney"
8. Reported that If names OF dead
persons were used in voting in
Kanawha County, w. Va, as had
been claimed, 1t did not affect the
final selection OF delegates to the
two party conventions.
Affidavits Sought in Vain.
The report said Commentator
Lewis criticism of campaign solic-
itations appeared to refer to en-
ployes Of the Butler Shipbuilding
Co. OF st. Paul, headed by Robert
Butler, Minnesota Democratic f.
nance director, but that it tried In
vain to have Mr.. Lewis produce his
afndavits.
The committee said Mr.. Butler re-
lated that five former employees So
licited campaign funds after leaving
his company and that all made am
davits they used neither threats nor
coercion.
ANY evidence Mr.. Lewis may
have had" the committee Concluded,
should have been freely given to
this committee. The public has q
right to every mans evidence"
Curbs Called Ineffective.
After presentation of the report
Chairman Green told the Senate
that Federal prohibitions had been
ineffective in preventing large CAM
paign expen itures.
The basic theory underlying the
recommendations is founded on
the conviction that the amount OF
campaign contributions is not the
most important matter, but that the
sources OF these contributions and
the manner in which they are ex-
pended are more important" he
said.
Consequently, it is felt that
greater emphasis should be placed
on publicity-full and timely pub
llicity. When the public knows where
campaign funds are coming from
and for what purposes they are
spent, then the public is in . posi-
ton to resist effectively any attempt
to purchase q Federal ONCE"

The operation. under the COM
mand OF 1t. Col. Harvey Fraser Of
Elizabeth, ILL.,, became an amphib-
ious job. Two assault boats were
transported to the bridge site. The
current On the far side of the river
was much faster than expected. The
water was swirling by at 10 feet a
second. The anchors for holding
the pontoons in place against the
tide would not work. The assault
craft by pushing against the current
kept the pontoons from floating
down stream and held the bridge in
line until improvised methods of an
choring pontoons were completed.
Under Nazi Air Attack.
Throughout the bridge building
operation the Germans attacked
continuously by air. The pontoon
bridge was defended at first only
by smoke screens and a few ma
chine guns, but the whole area now
has become an inferno of all types
of American antiaircraft guns blaz-
ing away at every plane that comes
in sight.
Enemy aircraft venturing too near
the bridge were literally scorched
out like moths flying against a
flame. There actually have been
fewer Americans killed at the
bridges in the last few days than
American planes lost.
Among Washington officers with
this engineer group are Capt. John
Barnes, 42l8 Forty-seventh street

1858 Lawrence street NE.
Capt. oehmann Is a son Of Brig.
