A trip over the line today is one of the

Perhaps the novelty of riding jeep that
is not leaping from crag to crag has some
thing to do with it. Then, as nobody has in
vented brake for the fanged wheels,
there is the suspensive question of where
and how soon you are going to stop, if
something gets on the track.
Smashed Jap guns, strewn along the right
of way, speak of time more tense. These
days, however, the water buffalo is the prob
lem. No alarm of shrieking whistles or fusil-

They operated 100 miles of the line running
southwest of Myitkyina. On the day in
August. 1914, that our Army chose to open

but the Japs infested the territory between

When in doubt, get jeep. The Army flew

Nevertheless, the jeep-drawn freight made

So the schedule has been maintained,

signal equipment, ammunition, trucks,
bulldozers, tractors, pipe and oil.
With dozen or so jeeps at work. the ma

Battle for Two lima
Believed All But Over

PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Guam, Mar. - (P).-The
battle for Two Jima appeared all
but over today as relentless Marines
drove the japanese to last-stand
positions.
Most of the remaining enemy were
squeezed into 1,000-yard tri-
angle on Kitano Point, northern tip
of the island.
Only one other pocket of resist
ance remained late yesterday. This
was a force cut off and bypassed
earlier yesterday by Marines of the
Sd and 4th Divisions as they cap
tured most of IWo's northeast coast.
Maj. Gen. Keller E. Rockey's 5th
Division, moving up the West Coast,
had sealed off the Kitano Point po-

A feet communique said these Ma
rines were gaining slowly against
heavy resistance"
| The Sd Division, under Mai. Gen.
Graves B. Erskine, expanded a pre-
vious wedge it had driven to the
northeast coast from the center of
the island to join with the 4th in
the cleanup push.

VETERANS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

it might be asked why don't they
 reduce soldiers pay the minute g
 mortar blows his leg to pieces?
 If a sailor, drawing $115.80 a
 month with rating, sea duty pay
 etc) is badly smashed up when a torpedo hits and explodes, he'll have
 to go to the hospital for maybe a long time. I doubt is anyone has ever thought seriously or reducing his pay, yet an existing law applies cut to that same sailor as soon as he gets out of uniform. He's en- titled to disability pay, but, if his disability grows bad enough to re- quire disqualification, his pay is re- duced, but his disability isn't.
 Where need for emergency hos pitalization of veteran occurs, it can be arranged by the ex-service man or someone acting for him. You have to get phone call put through to the nearest V. A. hospital. A wire will do. You do this to get for admission and for transportation also. Therefore, if you don't know the location of your nearest " A. hospital you'd be ex- hibiting a set of brains if you find out now and make record of it. Local Red Cross chapters are usually able and will want to help an ex- service man or his family to make these emergency arrangements to get him into a V. A. hospital
 Like hospital treatment for other than service-incurred disabilities or diseases, transportation to the hos pital is furnished only if veteran signs form P-10 and says he isn't able to pay for the ride.
 If a veteran has service-incurred which needs only occasion al medical, surgical or dental treat nent, it can be had through what is called out patient treatment. Make your request by using VA. form 2827 revised, and sending it to your V. A. Regional Office.
