Be Set By
City Tuesday
Assessment Rate Fixed
at Budget Session
Thursday

Tax rates on property will be an
nounced at the city council meet
ing Tuesday.
Following Thursdays special seS-
sion to approve the city budget for
the coming fiscal year, by city Off
Gals, the rate on assessment values
for the year was set.
Unofficial reports indicate that
the rate will not be far in excess Of
the present 1917 mills per thousand
dollar assessed valuation now
charged. Indications are that the
rate may be increased y mill to
provide for additional expenses pro-
vided for in the new budget.
The forthcoming tax rate was
the center of past election battles
when a charter amendment was
proposed for diversion Of city gen.
eral funds to municipal service
funds for street lighting and wa
ter. Proponents of the amendment
have declared that defeat of the
provision would result in higher
taxes for Wyandotte residents in
comparison with the present pre-
vailing rate.

Japs Still Active On MindanaO
Wounded Lieutenant Relates
Aerial Bombs Used for Land Mines by
Nipponese After Losing Air Power

The campaign on Mindanao may
be officially over but there is still
lot of Jap-killing to be done, ac-
cording to 1t. Robert P. Lockhart,
who has been evacuated to the
States for treatment of battle
wounds.
1t. Lockhart's wife makes her
home at 2519 Third street.
'Mopping up the disorganized
Japs hiding in the hills is a slow
and dangerous job" said 1t. Lock-
hart, who is now at Letterman
General hospital, San Francisco,
California.
A rifle platoon leader Of the oath
Infantry division, he was hit in the
foot and arm by fragments from
Jap mortar shell. At the time
he was wounded, he had been in
action for more than two months,
in almost constant contact with
the JapS.
The Japs are well hidden, and
that means that they usually get
in the first shot," he related. But
after that initial shot, it's good
bye jap"
After their air power on Minda-
mao had been smashed, the Nip
poneSe used 5O0-pound aerial
bombs as land mines, he continued
Luckily these huge bombs had
been hurriedly placed and they
were easily detected. They didn't
cause as much trouble, but when
they did explode, and the pressure
Of mans foot was sufficient to
detonate them, they caused plenty
of damage"
The Lieutenant, who is the son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Lockhart of
Conroe, Texas, earned the Com
bat Infantryman badge for his ex-
emplary conduct in action against
the enemy. He was indicted into
the Army in 1941 and after basic
training, was sent to Officer Can
didate school. He was retained at
the Infantry school as an instruc-
tor and served in the same capacity
at the Infantry Replacement Train
ing Center, Camp Fannin, Texas.
1t. Lockhart went overseas in
March of this year, to join the oath
division on Mindanao.

Fort Benning, Ga.

FORT BENNING, GA.-(SpeciaD
George L. Rogers of Wyandotte,
was commissioned a Second Lieut.
enant in the Army Of the United
States today upon successful COM
pletion of the Officer Candidate
Course at The Infantry School at
Fort Benning, Georgia. 1t Rogers
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Florence
Rogers of 1897 Fourth street, Wy
andotte.
The new lieutenant was indicted
into the Army on October IA, 1914
and served with the 111th Inf. Bat
talon at Camp Robinson, Ark, be-
fore going to Officer Candidate
school four months ago. He held the
rank of Private before being COM
misSioned.
The new officer is a graduate of
Roosevelt high school at Wyandotte
and attended Michigan State Col
lege at East Lansing, where he was
prominent as river on the SWIM
ming teams.
At The Infantry Schools, worlds
largest institution of it's kind, the
local officer took four months
course to fit him for his new re-
sponSibilities. The course covers
the technique of handling all the
varied modern infantry weapons
and the tactics Of leading small
infantry units in combat. At the
same time he is taught such diverse,
yet necessary, subjects as military
law, mess management, and admin
istration, and is constantly i'm
pressed with the enormous respon-
sibility Of an officer in time of war.
The men who attended Officer
Candidate School are recent Infan-
try ROTC graduates of colleges all
over the country. Others include
the best privates, corporals and
sergeants from regular Army out
fits, selected by their superiors for
outstanding intelligence and quail
ties Of leadership. During the course
even the mildly incapable are weed
ed out, so that the men who grad
uate with commissions are Ameri-
cas- finest soldiers, fully qualified
to be the leaders in our rapidly
growing Army.

dispatched abroad, at the call Of
the President, to dispell aggression
at its beginning?
Many politicians would have
chosen the first of the three courses
and by so doing steered middle
course between the isolationists"
and the 'internationalistS" - to
apply old labels of our pre-war
thinking.
1t is matter Of record that Van
denberg chose the most difficult
course Of the three. He switched his
thinking completely, and instead of
advocating insularity or isolationism,
he proclaimed the need for American
responsibility in world peace as the
best way to safeguard the home
front from another world war.
Vandenberg's courage came from
the following logic, as he presented
it to colleagues in the United States
senate only few weeks ago fol-
lowing his return from San Fran
cisco:
while want a powerful Army
and an invincible Navy to make our
national defense as impregnable as
possible, pending the time when
mutual arms limitations can be
made dependably effective, be-
lieve that no nation can hereafter
immunize itself by It's own exclusive
action.
Il say again, as I said on January
10. that since Pearl Harbor, World
War II has put the cruel science of
mass murder into new and sinister
perspective. I say again that the
oceans have ceased to be moats
which automatically protect our
ramparts. say again that flesh
and blood now compete unequally
with winged steel.
war has become an all-consum-
ing juggernaut. say again that If
World War III ever unhappily ar
riyes, it viii open new laboratories
Of death too horrible to contemplate.
I say again that ] propose 10 do
everything within my power to keep
those laboratories closed for keeps;
and, Mr.. President, they must be
kept closed all around the earth
