1T WILL never be necessary for Junior Ponderby
i to ask, Papa, what did you do in the War;"
Junior has heard all about it repeatedly. Though
ex-Corporal Ponderby has exchanged his chevrons
for cheviot he is still living in the militant past.
Ex-Corporal Ponderby's favorite seat of opera
tons is revolving stool at the lunch bar in La
Petite Patootie. His favorite opening is, ''I'H
forget the time . and by golly,
he never does.
''Ill never forget the time we trapped Won
Dunkluck,'' he remarked to me yesterday as l
waited for my Blue Plate Special. Maybe you

the old Marmaduke Thrust, combined with the

NO" admitted frankly.
Ponderby squared his elbows on the counter

plate of mine is the Saar Valley"

AL right" agreed, His plate did look rather
like little valley with hlocks of mashed pota-
toes and groves of spinach.
Here's the Rhine and here's the Mosee.'
Ponderby laid his knife and fork alongside the
plate. That butter dish is Won Dumkluck with
two PdI1Z6T QlVlSlOllS ftIlu IlCIc Won

Doake's tank corps, and over here where Ive
put the salt shaker is our heavy artillery.
Now as Won Dumkluck advanced, our forces
came down on both fanks - like this" Ponderby
moved the butter dish toward him, and then
brought the sugar bowl and the salt shaker to-
gether behind it. "Deploying on the diagonal they
gradually encirced Won Dumkluck until he was
completely cut off from Won Dimwitz. He was
trapped And when Won Dmwitz tried to advance
with reinforcements he was trapped. 1t was as
simple as that. But, boy - what strategy!'
Triumphantly the ex-Corporal picked up the
Rhine, spread Won Dumkuck over Won Dimwitz.
He'd gained his objective. He had my butter.

Far away from America today are millions of Ameri-

Behind us lie 80 years of deadly struggle in which,
with Gods help, we have prevailed.
So, today, we celebrate a victory.
After the celebration, what lies ahead?
For most of us, the outlook is a bright one. If we will
simply use the brains, the will, the energy, the enter
prise the materials and resources with which
we won our war, we can't fail to win the peace and to
make this the richest, happiest land the world has
known.
For most of us, the years ahead are bright with
promise. But for others of us-and, ironically enough,
their part in bringing victory was a major one-the
years to come must bear a different look.
In America today are hundreds of thousands of in
jured men. Men with neatly pinned-up sleeves and
trousers. Blinded men. Men with clever iron hooks
instead of hands. Worst of all, men with hurt and dark

Millions of Individuals Will Benefit, Corpora

WASHINGTON. Dec. 31 = The government tomorrow hands the country a S6,0OO,O 100000 incentive to expanded business activity.
 The 1946 tax law. providing the first general cut in taxes since 1929, was written deliberately to encourage spending for reconver- sion and high peacetime protluc- tion.
 Federal officials expressed con- fidence today that it would have that effect.
 Corporations will get total tax cut of $3,136 0o0,0o0--a sizeable kitty which the government hopes will be plowed back into the making of more goods and more jobs.
 Individuals will benefit by total of $2,800 100000, through cuts rang ing from 100 per cent for some l2,000,000 low income persons to 10 per cent or more for the average taxpayer. This will bolster pur- chasing power at time when pay envelopes and salary checks are getting thinner.

Congressional Investigat- ors Into Pearl Harbor
 Attack Get New Dope

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 = Con- gressional investigators learned to- day that It. Gen. Walter c. Short told an Army inquiry board in 1914 that Admiral Husband E. Kimmels staff thought 10 days be- fore the Pearl Harbor strike there was no chance of a surprise air attack on Hawaii.
 Short and Kimmel were the Army and Navy commanders. re- spectively, at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese struck the naval base Dec. ', 194l.
 The Senate House committee in- vestigating the attack received thick, bound volume of Shorts testimony before the board as Ad- miral Harold R. Stark, former chief of naval operations, testified at length about pre-war events.
 Stark told the committee that Kimmel was amply warned to be on guard before the Japanese att tackled.
 In the Army board testimony, taken here Aug II, l944, Short contended that largely because of information he had received from Navy sources, he felt late in 194l that the chances of an air attack on Pearl Harbor were very slight"
 Along with a 25000-word state ment from Stark, the committee received voluminous correspondence which he wrote to Naval officers during the months before the Pearl Harbor attack plunged the United States into war
 From Star and these records, the investigators learned that.
 Stark felt that neither Con gress nor President Roosevelt fully supported his efforts to bolster the strength of the fleet before the war.
 2-At the time Germany att tackled Russia, Stark urged Ameri- can entry into the war and at the same time expressed hope that Russia and Germany would "ex- haust themselves" in conflict. A Communist dominated Europe. he wrote then, was mo more an at tractive picture" than a Europe ruled by Nazis.
 3-President Roosevelt issued in structions on May 22, 194l. to get an expedition of 25,000 men ready to sail in 30 days to seize Portu- guese- owned Azores in the Atlantic.

 Although the Navy Department has so far refused to confirm or deny the letting of the contract, plans already are underway local ly to fly men north to start nov ing about 1900 tons of equipment and materials from Point Barrow to Umiat, where Lytle and Green are to continue test drilling started by the Navy.
 Later other freight will be moved to Cape Simpson where a second exploratory well is to be drilled. Geological survey work is to be con- tinued and it is considered probable that other well locations will be selected.
 Applications for employment on the project have been accepted Tor the past week or so, according to John Wood, Lytle and Green ac- countant who said that Herman Reichmann, superintendent of the ccmpany's mining and dirt moving operations, would have charge of the Barrow job. Reichmann returned to Fairbanks from the Outside We'd nesday night.
 Lytle and Green, colning to Alaska as management contractor for the Alaska section of the Alaska mili- tary highway during the war, in addition to handling several war time airport construction jobs, has branched out into mining and other construction fields as a peacetime contracting company in Alaska. The company recently suspended work on the Alaska railroad housing develop ment at Healy due to winter weather. One of the largest construction firms now operating in the States, Lytle and Green has had previous oil eX- perience in Texas and Oklahoma.

 SEOUL, Korea, Dec. D. Delay ed)-Korean hotheads fought in the streets of Seoul and threw rocks at American soldiers today in violent protest against the Big Three's five year trusteeship plan for their coun- try.
 Rightist speakers addressed mass meeting which demanded immediate recognition of Korena provisional government, called for a strike Of Koreans employed by the American military government, and branded opponents to ndependence-now as traitors
 In an attempt to forestall more demonstrations against the trustee ship program, announced after the Russian British American conferen- ce at Moscow last week, American military authorities who control southern Korea ordered an 8 p. m. curfew.
 (There was no report of the Kor- can reaction to the program in the northern part of Korea, where the Russians are in control)
 Huge posters on Seoul buildings charged the Communist party with responsibility for the trusteeship plan.
 Hundreds of Korenas employed by the American military government walked off the job, mob attacked the office of a newspaper which the Rightists declared had Communist leanings; banks closed and police men left their posts
