Key Figure in Strike
RecIassified IA by
Cleveland Draft boarc
BY the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, Jan. I7.-Loca]
Selective Service Board No. Is yes
terday reclassified from 2-B to Ia
Victor Stemberger, %, member OF
the CIO-U Utility Workers Organizing
Committee and central figure in q
critical 16-hour strike against the
Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co
Board Chairman Karl Kist said in
a signed statement:
"Occupational deferment is can
celed because he left the very re-
sponsible position for which he had
been deferred, taking others with
him and causing the Gel strike,
which interfered with the war
effort in far greater measure than
any one single strike which has oc-
CURED in Cleveland since the start
of the war"
Mr.. Kist said Mr.. Stemberger, q
boiler operator, received a six
month occupational deferment De-
cember %.
Mr.. Stemberger, father of two
daughters, is union steward in a
Gel plant. Leonard Palmer, local
UWOC president, contended he was
discharged through removal of his
time card from its rack, but the
company denied dismissal and said
his refusal to accept transfer to
night work precipitated a walkout
last Friday of more than 400 union
lists. Mr.. Palmer said the strike
was unauthorized
The Army seized Gel facilities
under presidential order early Sat-
urday and returned them to private
management yesterday. Both the
union and company reported Mr..
Stemberger back at work.
Mr.. Palmer's draft board met last
night to consider his case, but A. z.
Baker, board chairman, reported
following the meeting that the
group found no basis for reclassify-
ing" the local UWOC chief.
Mr.. Baker added, however, that
the board will request information
regarding Mr. Palmer's occupation
and report the case to selective
service headquarters.

Yonk Comes Out of Luzon Hills
After 3 Years With GuerriIIos
He Promoted Himself
In Order to Give
Ranks to FiIipinos
BY DEAN SCHEDLER,


WITH UNITED STATES FORCES
ON LUZON, Jan. ia tall, blond
American who spent nearly three
years leading thousands of armed
Filipino guerrillas against the Japa-
nese came out of the Luzon hills
yesterday eager to tell about enemy
forces, learn the welfare of his par
ents back home and get a pair OF
American-made shoes.
He is Capt. Robert Lapham, Dav-
export, Iowa, who began his hit
and-run warfare against the Japa-
nese with 20 men and 6 rifles.
He was second lieutenant when
Gen. Macarthur ordered him to 90
through the enemy lines in Febru-
ary, 1912, to organize guerrilla
bands. AS his army grew he pro-
NOTED himself to major. That left
him plenty of ranks to pass out to
Filipinos who brought in new guns
and new men.
Many Close Calls.
The strapping 6-foot guerrilla
leader came through many close
calls unscathed and appeared at Ga
headquarters looking like a Holly
wood-style cowboy-a beatel down
garrison hat, long sideburns, ma
tive clothes and Japanese shoes
with the toes cut out.
He had to think for a minute to
recall his age. It's 28.
He picked up his military back
ground in the University of Iowa
Reserve Officers Training Corps
volunteered for service in the Phil
ippines, fought in the Pampanga
and Bataan campaigns.
Then, Capt. Lapham went on
"early in February Macarthur or
dered me and an American major
to break through enemy lines across
Bataan and work our way into Pam
panga and out in the Central Luzon
provinces to organize guerrillas.
Eve took with us eight Americans
four of whom were officers, and 1O
Filipino scout noncoms to assist in
organizing units which could be
broken into smaller elements for
fast and speedy infiltration of the
enemy area.

ture.
On one occasion, the guerrilla
chieftain said, he was eating break
fast In native barrio when Japa-
nese patrol appeared.
| "The Japanese came sauntering
up, looking in the windows" Capt.
Lapham said, when about 40 or so
men opened up on them. After
only few short bursts from our
guns, the Japanese dropped every
thing and ran wide open for the
hills.
Little engagements like this were
always fruitful, as we gathered upl
the enemy guns and ammunition
to augment our supply"
On January S, Capt. Lapham re-
ceived orders through the under
ground network to begin an all-out
drive against the japanese in his
area. He spread the word about
his guerrillas that American troops
were going to land in force and with
this inspiration slashed heavily into
the confused Japanese ranks.
MY men went to work immedi-
ately and up to January 13, when II
left them to come through the lines
to headquarters, they had accounted
for at least 1000 Japanese killed"
Capt. Lapham said.
"They caught the japanese in
groups Of all sizes in villages and on
the roads, by day and night, giving
them almost no respite in their eff
forts to move troops and equipment
through the Central Luzon areas.
Forty-three Trucks Knocked Out.
They knocked out 43 trucks up
to the time I left and had derailed
one train between Munoz and
Guimba in Nueva Ecija Cprovince
east of present American positions,
They love to get -wrecking jobs.
"They took up the rails on a curve
and sent troop train of three cars
carrying supplies and two with
troops off into the rice swamps."
The captain said he had more
than 1000 men in his forces and
recently the Filipinos have been
pouring in until he again has more
men than guns.
When Capt. Lapham walked into
military intelligence offices here to-
day he asked to see the commanding
officer so he could tell what he knew
about the enemy. Next was a new
pair OF shoes to replace the Japanese
shoes that pinched his feet. And
as soon as he sees Gen. Macarthur
he wants TO sit down and write some
letters home. He twice got mail out
by submarine, but he has not heard
from his parents for three years.
The shoes he wore into camp were
one size too small
Il have about a size 8 foot and
| all the Filipinos and japanese were
much smaller" he explained. 81
would take a Japanese shoe and cut
out the top for toes, but this was not
too good in walking through the
brush and streams Often, with a
little skill on the part of my boys,
they would patch up a pair of shoes
into fair shape, but they would not
stand up under the severe pounding
gave them"
The American supply officer offered
Capt. Lapham his pick of any shoe
in stock. He chose pair of green
canvas jungle boots. Capt. Lapham
said he thought they were the finest
in the world, but best of all-they fit.

The Realism Of Sen. Nandenbery


You are right, Mr.. vandenberg. Now we are "ge..
ting somewhere
In every great crisis America has found leaders to
say in simple, honest words the truths that resolve
great crises.
In this crisis of the war and the peace, we have
again found leaders big enough to change their minds,
and big enough to speak for the people. Your speech
on foreign policy, Senator, was in this great Amer
ican tradition.
The job of wagng coalition war; the job Of fashion.
ing coalition peace poses historic problems. Russia
moves alone, lines her borders with defensive buffer
states Britain sends paratroopers to fight Greek
patriots, liberal Italian political figures. To
disillusioned and anxious Americans these actiens
pose grave political complexities
But it is the genius of great leadership, Mr. Van
denberg to cut such complexities down the size Of
job that can be done.
You have done this, Senator, by asking why does
Russia act alone? Why does Britain act alone?"
In seeking the answer are, you say, 'sstang

Russia acts alone because she wishes protect her.
self against Germany and As yeu say, seeks never
again to be the mercy of another German tyranny.
Twice within one generation has German militarism
brought Russia to the brink of national extinction.
Only together can friendly nations end the threat
of German tyranny, you say, "for keeps" German
and Japanese killers hands be empted of their
guns and stay emptied. Only in this way Britain
and Russia feel secure. Only when this is done will
they cease to act alone for their security.
