the situation at Ueno had improved

A police officer showed me through
three levels of the station, pointing
out various types with sleepy in

policeman escort pointed out group

had no coat. shoes or sandals, and

with the added note that the same
lack of awareness of the critical
nature of the situation seems to
have existed in Washington. where
inter-service cooperation was ex-
cellent, as in Hawaii where it was
less satisfactory"
The weakness exposed in this
country's war-waging organizations
during the conflict just closed were
mostly defects of coordination
Mr.. Eberstadt said. He listed:
"Gaps between foreign and mill
tary policy-between the State
Department and the military estab-
lishments. Gaps between strategic
planning and its logistic implemen-
tation-between the joint chiefs OF
staff and the military and civilian
agencies responsible for industrial
mobilization. Gaps between and
within the military services-prin-
cipally in the field of procurement
and logistics. Gaps in information
and intelligence-between the exec
utive and legislative branches of our
Government, between the several
departments and between Govern
ment and the people"
These ills are susceptible Of cure
without dangerous experiments with
our present setup," he said.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-As

1912, during the Battle of Los
Angeles" 4th Army Air Force head
quarters disclosed yesterday.
Antiaircraft fire was sent up and
Army searchlights tracked the
planes over Beverly Hills through
Long Beach and out to sea.
"The blackout and antiaircraft
firing in the Los Angeles area on
the morning of February Is, 1912,
were caused by the presence of one
to five unidentified airplanes," 1t
Gen. John l.. De Witt, then COM
manding general of the 4th Army
and the Western Defense Com
mand. reported. He added it was
his belief that three planes ap-
peared over Beverly Hills.
Commenting on supposition that
the aircraft had been launched from
an enemy submarine, Gen. De Witt
said, my belief is that those three
planes could have been launched
from submarines somewhere close
into shore under our detectors."
He said only As fighter planes
were available for interception that
night, and that if the unidentified
aircraft preceded an attack I'VE die
not want to have our pursuit in
the air, half out of gas when the
attack came in" For that reason
no planes we're sent up. Both pilots
and planes were alerted and ready
for action and bombers were poised

Now that the year 1945 draws
to a close, I believe it is well to
acouaint the patrons with what
the School District has accom-
plished this past year.
A year ago our teaching staff
climbed from 81 to 81 teachers
and our total employed list from
approximately 40 to IS. The en-
rollment climbed from the average
daily attendance of a year before
of 100 to approximately 1850. Last
April the enrolment took a sud-
den drop to a little less than 1900
where it levelled off for the rest
of the year. This fall we opened
with approximately 1900 and have
gained until now we have ap-
proximately 1900 students enroll
ed in the entire system. This addi-
tional enrolment demanded more
space and more funds on which to
operate.
The additional funds for opera
ton were granted by the Federal
Works Agency. For the past two
years the Federal Works Agency
paid all the additional cost and
Rhaintained the district at its av-
- age cash balance for the three
years preceding.
For this additional operation the
government made grant of $122,-

to this, the Federal Works Agency
