fore. They knew the Kachins in
that area were the only Burmese
natives friendly 10 the Allies.
Lazarsky was we'll received
when he explained his mission.
For the next two months he
spent his time teaching the ma
tives how to use American arms
and contracting the other OSS
men in the area.
Chinese and American forces
were able to get to Myitkyina.
For 76 historic days they at
tackled the city. The Japs, COM
manded by Colonel Mariana,
held. The Allies were more
anxious than ever TO get Mari
ana and d destroy the legend
which was growing around his
ability among the other natives.
On the 10th day, Myitkyina
fell - but Mariana and 100 Jap
soldiers escaped. They were re-
ported fleeing to the big Jap
base of Bhamo. Through the Ka-
chin grapevine, Lazarsky soon
learned what trail Mariana was
taking in his flight. With about
so Kachins, he started after him.
One day the chieftain of the
tiny village of Wuhpru met La
zarsky in the jungle and told
him a Jap party had just taken
all the food and chased out the
inhabitants. Wuhpru was about
85 miles from Bhamo.
Lazarsky had about 25 men
with him then. The others had
been deployed along the way on
scouting missions, At about IL
o'clock in the morning he saw
the village through the trees.
The Japs could be seen moving
about inside. The village, nestled
in a hollow, was ideally suited
for attack.
Lazarsky placed the 60 milli-
meter mortar he had with him
about 300 yards from the tar
get. The Kachins were about $50
yards away, ready to fire at al
most point-blank range.
When the firing started the
Japs screamed in terror. Only
light fire was returned. The
shooting continued for about 10
minutes, and then the village
was quiet. They rushed in to
check the dead. After a few Sec
onds' inspection, a Kaehin ran
to Lazarsky with a Jap colonel's
insignia in his hand.
Col. Mariana had been killed
by one of Lazarsky's mortar
shells. His body was found on
a stretcher, indicating that he
had been wounded before. His
papers and Identification were
taken by Lazarsky, and the body
was buried by the villagers. The
Kachins were given the reward.
For the next nine months the
Japs steadily lost ground. La
zarsky organized and led a bat
talon of kachins against the re-
treating Japs. They chased the
Japs as far as Lashio on the
Burma Road. This was Lazar-
sky's destination. He left for
home after the Kachine made
him a member of the tribe and
feted him at a three day cele-
bration.

guished Flying Cross. Legion Of

LANNON'S WISE ADVICE

Alfred M. Landon, Republican presi-
DENTAL nominee i'm 1886, calls on Ameri-
cans 90 give united support to President
Truman in his attempt to frame our foreign
policy. declaring that the world is watch
ing not only what our President does, but
how we support his foreign policy"
Mr.. LandOn decries "our emotional APP
preach TO the problem of world peace and
Of Russia" He says that the effort to work
with Russia is not being made easier by the
loose talk of people in the United States
that eventually we must fight Russia" or
- others who insist that all Russians are
perfect and that all criticisms are fascist
lies"
The five basic facts governing foreign
affairs today as listed by Mr.. Landon, are:
CD A large part of the world hates the
Russians: (2) A large part of the world
fears Russia: (3) Russia fears the rest of
the world; ca A large part of the world
wants American investments and American
business connections for political as we'll as
economic reasons; and, (5) Europe, for
many centuries the center of the world, is
IN complete confusion because of our mill
taFy victories and the lack of agreed peace
policies among the Allies.
The declaration of Mr.. Landon is help
Gal and should tend to create something like
non-pOlitical unity among Americans in re-
gard 90 foreign policies. Obviously, it is i'm
possible for any government to frame poll
cies 10 suit every individual and, conse-
quently. we must be prepared to accept less
than 100 percent satisfaction of our per-
s0nal wishes and desires

SENATORS TALK IN ROME

Three United States Senator's, discuss
ing international affairs at Red Cross
club in Rome Italy, in an 'off-the-record
manner, seem to have stirred up some dis
cussion in Italy and some of those present,
at least, left the meeting considering the
likelihood of war between Russia and the
Western Allies.
Senator Wheeler, of Montana, ex-
pressed the view that it was ridiculous for
anyone to get the impression that break
between the United Nations was likely and
AYERS that the touchy aspect of the discus
sion arose from questions from the floor
rather than from what the Senators said.
Milton Bracker, New York Times cor
respondent, says that Senator Hawkes., of
New Jersey, at one time asked the audi
ence, "How do you feel about finishing the
job by fighting the Russians?' He adds
that the query was theoretical, reflecting a
question from the floor, rather than the
senator's thought, but the discu Is s o n
reached precarious ground when the sena-
tor asked for a show of hands.
The incident apparently illustrates the
danger of such congressional tours, espe-
cially when loquacious congressman insist
on expressing their opinions abroad. The
people of the United States know how to
take their politicians, but senator, ap-
pearing in Italy, is often accepted as an
important official competent to state the
policy of this country.

Because Prime Minister Churchill re-
Gently sent message to the Syrian Cabinet
urging them mot to exaggerate atrocities"
in connection with the recent French-Syr-
ian outburst some Moslem members sug-
gest that he is getting ready to change sides
in the dispute between Syria and Lebanon
and France.
1t is matter of record that General de
Gaulle and other French leaders have been
freely accusing the British Prime Minister
of giving assistance to the Syrians and Leb-
anese and that the French blame the Brit
ish for all the trouble that has occurred.
Evidently, the Prime Minister pleases
neither side, which suggests that he must
be on fairly even ground.

CAN'T UNDERSTAND UNCLE SAM

ST can't understand how the govern
ment would do anything like that
Remarks of that import are frequent,
because there are many things that we, the
people, who constitute the government,
can't understand.
Aside from Uncle Sans insistence on
your paying him promptly when you owe
him anything and his taking time to pay
you when he owes you anything, there are
many instance where he does not spend
his money with care and circumspection.
AS has happened good many times, par
ticularly during this war, he has spent
money when there was no need to spend it,
as later developments have proved
We have seen instances of that locally,
but no instance has caused so many ques-
tions to be asked as the Nays construction
of 1853 units on the property acquired from
the Johnson heirs.
With so many Navy men having left
town for the West Coast or elsewhere. we
have been unable to understand the neces-
sitv of providing more housing accommoda-
tions for Navy personnel. And now comes
County Judge Raymond R. Lord, declaring
that he has been informed by man who
is in position to know that the local Navy
personnel, as result of so many Navy
men leaving here since We Day, is no
longer pressed for housing accommoda-
tons.
Another point that Judge Lord stressed
has been the stopping of private enterprise
by government agencies from constructing
substantial buildings while the government
has continued to erect low-cost or tempo
rary buildings.
Yes, there are many times when we
can't understand Uncle Sam.

The process is explained by the stra-

And they rang the old Liberty Bell.

Freedom for every American !.

Independent and happy are we.
On this day our guns are roaring,
Our tanks are rolling along,
Our boys are fighting with all their might
To conquer our enemies strong.
Enemies cruel and ruthless
Who would enslave people that's free;
Great God give us strength to defeat them,
That we still may have Liberty.
In Flanders wnere peoples are blooming
BY white crosses standing row on row;
Many have given their life's blood
For the freedom we now enjoy.
We Day has come for Europe,
But still there are battles to fight;
We must conquer the Japs eer We finish;
May God lead by His might.

Lasting peace that will always endure;
Let us hope this sad will be ended
