mine. Word came back to me from
Manila that Macarthur approved,
and at the same time came a Mac
Arthur order for my North Luzon
force to hold the enemy north of
an east-to-west line running across
the narrow coastal plain SO miles
below Vigan at San Fernando la
Union. There was only one way
south for the Vigan landing forces,
and that was straight south down
the coastal plain. The mountains
on their left and the China Sea on
their right blocked any other route
The Japs came down the coastal
plain on December 81 and collided
with one battalion of the 18th In
fantry. Regiment and one battalion
OF the 18th near San Juan, 5 miles
north of San Fernando. Outflanked
by the power of the enemy. and be-
cause of inexperience, my men dis
persed and were cut off from the
main body. Scattered remnants of
the ruptured units fed into the
mountains to the east and filtered
back to us in small groups for the
next two weeks.
The senior American officers with
the 18th and the 18th Infantry
Regiments, 1t. Coils. Moses and
Noble, and Maj. Joe Ganahl, were
three of the finest combat officers
in my command. Ganahl, a spirit
ed Texan, fought as few men have
ever fought until the fall of Ba-
taan. And then, when he must
have seen with haggard eyes the
faint ray of liberation, he met his
death near the end of the war when
a Navy submarine torpedoed a jap
prison ship filled with our men.
Only God knows what happened
to Noble and Moses brave men
They took to the mountains after
the fall of Bataan and succeeded
In organizing a fair-sized guerrilla

u. ). Plans 10 Return
National Guard 10
States Within Year
D. c. to Get Several Units
Under PIons CoIIine
For Expanded Program
BY ROBERT BRUsKIN.

All National Guard divisions
will be "inactivated" by the War
Department soon after their ar
rival from overseas and will be
returned to State governments
within a year for an expanded
postwar role.
This policy has been announced
In letter addressed to the Adjutant
General for the District and all
States by the National Guard Bu-
reau, 1t was learned today.
The letter listed 10 National
Guard divisions scheduled for in
act1vation. Reliable sources de-
clared that postwar plans call for
reactivation of these divisions and
establishment Of five other National
Guard divisions. Twenty-Five of
them will be infantry and two will
be armored.
Will Expand Air Units.
The greatest expansion of the
National Guafd will be In its air
units If present plans are approved
by Congress. The Army called into
active service % observation SQUAD
rons before Pearl Harbor. For post
war defense these will be expanded
to 85 squadrons. all of which will be
tactical units of bombers.
Another expansion will be in anti
aircraft, particularly in Washington
and industrial centers along the At
lantlc seaboard and Great Lakes.
The District is expected to have a
complete group of antiaircraft ar
tillery composed of three or more
battalons and equipped with the
most modern guns, detection and
range-finder equipment. Their war
assignment would be to guard Gov
ernment buildings.
Other National Guard units being
considered for Washington are: One
Military Police Battalion, an Engi-
ueer company, Quartermaster
truck company and an ambulance
company.
Three Phases in Return.
The letter from the National
Guard Bureau, signed by Maj. Gen.
John F. williams, listed three phases
leading to the return of National
Guard units to their traditional
peacetime function.
The first phase, after the War De-
partment has decided on the final
strength of the National Guard, will
be the reallotment to States of the
type of units they will be required

New Law 10 Divide
Responsibility for
Strikes Is Pressed
Congress Support Grows
For System to Replace
Labor Disputes Act
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Strong support developed in
Congress today for new anti
strike legislation.
Prominent legislators of both par
ties told a reporter after a sharply
worded House speech yesterday by
Representative Robertson, Democrat.
Of Virginia that they want:
/. Repeal of the Smith Connally
Labor Disputes Act which permits
strikes if unions vote in favor of
them.
2. New legislation to make labor
unions and employers mutually
responsible" for observance of con-
tracts.
Chairman May of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee said he
favors such action and added: q
want to hold hearings on it as soon
as possible.
Also, I'm personally in favor of
specifying that either an employer
Or a union which won't submit to
arbitration should have its bargain
ing rights taken away"
Representative Arends of Illinois,
Republican whip, said in another in
terview:
This is not a partisan matter
Congress and the people both want
something done soon to halt strikes
One piece of helpful legislation
would be to put employers and en-
ployes on an equal basis, so they
both had to assume responsibility
for keeping their word"
Other Leaders Back View.
Many other legislative leaders
questioned echoed similar views.
Bills to repeal the Smith Con.
nally measure already have beer
introduced by Representatives Smith
Democrat, of Virginia, one of the
authors, and Representative Har-
ness, Republican, of Indiana, an in.
f1uential COP lawmaker.
Mr.. Mays committee handled the
original measure, hence would hole
hearings on its repeal.
Applause greeted Mr.. Robertson.
House speech, in which he asserted
"Self1shness is rearing its urgly
head to mar the picture of recon.
version.
I'm the face of our desire to, helr
labor, labor is going on strike.
I'VE have put all the powers oil
the Government behind any unior
demand to make corporation live ur
to its contract, but have not put any
legal responsibility on unions
IF we are to avoid labor friction
that may hinder and possibly de-
feat successful reconversion, the
Wagner Labor Relations Act should
be amended to provide for mutually
of responsibility between employees
and employers"
Mr.. Robertson said in an interview
later he believed repeal of the

tion of a mutually responsible
measure could be handled in one bill

By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Army head
quarters announced today that
transfer of the Cunard liners
Queen Elizabeth and Aquitania
from American troop service to
British use made it doubtful that
the back home" schedule for
fighting men can be met.
Commenting on the announce
ment of Alfred Barnes, British Min
lister of War Transport, that the
liners were being taken out of Amer
ican service, the Army said shipping
space for at least 125 900 American
soldiers in the next three months
had been lost.
Eighty-Point Men Delayed.
Definitely delayed, it was stated, is
the return home of 80-point men
who fought in Europe and who were
to have been cleared for home by
the end of October.
The 80-pointers will be given high
est priority, however, and the last of
this group may be on the way home
by the early part of November.
There were no estimates when TO
point men may be returned.
IF the shipping allotment for
this theater is increased to COM
pensate for the loss of these ships
December shipments will be STEP
ped up to meet the target of only
100000 men remaining here by
January l." the Army statement
said.
Earlier it had been planned to
ship out the bulk of nonessential
men during october and November
U. S. Keeps Queen Mary.
Shortly after it was announced
the British were recalling the Queen
Elizabeth and Aquitania to British
service it was learned that the
Queen would start carrying Cana
dians home within 10 days.
The Aquitania, it was reported
will be used at least temporarily
to carry Australian soldiers to their
homeland.
The Army said it had planned
to use the two ships for four more
voyages to carry some 10000 SOL
diers.
Mr.. Barnes said the Queen Mary
will remain at the disposal of the
Americans.
He added that the United States
was placing at Britain's disposal a
number of smaller ships which would
render equivalent service.
Reallocation Necessary.
The defeat of Japan, Mr.. Barnes
said, had made necessary a realloca-
ton of Britain's big liners. While
the war in the Pacific was on, he
explained, it was thought that the

Victory Loan is
To Be The Final
Bond Drive
Total of $197,5OO Is
Needed to Put Lincoln
County Over Top
MANY GOOD REASONS
FOR BACKING DRIVE

You are being asked to buy War
Bonds-Victory Bonds, they are
noW-after the War is over?
Why? All of us know, without
being told, some of the reasons. We
know that million and a quarter
Americans were killed or wounded
and that we must take care of the
injured men and the families of
the dead
We know that there are still mill
ions OF Americans overseas and
that we must bring them home as
soon as we can and maintain them
till they get here.
These facts are obvious-just as
obvious as the fact that it will take
lot Of money to handle the prob
lens they present.
It's also obvious, when you come
to think of it, that winding up a
war as big as this one is expensive
business in other ways. For in
stance, huge sums are still required
to pay for war materials which
were ordered. produced and deliv-
cred some time ago.
These reasons for buying extra
Bonds in the Victory Loan are clear
and easily understood
But there is another reason for
making the Victory Loan a success
In these years of war. the Ameri-
can people have displayed mighty
sound judgment They have come
to accept Bond buying as a way to
obtain financial and economic Sc
curity for themselves as individuals
and for their country.
Whole communities have thus
changed, in the last few years,
from debt-ridden, hand -to-mouth
groups to communities of solid cit
liens with financial reserve, a
financial stake in the American
system, and newly formed habit
of regular saving.
As result of this good INDIGNANT
we have been able to hold off dis
astrous initiation, finance a good
part of the costs of war, and save
the incredible sum of 100 billion
dollars.
And as result of these accomp-
uSnmentS, we, as nation, stand
ready now to win our final battle
in the fight to throw off the effects
of war and get this country back. as
fast as we can, on a solid, prosper
Gus, peacetime economic basis.
The next few months will tell the
story. And if, during this critical
period, we will only use the brains,
the will power, the energy, the en-
terprise, the materials and res6urc-
es with which we won the war we
can't fail to win the peace and
make this the richest, happiest land
the world has known
Lincoln County's share in this
drive amounts to Sl97,500, Of which
$4,000 is to be spent for E Bonds.
Let us meet our obligation!

Christmas Tree
Sales Heavy

The season Of 1945 promises to
be a top year for the cutting of
Christmas trees in Lincoln county.
Throughout the woods men are
busy harvesting the trees which
will bring Joy next month to thou
sands Of children and older folks
as these trees from Lincoln county
bring the joys Of Christmas into
homes scattered throughout the ma
ton.
According to statistics from the
forestry, an approximate 100000
Christmas trees in 1914 brought
the forestry an income of about
$4,000. Figures exclusive of term
sales for the present year, show
that the department expects a cut
ting of approximately 42l,300 trees
which will net the department in
round figures, $4,000.
The northeast part Of Lincoln
county near Eureka, is said to be
the heaviest producing section for
the county Many truck loads Of
trees however, come into Libby for
shipment and stacks of them have
been piled high at the Great North
crn depot awaiting shipment.
