Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright,
courageous defender of Corregi-
dor and Bataan, and a former
brigade commander of the divi-
sion.
The first order for the "Hell
for Leather" men when they
reached Manila was to smash for
ward, at any cost, and relieve the
1000 civilian internees in Santa
Tomas University. In a spec
tacular dash through the barri-
caded, burning city, with enemy
fire pouring from every building,
the First overwhelmed the Jap
garrison at the university and
liberated the near starved pris-
oners.
The First, elements of which
date back to the Indian and Civil
Wars, had its first crack at the
Japs early in 1914, when its
doughboys landed on Los Negros
Island. Despite fierce opposition,
they swept inland and secured
the key Momote airstrip within
half an hour.
The "Hell for feathers" next
went into combat in the bloody
battle for Leyte. For AZ days Of
the monsoon season the men en-
dured what Gen. Walter Kruger
described "as the most brutal
terrain and conditions American
soldiers have ever been asked to
stand"

"IRise to Remark"

After the war, with faster boats,
better train facilities, faster and
larger trucks, and even an increase
in deliveries of perishable COM
modities by air, the problems OF
market distribution will be increas-
ingly serious. The equivalent OF
50 .OOu carloads of perishable COM
modities move through the Phila-
delphia markets, and even now this
represents only two-thirds of the
total. The balance by-passes the
markets and goes direct to the re-
failing outlets. We discovered that
of the $4,000 carloads, 35 per cent
of the produce travels back and
forth between the markets, increas-
ing costs, deterioration and spoilage,
and causing congestion.
How mucn tnls means in cash to
the producer or to the consumer is
still to be determined by the COM
mittee. Modern equipment for dis
tribution would protect the fresh
ness of fruits and vegetables and
improve sanitary conditions. The

NATION GIVES NEW
PRESIDENT HAND

By and large the nation has given a
hand to President Truman. The new
chief executive has impressed the peo-
pie with his directness, his fortnight
announcements on the burning questions
of the day and with his fearlessness in
undertaking the most gigantic task prob
ably every assigned to any one man. If
he establishes the full confidence of the
public at the start, he has made a good
start in successfully meeting the prob
lens and issues.
While the war presents the most try
ing problem, at the same time il also is
the very thing that makes for unity in
the nation That same unity is of even
greater moment in the period of working
out peace that will meet the needs and
at the same time unite all the nations.
Fully recognizing the responsibilities
that suddenly were thrust upon him, the
new chief lost little time in mirroring or
stressing them. In his address to con-
gress and in his subsequent utterances.
especially at his initial press conference.
the President speedily made it plain that
time must not be wasted in getting at
the business in hand.
Partisans of the President whoeheart-
edly paid tribute to the manner in which
he set out the business of the nation and
in his frankly pointing out the need for
help and cooperation of the legislative
bodies and in turn, the entire public. He
emphasized the ''we' and not the 81" and
by that gesture started to set up the tie
In between the two governmental agen-
cies charged with running the affairs of
the nation. He is a party man, he recog-
nlzes the two party system, but he also
appreciates the time for unnanimity in
action an his long experience in congress
already has done much to establish con-
fidence in both house and senate.
Especially did he make good impress
sion in regard to fight the war and max
ing the peace. AS to prosecuting the war,
he told in sentence his policy competent
men are doing that job let them carry
on The same attitude was expressed
as to the San Francisco peace confer
ence. Capable representatives are as
signed to that task. They shall proceed
And, the President added. Il shall attend
to my part of it here in the office"
He expresses clear and understanding
views on the framework for peace, he
will have nothing less than unconditional
surrender of the Axis aggressors.
1t is a good start altogether. There
hould be no stopping or slowing down.
Fo this end congress and the public can
contribute big share.

ADULT EDUCATION PLAN
New York Times)


When time enough has elapsed so the
social trends of the first half of the
twentieth century can be evaluated prop
erly, the growth of the adult education
movement will rank high on the list.
1t is a typically American project. Dur
ing the decade when 100000 men, the
equivalent of forty American divisions,
were rejected for illiteracy and 100000
men signed their first Selective Service
registration cards by mark, the adult
education movement has continued to
grow The fact that Sc per cent of our
people have only an eighth-grade edu-
cation, that 70 per cent have not COM
pleted high school, gives an inkling of
the opportunity in the field The re-
cent experience of Michigan is trail
blazer for other states.
In 1914 the Michigan Legislature voted

al program of adult education in three
general fields: home and family prob
lens, social-civic education and cultur-
al and vocational opportunities These
headings were purposeiy made general
so that groups which wished leaders for
discussion and directed study c o Il d
choose fields of interest that had special
appeal.
Governor Kelley, an enthusiastic sup
porter of the program, appointed fif-
teen members to the adult education ad
visory committee drawn from all walks
of life. In the classes no scholastic re-
quirements are set up and no credits
given. The whole purpose is to encour-
age personal improvement and while
some adult recreation. The plan is flex-
ible; it meets the needs and uses the
available facilities of communities. At
present, the major effort of adults is
directed to war work in its many ram
ifications but with the return of peace
the program will be greatly expanded.
1t may we'll be a trail-blazer for other
states.

LESSON OF BERLIN
Riverside Daily Press)

(RlN-rslde Daily PreSS)
Technically i. might matter littl e
whether the Allies continued their re-
lentless drive to Berlin. 1t is only
climatic incident now in winning the war.
But outwardly and visibly it is very i'm
portant. For the Nazis have boasted
that Berlin was never invaded, and never
would be.
The capture Ct that great, proud capi-
tai even though bombardment and fire
have made it little more than a smoking
shell, may be to all the world, and even
to the arrogant Nazis themselves, a SYM
boil of the overthrow of German militar-
ism and the establishment, by the United
Nations, of law and order in Europe.
1t is an old and true saying in Ameri-
can business procedure that lone picture
is worth 1000 words" The military pic
ture of the Allies marching into Berlin
and preparing to rule that proud and
wicked capita! as conquered province
until its arrogance is gone, may be con-
vincing evidence to the Germans that
hereafter they must keep the peace.
Many students do not agree that this
will be sufficient.
