 This decision resulted, not only in the transfer of the bulk of MalayaS Tneager air strength to SuYnatra and Java, but also the concentration of considerable U. g.. Army air forces In the Netherlands Indies, under the command of Maj.- Gen. Lewis II. Brereton.
 When arrived in Java from Singapore on Feb. l7, l942, Flying Tortresses were already operating there, including most of the re. douhtable ioth Bomb Group from the Philippines.
 But going to Java from singa. pore was like going from the fry. ing pan into the fire. The sorry remnants of the British and Amer. ican air strength from Malaga and the Philippines were not suficient to combat Japans numerical supe- riorlty. 1 witnessed numerous Japa- nese dive bomhers operated ale most at will. The British in su. Ynatra were using anti-aircraft guns as shore defenses for land action, firing point-hlank at Japa- nese landing parties.

 Late in February l made c quick tour Of the Java coast and was dis- mayed by the lack of defenses. The Dutch plan apparently was to con- centrate what military strength they could muster in the Bandoeng Plateau area, from whence they could deploy rapid strikes against any attempted landing.
 But Allied commanders had difs ferent Ideas and both British and Americans started going while the going was good.

 It was the first airplane ride ever had had.
 That was March 8, and the ca- pitulation of the Netherlands Inc dies was announced exactly one week later. Lt.-Qen. Ter Joorten surrendered at Bandoeng to pre- vent an aerial massacre of civil- fans.
 Meanwhile, in Australia, Japa- ilese bombers had struck ct Darwin and Broorne. Japanese landings had been effected ct three points in New Guinea, while Rabaul in New Ireland had been overrun and had surrendered to the Japanese.
 Australian Prime Minister John Curtin warned that the Japanese would next attack Australia. Feel. ing in Australia became increas- ingly bitter against Britain. The Australians felt they had been be- trayed through the loss of singa- pore, which was considered their first line of defense. Gen. Douglas MacArthur arrived in Australia from the Philippines and Austral- ian feeling became as pro-Amer- ican as 1t was anti-British.
 Curtin said, we must look to America" United States forces destined for the Philippines and Java were diverted to Australia and the Pacific battle front be- came concentrated in New Guinea and further down the east coast of Australia to ouadalcanal in the Solomons.
 Tn Burma and the Southwest Pacific the battle for India and Australia was on.

CORP. RoBERT V. sHOYE

Little publicl4ed during the cam paign for the Liberation of the Philippines, the record of the 7i6th Tank Battalion can now be revealed. Corporal Robert V. Shove, 20 East- wood avenus, is prouc of that record Supporting the DUughboys on As- sault Landings on Luzon. Panay Negros, Cehu, Jolo, zamboanga, Peninsula and on Mindanao, the rankers met and defeated the best that the Japs had. Cpl. Shove res lates, "Our tanks have fought every kind of warfare in the books. We engaged the tanks of the Mp 2nd Armored division on the roads and on the spreading rice paddles of Lu- zon, we took part in the street fighting in Manila and as part of Tank Infantry teams, we cleared the sons of heaven from the jung les of Mindanao, often using the big 76's on the tanks in direct fire at such close rsnge that the commands of the Jap officers could be clearly heard. We have been in continuous combat since the 9th of January and we moved from operation to operation so fast that often after firing a last shot at the retreating laps at noon, .J would find our- selves loading on LST's that evening, off for another Nip held island" Tank gunner Shove adds. Tn six months of fighting, our battalion Is officially credited with killing more than 5000 Japs, knocking out over 600 pillboxes and much of the ar. nor that the Japanese army used in the defense of the islands. It's no wonder that the infantry divi- sions operating in the Philippines regard the 7l6th 'Wolf-Pack' so highly". Corporal Shove has recent | ly been promoted to Q gunner in one of the big Sherman tanks.

cles in our press-that in 1945 we
have any notion of using Germany
as an theological barrier as we
did in 1919, they will take ideo-
logical control OF Germany and we
shall not be able to stop them.
This would, of course, destroy
the chances of a peace settlement.
for that settlement depends upon
the chance that the Soviet system
and the western, both having been
saved from conquest and extermi-
nation, will come to rest in the
common task Of dealing finally
with German aggression. That will
not be the settled and final peace
we yearn for but it will be the
only possible preliminary to such
a peace, for unless we agree with
the Soviets about the denilitariza-
ton of Germany, we shall become
fatally divided from them over
Germany. We shall then be facing
new opponent before we have
settled with our present enemy.
In measuring the success of the
Allied meeting we must bear clear
ly in mind that the military
phase of the japanese war is not
practically settled" Since sc
large a part Of the Japanese power
is on the mainland of Asia, a con
elusive victory over Japan is diff
ficult to conceive without the inter
vention of the Soviets in collabora
ton with the western powerS ane
with China. If we let our policy
in Europe be one of theological
conflict with the Soviet Union, WE
must not be astounded if Moscow
concludes that she will preoccupy
herself with the conflict in Europe
while we carry the whole burden
of the Japanse war.
In that event there will never be
world organization on the Dunn
barton Oaks plan. For it is evil
dent that a world organization O
security cannot be brought into ex
istence under the leadership of thu
five great powers if the war i:
not won by all five of them a:
fighting allies. That is the ultimate
reason why the meeting of the Al
lied leaders will be successful only
if the American people keep theil
minds fixed On the primary 90
jectives of the war, which are tt
defeat and demilitarize both oul
enemies.
Then, but only then when this
primary objective is achieved, on
ly when the foundation of militar,
security is firm. can we proceed
to our ultimate objectives-to allay
the misery, to restore hope, anc
gradually to re-establish law anc
order in which freedom can flour
ish.

RALEIGH, Jan. 24.-(P)- The

deer under agreement reached re-
Gently between the War Depart

Thus another large block. of Pied
mont counties which have not had
deer hunting for a generation, once
more may be populated by the
whiie-tails. Some months ago, a
similar project was started in re-
Gently acquired Uwharrie refuge.
And if the experience on the Fort
Bragg military reservation is a
criterion, James says, the Butner
area eventually may support one
of the finest deer herds in the
State.
The program, Federal aid

start this year with es ablishment
OF around Is deer on the reserva-
ton, with additional deer later.
Military authorities have agreed
to close the area to deer hunting
for period of at least five years
After investigating the area,
Frank Eatman, Pittman-Robertson
co-ordinator for North Carolina, de-
clared it to be "excellent" not
only for deer. but for other game.
