(By Camp Newspaper Servicea
 The Japs brought out their full bag of tricks in a vain effort to repel our successful invasion sf Luzon Island, including use of hu- man torpedoes.
 The human torpedoes were msre interesting than dangerous, and did very little damage to our warships or transports. Most of the Japs ac- complished little except the dubious achievement of blowing themselves up.
 To turn themselves into human torpedoes, some Japs lashed ex- plosives on their backs and swan under water in attempts to blew holes in the hulls of our vessels. However, a man swimming in the water, it developed, just couldn't carry a sufficient weight of explo- sives to do much damage.
 To camoufage themselvese, sev- eral of the Japs used wooden boxes over their heads, stimulating rub

New Compass, Light Help Bombers

A novel kind of gyro-compass and a new system for changes in color in identification lights are helping to increase the efficiency of American bombers in the European theatre.
 The compass, located in the wings, is far from the magnetic disturbances occasioned by the fuselage, and relays readings to the navigator's compartment. The other innovation was designed to foil enemy reconnaissance planes able to determine the recognition color of the day. Now selective control makes it possible to change this color several times day, thus enabling anti-aircraft gunners to nail any German Sleeper plays"

 Others used luggers and small boats. A few of the luggers were 100 feet long and covered with palm fronds. They were secreted in the narrow waterways behind San tiago and Cabarruyan Islands, at the northwest corner of Lingayen Gulf, but our fliers easily penetrat- ed the make-shift disguises.
 Some others used small motor boats filled with explosives. One such motorboat charged broadside into one of our ships and blew it. self to pieces. Another small ea- emy craft ran abeam of one of our vessels and the Japanese crew tossed hand grenades onto the deck.
 But the verdict of V/Adm. The odore s. Wilkinson, commander of the Linaygen Gulf task force was: "There wasn't a good, honest ter pedo in the lot.'

special ruling from the Maritime
Commission, but when the Victory

1t will be christened with bottle
of bourbon instead of the traditional

The request to use bourbon came
from the Younger Women's Club OF

commission employe, said:
There is historic precedent for
your suggestion. 1t involves the
launching of the battleship Ken
lucky in 1898. -
"As understand it. it was de-

water from Abraham Lincoln's
birthplace to christen the ship. This
created considerable clamor in Ken

additional taxes to individual home
owners and many parcels of un-
improved land would not be carry
