Southeast Asia Moves
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

The Japanese hold on Southeast Asia
is slipping rapidly.
In Burma, brilliant campaign by
Gen. Leese's army group composed of
the 18th British and 1st Chinese
armies) has brought Allied forces into
Mandalay and Lashio and has en-
circled the bulk Of the Japanese troops
in Burma.
liant dash Of the British 4th Corps to
Meiktila, some 30 miles southeast Of
Mandalay, from the 1rrawaddy bridge
head at Pakokku. This operation, which
took place some three weeks ago, sealed
the doom not only Of the japanese gar
rison Of Mandalay, but OF several other
Japanese divisions fighting along the
Middle IrrAwaddy. It cut the main
highway between Mandalay and RAN
COON, and has put the 4th Corps within
striking distance Of the Mandalay-
COON railway at Thai.
While 1t may be too much to ex-
pect an advance to Rangoon during
the comparatively short time remain
ing before the beginning Of the sum-
n1er monsoon in May, there is just .
possibility that this might be accom-
plished, for the Japanese forces left
outside Of the Meiktila trap are not
strong The destruction of the main
Japanese force, caught between Man
dalAy and Meiktila, seems virtually as
sured.
Rangoon Is a much more important
military objective than Mandalay. II
this great port could be taken, q shorter
and better route for the flow Of sup
plies overland to China could be opened
of the road between those points 10 al
ready in Allied hands, with Indian
troops pressing east from Mandalay as
far as Maymyo. while the 1st Chinese
Army (Which includes American, Brit
ish and Chinese units) Is working south
west from Lashio toward / junction
with the Indians.
Meanwhile q series of small but i'm
portant amphibious operations are In
progress along the Burmese coast, while
the steady growth Of the East Indies
deet suggests that expansion Of these
operations may be In prospect either
before the summer monsoon Or per-
haps Ia September when it begins to
abate.
While the liberation Of Burma thus
proceeds rapidly and successfully, It Is
noteworthy that Ia French lndo-C China

Readers Defend Citizens Council
10 the Editor Of The Star:

Your correspondent, Charles A. Bar
ker, in letter published by you on
March Z, made quite an elaborate argu-
ment for the so-called democratic proc
esses Of the Citizens Association and
with the same gusto condemned whit
he called the undemocratic Citizens
Council for Community Planning, Inc.
To me this is 4 demonstration of the
theory that If you repeat something
often enough and loudly enough you
eventually will believe 1t yourself.

the people in the District Of Columbia

ested individual or organization may

the citizens associations as free or as
democratic? CHARLES H. FLAGG.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In last Wednesdays Star, Charles A.

! do not think we can do better in
answering than to quote verbatim from

the Citizens Council for Community
Planning.
The statement reads (after stating the
fact that the Citizens Council for Com.
munity Planning has approved s-6lo In

adequate and unsound): we should
like to state that the board OF delegates
of the council meets monthly and the
executive committee meets weekly. The

representing individual members and
103 individual members.

This Changing World
By Consfsnfins BrosCs

After an eight-year absence from the
United States, Gen. Macarthur Is ex-
pected to return-for brief period 1t
least-in thesnear future, probably dur
ing the early part Of the summer.
The hve-star general was 'lent" to
the Philippine government In 1885. In
1885 he was appointed field marshal Of
the Philippine Army and devoted all his
time to the organization and defense OF
the islands against the Japanese.
After the conquest, or the Philippines
by the japanese, President Roosevelt
personally ordered him to Australia.
Gen. Macarthur considered the defense
OF the dominion rs 4 vital job But the
liberation OF the Philippines always re-
manned OF paramount Importance. Gen.
Macarthur had pledged his word as
soldier that his task would be ended
until the japanese were thrown out OF
the archipelago.
This Is by way OF being achieved. The
resistance OF the JapS In Luzon is almost
at an end. Liberation OF Mindanao and
Panay Is expected within the next few
weekss ending Japanese domination Of
the Islands. Gen. MacArthur's pledge
will then have been fulfilled. He viii
have executed the orders received from
his Commander in Chief. President
Roosevelt, and kept faith With the
people Of the Philippines. With his first
major task terminated, Gen. Macarthur,
who Is now general of the Army and
consequently no longer subject to mill
tary regulations on retirement, will be
at the disposal of the Commander in
Chief for any assignment Mr.. Roosevelt
might wish to give him.

In high military quarters 1t Is believed
that his services will be required further
in the Pacific and he may receive the
command Of combined ground and air
forces.
The question Of the supreme command
in the Pacific has been discussed for
some time. There have been various
rumors to the effect that when the main
efforts Of the Allies are directed against
Japan's "home" defenses the overall
command will be entrusted either to
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz or some
general other than Macarthur The
names Of Gems. Marshall and Eisen-
hover have been mentioned frequently

DR.. Jemison, who just returned

FIRST NEGRO COMMANDING
OFFICER ASSIGNED
IN ATLANTA
By DeaUilds Bush HGirstOm

ATLANTA, Sept. 10 (ANP)-
For the first time, Negro has
been assigned commanding officer
of the Washington Park recreation
al area, Sub-Post Fort Mcpherson
in this city. He is 1st 1t. Booker
w. Carter, who took over his as
signment at the one base of it's kind
in the southwest for Negroes.
1t. Carter was previously at Ft.
Mcpherson, reputedly as the first
and only Negro officer ever at that
base. The assignment of 1t. Carter
eliminated persistent agitation on
the part of Atlantans who had re-
quested that a Negro be placed as
commanding officer of the recrea-
tional center. Since the beginning
of the war, the former executive Of
ficers were two lieutenant colonels,
one captain and several lieutenants,
all white.
A native of Los Angeles, the
young commanding officer was, be-
fore entering the army in Novem-
Der, 1912, a templet layout man in
the department of engineering of
Douglas Aircraft. If and when dis
charged he plans to enter the teach
ing profession.
Along with his overseas ribbons
and campaign star, the lieutenant
wears a purple heart, awarded to
him when he was crippled by an in
jury to his foot caused when his
jeep hit a land mine in Italy. He
was with the 370th Infantry regi-
ment, pioneer element of the 92nd
division.

lished by the army for enlisted men

adjustment represents about 40 per cent of the increase originally re- quested in their May 24 petition for adjustment. This settlement was reached as a result of conferences held in Juneau last week between officials of the Buffalo Coal Min ing Company of Anchorage and the Alaska OPA.
 In the interests of maintaining production it was agreed that this increase would provide a potential maximum price realization com mesurate with considerably revised production costs as now claimed by the mine. This adjustment, as granted by the Alaska OPA Direc- tor, is only temporary. Effective June 25, it will terminate on Sep tember 25, at which time further substantiation will be required from the company as a basis for per- manent ceiling.
 A similar adjustment will be made at the dealer level to cover this in crease in the producers price.
