 He began another gallant fight for life, and the nation heard of it and crowded his little room with gifts and letters and flowers.

 She thought her son would get well. The Corporal grinned, and said he couldn't die.

DESTRUCTION
 IN CHINESE,
 CITY SEVERE
Compares to Roman Sack of Carthage, Says
 0WI Writer
By Spencer HIoosa


 CHUNGKING, Aug. 6-The once beautiful city of Kweilin was sacked by the Japanese with thorough ness comparable to the Roman sacking of Carthage, it was re- ported today, while at recently liberated Kanhsien officials listed 50,000 of the Chinese population dead or missing. Kweilin, once a city of 500,000, was ravaged with a fury reminis- cent of Lidice, said dispatch from the former provisional capital of Kwangsi,- written by OWI Cor respondent David Chandler.
 The Kanhsien report asserted that 50,000 Chinese residents of that southern Kiangsi Province city were killed or disappeared during six months of Japanese occupation. No details were given.
 A simultaneous Chinese Central News dispatch said that up to July's end more than 1000 civilians had been killed in the Yangtze port of Ichang, western Japanese bas- tion in Central China. This report said the Chinese died of poisonous injections forcibly administered by the Japanese, who said they were innoculations against meningitis.
 At Kweilin, which the Chinese reoccupied July 27, Japanese squads, for 20 days before they fled, sys- tematically set sections of the big city afire. Traitors in the city, Chandler wrote, were given $3,0OO Chinese for every building they destroyed.

PEARL HARBOR:
Prepared: Marshall

Declaring that American military
forces in Hawaii were more ade-
quately equipped than at any other
installation in the army, Gen. George
C. Marshall, former U. S. chief Of
staff, told the congressional commit
tee investigating the Pearl Harbor
disaster that he felt Maj. Gen. Wal
ter Short was prepared to meet a
surprise attack on quick notice.
Rejecting general military opin-
ion, however, Marshall testified that
he did not expect a Japanese at
tack on the big base,. even though
both the army and navy were aware
that enemy spies there were for
warding information on fleet move
ments in Pearl Harbor to Tokyo.
A conservative Japanese thrust
southwark to Thailand and Malaga
was anticipated, Marshall related.
Acknowledging receipt of Shorts
reply to Marshall warning of pos
sible hostilities sent on November
~, the ex-chief of staff said special
attention was not called to the fact
that the Hawaiian commander had
only reported alerting his forces
against sabotage without mention
ing other preparations.
Regarding U. S., British, Dutch
and Canadian pre-Pearl Harbor
discussions, Marshall said their
purpose primarily concerned the de-
feat of Germany rather than Japan.
In message to President Roose-
welt sometime in the summer of
1941, the former chief of staff opined
that the Allies could not defeat the
Nazis with supplies alone, but large
ground forces would be required.

u. S. DIPLOMACY:
CHARGES DoubIe.DedIing

In one Of the most boisterous con-
gressional hearings Of recent years,
willy, silver-haired Maj. Gen. Pat
rick Hurley ripped into the state
department career men for their al
legged interference with his efforts to
unity China and establish it as a
base for far eastern political stabil-
ity.
Alternately calm and heated, Hur-
ley, recently resigned as ambassa-
dor to Chungking, told the SEN
ate foreign relations committee that
during his discussions with Chinese
communists he concluded that GER
tain state department officials had
convinced the Reds that his policy
for unifying the country under
Chang Kai-shek would be strapped.
Instead, the officials were said to
have declared that the u. S. would
seek to stabilize Asia with a con-
trolled Japanese empire.
In hitting at the career men, Hur-
ley charged that they sided with i'm
perialist Great Britain, France and
the Netherlands for keeping the
orient divided to permit the con-
tinued exploitation of the subject
people.
In alleging underhanded state
department workings, Hurley stated
that war plans drawn up for the Big
Three meet at Yalta and favoring

FAT STOCK:
Record Sale

Grand champion Of the Chicago

sleek Shorthorn steer raised by
Carl A. Henkel of Mason City, Iowa,
and Joseph Duea of Belmond, Iowa,
brought the highest price ever paid
for steer when it was auctioned
off to John r. Thompson, Chicago
restaurateur, for $11,100.
Sired from a Shorthorn bull bred
by Chicago Packer Thomas E. VIII
son, Tomahawk scaled LOO pounds,
bringing the owners return to $40
a pound, $1.15 less than the all-time
top per pound paid to the Eastern
States exposition champion of 915
pounds in 1929. Tomahawk's huge
return justified the confidence of its
owners, who turned down a $500 bid
for the steer II months ago.
High prices prevailed for stock
champions, Karl Hoffman, veteran
Hereford breeder of Ida Grove, Iowa,
receiving $50, $3.50 for his grand prize
carload of Is steers averaging 1,022
pounds, and George E. Hoffman and
his son, George Jr. of Ida Grove,

When lot more workers than
Jobs begin to plague the employ
ment offices of the country, some
az million men stand to have a
little tougher shedding than their
fellows that is, unless the pro-
gram that will be getting under way
as these lines appear achieves the
worthy purpose that its designers
have for 1t.
The potential workers who are 60
ing to get this special help are
the men who have made the second
greatest sacrifice In World War II
the ones who gave all never came
back. I'm going to talk about the
disabled American veterans.
In times of great unemployment
a person with a disability has two
strikes on him when pitted for a
job against a perfectly able-bodied
worker. Therefore, the Disabled
American Veterans, a veterans or
ganization whose membership is
confined solely to the war disabled,
is setting up the machinery to 60
to bat for him so that he from whom
much has been taken to keep the
rest of us secure within the wide
bounds of these United States will
have at least as good chance as
his able-bodied colleague in getting
a job where he can earn q living
for himself and his family.
For the first time in it's history,
DAV, the Disabled American Vet
Grams, has set up highly integral
ed national network Of employment
officers headed in Washington by
DR.. Gilbert S. Macvaugh, disabled
veteran Of this war and a former
lieutenant commander with wide ex-
perience in personnel and employ
ment counselling. These employ
ment officers have their hands
reaching out in two directions-one
toward the disabled veteran and one
toward the employer in an endeavor
to bring the two together SO that
the employer and the veteran may
meet and reach an agreement on a
job.
Let me give you two small exam
pies Of the type Of thing the DAV
is getting ready to do in big way.
Take the case Of the man who
had been wounded in the invasion
Of Normandy. An injury to his
spinal column paralyzed him from
the waist down so that he Is bed
ridden. On directions from the
Washington DAV Office, the local
employment officer Of the DAV con-
tacted the man to see what kind Of
work he might do while in bed and
yet receive some income. In the
mans community there was a
small plant for making hooked rugs.
The DAV representative arranged
to have the bed-ridden veteran
make hooked rugs and market them
with this concern.
Then there is an entirely different
type OF case-seeing that justice is
done the disabled veteran after he
does get a job. A guard was en-
ployed in a certain public build
ing. He had a slight nervous dis
order for which a psychiatrist was
treating him, prescribing a little
medication to be taken while on
duty. One day the medicine made
the veteran feel drowsy and he
asked to be relieved from duty for
few hours until he could overcome
1t. That was refused him. Subse-
quently charges were preferred
against him and he was given q
letter of suspension. The DAV Ma
tional Employment officer went to
the mat for him and had the whole
case uncovered.

It. The answer was that pilots,
knowing the hazards, took extra
precautions in using the field. So a
disabled veteran, already knowing
what it is to be handicapped,
uses considerable extra care.
I said the DAV had set up q ma
tional employment program for the
first time in its existence, headed
up in Washington by a National
Employment officer. Then each
state has a Chief Employment of
ficer. The DAV in each state is
divided into chapters, or local units,
and each has an employment Of
ficer also, thus bringing the contact
of this helping hand right down into
the community where the veteran
lives or is hospitalized.
Before the program can begin
operating in the complete way en-
visioned by its planners, the men
who can offer the jobs have to be
contacted personally and the chal-
lenge of their opportunity to make
work available to handicapped vet
Grams has to be put squarely be-
fore them. This has been the first
task Of DR.. Macvaugh and his corps
of emplOvment officers.
