BUT THEY LIKE ICE CREAM
(Christian Science Monitor)

{ Christian Science MOnltOr)
The story of how a destroyer which
had rescued an ace Navy pilot playfully
held him for ransom till his carrier
came across" with 20 gallons of ice
cream shows clearly how modern Am
ercan sailors tastes run. Only the larger
vessels have ice-cream machinery, and
recently barges especially equipped to
turn out this frozen delight have been
sent to the Pacific to serve the fleet.
Everyone who has had a hand in well
coming soldiers and sailors back from
the war zones knows that one of the first
things they ask for is fresh milk. They
love it. They can't get enough Of it. Al
most an equal favorite is ice cream When
we read recently that one hold of a ship
sunk by enemy action off Okinawa had
been loaded with beer we were surprised.
We wondered how many other ships had
been similarly loaded. Of course, shipping
fresh milk across the Pacific is out of the
question, but we also wondered why
Army or Navy officials permitted space
to be allotted to beer when the boys like
ice cream 50 we'll.

COASTAL AREAS UNDER
ATTACK BY JAPS

Now that "it all can be told" there is a
bit Of rivalry among coastal areas as to
the invasion gestures of the JapS. That
the Nipponese did get across has been
known ever since their sporadoci, futile
attacks came and failed.
The most persistent effort was in send
ing the pilotless balloons across the Pa
cific Nearly 300 Of them actually made
the crossing and landed as far inland as
mid Montana. Not few landed in South
ern California some in British Columbia.
No casualties were inflicted except in one
instance and that because an outing party
exploded the bomb the balloon carried.
Nearest to Imperial VALLEY was the
wandering gas bag which fell in Blair
Valley in the l.aguna Mountains.
The "Outstanding" Jap attack was off
shore near Santa Barbara early in the
war when a submarine surfaced and sent
q few shells to do some damage.
1t has been concluded that submarines
made efforts to penetrate into San Pedro
Nos Angeles) harbOr.
If ever the Japs had chance at all
to invade the coast and exact damage and
casualties it was when they held the Aleu-
tians. Strategists in this country never
hay. been able to understand why this
venture was overlooked or abandoned, if
part Of the plan in seizing the fog bound
islands off Alaska. Neither can thev un-
derStand why the sneak attack on Pearl
Harbor was not followed up with destruc
ton Of Honolulu. which, it is agreed,
could have been ACCOMPLISHED in the days
that followed Pearl Harbor.
While it was impossible for the Japs to
have made any major invasion of our
coast, in the early weeks and months
Of the war, few Will contend that they
could not have done considerable damage.
However all events 60 to prove that

REAL WELCOME AWAITS
GEN. WAINWRIGHT

When the final roll of heroes of the
global war is made up, close to the top, if
not at the top, will stand the name Of
General Jonathan Wainwright. He is COM
ing home soon. A nation waits to well
come him and to hear his story of the
years in Japan's prison camps.
And with him will be the remnant Of
the fighting men of Bataan and COrrig
edor as we'll as others who fell into the
laps hands before Wainwright was
forced to surrender.
Gen. Wainwright accepted the call to
duty that could only end in death or cap
tivity. He was named to stay at COrrige-
dor when his commanding general was
ordered by his superiOrs at Washington
to leave the Philippines when it was
known the little army Of desperate Am
orleans could not hold out long. Vain
wright was elected to stay. Macarthur
was commanded to make his way to Aus
tralia to start plans for the long trek
back
A few days ago daring bunch of para
troops decided the time had come to find
Wainwright and release him. And off
they went to do just that, risking their
lives in the act. Now the hero of Bataan
again is free and soon will be homeWard
bound.
1t may be he will again join his COM
mander in fastening the surrender terms
on IIirOhitO and his hordes of killers. In
this task he would know what to do and
how to do it.

PETAiN THE GOAT
(San Diego Union)

Decrepit old Marshal Potain, once a
popular hero. is under sentence Of death
by the French court and in prison await
ing execution. As the court itself asked
that the death penalty be waived, it is
possible that Gen. de Gaulle may com
mute the sentence to Imprisonment.
Such a course, however, might not only
lessen de Gaulle's prestige with the popu-
lace, but lead to serious internal strife.
T. While few Americans will condone
Petain's collaboration with the Nazis-a
course he undertakes to excuse on the
ground that he felt he was serving
Y Frances best interests-there will re
main a conviction with many that the
aged marshal is being made the scapegoat
for a tragedy whose primary RESPONSE

BY Congressman John Phillips

Repeatedly in this column l have
pointed out that inflationary trends
in this world war, when compared
honestly and without politics or
propaganda with trends at compar-
able periods of World war one, are
greater now. They offer threat to
our postwar plans and to the fu-
ture of our kind of government.
I have net done this because /
wanted so many words to fill a
column, and surely have not done
it to frighten the people who read
it. I have done it because I am con-
vinced that an honest recognition of
the path down which we are being
led would mean an aroused people.
We are the children of the Pill
grims and of men and women who
for more than a hundred years left
Europe to obtain TIE freedoms for
which we are now fighting y every
part Cf the world.
SHOULD BE TOLD
We are not the cnIlGran Of os-
triches, to put our heads into the
manufactured sands of propaganda;
to be told that everything is under
control, that there is no initiation,
that things are just ducky. We came
from the lcins of men and women
of courage, and there was time
before we got within earshot of this
Washington Scylla and Charybdis.
when we had courage too. If we can
send our sons to be sacrificed
abroad, are we net to be trusted for
the necessary sacrifices here?
A few days ago Congressman
Howard Buffet of Nebraska, who is
probably giving more study to this
subject of initiation than any other
member of congress, placed in my

The third district court Of appeals
has held that contracting hay bal

The appellate court reversed the
YOlo county superior court which
ruled that the California employ
ment commission could not collect
unemployment insurance assess
ments from John Rose, a contract
ing hay baler in Yolo county.
The district court upheld thc
legality of the commissions ruling
that agricultural labor exempt from
the assessments includes only en-
ployes of farm owner or tenants
of a farm on which materials in
their raw or natural states are pro-
cuced.
The state supreme court has made

VITA Explains
Sales Made Of
SPOILED Goods

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. UP)-
The War Food Administration has
sold nearly $30,000000 worth of
surplus" government food and re-
lated items to civilians during the
past nine months, including can
ned fruit and vegetables, lard, Gig
arets, spoiled evaporated milk, and
eggs.
VIA officials explained that sales
OF rationed fooGS would not add
to the amount available to civilians
since in most cases the sales were
of older stocks needing to be re-
placed by more recently packed
goods to prevelt spoilage.
The government purchases vast
quantities of foodstuffs for the
armed forces, lend-lease. an6 SUM-
dry other purposes. When surpluseS
arise, sales are announced publicly.
Once. WPA officials said, some
one made mistake" by buying
more canned milk before getting
rid of all the cid stock. Result: the
ole milk wasn't sold fast enough,
some of it went bad, and the VIA
accidentally sold 250,000 cases of
spoiled milk to the public.
The cigarets, it was explained,
were $1,000 worth of an unpopular
brand that remained unsold for two
years at a South Pacific naval base

he said 1--WE should keep it going
Committee Chairman Ebert D.
Thomas Cd Utah, said ForreStal
and Undersecretary of Navy Ralph
Bard presented tables showing la
Dor needs and illustrating labor
turnover.
From other sources it was learn
ed that the navy considers its labor
turnover problem uncomfortable by
any presently available means. In
1914, two of every five navy yard
workers quit their jobs, and in the
past IS months the navy has hired
100000 workmen only to end up
with a net loss of 11,000.
The result has been "an alarm
ing rate of slippage" in delivering
of combat ships. 1t is now possible
to disclose these facts:
At the New York Shipouilc ing
Corp, which is producing light car
riers and heavy and light cruisers,
sliprage amounted to 68 cruiser
months-sufficient time in which to
have built three cruisers, four car
riers, or nearly 10 submarines.
In the past year the navy has
had to push back by 38 ship months
the high priority program of es-
cort carriers at the Todd Pacific
shipyards, Tacoma, Wash. The
yard en6ed 1914 with net loss of
1000 workers.
CARRIER DELAYLD
The aircraft carrier TaraWa
which was to be the key ship of a
potential new task force, will not
be completed for several months
beyond the scheduled date.
Five ships scheduled to be fin
ished at Tacoma haG to be tCWed
to another area after launching for
completion of more than SO per
cent of the contract.
At Bethlehem, San Francisco, II
destroyers were delayed from 90 to
Isl days; light cruisers SO days.
At Puget Sound navy yard bar
racks ships were delayed from 167
to 259 days.
The navy also faces a serious re-
pair situation. Invaluable fleet units
have been held up by lack of man.
power in the face Of urgent re-
quests from fleet commanders to
return them to the firing line.
Admiral Ernest j. King has re-
ported delay in completion of cer-
tain warships needed for planned
! operations in the Pacific.
