ONE ENEMY QUELLED

The genius and power of Amer
lea have, with her allies, ellml-
mated one menace TO our country s
freedom-even her very existence.
Still another remains TO be
crushed in the Pacific before
peace will be restored.
Speaking for the American men
and women | have been so hon
ored to command, l know that
they would say this with me TO
you today:
In our minds and hearts there
is no slightest doubt that Our
peoples spirit of determination,
which has buoyed US up and
driven us forward in Europe, will
continue TO fire this nation
through the ordeals of battle yet
to come.
Though we dream Of return to
our loved ones. we are ready as
we have always been, 10 do our
duty 10 our country, no matter
what il may be. In this spirit, we
renew our pledge of service to our
commander in chief, President
Truman, under whose strong lead
ership we know that final victory
is certain.

The Blackhawk Division is not

engagement was the knife thrust

among the division have been

The division was the last to be
sent to the European theater and
will be the first to go to the
Pacific. AS they debarked from

COSTS OF VICTORY

front. together we have found
the victory! But even the ban
ners of victory cannot hide from
our sight the sacrifices in which
victory has been bought.
The hard task of a commander
is to send men into battle know
ing some OF them-often many
must be killed or wounded in
order that necessary missions may
be achieved. 1t is a soul killing
task!
My sorrow is not only for the
fine young lives lost or broken,
but il is equally for the parents,
the wives and the friends who
have been bereaved. The price
they pay is possibly the greatest
for the victory won. The black
ness of their grief can be relieved
only by the faith that all this
shall not happen again!
Because / feel this so deeply,
hope you will let me attempt tc
express a thought that l believe
is today imbedded deep in the
hearts of all fighting men.
1t is this:
The soldier knows how grim anc
dark was the outlook for the
Allies in l941 and 1912. He is
fully aware of the magnificent
way the United Nations responded
TO the threat. To his mind, the
problems of peace can be no more
difficult than the one you had to
solve more than three years ago

dcnce in their coming success
against the Japs. 500 Michigan
doughboys from the Seth Black
hawk Division today awaited with
impatient eagerness 30-dsy fur
i0ughs before reaSSlgnment TO the

The division. numbering 80 De-
troiiers. sailed into New York
harbor yesterday from the Euro

DAYS of combat before the uncon-
ditional surrender Of Germany.
FIRST HOME AS A UNIT
Their return marked the be-
ginning of the army's mass rede-
ployment of troops from Europe
for the big push against Japan.
The S6th is the first 10 be re-
turned as a division.
1t was the Blackhawks day, and
the army left no stone unturned
10 see that il remained that way.
AS the huge troopships. carry
ing 14,2S9 enlisted men and
officers, proceeded through the
Narrows. thousands Of boys
pressed 10 the rail shouting wildly
at passing harbor craft and peer
ing intently into the early morn

TUG JOINS CONVOY
The convoy was joined by a
tug carrying $50 newspapermen
and radio representatives invited
by the army 10 watch the rede-
ployment plan in action, A special
launch with Gndersecretary of
War Robert p. Patterson and his
official party aboard was in the
escort.
Then the army went Hollywood
with a floating floor show.
A yacht with a WAC swing
band and a quartet of jitterbug-
ging girls hove alongside each ship
in the convoy.
This was strictly what the
Blackhawks had been waiting for
since they had been overseas.
They yelled Justify, and the girls
continued their performance until
the ships reached the pier.

BOYS LITTLE CHANGED

They are still the same kids
who left the states four months
ago from nearly every profession
and trade. A little tougher, a lt-
tie more capable. perhaps. but
sim the same average American
youth.
Pfc. Richard Breuer of Detroit
summed up the feelings OF the
boys in typical fashion.
Were just happy" he said.
"It's almost too good 10 be true
hut there's nothing we want
more than n visit back home"
TISgt. Bob Bivins of Pontiac
was equally pleased.
II clocked 10000 miles in
German territory, driving the
same jeep all the time" Bivins
said. "The jeep got hit by artil-
lery and sniper fire so many
times II got so I looked like i
was driving a cheese"
LUCKY BREAK

kegon described the arrival in
America and his impending fur
Tough as "one of the luckiest
breaks i ever got.
The Blackhawks are COM
manded by Mai. Gen. Harris NJ.
Melasky, native of Texas and a
graduate of West Point.
Both he and officials at the
New York Port Of Embarkation
proclaimed the success of the in
itial redeployment. The program,
they declared, places particular
emphasis upon returning the men
10 their home towns as quickly as
possible.
They estimate that an average
of more than 1900 men a day will
debark throughout the summer.

NAL WILL MAKE
QUALIFYING RUN

National Air Lines will make
tie first OF several required quail
fled runs over the jacksonville,
Fla, to New Yu,k run with stops
at Savannah, Charleston, Whining
ton, Norfolk, and Philadelphia to-
morrow, according to Macdonald
Bryan, public relations officer for
the company with headquarters in
Miami.
In a telephone conversation with
representative Of the Morning
Star last night, Bryan said that
no set time for the take-off Of the
plane from Jacksonville had been
set, and consequently he was I'M
able to state with any degree OF
certainty as to the time at which
the NAL plane would arrive here
and then almost Immediately de-
part to continue its journey north
ward.
The plane will cover the route
assigned by the CAB, namely
from Jacksonville to New York via
Savannah, Charleston, Whining
ton, Norfolk and Philadelphia and
the trip will be purely in the ma
ture Of a qualifying run as re-
quired by the Civil Aeronautics
Bureau.
The big NAL plane will land
briefly at Bluethenthal Field some
time during the day, Mr.. Bryan
indicated, and said that regular
service here would be inaugurated
probably within 80 days. He plans,
he said, to come to Wilmington
about ten days in advance OF the
first regular flight stops here.
National Air Lines now have
placed new DC-4 planes with 49,
passenger capacity on their New
York to Miami nonstop service,
Mr.. Bryan said.

/ A force Of 100000 1ndonesians
was reported in the area OF jog

miles southwest OF Soerabala.
Gen. Supradyi, their commander IN
chief and 1t. Gen. Uri had broad
cast an appeal earlier today for

They had received copies OF

their arms, and stating the rea-

In today's battles on the our
skirts of Batavia British tanks

up an attack. by 1000 1ndoneslan

Fourteen Indonesians were killed,
and two British Indian soldiers and
other Indonesians were wounded.
Another band of 800 1ndonesians
engaged Dutch troops at Tjililltan

British reports said six 1ndonesi-

IBandoeng, only rs miles southeast
of Batavia. Additional forces Of
armed Indonesians were said to be
pouring into Magelang. about Is
miles north of Jogjakarta. Some
residents already had begun to
evacuate Magelang.
Meanwhile the Dutcn here ap-
peared to be taking a more opti-

edge that Dutch troops were in
ships off shore, and on the hope
that the British would give military
aid in restoring Dutch power in
