tWaBF nKtOn Correspondent
OF The Hey West Citizen

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA.
AS producer of war materials,
Monroe County ranks thirty-sec-
ond among Florida counties, it
was leaned today.
Data on government eXpendi-
lures during the war show that
$124,000 of federal money was
spent in the county to procure
materials and products for di-
rect and indirect war uses. The
$124,000 was used for materials
other than aircraft, ships, ord
nance and communication equip
ment.
No aircraft, ships, ordnance or
communication equipment were
produced in the county.
To encourage the production Of
war material, the government
spent S2,298,000 on plant facilities
md equipment in the county. The
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton is now trying TO sell much of
this equipment.
Federal expenditures for ma
terials, products and facilities, and
S43, 095,0 900 for strictly military
installations, were S45, $4,000.
This is not the total of war ex-
penditures, because the estimate
does not include contracts under
$4,000 or funds spent for food
products.
Monroe county materials cx-
penditures were exceeded by
those in thirty one other counties.

KINCFISH BOATS

to school. UP. '.

Kingfishing boats have not
failed to 60 out since the first
good catches were made last Sat
urday and Sunday, Berlin FELTON,.
operator of A. & B. Fish Com
pany, announced today.
Mr.. Felton's market, one of
three in the city, brought in 5000
pounds over the weekend but
with the present warm weather
kingfisherrnen have been bring
ing IN little fish. Yesterdays
catch at this market alone, for
instance, was only 1000 pounds.
There is no evidence of the
kfn2fish market being glutted,
Mr.. FELTON, said, adding that his
present shipments are going di-
rect to cities where the entire
catch is sold.
kinefish usually school up
when the northers come down
hard and best catches are made
immediately following a norther
when the water is cool and spicy
ard the fish strike readily at the
bats. In the present warm
weather the kingfish scatter up
and feed in small groups or singly.
They feed on BALLAD and other
sardines and bait" fish, which
this time of year come down the
reefs.
FISHERMEN today are. going to
try closer to shore to see If they
can locate schools of fish. !
Usually bats of strip fish flesh
are trolled behind the kingfiSh
boats but if fishing IS slow tho
fishermen ma yhave to "squid'
which consists of laboriouslV
fishermen may have to "squid'

 The GI's urge the boys to get over here right away and sweat it out in the monsoon season in water up to their knees and all the little ,mpleasantries that go with that-the threat of malaria, dysen- tery and what-not. And don't forget to take your shots.
 NO CRYING
 Most of the CT truck drivers and maintenance men now breaking their backs on the Stilwell Highway get from $720 to $900 year. None of them would seriously object to being discharged so that they could earn $6600 a year and return home win some money in their pockets. Prom North Africa to Burma thousands of men have no oppor- tunity to earn combat stars, since combat has ceased in their thea ters. With rotation cancelled, they figure they'll have to remain over seas three years in tropical cli- mate in order to qualify for a dis charge under the point system. They think it little unfair, but no one is gripping.
 Getting back to General Stilwell. I'd run out of space writing all the stories of the legend built around him, but the tired, sweating GI's of the India Burma Theater send this message:

 will he lead the invasion of China? It would be pity if he didn't"
 General Stilwell invaded North Burma with the Chinese 38th and 22nd Divisions he trained at Ram garh, India. He made his famous proclamation at Imphal on May 21, 1942: we took a helluva beating. It was humiliating as hell. We ought to find out why it happened and go back" The doughty general couldn't get the ammunition to the men, so he took the men to the ammunition. The 28th and 22nd were flown to Ramgarh and, when equipped and ready, flown back into action again.
 General Stilwell and his men an- initiated one of the crack outfits of the Jap army, the 18th Division, conquerors of Singapore. The Stil- well campaign eliminated in the capture of Myitkyina, which opened a shorter air route over the Hump of the HimalayaS. In this campaign, the "left-hookers." as Gen. Sultan calls them-storm troops who spear headed the way-Were Maj. Gen.

 SAVED STRIPES
 With General Stilwell in com- mand, CTS assure you the Chinese effort would be intensified. They say the 38th and 22nd Divisions, the best troops in the Chinese Army. have a great love for General Stil- well, who paid many visits to hos pitals to see the Chinese Ping, or CT. The substance of one letter to the India Burma Theater Roundup, of- ficial CT organ in this part of the world, was: "We will ne yer forget the American General Stilwell."
 CTS who personally knew Uncle Joe relate innumerable incidents about his humanity. A corporal was broken to a private because he hadn't saluted General Stilwell. The incident was reported by an officer witness. Hearing of it, General Stll- well wrote the Adjutant General: T remember the incident and I know the man didn't see me" The private became a corporal again.
 General Stilwell said the only medal he cared about was that of the sharpshooter.
 Uncle Joe told the editor of the CBI Roundup: Write anything you please about anyone including my self, but be damn sure you can prove it." A picture of General Still well and burlesque comic side by side was captioned Uncle Joe and Uncle Moe." All the brass were hor- rified. It was disrespect to general.
