u. 5. Subs Sink
10 Jap Ships:
Total Hits q8q

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. fUP)-
American submarines have sent 10
more enemy merchant vessels to the
bottom in far eastern waters, the
navy revealed Saturday.
The bag announced included two
medium cargo transports, three
tankers. three cargo vessels and
two Transports vital to Japan's
efforts to maintain tenuous sea
lanes to its stolen empire in the
south.
This latest haul brings to 989 the
number of enemy vessels sunk by
U. S. subs in this war. OF the 989
sunk, 104 were combatant ships and
885 non-combatant.
Since January l, the navy has an
nounced the sinking of 65 enemy
vessels by American submarines.
Five of these were warships.
The unrelenting war of attrition
against Japan's battle and merchant
fleet is not without cost, however.
Only yesterday the navy had to
scratch the 36th u. S. submarine
from its list, the Growler. The navy
revealed its loss soon after announc-
ing the sinking of three other YES
sels-the LIST 749 and the mine
sweeper Hovey and Palmer, all il
the Pacific.
The Growers former skipper
Commander Howard w. Gilmore
won wide fame earlier in the wa
when he sacrificed his own life by
issuing an order to take her down"
to prevent the subs destruction in a
fierce gun duel with a japanese
ship.

DRAFT pRIORITIES
New York Times)

New York 1lmeS)
The increased manpower needs of the
armed forces and the desire to obtain
younger men will apparently once more
make it necessary to go into war plants
to obtain these men. This creates diff
ficult situation, because at the present
time war plants are also in need of great
er manpower. A year ago, when the draft
was at its peak, many men were taken
out of war plants, with adverse effects
no war production. Now, to minimize
such a development, War Mobilization
Director Byrnes has suggested priority
system for selecting draftees. The theory
is that those contributing the least to the
war effort would be drafted first, while
key men in critical war activities would
be drafted last. There can be no quarrel
with Justice Byrnes' statement that
"every effort must be made to protect
the more essential activities to their full
est extent consistent with the numbers
of men to be inducted."
Past experience, however, indicates that
there are many border-line cases which
will be very difficult to classify. Despite
such difficulties, it is important that
wherever possible less essential men be
drafted first One problem is the diverse
nature of the local boards, with the un-
avoidable differences in judgment as to
what may or may not be essential in
terms of the local labor market For eX-
ample, in some areas of the country war
production can be seriously impeded if
common labor is drafted because of a
serious shortage of such workers. We
have local pools of manpower, not a ma
tional pool. Men vitality needed in one
area may be considered to be unessential
in another, and hence may be drafted
because, under the present controls, there
is no way in which manpower can be
shifted between localities. In the final
analysis, therefore, the ultimate decision
as to who is drafted will rest in the good
judgment and common sense of the local
boards, just as it has in the past four
years of selective service operation.

Even More Dangerous
4 the Christian Science Monitor.

From the Christian Science Monitor
1t is still by no means clear whether
the Nazis used the German general staff
or whether the general staff used the
Nazis. The militaristic tradition, the
awe for gold braid and shiny boots is
older and more deeply imbedded in
German thinking than are some of the
other national traits which the Nazis
infiamed under forced draft. And the
German general staff since the advent
OF Bismarck has acquired a sort of spu-
rious immortality, a self-perpetuation
which floats through victory, defeat and
any type Of government. It achieves
responsibility abroad also because of
meticulous adherence to the professional
soldiers code. Field Marshal Won
Rundstedt may never have been a
Nazt at heart. But he is an able repre-.
sentative of q cult which now may be
more dangerous to the world than even
Adolf Hitler-a cult which employed
wholesale terror as a weapon when Hit
Ter was still a corporal.

Sinkiong Flares Again

6elaCeQ reports OF travellers from
Sinkiang picture condition of bit
ter civil war between the native
Moslem tribes and the Chinese gar
risons in that remote province on
China's westernmost borders. Bet
ter described by its alternative title
of Chinese Turkestan, Sinkiang, as
the Chinese call it, is a chronic
trouble spot. It is a vast depression
in the very heart of Central Asia,
surrounded on every side by some of
the loftiest mountains in the world.
Probably the bed of a long vanished
inland sea, most of the depression is
desert. but its edges, fed by streams
from the snow clad heights, are fer
tile and support considerable set
tied population. while nomad tribes
wander widely with their flocks and
herds.
Geographically connected with
China by difficult communications,
Sinkiang bounds mainly on Tibet to
the south, Outer Mongolia to the
north and Russian Turkestan to the
west. 1t is from what is now Rus
sian Central Asia that Sinkiang re-
ceived its Moslem religion and cul-
ture, and most of the present popu-
lation is still of Turki stock. The
Chinese have never effectively COL
onized the country, and the natives
have always been refractory to Chi
nese rule. Away back in the 1870s
a great Moslem revolt under Yakub
Beg drove the Chinese authorities
from the country, and the Manchu
Emperors asked the Russians to re-
store order. the Russian troops ulti-
mately Withdrawing. History re-
peated itself in 1896, when fresh
rebellions resulted in Russian inter-
vention and species of Russo
Chinese condominium, the Russians
withdrawing when they were en-
gagged in life-and-death struggle
with Nazi Germany in 1941.
Russian interest in Sinkiang, how
ever. continued, and last year trouble
arose between the Chinese authori-
ties and the Republic of Outer Mon
golia, formerly a Chinese depend

has been further complicated by the

Roosevelt Tributes

The custom of making use Of coins
as memorials for distinguished per-
sons dates back to remote antiquity.
1t began, obviously, in the habit of
stamping gold, silver and bronze
with eff1gies of living rulers. Occa-
sionally, the countenance of a de-
parted dignitary was continued in
association with that of his sue
cessor. The same idea has been
adapted in the designing Of postage
which, from their beginning
with the Penny Black of Great
Britain in 1910, have been, in effect,
coins of paper.
1t was natural, then, that many
admirers of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt should propose both
stamps and coins in homage to
him. The Star as early as April IA
published letter from Leander
Mccormick -Goodhart, a philatelist
and a well-known numismatist, sug-
gesting stamp as a symbol of the
Nations appreciation of its fallen
leader. On May a communication
from Johnnie L. Shanks, urging the
authorization of a commemorative
dime, appeared in the correspond
ence column of this editorial page.
Both plans, it now is understood,
have met with official approval.
Four stamps probably will be issued
in honor of Mr.. Roosevelt. They
are expected to carry his portrait
and views of three OF his homes
the White House, Hyde Park and
Warm Springs. Ample precedent
for such series is to be found in
the postal labels brought out in
tribute to James A. Garfield and
Warren G. Harding following their
respective deaths in 1882 and 1928.
No ten-cent piece ever previously
has borne the profile of a Chief
Executive-the symbolic visage of
Liberty was employed in 1895, when
dimes first were coined, and it has
been retained ever since. But pen
nies in commemoration of Lincoln
were minted in 1909, quarters in
testimonial to Washington in 1892
and nickels in homage to Jefferson
in 1888. A dime in memory of Mr..
Roosevelt, therefore, would be in
line with established tradition.

japanese Resistance


writing on the wall. They must
know that from now on their posi-
tion will grow more and more hope
less and that the longer they fight
on. the worse will be the punishment
inflicted on their homeland. Yet
their resistance shows no sign of
tagging. If anything. as demon
strated on Okinawa. it is becoming
fiiercer than ever-grim, unyielding,
wildly fanatical. a terrible business
of battling to the death. with no
quarter asked and none given.
Our forces first landed on Okinawa
on Easter. almost at the same time
that General Eisenhower sent his
armies laundering across the Rhine.
Since then, all of Germany has been
overrun and forced into uncondi-
tional surrender. but on this small
speck of land in the Far Pacific, on
this key island in the Ryukyus some
325 miles south of Japan proper, our
soldiers and Marines have yet to
finish their bitter job. Most of
Okinawa Is in their hands, but at
the strategic southern end - along
the so-called Naha-Shuri- -Yonabaru
line-they have been held for days
to virtual standstill by an inferno
of artillery and mortar fire and by
the machine guns. hand grenades
and other small arms of troops
determined to die where they are
rather than give ground.
The indications are that the Japa-
nese will not be able to hold this
front much longer. They are being
pounded relentlessly by our naval
guns, our artillery and our planes,
and our tanks and flame-thrower
are slowly but surely blasting and
burning them out of their hillside
caves and out of the old tombs they
are using as pillboxes. Up to now
more than $4,000 of them have been
killed and once their present line is
broken. their estimated remaining
force Of $4,000 will probably be
speedily overcome and the whole
island will be ours. Meanwhile, how
ever. they are selling themselves
very dearly, our Army and Marine
casualties up to last Monday totaling
3,781 killed. 17,004 wounded and 1855
missing. In addition, owing in no
small measure to attacks by Japa-
nese suicide planes, our supporting
naval forces have lost 900 killed,
2,746 wounded and LOTS missing.
In this savage battle, the japanese
are being liquidated at the rate of
more than 1000 daily-twelve dying
for every American who dies. But
though the margin is thus greatly
in our favor. the price being paid
for Okinawa is none the less high,
especially when we consider the
hopelessness of the enemy's position
and the overwhelming superiority of
our fire power. When the Rhine was
crossed, our armies met nothing
comparable to this. Hirohito's troops,
indoctrinated as they are with the
idea that to die in battle is to join
the warrior gods. are a uniquely
dangerous breed of fighters. The
bloody operations at Naha and
Shuri should sober any one who has
wishful or overoptimistic thoughts
about the struggle ahead in the
Pacific,
