Park. The White House chauffeur let
her off outside the mems entrance.
The aged attendant knew the Presi-
dents wife, but he knew the club rules
better.
The ladies' entrance Is around the
corner, Mrs. Roosevelt" he said and
closed the door.
Her Devotion
Mrs. Roosevelts controversial utter
ances and constant travel-she used to
describe these gruelling tours to her
exhausted companion, Mrs. Henry Nor
genthau, jr, as grand vacations
tended to obscure from the public eye
the tenderness she displayed every day
in the White House. Devoted to her
family, she dropped everything when
they were in trouble. Dashing to the
side of Franklin D. Roosevelt III, and
his wife, the former Ethel Dupont
Roosevelt, after their serious automobile
rupted press conference at the White
House to go hold Franklin's hand as
stitches were removed from his head in
a nearby bedroom.
When her secretary of many years
service had appendicitis, Mrs. Roose-
welt Cancelled all engagements to stay
with her and answered her mail. She
replied to many of the 100000 letters
year sent to her and often gave money
or got information for the writer's.
Dropping into a Washington alley to
attend Christmas eve party given by
a religious charity, Mrs. Roosevelt no
ticed one child in particularly thread
bare coat She ordered the White House
car to stop at the corner and got the
child's name from the policeman on the
beat. The next day the limousine drove
again into the alley and the chauffeur
stepped out with warm coat over his
arm.
Off the Record
The women of the press came to feel
for her a regard that blinded some Of
them to the news aspects Of her re-
marks. Sometimes they interrupted
particularly startling statement with
the query, do you want that on the
record?" While more recent newshawks
squirmed, Mrs. Roosevelt put it of the
record
The woman reporters worried about
her health when she was tossed from
her horse in Rock Crek Park and when
she lost IS pounds touring the South
Pacific. She in turn displayed not only
fair play but an understanding of the
mechanics Of their profession. When
a reporter slipped early from confer
ence room with the announcement that
the White House would serve beer at a
postrepeal reception, Mrs. Roosevelt
sent wire service reporters to tele-
phones In the White House bedrooms 50

She herself has refused to recognize
that she might not be as other women
are. She ignored a request that statue
of her be placed in niche dedicated
to famous persons, because can't see

manpower Is not critical problem,
since all the Jap dead. prisoners and
troops isolated at island posts from the
main islands to Australia represent only
about one-fourth of the annual male
birth rate. How futile have been the
Jap attempts to compete with us in
naval building was shown in the recent
battles in the Philippines and in Japa-
nese home waters which should be the
exclusive province of its own navy but
isn't The land fighting has not shown
it yet because of the mountain and
jungle terrain which the route to Tokyo
has followed, but even the Kwangtung
army has nothing In heavy artillery to
compare with what we are now using in
production lines.
The Final Phase
In the air, our superiority already
definitely established, is growing daily.
When the Japs lost more than 300
planes in one day at Wewak, New
Guinea, two years ago, they were able
to replace them the next. Despite SIM
liar heavy losses in succeeding days.
they were nevertheless able to keep
their line of battle up to strength from
replacement pools kept at a high level.
The strikes at factories in the Jap
homeland. however, already have made
a noticeable dent in aircraft production.
and it is not expected to be long be-
fore flights of Super Fortresses can
operate with little opposition from Jap
fighters and have only fax to contend
with, as they do now in Germany. That
will mark completion of the final phase
of preparation for the landing on the
Japanese mainland.

change in plans for the invasion of
the Philippines.
Admiral Halsey said his forces
were steaming off the coast of the
Philippines with practically no op-
position.
I'VE were knocking down JAP
anese planes right and left. One
American pilot was shot down. The
guerillaS took care of him and the
next day we sent in and got him.
He gave us information which led
me to believe the time was ripe to
go in"
That occurred on September 13
he said, and he reported his recon-
mendations to Admiral Nimitz and
Gen. Macarthur.
Admiral Nimitz and Gen. Mac
Arthur picked up the ball and ran
with it," he said, shifting their
plans to permit the landing on
Leyte on October 20.
Have Learned Lot Since Tarawa.
Admiral Halsey predicted that the
landing on Two Jima, begun to-
day, would not be as tough as the
amphibious assault on Tarawa.
I'VE have learned lot since that
time," he said.
He said Two Jima will be of tre-
mendous strategic value, affording
Ia base from which to bomb the
japanese homeland with medium
bombers with fighter cover.
The island, which now has two
alrflelds, can accommodate three,
he said, and ..if necessary the Sea-

bees will build another island and
put four or five on it."
Admiral Halsey said he is one of
the few people who believe the Jap
anese will break" eventually. As
serting that Japanese industrialists
see their empire getting into a posi-
ton to crumble, he added:
"A dollar means as much to them
as any one. When they get the
upper hand of the beasts in charge
of the army they will put out peace
feelers; that will be our most dan
gerous threat until peace is actually
declared.
eff we allow negotiated peace
now and do not demand absolute
and unconditional surrender, ii
would be the greatest crime in the
history Of the country.
'"The press can do more to help
that than any one, to persuade the
mothers and fathers of America
that such a move would be sentenc-
ing their grandsons to DEATH"
Asked whether the japanese would
plan another war even though un-
conditional surrender were exacted
Admiral Halsey replied:
mot If we are smart"
"It behooves us to make plans for
the future and enforce them to be
sure they will not start another"
The admiral cautioned that we
better had keep our fleet, regardless
of what happens in world league. y
He said the quality of Japanese
pilots is "deteriorating all the time"
and that while the enemy has had
some new-type planes recently, I'VE
shoot them down just the same as
the others.
They burn just as nicely"
Admiral Halsey said the Japanese
their control of the seas lost, will at
tempt to establish land routes to
their southern conquests.
But, he added, it is "a case OF
heads we win and tails they lose.''
He declared enemy garrisons along
the China coast ARE like all other
rats. When we want to we can dig
them out any time"
He said he knew Of no plans for
taking care of the by-passed jap
anese garrisons in South Pacific
islands except to let them alone To
starve slowly and painfully"

Pounded for more than 70 days
by American bombers, Two lay on
the horizon like battered but en-
ragged beast in its death throes as
this flagship of Vice Admiral Rich
mond Kelly Turner crept near its
shores at the head of a mighty col
umn of transports.

Of Suribachi Yama spat fire. Red
tracer shells from our bombardment
craft also were visible against the

A lethal barfage from Lei gunboats
shrouded the beach area. A heavy
carrier-borne strike following a
dawn attack by Army Liberators
made the dragon island thud and
shudder.
At o am. the marines stormed the
beach.
In two minutes all of the first
waves were ashore, meeting only
slight resistance until the Japa-
|nese reorganized to place artillery
fire on the 3,000-yard-long beach

You saw one of the old World
War battlewagons slam the dragon

you could see the tanks inching
their way up the precipitous grades,
belching red burning blurbs from
their flame throwers.
"The bombing and naval gunfire
excellently cleaned out the heavier
installations" Admiral Turner said,
but by no means all Of them. The
overall progress is satisfactory"
The admiral told this correspond
ent shortly before 2 pm. that most
of the antiaircraft guns seemed to
have been wiped out.

to Tokyo, it was doubtful the elusive
Japanese fleet would venture within
range. Bombers flying from the
mainland were the sole immediate
threat.
Two is formed by two VOLCANOES,
Suribachi Yana in the southwest
part and Moto Yama on the north
west end. These are connected by a
narrow neck of lowland. Suribachi
is extinct and offered tough defen-
sive positions. Moto Yama still
emits steam and sulphur vapors.
Two Operative Airfields.
Two has two operative airfields
under construction. The main field
is toward the southern end. 1t has
three runways in triangle pattern,
the longest able to accommodate
heavy bombers.
There is no large or protected an
chorage. Ships anchor offshore and
unload by lighters.
The 1943 population of Two was
1,091 persons-all japanese. Thus
the Marines for the first time in
the war were on hostile land. Guer-
rillas, or at least neutral natives,
have populated all previous areas
invaded by the yanks.
Immediately north of Two are the
Bonin Islands, including Chichi
Jima and Haha Jima, 100 and 100
miles, respectively, from Two. Haha
has an excellent anchorage. Chichi
Is an important airbase.
American bombers have hit these
islands many times, and carrier
planes in support of the three-day
shelling of Two few into the Bonins
and sank 16 japanese ships.

saving hints should be of help to
you.
In summer especially serve fresh
fruits literally in place of heavy
desserts that call for sugar. A fruit
salad topped by dressing mixed
with fruit juice does double duty as
a refreshing salad and dessert.
Sirup from canned fruit should be
saved to sweeten other fruit, sauces
or beverages.
Be sure all sugar is completely dis
solved to get its full sweetness. A
sugar sirup goes farther than plain
sugar in sweetening iced tea or
fruit punch. To prepare sugar sirup,
heat equal parts sugar and water un-
til sugar is completely dissolved.
Keep leftover sirup tightly covered
in the refrigerator. Corn sirup may
also be used to sweeten summer
drinks. Try some iced beverages
without sugar.
Cook cereals with prunes, raisins
or dates, and serve without sugar.
Use fewer or no frostings on cakes.
Don't frost the sides.
Serve sweet yeast breads, such as
cinnamon rolls, and sweet quick
breads occasionally, instead Of more
sugar-consuming cakes and pies.
Desserts may be made that use
honey, molasses, sorghum, corn or
other sirups when these are avail
able.
Sugar in baked goods may be
stretched with honey, molasses, corn
or other sirups. Honey may replace
sugar cup for cup, but use half the
quantity of other liquid called for
in original recipe-and keep baking
temperature moderate. Corn, cane or
maple sirups can replace sugar
measure for measure. Reduce liquid
by one-third.
Farm women have played an inn
portant part in bringing to close
the war in Europe.
We would like to pay tribute to
the farm women and girls who have
done their best or the farm front.
However, we must not think for one
moment that we can take it easy.
AS matter of fact we must re-
solve today, right now, that we will
work harder than ever before be-
cause the food situation is more
critical this year than any time since
the war began
We realize that some farm women,
just like others, will think that they
can coast through the rest Of the
war. Our boys and girls fighting in
the Pacific certainly don't think they
can let up-not for one minute.
Neither can we.
We must produce and conserve
everything we possibly can. We need
more food than ever before. We can
not afford to let our millions OF
friends in European countries down.

tinue to live in freedom, are now
