Hq. 41st Division, the Phi ippines There is no reconnaissance tloor in the Pacific more audacious III it's accomplishments than that of the famed 41st Infantry 1ivision.
 In their latest daring coup a group of but ten of the troopers went on patrol, attacked ard rout- eG company of more than 150 Japs. One of the listers partici- pating was Pfc. Louis Lango, g Webb street, Waterbury.
 During the Zamboanga pt ninsula campaign, the ten men probed around the flank of the enemy forces and infiltrated thelr rear. Creeping through heavy jungle foli- age they flushed the ovel Whelm- ing number of Japs cooking dinner in a ravine. The "Jun9leers famed out and opened ul with tommy guns, employing the old Indian scout trick of firing a brief burst, then hopping a few yards and squirting out another. rhsse tac- tics deceived the Nips into believ- ing they were being attacked by Tanks in force and they fed pell- mell.
 The listers exacted at feast 20 casualties and suffered not a scratch themselves. Further, they effectively purged the area of Japs, for when the other elements of the division moved in they found the region deserted.
 Three more Waterbury airmen were freed from Moosburg prison camp according to dispatch from Buckley Griffin in The Hartford Times. They are:
 It. Francis A. Petrillo, son of MT. and Mrs. Anthony V. PetrilIo, 48 Morningside avenue, who was shot down over, SchWeinfurt, Germany, August r, 1943. He was taken pris- oner the next day. The officer was former employe of the Waterbury Tool, division of Vickers.

The hotel men are providing
$500 of the total amount TO be
spent while the Board of Com
merce will put up the remaining
similar sum, A. ID. Brewer, ex-
ecutive secretary of the civic or
ganization said.
According TO the plans adopt
ed by B of c officers $4,000 of

Washington officials hailed
news of the Anglo-American-

soon against Japan.
Acting Secretary of State Jo-

Senator Ferguson (R-Mich.)

Munitions
Production
to Stoy High

DETROIT, April 81 R =
American industry will have a
huge munitions production job
after We day, according to Car
stem Tiedeman, regional direc-
tor of the War Production
Board.
by the standards of any ma
ton in the world other than the
United States" he said, "muni-
tons scheduled for production
after the defeat of Germany
would be impossible to attain.
And even by American stand
ards they constitute a hard job"
He said that munitions pro-
duction in the six months fol-
lowing We day - assuming il
occurs around June 3O-"will
run at an annual rate of $32,-
600, 100000, or thirds again
as much as in 1912. This is al
most equal to the rate of 1913
and is better than four-fifths
the rate of our peak production
of last year"
After the defeat of Germany
Tiedeman said, the job will be
to see that the high rate of war
production still is maintained
while civilian production is
gradually resumed. 1T is a
problem of de-controls," he said
a problem in seeing that the
civilian side of the economy does
not run away with the manpow-
er, materials, machinery and
management necessary to meet
munitions schedules"
'The point is" Tiedeman
went on, that there are enough
materials and capacity being
freed to permit some expansion
in civilian output. At the same
time, the need for war produc-
ton cannot be taken for grant
ed.
Similarly in manpower. AT
present tn ere are 100000
workers in munitions plants.
Perhaps some 100000 workers
will be released in the first
q arter after We day. But these
workers can easily be absorbed
by service industries, transpor-
tation, textiles and so forth, as
we'll as by industries starting
on civilian manufactures.
Here again the problem will
be to keep sufficient munitions
workers on the job, and not to
assume that munitions will be
made as matter of course"

Edna Ferber has given the
reading public a great deal OF
pleasure. She will be long re-
membered for "Showboat," but
il her reputation depended upon
her new novel, Great Son"
doubleday Doran: $3.50, she
would be shortly forgotten to-
gether with the many authors OF
mediocre novels who file into
oblivion each publishing season.
To put best things first, she
has dished up some interesting
history, and manages to convey
her enthusiasm for the romantic
background of Seattle, and its
growth from a fishing town to a
port of embarkation for the
Alaska Gold Rush. The book is
called "a novel of character.
The plural would have been
more accurate, and her many
characters are stock stuff, and
stuffed with sawdust. The saw
dust may be the by-product OF
the lumber mills which helped
build the fortune of the Mel
enjoys, the several-generation,
utterly too-too fabulous family
which once owned half of Seattle
but even that essence of the Fer
ber-adopted Northwest fails to
give them breath of life. Not
even a pine-scented one.
Madame Exact Melendy is a
quaint old IN triarch who
smokes a pipe and Grossly de-
mands her daily snort of, rye.
Son Vaughan is a six-foot young
alto ex-Klondiker, his daugh-
ter-in-law Lima is the familiar
stage happy, vain, shallow, sell
fish number, and her son Mike is
bouncing, bright-eyed Jack
Armstrong who naturally be-
comes a pilot following a scene
we seem to have read some
where before: The family is sit
ting around the radio, when
comes news of the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
Again, the historical inter-
ludes are good. The scenes from
the Gold Rush are worth read
ing, as is the adventure of the
Mercer Girls, young women of
New England who h ipp d
around the Horn to Seattle as
wives for the young settlers.
More of this material would
have made Great Son" a better
book.
