In the Senate a strange team
was largely responsible for lnser
ton of an amendment which would
knock price control into the middle
of the ocean. This was the team
of Taft and Thomas.
On one hand was the wealthy
conservative Ohio lawyer, Senator
Robert Taft, son of the President
of the same name. On the other
hand was Elmer Thomas Of Medl
cine Park Oklahoma, who for
years has been trying to reedlc
a little initiation into our economic
system. In 1888 Thomas wanted to
start the printing presses turning
out greenbacks.
Both men from different angles
tried to pry off the price lid. Their
efforts softened up the Senate. ,Ano
when the softening up process was
completed Senator Kenneth Wher.
ry of Nebraska came TO bat and
put over a farm amendment which
according to Administrator Chest
er Bowles would make it impos
sible to hold any sort OF price line
In the course of the debate Sen
ator W. Scot Lucas. of Illinois,
pointed to high prices that farm
ers have been receiving for their
crops during the past five years
He said that as a landowner he had
made more money from his farm
in Illinois than during any other
five-year period.
Ed O'Neal himself boss OF the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, most powerful single farm
group, endorsed renewal Of price
control to prevent disastrous in
flation." O'Neal remembers the
slump Of the '20s and the wave OF
farm foreclosures that followed.

before the landing. So they ranged
far inland, until they found troop
concentrations, trucks, ammunition
dumps and storehouses which they
literally blew to pieces.
Foe Caught by Surprise.
The absence of Jap opposition to
our landings was due to the steady
pounding of strategic targets by
Admiral William F. Halsey's fast
carriers. by our own force and by
Army aircraft prior to the invasion.
Railroads. highways, bridges, troop
concentrations, barracks and trucks
moving reinforcements from Jap
headquarters at Baguio were given
such going over by planes from
all our carriers that the Japs, caught
by surprise when we finally landed
in the gulf, were unable to reorient
themselves quickly and effectively.
The eve pilots and air crewmen
thus earned for themselves a great
share of credit for the secure foot
hold our troops gained when they
rolled ashore-and for the safety
with which they did so.
We completed our mission and
received well done" from Vice
Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, COM
mander of the 7th Fleet. Now we
are resting for even bigger jobs.
The Bismarck Sea came through
without the loss of single man OF

ships were as fortunate. But it was

1t. Comdr. j. L. Whitley" Mehlig,
U. S. NJ, as air officer kept the
planes launching and landing on
time, and doing their work effec-
lively over the beach and over the
ships.
The day of the landing was a
tense one aboard ship. We gath
cred about radios to hear the re-
ports of observers as they took the
air before the invasion.
They told us when the landing
craft started for shore, described
their progress under cover of naval
gunfire up to the beach, and-un-
believable as it was--assured us
that our landing forces went into
Luzon standing up. 1t was amaz-
ing for If stubborn Jap resistance
was to be expected anywhere it was
on Luzon. The first wave hit the
beach at 0937 and from then on it
went like clockwork. Wave after
wave poured in.
No Japs in Evidence.
We followed that first days
progress ashore through the eyes
of aerial observers and our own
pilots. Within four hours after the
landing two of our DUKWs were
seen taking off down road 10
miles inland. Three of our ALI
gators attracted a crowd of Fill
pino civilians-but no Japs.
Evidence of Filipino welcome to
the liberating Americans was every
where to be seen. Pilots reported
that American flags, carefully
treasured during three years of Jap
oppression, were being broken out
IN the streets of one town. At San
Carlos hundreds of civilians gath
cred in the town square and
marched out to meet the advancing
troops. At another town pilots saw
panels laid out on the ground to
read mo Japs here-please drop
guns"
That day strike after strike took
off from the carriers, securing the
countryside for the Jap, but he
made himself hard to find. Pilots
complained that they had no targets
for their bombs. What few there
