Craige U.S. Marine Corps, Retired Harmony, of operations by land, sea and air forces in the Philippine theater of war furnishes a brilliant illustration of what can be done when even small forces work together in perfect co-operation. Gen. MacArthur is the supreme boss there' and his land forces, planes and small fleet respond instantly and unquestioningly to his commands. Combined action by sea, and air forces in the Philippine campaign has been brilliant from, the beginning and show what can be done under the present system when army and navy chiefs serving in unison are determined to co-operate to the best of their abilities for the common good and without regard to red tape.

The foundation was laid months before the outbreak of hostilities, when General MacArthur and Admiral Hart, naval and military commanders in Manila, got to -gether and worked out plans as to what should be done by the forces under them, should war come. Every possibility of enemy action was anticipated and provided for in advance. Relations between MacArthur and Hart are reported to have been close and friendly. They anticipated what must come and stood together on the alert for it. Had such conditions existed at Hawaii, the Pearl Harbor stab in the back attack would have been a Japanese defeat, not an American disaster.

First result of this co-operation was that Admiral Hart's headquarters at Cavite were kept constantly informed as to what was going on ashore and in the air. This enabled him to perform a maximum service to MacArthur's land forces in harrying Japanese troop convoys with submarine and cruiser action. When conditions ashore were becoming impossible and the abandonment of Manila was foreseen, Admiral Hart was informed in time so that all of the larger units of the American fleet based on Manila bay could slip away to Dutch and British ports, apparently without the loss of a single ship. Left behind was a squadron fleet of motor torpedo boats, a number of tugs, and small transport vessels. They -were just the sort of craft MacArthur needed to aid his land forces in the defense of Bataan and Corregidor.

Good Records Since the withdrawal to Bataan, these small naval vessels have Duce, irate at Britain's spoiling his game, confounded by the collapse of France, and blinded by Hitler's promise of an immediate invasion of Britain, blundered into war. When Mussolini made his fatal decision, the damage had already been done. The stores of food ana clothing were already disastrously deDleted. While he organized his "air armada" to participate in the bombing of Britain and prepared a force of 200.000 men to join the Nazis in the invasion of the British Isles. Germans, by the thousands, descended like vultures upon the peninsula.

They bought up everything at premium prices. The fearful Italians had no choice but to sell the profits, besides, were considerable. The disaster was thus completed. Completely drunk with Nazi propaganda that the end of the war and victory were just around the corner, not one Fascist worried about the impending crisis at home. Their job was to eaten dealers xchri clandestinely tried to disDOse of their wares at a- profit under cover of darkness.

Pinch" Racket Thev onerated from reeional Fascist headquarters on one-night shuts so tnat eventuauy every party member participated. The hierarchy, being fewer in number, got more than one lick. They were plenty glad to. Here's why: When a "pinch" was made, the food, clothing, coal, or oil "bootlegger" was taken to Fascist headquarters with the goods in his possession. First offenders were fined and released.

Habitues were detained over night for next morning. In either case in every case the evidence, whatever it might be didn't matter, disappeared pronto. The so-called violators never saw it again. The Fascists did. At the end of each night's operations, the loot was divided among all those on duty.

It was divided gangster fashion. The official in charge got the biggest cut. Everyone got something. The poorer Fascists turned right around and sold their shares, often to the very man who had been the original purchaser. Under the circumstances, provided he had the money, it took little arguing on the part of Fascist hoodlums to convince him of the advisability of effecting a repurchase.

The shadows of beatings, fines and jail sentences lurked ominously in the background. Empty Italy This routine is undoubtedly still operative in Italy today. It best explains the miserable plight of the rank and file of Italians, as I witnessed it before America's entry into the war. Italy's warehouses are empty. The shelves of retail shops are empty too.

The exodus of Italian commodities began long before Mussolini even dreamed he would have to enter war when he did. It began during the months of Italy's 'non-belligerency" and at II Duce's orders. Then, the aging Fascist dictator dreamed that Britain and France on the one hand and Germany on the other would bleed to near-death in a long war to leave him and his modest war machine masters of Europe's fate. In those days his favorite remark was: "Rome will make the Deace Count Ciano, II Duce's son-in-law and foreign minister, told me then tnat "Italy wanted to see Germany win, of course, but that she wanted Germany, though victorious, so weakened that Italy would emerge as the first military power in Pm-nni The combined strength of Britain and France, Ciano explained, was more than a match for Hitler's tremendous war machine. And there was the Maginot line too.

Ciano doubted the Germans' ability to break through it. Bundles For Hitler To further his own designs, to mase Germany a "match" for and France, Mussolini decided on all aid to Hitler short of war. Hitler didn't want Italian weapons. He wanted food, and clothing, and gasoline. That is what II Duce contracted to send him.

Initially, Mussolini's machine thrived in 'its new role. Its business with the rest of the world skyrocketed to new levels. Profits began to roll in. Fascists whose foresight didn't extend beyond the Brenner Pass, began to see Italy emerging as the wealthiest nation of Continental Europe. The British blockade soon drove this rosy picture from the Fascist horizon.

As one Italian ship after another, laden with goods destined for German consumption, was held by English officials, Mussolini, to keep deliveries on schedule, began to dig. into scant national reserves and send them up north. Italians began to tighten their belts some six months before II be forced to get rationing certificates to buy radios, refrigerators, washing machines and possibly vacum cleaners long before the war is over. Only last Saturday, the new war production board ordered cuts in radio production ranging from 33 to 45 per cent. But that is only the first slice.

Before the end of the year, radio output will be shut off gradually but completely except for a few replacement sets and part for repairs of present sets. Radios require many scarce materials such as aluminum, copper, nickel and steel. In addition, facilities of the industry, which normally does a business, are ideally suited for manu-f arture of signal and communication equipment needed by the armed forces. The factory which once made small portables now will be making "walkie talkies' for parachute troops tiny portable "twoway" sets which can both send and receive. In place of civilian production, the WPB probably will pour about worth of orders a year into the radio field for army and navy equipment.

Tills will mean some expansion of existing plants and conversion of some Idle auto plants to manufacture of radio parts. Mechanical refrigerator production already ha been slashed 30 to 52 per cent. Bigger cuts are ahead. In the near future, all production needed for necessary civilian replacement and for the army and navy may be shifted to small plants and the big plants in the Industry converted to was work. Use of steel for ice refrigerators has been cut 40 per cent, and will be cut more.

Vacuum cleaner, washing machine and stove production have been cut in varying percentaages up to 40 per cent, and here, too, larger cuts are in store. Many Men War production officials do not like to think of rationing because of the tremendous administrative difficulties involved. It would require thousands of workers to set up local rationing boards throughout the country. Persons on local tire rationing boards are now serving without pay, but paid organizations will have to be set up if the list of rationed products assumes formidable sie. The officials say, however, that rationing Is In the future cards for such durable goods as radios, refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and stoves.

On non-essential Items such as electric toasters and electric coffee pots no attempts will be made to ration. It will be first come, first served, so long as. supplies hold out. On the necessary Items like radios and refrigerators, WPB officials, while not shouting it from the rooftops, are telling large department stores thaat they may as well get set for rationing. Under present plans a person needing a new refrigerator would have to file an application with a local rationing board, and then prove his old machine is worn out and can't be repaired.

If he obtains a certificate, he can take it to a store and buy the refrigerator. A threatened power shortage also may become a factor, WPB experts say. If power becomes scarce in some areas, sales on new electrical appliances may be banned in those districts along with rationing cf power. In such cases, the old law of supply and demand must readjust the situation since there would be no demand for electrical appliances in areas where It is hard or Impossible to get power to run them. WPB officials have not yet tackle the problem of possible rationing cf radio tubes but it is likely, if stocks begin to dwindle, that owners will "be forced to turn in old tubes before they can buy new ones.

The number of tubes in radio sets to be made in the future before the shutdown comes has already been ordered cut. The armed forces get first call cf most equipment. For instances, army camps will get washing machines while the housewife might do without. Ultimately, the tizc cf Fascists Feast While Rest Of Italians Starve Bureaucracy, War Drain Italy Of Food WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (INS) Daring the past year I have seen Fascist officials feast while other Italians virtually starved.

I saw Fascist officials make use of their status to buy up food, and Nothing and other necessities while Italy's rank and file formed bread lines, waiting, in many cases to vain, for hours. I saw, time and again, -women and children faint on the streets from hunger. 1 saw them "treated and "cured" in first-aid medical stations by this simple medicinal potion: a bowl of hot soup and a piece of bread. None of these observations could be cabled by correspondents from Italy because of censorship. Fascist Kevelry The banqueting of Fascist officials was not confined to the occasions when they had to wine and dine their Nazi masters, though this happened often enough.

It was, instead. an almost daily practice in city, town and hamlet. The spirit with which big-time and small-time Fascists alike revelled while misery gnawed at the stomachs of millions of Italian men, women and children reminded me of Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned. Before anyone in Italy had even realized what rationing would mean, the black-garbed party men had dug deeply into the nation's stores of food and clothing, and coal to fill their own cellars, despite the anti-hoarding laws. Their method was unique: Top-flight officials brazenly pur chased all they wanted with their ample funds.

The lesser fry requisitioned or confiscated from unlucky non-Fascists who tried to cope with the flight of food and and other commodities by attempt ing to do a little stocking up on their own.

They replied that Is is now the patriotic tiling to repair present equipment instead of rushing out and buying new products. In addition, they added that in buying what you don't need you may deprive your neighbor of bomcihing he may need later.

Thriiy-FourMen Live In Lifeboat Harrowing Talc Told Of Sinking SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27 (INS) The Saga of 34 men adrift in a 20-foot lifeboat with small supply of water and food to kcrp them alive for nine days was told in San Francisco today by Leonard De Ueus, radio operator on the Matson freighter Lahalna, shelled and sunk near the Hawaiian inlands December 11. De Oeus, member of a prominent Santa Rosa, family, paid that four of his crewmates perished in the open boat, and harrowing details of the grim experience were confirmed by excerpts from log kept by one of the crew. Forced to abandon the Lahalna while Japanese sailors boarded It to demolish it, the crew deriftcd nearby and then went back aboard after the Japs left to try to find food before the ship went down. "We found a pound of butter, five loaves of bread, eome apples, 25 pounds of carrots, one case of biscuits and fen gallons ot water," De Oeus said.

"We also managed to salvage 15 blankets and a lew pieces of extra clothing." Food was rationed out sparingly and for the first few days all went well. Then bad weather ret in, the boat was nearly swamped and one man became go deranged that his mates had to lash him to the floor. He died December 18. Two men became unmanageable and it was found necessary to e-cure them. The log spoke several times of violent attacks which the men made on each other, At 8 o'clock on the night of December 20, two men Jumped overboard, with land in sight, and drowned Immediately, while at lha same time another died from exhaustion and shock.

After the all-sophomore Millsaps Majors put on a brief show of resistance, they fell under the overwhelming attack of Coach Melvin Landrum's Mississippi College Choctaws to lose their first home game of the 1942 season 45 to 20 in Jackson Tuesday night. It was veteran Lefty Fulton who hobbled into the fray to turn the early skirmish into a rout for the invaders. When the nemesis of Mill-saps' athletic hopes took the floor the count was 7 all. It didn't take the Choctaw star long to score his two baskets and put the Tribesmen ahead.

They held that lead the rest of the night, outclassing Coach B. O. Van Hook's green hands. Lindsley was the high scorer for the Choctaws, but he made only two field baskets. The rest of his 10 points came from free throw.

Capehart was the best marksman from the floor, sinking four field goals for the Tribesmen. Charley Tom Jones did almost as well, counting three times off the hardwood. For the vanquished, Captain Tommy Jones missed both his opportunities to count on free throws, hut played so well that he took the spotlight from Lightnin' Low-ther and John "Legs" McLaurin who led the scoring for the vanquished. Both teams were missing plenty of open shots and dropping opportunities to score on free throws. The Redskins got more opportunities and didn't miss as many as the Militants.

(INS) The British radio said today in a broadcast that Malta, British Mediterranean stronghold "had six more alerts yesterday, but the island defenses were so effective in holding off the raiders that no bombs were (Most heavily bombed terri tory of the world, Malta has had as many as 15 air raids in 24 hours.) made a brilliant record. Working as a team with MacArthur's small air force and the guns of Corregidor fortifications, they have kept the entrance to Manila Bay sealed tight to Japanese shipping.

This in addition to their astonishing raids against Japan's transports in Subic Bay. The importance of the Subic Bay raids to MacArthur's Bataan army can hardly be exaggerated. On that bay is Olongapo, former second American base in the Philippines, and from Olongapo the Japanese campaign against MacArthur's left flank, the dan -gerous supply ship was sunk by Lieutenant John D. Bulkely, and yesterday, Ensign George Cox, another naval commander of a motor torpedo boat, sank a troop ship. This is the kind of dashing raid-warfare for which the navy's motorscooters were design ed, since these craft travel at 50 miles an hour and carry four dead ly torpedoes, their attacks are difficult to parry.

(The war department announced today that two motor toroedo boat had fought off a flight of Japanese cuve combers.) The effect on Japanese nerves of a squadron of these deadly mosquitoes of the sea would be worth a division of trooos to Bataan' defense. Meantime, General MacArthur celebrated his sixtv-second birth day with a surprise attack agamst the Japanese left flank, which relieved pressure on his own endangered line on Bataan's west coast. From Washington, President Roosevelt sent him a message expressing; conzratula- tions and America's thanks. Not the least surorisine thine about MacArthur is his ability to stand up under the strain of the 42-day Philippine war. There are not many men of sixty-two who would he fuilhof fight and vigror after a month and a half of tronical war fare in the heat-sodden malaria-infested Philippine jungles and hills.

New AEF Sets Up Headquarters Force Thought To Be Only the Beginning AEF HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH IRELAND, Jan. 27 (INS) A general U. S. army headquarters has been established "somewhere in England" under the general command of Major General James E. Chaney, it was an-nounced tonight as evidence grew that the several thousand Yanks in the first contingents are only the beginning of a huge American Expeditionary Force.

One of the first steps taken by the new arrivals was to begin an investigation of the "leak" in plans to land the first AEF at a northern Ireland port. Although it was supposed to be a deep secret, it appeared that a goodly number of residents knew and had known for a week that American troops were to arrive within a few days. When it was indicated that future plans called for many more American forces to take stations in the British Isles, authorities considered that, plugging of information leaks was an important first step. General Chaney, the American commander-in-chief, is 58 'years old. He is a Marylander and was graduated from West Point in 1908.

He is an Air Corps man, but has also had long service in the infantry. His chief of staff at the British Isle headquarters will be Brigadier General Charles L. Bolte. The troops who arrived yesterday in North Ireland were in command of Major General Russell F. Hartle.

The Yank arrivals were regaining their land legs today, ana becoming acclimated after their first night on British soil. Reserve Fund Set Up for After War Steel Company's Earnings Off NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (INS) The U. S. Steel today in reporting sharply decreased earnings for the last quarter of 1941 disclosed that a large special reserve fund Is being set up to meet after war adjustments.

Earnings, in the fourth quarter were $20,331,427, equal to $1.61 a common share after all charges and taxes. This compares with $32,793,212, or $3.04 a common share in the fourth quarter of 1940 and or $3.21 a share earned in the third quarter of 1941. A dividend of $1 was voted on the common stock, the same as payable In the four quarters of 1941. The dividend is payable Feb. 20 to holders of record Jan.

30. A special reserve fund of was set aside out of last year's earnings to meet the after war problems and tne corporation's transition from a year to a peace time basis. In the final quarter $11,500,000 was set aside for this fund, and was a major factor in the smaller fourth quarter earnings.
