Page 6 rmt TO CHANGS ASS AG I SAN BERNARDINO Editor Demands Foreign Powers Quit New World Also Believes U. S. Should Go Easy on Postwar Agreement CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 22 (TP) Col. Robert R.

McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, said today that European governments should be forced to liquidate their holdings in the western hemisphere and the United States should enter no postwar agreements beyond those necessary to Insure its own security. "We should make such arrangements as will provide for our security," McCormick told a luncheon meeting of the city club. "After that is taken care of, we may do what we can for the general welfare of the world. FOR LIQUIDATION "As one means to that end, I think all European govenments should be required to liquidate their holdings in this hemisphere," he said. The Chicago publisher warned! against the United States joining any pacts guaranteeing the territory of any nation where it might be left holding the bag.

if other parties to the pact withdrew. "We became one of the parties to the nine-power agreement to protect the integrity of China. When our state department wished lo act in accordance with that agreement and stop the Japanese aggression, all other parties, including the British empire, refused to keep their agreements," he said. McCormick said that nothing could be more fatal to the nation "than some grandiose scheme of world government" Between World war I and II, he said, there were 40 minor wars. ONE INTERFERENCE "We only interfered in one, the Spanish revolution, where our state department followed Great Britain in siding with the Fascist rebel, (Gen.

Francisco) Franco, while a good many American individuals fought for the Spanish Communist government," he said. "Shoud we have interfered in the Irish revolution?" McCormick asked. "If so, on which side? If the revolution be rekindled, shall we interfere? And if so, which side shall we take? "We did not interfere in the revolutions in Mexico and Cuba. If they break out again do we want British, Russia, and Chinese armies occupying those countries? For my part, I stand on the Monroe Doctrine no European or Asiatic interference in America," he said. Nancy de Marigny's Household Goods Sold NASSAU, Bahamas, Jan.

DAILY SUN By ROBERT VERMILLION ABOARD A BOMBER ABOVE THE ALLIED LANDING FORCES IN ITALY, 1 p.m., Jan.

22 (IP) We are flying inland and dorfights are raging all around us. Above and below in the sky ahead of us our fighters are tangling with the enemy. (Vermillion's dispatch was the first indication that the German air force had started to offer serious opposition to the landing forces. Earlier, allied pilots saw scarcely any German planes in the sky). Our gunners are calling on fighters at "all o'clock" and standing behind the co-pilot in this plane I can see what appears to be air battles on both sides of us.

PLANES ROCKET DOWN Three or four miles inland five planes rocketed down and passed under our nose. Three of them were chasing the other two and the dogfight swept below us and on out to sea. Eight Messerschmitts dived below us and our gunners frantically began calling their positions. Far off to the left sprawls Rome, with its farthest precinct disappearing in the haze to the north. Flak catches us as we start our bomb run.

"As we turn off the bomb run our bombardier, Lt Donald McCormick of Brookfield, 111., yells over the interphone: GIVE FIRST AID "We got 'em." A minute later McCormick crawls past me and goes to the tail of the plane. Lt Robert Olson of Waterloo, Iowa, beckons to me and yells close to my ear: "Our tail gunner was hit" I take off my bulky parachute and crawl back over the bomb bay to the tail of the ship where McCormick and Radio Gunner Sgt. Rocco Lotito of Brooklyn, N. were bending over the tail gunner. Across the shoulders of McCormick and Lotito I can see the tail gunner's position.

The fuselage and glass windows of the tail are spattered with blood and it is spreading thickly across the deck. McCormick points to the first aid box at my, feet and yells: "Any more morphine in there?" I search the box and hand him a tube. Lotito takes it from Mc By DON WHITEHEAD WITH AMPHIBIOUS FORCE IN ITALY, Jan. 22 UP We walked in behind the German lines with hardly a shot being fired in a most sensational amphibious operation. It was so easy and simply done and caught the Germans so completely by surprise that as I write lic auction, and reliable landing Americans troops are literally standing with their mouths open and shaking their heads in utter amazement.

"Maybe," said Lt Col. Edgar C. Doleman, "the war is over and we don't know it" The doughboys swarmed ashore; at 2 a.m., expecting to have to il TO- 1 a- CAOr It it YUmi wflb vwy it Abiorbt ihocki, jart JACKSON'S BOOTERY Formerly Craig's Shoe Store 381 STREET Sunday, January 23, 1944 ALLIED FLIERS BATTLE FLAK, PLANES TO AID LANDING UNITS Writer Tells of Violent Dogfights, Death Of Tail Gunner in Big Sweep Over Italy Cormick and jabs it into the gunner's leg where he previously had cut away a long strip of his heavy, fleece-lines flying suit. "Bandages," McCormick demands. I hand him a roll.

HANGS HIS HEAD He and Lotito work for several minutes, then McCormick turns and says: "I think he's dead. There's a big hole behind his right ear." Lotito slumps against the curved fuselage and hangs his head. I notice that McCormick's and Lotito's hands are blue and cold. We still have lots of altitude. McCormick gets up slowly, as if he is very tired.

He crawls back into the nose of the ship. Lotito just sits there for a moment and then moves back to his waist gun. SHAKES WITH SOBS The body of the tail gunner lies face down. (Vermillion's dispatch does not include the name of the dead tail gunner because it is customary to notify the next of kin before releasing such information.) I follow Lotito back through the fuselage. When he gets to the bomb bay he bends over a shelf and puts his head in his arms.

His back shakes with sobs. I try to buck him up with a pat on the back. After waiting a few minutes, I ask him to let me by. He moves over and I return to the cockpit HEAD FOR FIELD Nearing home, we break away from the rest of the formation and head for a field near a hospital. The co-pilot Lt.

Harwood Beebe of Spartanburg, S. hands me a flare gun as we come in for a landing and instructs me to fire one red flare through the flare port. That brings a crash truck and a British ambulance. We stand around the plane while a medical man climbs into the tail. He drops down again shortly and says: "I'm afraid he's had it, pal." SHIP TAKES PASTING All of a sudden it occurs to me that our ship has taken quite a pasting.

Walking around it, I count 30 flak holes. One fragment has ripped up the back of the flying suit of Top Turret Gunner Marvin Fink of Schohaire, N. but he doesn't have a scratch. Hardly Shot Fired as Invasion Blow Takes Nazis by Surprise fight their way in over the beach through barbed wire and mine fields. I landed with the second wave at 2:10 a.m.

Then we began walking, expecting each moment that the enemy would open fire with a blinding flash of fire. But we just walked. Nothing happened in my sector. There were only a few scattered shots fired and most of them came from our own tense troops. Rude Reception For American's Japanese Wife Insults Said Given Native of Martinez On Leaving Camp MARTINEZ, Jan.

22 OP) Martinez residents today protested the return of the Japanese-American wife of Horton Terry to this town by posting "no Japanese wanted signs in their windows, in full view of the apartment house occupied by Terry and his wife, the former June Arrii, 22. Mrs. Terry was released from a Japanese internment camp last week. JUDGED LOYAL The young woman, mother of a two-year-old boy, was one of the 16 wives of American citizens who were judged loyal by the war department and ordered returned to their home communities by Gen. Delos C.

Emmons, commanding officer of the Western Defense Terry, a construction worker for the Associated Oil said today that the apartment house owner, Joseph Stacey, had requested that they vacate immediately. Mrs. Terry, born and educated in Martinez, has been "insulted" frequently by neighbors who complained to police of her presence and asked that she be ordered to move, Chief Steve Neilsen said. INFORMED F.B.I. Neilsen, perplexed by the informed the federal bureau of investigation of the matter but said the F.B.I, told him no action could be taken as far as they were concerned.

The American Civil Liberties un ion in San Francisco said they would contact the Terrys and offer their help, if any tangible issue is raised by the attitude of neighbors. They said it was the first case of its kind to be called in their attention. Japanese Did Task Americans Planned GUADALCANAL, Solomons, Jan. 22 UPi This screwball war There were some drums of oil on the beach at Empress Augusta Bay. A storm washed some out to sea.

To prevent them from falling into Japanese hands, a United States dive bomber was sent out to destroy them. Before the bomber could fulfill I its mission, Japanese on the edge of the American beachhead spotted the oil drums. They mistook them for submarines. So they opened up with their artillery and sank them.

IHIMHiiMUIMMUIaiMMUrfMrifeiHIiir rJ7 A New Photographic Service and one EAKER LOSES HIS FIGHT FOR ALL-OUT ATTACK ON GERMANY Air General Was for Throwing All Ships Available Into Bombing Strategic Areas By WALTER CRONKITE LONDON, Jan. 22 TP Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, who won his crucial "political battle" for daylight bombing at Casablanca a year ago, is believed by reliable sources to have lost his fight for an all-out strategic bombing of German arms centers by every available heavy bomber.

Because Eaker was too preoccupied to fly to Cairo, these sources said, he was unable to sell President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill on his conception of a "strategical force for strategic bombing," just as he sold day bombing against highly-placed opposition. As a result, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower may utilize part of the heavy bombing force in support of ground troops and to augment the tactical air force, which works in close coordination with the troops. PUAN UNDEFENDED Eaker, like British Air Marshal Sir Arthur Harris, believes that not a single heavy bomber should be withdrawn even temporarily from pounding the key German Industrial centers.

"There is nothing that can be destroyed by gunfire that cannot be destroyed by bombs," Eaker has asserted. Because of his inability to attend the Cairo meetings, it was said, thtjre was no airman's voice raised when the ground offensive was stressed as more important overall than the strategic plan to first bomb out the German fighter plane factories and then erase munitions factories and communications. In the western front realignment, Eaker has been sent to take charge of the force in the Mediterranean area and Major Gen. Carl Spaatz is Eisenhower's choice to succeed him here. The shift was interpreted here as reflecting Eisenhower's disinclination to indoctrinate another air officer with his tactics.

Spaatz, having served with Eisenhower in the Mediterranean, already is familiar with these tac-tices. PICTURE CLOUDED The shift--leaves some mystery as to what part in the picture will be filled by the R.A.F. bomber command and Harris, whose views coincide with Eaker on employment of the strategical force. Experts said Harris' situation differed from Eaker's in that the R.A.F.'s night-flying "saturation" bombers would not be as helpful to support ground weapons as the precision bombing, well-armed Fortresses and Liberators. There is, however, much specu lation in air circles as to whether Harris will manage to remain aloof from the western front organization and be able to carry on with the bombing of Berlin and other industrial targets oblivious to the invasion.
