TRAVELING FARMERS TO PRODUCE CROPS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (U.P). —War Manpower Director Paul V. McNutt disclosed last night that labor for the unprecedented food production drive in 1943 will be supplied by a highly mobile army of experienced farm hands, aided by local volunteers for peak-season requirements. He said a six-point prorgam will be worked out .in detail by WMC and the agriculture department during the winter months “and launched as soon as spring plantings begin.” Warning that next year’s farmlabor problem will be critical, he said the program would work if all parties “abandon special interests and concentrate on getting the necessary crops in.” If it fails, something else will have to be tried,

Japs’ Constant Air Raids Disturb Press Club on Guadalcanal

By SHERMAN MONTROSE Written for NEA Service SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3—You don’t keep a diary when you're in a combat zone. So innocent an entry as “Maytag Charlie came over this morning” might reveal te Tojo, should that diary fall into enemy hands, that the sputtering of a plane motor was giving away approach of a carrier. But here are a few notes from memory of a c orrespondentphotographer. PLACE: § Guadalcanal, Solomon Is- § lands. DATE: A day in October, 1942, Rifle = Range Roscoe (a Jap 70 millimeter some miles away) sent in his morning barrage. The first time I heard Roscoe I dived out of my cot in the Press Club (cor-

trench (our seven-by-four dugout). But I soon discovered that Roscoe usually fell short of the runway, and only sent up harmless showers of dirt. Marines—feeling they are oldtimers—tell newcomers they can expect raids 24 hours a day. # » ” I CANT LET THAT: pass, and boy, do those kids look relieved when I tell them that a couple of raids a day will be all they can look for. Japs fight mostly at night. I just get to sleep on my cot under mosquito netting, when whoooo-o-oo-carrrrrumph boom! I hit the deck. Another whoooo-0-carrumph—

HAD A bad moment last night. Our camp is a mile and a half from the marines’ headquarters where I go to develop film at night. I'd just fumbled through the developing and started to walk the road back to camp. The road is dusty and all cut up with tractor and jeep traffic. Marines are on guard, and when they demand the pass word, you give it fast to beat them to the draw. Passwords change every night —and they usually have a double ell in them, because the Jap tongue can’t pronounce it. I'd passed two sentries, and thought that was all. My mind was home in Mill Valley, Cal, when I heard the challenge. I tried to think fast—I instinctively put out a hand and said: “Wait a minute, chum, I'll get it” —and started singing: “I wonder what's became of Sally ...”
