Their favorite method of attack is from ambush, using hidden machine gun positions, sometimes dashing out for a hand-to-hand struggle, but usually melting into the forests when the odds become too great. Chinese tribesmen also are reported using poison-tipped arrows, whose poison could kill in four minutes.

ROVING SINGER

And Woodie Guthrie, Product of ‘Skid Row,’ ‘Likes Writin’.’ By MARGUERITE YOUNG Times Special Writer "NEW YORK, April 21.—Ballad singer or writer? Woodie Guthrie answers, “Well, I'd rather be a writer if it comes to a showdown. Now that I'got an idea what a book

few more.” ; Two weeks aftef publication of the first story of his roving, fighting, guitar-playing life, 10,000 copies are out ‘of his publisher's stock ‘and Woody is a literary legend. “I had a ‘million words wrote in six months and I spent the next

other,” Woody explains. Several Books In One

That's how he found out about a book—and it turns out he wrote not one but several. Joy Doerflinger, an editor who helped pick out the 140,000 words, says there

good as “Bound for Glory” in what's left over from it. Says she didn’t rewrite Woody at-®all, just showed him how to separate one book from the others. “Woody is Skid Row, U. 8. A, in person. There are many Skid Rows, and Woody has lived in them in 44 states. . They're the Bowery in New York, Chicago’s Clark st., Los Angeles’ Fifth st. east of Main, Oklahoma City’s Reno st., and so on. “But this ain't no hobo book,” he says. “It ain't about me and my guitah. I wrote this Book to show how Americans is natural-born fighters. Hitler said they ain’t. He said they ain’t got no fightin’ culture, they ain't got nothin’ behind ‘em to make ‘em fight. .

Fighting a Pastime

“What Hitler don’t know is that Americans fight better for pastime than any soldiers he can put up. “I seen Americans fight for fun, but this ain’t no time for that. Ain’t no time to let anybody git us all split up over lil’ ol’ nickel and dime things so they can take a hundred dollars away from us.” He is an Okie troubadour—a poet tough as tenpenny nails. What he'll do with the small fortune the books probably will make him, nobody knows: ‘once he had $300 and it vanished in three days.

Wife, 3 Children

He has a wife in El Paso, Texas, and three kids. He can’t quite remember their ages. He is a scrawny little fellow in rough-dried britches. He has curly black hair, blue-black eyes, and a tart laugh. He is 31. He was offered a job singing in| a swanky night club 65 stories up in a New York skyscraper. He said, “Thanks, but that’s too far away from the U. S. A.”
