SATURDAY, NO. 18 oe

By William McGaffin

Mr, McGaffin, Pacific war correspondent for The Sieh substituting today for Ernie Pyle, who Is on vacation, but expects to return to an assignment on the war fronts in the near future. In this dispatch, Mr. McGaffin continues the story of six fliers who were given up for Jest after the battle of the Philippines,

WITH ADM. HALSEY'S 3D FLEET OFF THE PHILIPPINES (Delayed). We found that with 14 on the raft it would just lie flat at water level. So we took tyrns in the water, two at a‘time, for 15-minute intervals. - We had no food and no water. “Somebody yelled ‘shark. The two men in the water tried to climb in and we almost capsized. We decided that two of us would have to get back in the water, despite the shark. “So we took turns, two by’ two, while the rest stood shark watch with oars. “We named the shark Adolf.” “He was beautiful and didn't seem mean at all. Those in the water held their feet up under the boat so he couldn’t snap at them, Those in the boat swatted at him with the oars. , * “Sometimes he'd swim to within five feet of us. This went on all night, but at dawn ‘Adolf’ was still with us. We were afraid to shoot him for fear his “blood would attract others. “Then he came to within two feet of the raft and lifted himself out of the water. Somebody gave him a lovely wallop on the nose. He went away and we thought we were finished with him, “But that smack had only made him mad. He came back with two brothérs. They swam in formation around us. We could see their fins cut the water as they circled the raft.”

Sharks Kept Circling

“THE THREE SHARKS kept circling our raft,” Pilot Alders went on. “For some reason they didn't attack, and every time they got too near we beat them off with our oars. “It was about 9 o'clock that morning, our fourth

ALONG ABOUT 10 minutes before midnight last Tuesday, a short, red-haired WAC lieutenant and a lanky first-class private were strolling north on Pennsylvania st. across from University park. As they passed the Y. W. C. A, they heard a noise, and looked up. They saw a man in work clothes—probably a janitor— leaning out a second story and slamming a bamboo pole against the wall in an effort, to cliase away several pigeons. The wily pigeons moved out of range, but remained on the ledge..80 the man climbed out the window and walked along the ledge, too, to dislodge them. The pigeons gave up and flew across the street to University park and attempted to find quarters .there. However, the starlings had all the reservations on the tree limbs, and set up such a noisy chatter that the pigeons again retreated, Driven out of both .their first and second choice roosts, the pigeons just kept on circling above Pennsylvania st. until the man had climbed back through the window into the “Y.” Then they flew back to their original perches on the “Y” ledge. The short, red-hdired WAC lleutenant and the lanky first-class private continued their strolling without waiting to see whether the man would go after the pigeons -again, or was ready to holler quits. We don't

* know who he was, but we'll bet he hasn't worked

there long. Because it shouldn't take anyone long to find out that you can't beat those pigeons and starlings.

WE USED TO THINK we couldn't get out a column without several streetcar (or bus) items, Now #it’s the cigaret shortage, and we can't see what we ever found to write about before the shortage occurred. Frinstance: A man walked into the Haag drug store at 938 N.

World of Science

PATULIN, HAILED earlier in the year as a cure for the common cold, apparently has not lived up to the initial hope. An investigation just completed by the British Medical Research Council shows that it is not an effective treatment for the common cold. The stuff resembles penicillin in that it is a metabolic product obtained from a mold related to the one from which penicillin is obtained. Penicillin is secreted by the mold known as penicillium notatum. Patulin is obtained similarly from the penicillium patulum, The, first clinical trials of patulin were tried in London in November, 1943, and the reports were optimistic. Apparently excellent results were obtained in 95 cases.- These were compared with 85 other cases which were kept under observation at the same time, but not given patulin, It was this initial report which led the British Medical Research Council to instigate an investigation of the stuff. -Describing these tests, the London correspondent of the Journal of the American Medical association points out the difficulties attendant upon such an undertaking,

Not Always the Same

“DEFINITION of the ‘common cold offered considerable difficulty,” he writes. - “There is no reason to believe that the condition is always or even usually due to the same agent.”

I took it off and waved it while the guhiers dumped dye on the water, “When the plane got nearer we saw it was Japa nese. We hid in the bottom of the raft and prayed, Our prayers were answered: The Nip went on without seeing us,

Desperate Chance . /

“ABOUT AN HOUR and a half after that, we saw four Helldivers, We put dye in the water again and tried to light a smoke bomb but it wouldn't work. The planes were just going away when someone half. heartedly fired a flare pistol. We didn’t think we had a chance. But one of them saw us. Then all four came back and circled over. They dropped ‘food and another liferaft. “There was a note in one of the back-packs of food. It said: ‘Howdy, fellows. We'll have you picked up soon.” They were relieved later by four fighters. After that, torpedo. bombers took over from the fighters. “They kept constant patrol over us. About 4 p.m. we saw a stack on the horizon, and pretty soon a destroyer came alongside. They said Adm, Halsey had sent it. “We had drifted so far it had to steam full speed for five hours to reach us. We were 150 miles from the fleet. They had used up 27,000 gallons of fuel, It was taking a pretty big risk, they took, coming out alone, so far from the fleet. “We had just gone to our bunks when the general quarters alarm sounded. A Japanese submarine had fired a torpedo. But the destroyer spotted it in time and maneuvered out of the way.”

customer got out a pack, gave the youth one, and went on his way. . . . Bob McCusker of Anderson, who knows all there is to know about the tobacco industry, sends us a clipping from the Anderson Herald, It's a column he wrote, as a pinchhitter. In it, he pointed out the foolishness of hoarding cigarets. We quote: “The present day cigaret contains no glycerine, which is used as a preservative. Then again, if you keep your cigarets in a warm room, they become dry and lose their flavor. So if ‘your cigaret tastes different,’ quit hoarding. Buy cigarets just as you need them.”, , , And then there was the woman who got on a Brightwood car the other day with five unwrapped cartons of cigarets—two Old Golds, two Kools and one other brand—under her arm, You can imagine the muttering that went on among the other passengers. One young woman said: “And to ‘think I stood in line 20 minutes and almost was mobbed to buy one little package of Camels!” One of our agents calls attention to a clothing dummy in Block's corner display window facing Market at Illinois. The dummy holds in its mouth a partially smoked cigaret. Quoth our agent: “Looks like they went out and shot a snipe for the display, rather than wasting a whole cigaret on the dummy.”

IF YOU'VE BEEN reclassified 4-A (or IV-A) by your draft board recently, don't be alarmed. It doesn’t mean you'll be called for induction very soon. It's just a new classification being used to cover those persons now deferred by reason of age. Formerly such persons were classified 1-AH, or 2-AH, or something similar—always with an H after the classification: One woman, we learn, called state selective service headquarters and noting her husband had been classified IV-A, inquired the meaning of: “One VA”. ., The U, 8, O.

A second difficulty, he continues, is that the dura~ tion of colds is variable. A third is that objective signs are too variable to serve as criteria for the pres. ence and progress of colds. To meet these difficulties the British Medical Research council studied large numbers of patients, at widely separated places. Tests were carried on in 11: factories with a total force of 90,000 workers and at three units of the postoffice employing 15,000 people, As colds. were reported, every other case was treated with patulin, The cases in between these were given a spurious treatment, However, no patient knew whether he was getting patulin or not.

Should Not Be Neglected

IN THIS FASHION 668 patients were treated with patulin while 680 were not. The conclusion of the council is “No evidence was found that patulin is effective in the treatment of the common celd.” Thus the medical profession finds itself back in the position once described by a veteran physician who said that he could cure a cold by vigorous treatment in 12 days, but that if left alone it would go away in 10 days. All this, however, should not be interpreted to mean that a.common cdld should he neglected. On the contrary, the person with a cold should stay indoors both for his own sake and for that of others. By isolating himself, he ceases to be a center of infection fdr others. Likewise by staying in he remains more comfortable and lessens the danger that the cold may pave the way for an attack of pneumonia. While there is no cure for the common cold, the physician can do much to relieve the symptoms,

"Capital Agog Over Girl Pipe Smokers

By EULALIE McDOWELL United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov, 18. —Not since President An. drew ‘Jackson's wife, Rachel, shocked capital society with her Tennessee corncob pipe back in the 1820's has Washington become so worked up over women’s smoking habits, It's all because of the cigaret shortage which is making. pipe smokers out of women and creating boom-town business for tobacconists lucky ‘enough to have ladies’ briars in stock, 80 far government girls are openly puffing away at pipes. » ” » BUT ONE Washington pipe seller, who reported his entire supply of ladies’ pipes cleaned out yesterday, said the ladies of the capital are smoking their pipes at home and will séon be doing it in public, He even predicted women would be smoking pipes on the street “as the cigaret shortage gets worse.” Pipe smoking reportedly has caught on like wild fire among the WACS and WAVES stationed here.

T'S POSSIBLE'— Can We Finish

War in Europe By January 1?

BY EDWARD P. MORGAN Times Foreign Correspondent LONDON, Nov. 18—The great offensive rolling forward along the entire western front arouses

once more in everybody's mind the tantalizing question: Can the war in Burope still be finished this year? Nobody can give a clear cut answer to that question, but responsible military opinion can be found which is confident that the vast, co-ordinated attack that Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower has just started ‘will be the last major battle for Germany. . » »

OUR IMMEDIATE objective seems pretty clearly to be the Rhine, The American, British and French armies might reach that great natural barrier by Christmas. Again, it mdy take them until Easter. The reichswehr can be expected to muster a mighty stand there. But once the vives is bridged in force by the allies, an increasing number of people believe that the battle of Germany, in terms of large-scale organized warfare, may then definitely be over. » ” n THAT DOES not mean, of course, that the Nazis will not continue guerrilla resistance for months more, and the supreme command is preparing for that. The success of the current operations depends more than ever on weather and supplies. Lt. Gen. Courtney C. Hodges waited five days beyond Armistice day, his choice for attack, until a clear day could insure the air support which the 1st army wanted -and got so powerfully. # . »

BUT THE bombing weather now is poor and will worsen. However, our artillery arm was probably never more powerful and ean go a long way towards making up with “saturation shell ing” the weakness which we must expect in the air as one .of the prices of winter campaigning. There is reason to believe that the supply situation on the western front is extremely good.

SO SAYS HIMMLER— Nazis Offer Lives Ta Fuehrer for Suicide Missions

Times Foreign Service STOCKHOLM, Nov. 18-—Just ‘how deeply Heinrich Himmler's insidiously penetrating grip has taken hold upon the emotions and imaginations of the German people may be judged by perusal of current editions of the Berlin newspaper Das Schwarze Korps— that is, if one chooses to place credence in that 88 (Elite Guard) mouthpiece, According to the Himmler organ,

| German men and women with

hopeless ailments are volunteering to donate their lives to their fuehrer, " » ~ LETTERS purporting to have been written by Hitler's fanatical followers are being printed in which the writers offer to oper-

ate “explosive boats,” one-man torpedoes, and other suicidal weapons in attacks upon the “hated enemy.”

These letters may be outright fakes, or they may be genuine, inspired, perhaps, by recent Ger-

man press stories about Japanese |

“living bombs with wings.” Under Tokyo datelines, Nazi papers have been reporting that Jap pilots deliberately throw away their lives in one-way trips against American ships in the Pacific, by crashing their ex-plosive-laden planes into the sides of the vessels. ” . ” THE GERMANS have read that “hundreds of living Jap. bombs await the hour of their glorious death.” They have read how trained pilots, mostly between 18 and 20 years of age, volunteer for one-way missions, Himmler and Goebbels may be trying to inspire German physical wrecks into a Nazl version of these suicide attacks by fake reports of offers already received. Or the letters actually may be authentic, _ Anyway, the publication of the reports does reveal that the Nazis are going to every length to keep on fighting, utilizing every possible ounce of manpower in the effort. Thus, does Himmler, mad with lust for power, employ every trick to keep the Germans fighting until the last old man, the last little boy, and the last hapeless cripple.
