NATIVES ‘SMELL OUT" JAPANESE
ONERE
New Guineans Lend Invalu-
“able Aid to Yanks; Expert '" In Pidgin English.
By REUEL S§. MOORE United Press Staff Correspondent ' WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.—Alded by a jungle-wise ability literally to “smell” Japanese, New, Guinea na-
tives provided invaluable assistance | to American and Australian forces.
That was disclosed today by an
American soldier who lived en
them, The soldier is Pfe. John J. ‘Smith, |
Flossmoor, Ill. Native alertness on patrols saved his life several times, he said. “One native boy used to lead us out through our own perimeter at night, through three rows of booby traps,” Smith said. “It must have +. peen instinct. Time and again na"tive guides on patrol saw Japanese before the.Japanese saw us, “The natives sometimes killed Japanese with knives or their baré hands by strangling them. Once a native—instructed to kill a Japanese silently—bashed his head in with a huge cocoanut still {n the husk. ‘Master, Master’
“The natives were intelligent. It
was remarkable how they. could]

ing, ‘Master, master.’ “But his message was, ‘Sau, he cookum leg belong Sau,’ meaning
the boy Sau had burned himself.” «A warning dropped by leaflet to the natives advising them to take to the hills in front of the allied advance, Smith said, went like this: “Balus (bird, meaning plane) he walk about on top. Suppose she lookim man he walk about long nambis (beach). Now balus he no can ting (think) balus he shootim man now man he die.” The natives thus were told because allied planes couldn't ‘dentify them that they should take cover when planes appeared.

Glenn Miller
Miller was born in Claripda, Ia. but grew up in Colorado. He worked his way through the University of Colorado by playing trombone in a college band. Later he was trombonist with Ben Pollack’s orchestra, in which Benny Goodman played the clarinet. He skyrocketed to fame with his own orchestra because of his distinctive arrangements, particularly of his theme song, “Moonlight Serenade.” In October, 1942 he broke up the orchestra to go into the army. The Millers have two adopted children, 2-year-old . Steven and a 3-months-old girl, Jonnie Dee, adopted only a month ago.
FOR INAUGURAL
Not Take More Than 12 Minutes.
By ROGER W. STUART Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 25. — It {will be “S. R. O.” for everybody at the fourth term inauguration of President Roosevelt on the south portico of the White House Jan. 20. But that shouldn't dismay the 5000 or so who witness the ceremony. It will be brief. Indeed, not more than 12. minutes, and perhaps only 10, will be taken for the whole program. This will include invocation, administration of the oath to the new vice president, Harry 8. Truman, and the President, the latter's address and the benediction. And that will be all there is to it. Following the ceremony, of course, a, sizeable group, originally estimated at 1200 but now believed to total about 1500, will partake of $l-a-head buffet luncheon in the White House. But there will be no parade this time, no medals, practically no fanfare.
Dramatic Affair
And yet, declares Edwin A. Halsey, clerk of the senate, the brief, $2000 affair may prove to be more dramatic than any of the more ex-
have been conducted at the Capitol. For one thing, he says, the set ting chosen. this time is unbeatable. Standing on the south portico, surrounded by perhaps 100 guests —including cabinet officers, members of the inaugural committee, of the diplomatic corps, the White House staff and their wives—the President will speak for only four or five minutes, However, the view before according to Mr. Halsey, “packed” with inspiration. Both the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, for instance, will lie within the sweep of Mr. Roosevelt's gaze. . Washington Monument
Throygh the vista of trees the Washington monument also will be visible. Beyond, across the Potomac, those standing on the portico will be able to discern the historic Lee mansion. As for the ceremony, which by law begins at noon, it will be opened with a brief invocation by the Rt. Rev. Angus Dun, bishop of Washington. The oath to the vice president will be administered immediftely afterward by Mr. Truman's predecessor, Henry A. Wallace. Chief Justice Stone. of the su preme court then will administer the oath to President Roosevelt.

The story concerns Colman as the peggar-magician who dreamed of a royal marriage for his daughter. He schemes toward this and unaware that she and the Caliph have met and are in love, believing the latter is only the palace gardener. But, Kismet (fate) gets to work and Colman, in order to gain the queen of the ‘dancihg girls (Miss Dietrich) for himself, makes a deal with the Grand Vizier which leads the film to an unusual climax. It is well-balanced entertainment. The associate feature is “Shadows of the Night”, with Warner Baxter,
