‘Borneo Landing . .
"ABOARD AN LCI OFF TARAKAN, Borneo, May ' 1 (Delayed) —If anybody had told me six months ago that I'd be setting foot on the soil of Borneo ‘today, I'd have thought him daffy: 3 “This morning I set not only foot but elbows, knees and torso. Four of us reporters, who had come down to “these waters together, were -assigned to .a PT boat by Adm. Russell 8. Berkey, eommander of a task force supporting a. landing ~pn .Tarakan island by elements of an Aubsie division. Brig. Gen. Earl Barnes of the 13th air force came along for company. Scuttlebutt about midget Jip submarines and unswept mines gave an air of excitement to our swift journey from our cruiser to the commang, ship carrying Rear Adm. Forrest Royal, commander “of the whole task group, and the Australian nommander-in charge of ground operations. The PT paused i while on the way to watch our shells , and rockets and to see
along the left flank of our landings. We had seen the first waves of small Bohts and amphibious trucks creep into the smoking shore and disgorge “Digger” troops with no apparent opposition. Columns of smoke and large fires were visible, The offshore-area was dotted with warships, assault transports and small craft.
20 Minutes to Go
ON BOARD the command ship while T was talking with the Australian commander, he passed the word for a third battalion to join the two already ashore. He said he was going in himself in 20 minutes, “Where are you going to land?” I asked him. “I think alongside that southernmost dock,” he said, pointing through the murky haze and orienting me by a pillar of smoke." “The dock itself seers to be breached here and there.” So we returned to our PT and I éxplained the situation to the PT squadron commander, Lt. John W, Lt. (j.g.) Ben'Stephens, of Ohio. They were ‘delighted. “We haven't had a chance- before to get in so Morrison, West Englewood, N. J:;, and to the skipper, close on a ‘landing,’ Morrison explained, although during the night his PTs had been patrolling inshore
‘MR. AND MRS. AF, SIGLER have decided that all these people cn the far east side who weep and wail because they can't get garden space. don’t really want to garden-—merely want to talk about it. An item Wednesday mentioning that they were willing to provide garden space on E. 16th st. just east of Arlington brought only two calls—one from an applicant for garden space, the other from a man wanting the job of plowing it... . One of my agents reports that an elderly -woman, apparently a bit near-sighted, was passing Thompson's restaurant, next door to Keith's, and saw her own reflection in _ the full length mirror beside the door. Mistaking her reflection for someone .€lse, she stopped and asked her reflection a question. She repealed it and then, still getting no” answer, went on her way. ... Harold Holland, chief engineer of WFBM, is pretty good when it comes to things elgctrical. .But apparently bis skill doesn’t apply to clocks, Fellow workers .réport that he just can't keep the electric clock in his office running right. It always seems ‘to -be either 10 minutes slow or. a half-hour fast. ..Eddje Moriarity, a pressman for The Times, heard that there was a cigaret line at Ayres’. Hufrying up there on his lunch hour, he found a dine in the basement and got in it. As he got up near the counter, ‘the clerk said: “That's all"there is. No more Kleenex.” “Hey, where's the asked Eddie. “Oh, they're upstairs,” the clerk said. But his lunch hour was up and Eddie had to go back to work.
The Bird Is Smart A YEAR AGO, a silly robin made its nest over the rafters of a driveway pergola at the G. H. Rossebo home, 420 E. 48th st. There being no roof, the poor bird was entirely at the mercy of the elements, so Mr.
“Rossebo constructed a roof for the nest out of shingles.
This year the same robin (they're sure it's the same one) showed up and gave evidence of having learned its lesson. Instead of building its nest outdoors, it chose the Rossebo garage. They left the door open, 80 “The bird could get water and eventually the eggs hatched. The mother
‘America Flies
THE MAGIC NAME of “General” Billy Mitchell fs before the American people again as the senate passes a bill conferring (pothumously) the congressional. mecal of honor and the rank of major general. The bill already has been sent to the house. Billy Mitchell was deprived of the rank of brigadier general,
stripped of his command and re-
tired to private life by ocourt“martial for publicly. accusing army and navy chiefs of being incompetent, criminally negligent, and almost treasonable in their . f@llure to develop the nation’s airpower.” Time apd again, Mitchell warned the nation that lack of air strength left our Pacific possessions wide open to surprise attack by Japan... Ten years later (1936), Billy Mitchell died.
‘Something Awe-Inspiring’ MANY TIMES“similar legislation has been started in one branch of congress and killed in the other. It make little difference whether or not it goes through this time, because it will be passed eventual. ly. There is something awe-inspiring about the invincibility of America’s course toward justice. Gen. Billy Mitchell's vibrant voice has been stilled these many years. But other voices continue to call
My Day -
- WASHINGTON, Friday.-I have had letters from
“a number of veterans stating that the G. I. Bill of
Rights; -as far as getting a loan is concerned, gives them nothing that they could not get in the ordinary way, They add that the red tape surrounding it makes the whole proceedings so long and complicated that most of them feel difficulties are beimg put in their way, instead of help being extended.
This is another reason why i.
think local committees should be functioning. The information bureaus set yp by the veterans bureau for the benefit of returning servicemen probably can give all the necessary information in reply to thé questions that a boy has at the start. But, unfortunately, they are, rarely set up to follow through and see that each individual's problem is properly considered to-fhe end. I know of one boy, for instance, who wanted to

veals the vagaries dar. The latter is described as a less outline of time.” The journal points out that our calendar always is different frorh year to year, the quarters are of unequal length, months begin and end
on different.week days—to mention a few of its faults. |
The proposed world calendar is based on a year of 364, days, because that number is. more easily divisible | than 365. Divide 364 by four and you get 91 days —13 weeks—to the quarter. Each month would have 26 week days, plus Sundays. Each year would start on Sunday, Jan. 1, and the business year on Monday, Jan. 2—and end on a Saturday. The 365th day, a holiday, would be known as December W, being inserted between Saturday, Dec. 30, and Sunday, Jan. 1. It would be an extra Saturday: The occasional leap year day would be taken care of the same way, becoming June W. Holidays always would fall on the same | date. For instance, Christmas would be on Monday, Dec. 25; Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 23; Labor | day, Monday, Sept..4, and probably the birthdays of | Washington sand Lincoln would be combined on the week-end of Feb. 11. And the chances are, adoption of the Rew calendar would be accepfed as an opportunity to place Easter on a fixed date, a goal sought | by severa] church groups.

productive would be tar too great for the reslrces which the boy had at hand. ‘1'Rnow, too, that many a young man, when he first gets home, should not be allowed to make a decision about a -permahent occupation too quickly. Certain things, like quiet surroundings, have a greater appeal when you have just spent months as a target for bombs dropping from the sky, and when noise has been one of your constant companions. Later, they may not loom up as important. Every returning serviceman should be allowed some months to reorient his life, and I believe one or two. experiments in .different® occupations may be advisable. ‘ Many men will go back to what they did before the war and function happily.

The output o f Liberatgr bombers will end by August in the vast government-owned, . Ford-operated plant near Ypsilanti, Mich. With Germany down, the army now wants even heavier, faster planes for the knockout of Japan. Willow Run's workers are being released by the thousands. And yesterday Henry Ford II said his company has no plan for future use of the pleat. = LAST YEAR Ford spokesmen talked of buying Willow Run “at the right price” for production of post-war autos or farm ‘tractors. It is not known why that idea has been abandoned, if it has. Possibly it is considered that the purchase would be unprofitable at any price. For Willow Run, like #he more than 8000 bombers that have come from its assembly lines, is aclually’ a highly-specialized weapon, designed * for a single, crucial task. Altering it to serve a diiJerent purpose might cost more
IT 1s CERTAIN, though, that the army and Ford are right in ‘halting production of Liberators there as quickly as they can. To go on making any sort of munition after the need for it has ended, merely to maintain jobs, would be a grave mistake. It would add useless waste of manpower, materials and money to the perhaps unavoidable waste already gone down the drain of War.
» = » LET'S HOPE that Willow Run is. an exception—that . productive peacetime uses will "be found for a great majority of the war plants on which the government has spent billions tpon billions.” And that rapid reconversion, made possible by co-operation between government and industry, will provide productive peacetime jobs for workers whose war jobs. are nearing their end.

We, the Women Under-Counter Dealing May
Lose Customers
By RUTH MILLETT THE ILLINOIS woman who whipped out a gun to force a butcher to hand over a beef roast he said was already sold, may just have been fed up with all - the under-the-counter selling that is going on these days. _— Certainly a lot of dealefs in meat, cigarets, sheer stockings, and dozens of other scarce articles ¥ are making enemies by not following a first come, first serve policy. . » » ALL THE DEALER sees when he takes care of a pet customer, by holding out a scarce item for him and turning away earlier birds, is the gratitude of the old customer. He isn't aware that for every old customer who boasts, “I can always get cigarets at Joe’s place,” he has irked a good mumber of othgrs ‘who are always turned down simply because they aren't an old customer or a friend of the clerk who waits on them. And the guy who gets turned down—when he Knows pet customers are getting what they ask for—is likely to hurt a business firm more than pet customers help it. ; n » =» OF COURSE, the dealer probably thiriks nobody sees or hears about the cigarets he puts in a sack before sliding them over the counter. But the news gets around. And in no time at all you hear people saying, “I used to trade at Joe's=~but he more. . like being turned dowm when I know the things that are really hard to get are saved for pet customers.” ¢ Time will certainly prove that the far-sighted merchants are the ones who put what they have to sell out in plain sight and let it go to anyone who walks in with the money to pay for it.
