Second Landing

ABOARD A CRUISER IN THE CELEBES SEA— (By Wireless) —My D-day landing on Tarakan sland having been woefully short of dignity, since I hit

E shore out of breath and scrambling for cover, I de-

cided to try again on D- -plus-one,

assorted other officers along to make it more official. During a pause on the way. ashore I was below decks on a PT boat reading a fistful of mail which had just arrived by courier plane © from Manila. So I missed seeing a Jap shell of ‘maybe three-inch

odd yards from us. .

does-to. you out here, Well, the PT with Adms, Forrest: Royal and Russell Berkey and the rest of us headed for the southern,” pier where I'd had trouble. the day before, I mumbled to Adm. Berkey that maybe . it’ might be more comfortable to ‘Shift to a smaller boat that could take us:clear to the inner end of the, pier, so that we wouldn't have to do a tight-rope act, maybe under fire, on the pipelines spanning those three breaches in the pier timbers. The admiral thought the Aussies would have re-

_ paired the gaps by now, so we clambered onto the

pier and set out. ©

Column Did a Rightabout

. THE FIRST two breaches on the 400-yard pier had been patched somewhat, all right, But when we got to the third one—the big one—it was still a gaping abyss, with only the pipes to cross on; The -admirals looked, hesitated, pondered, and came to the judicious conclusion that. maybe the northern pier might be better. So our little column did a righfabout. Adm. Royal commandeered an LOVP and we proceeded to the north pier, which was intact, You don’t gO arpund saying - to admirals, . “I. told

you 50,” but a certain smugness may have crept into] my expression. It was low tide, and the muddy shore still bore 4 tracks left by the boots of the ‘Australian asult “infantry that plunged ashore on D-day from small ‘boats. Small craft were fast in .the mud here and theres A bulldozer ngmed Miss Vermont was “bogged in yard-deep muck. But trucks of many kinds were plying the beach and roads, in some places over steel airstrip matting laid on sheets of -fiber to thwart. the dozy mud, Big L8Ts were unloading onto causeways prefabricated from huge metal tubes and ‘floated in on D-day.

Oil Tanks in Utter. Ruin

AUSSIE TROOPS were everywhere. I saw one with two fresh-killed ducks and a look of happy anticipation. Others: were sleeping on cots, protected slightly from the ‘broiling sun by sheets of tin roof» ing placed over mosquito-net braces, A cluster of. oil tanks was in utter ruin, Some fires still burned. Shellholes gaped. Areas of several acres were burned and blasted till literally nothing remained, But despite five days of our shelling and bombing plus Jap demolitions, a number of fragile native houses looked intact, ahd several] big Jap pillboxes had an unscratched appearance. The Japs apparently had decided to abandon them unmanned and make their stand at an airstrip, which on D- -plus- -one was still being held. = We made our way to the tent of the commander of the Aussie troops. We learned that electrically controlled “land mines were slowing the Aussie ade vance on the airstrip, and blown up bridges were impeding the tanks. The troops were proceeding caus tiously, with few casualties, and the commanders seemed satisfied with the progress. «Our little procession presently returned to the pier, and as we were boarding Adm. Royal's barge we heard brisk: fire start up inland, apparently near where We had just come from, But ‘no bullets came our way, and soon I was back on the PT, cooling off at 30-knot speed on the way back to the cruiser, In the next few pieces I will tell you something about the two weeks-I-have spent on this ship.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

THERE REALLY is such a thing as a hit-and-run’ pedestrian. One of them visited Block's the other

ji day and caused almost as much damage to another

pedestrian as might have been calised by an automo-

bile. This hit-skipper was a young woman who

carried “an infant in her arms. Hurrying down an aisle -in- the store, she collided with an elderly woman, frail and thin, The eld~ erly woman fell against-a counter, and then to the floor, breaking her arm, - The young woman who had knocked her down took a quick look at the elderly woman, lying on the floor in pain, and hirried on out of sight. She didnt even offer to help her victim up off the floor, The victim was given first aid hy the store nurse and a physician who happened to be nearby, and. then was sent to a hospital. She lives in North Salem. Personally, I don't think a hit-run pedestrian is" any better than a hit-run motorist. . . . A family living in the 1100 block, Windsor st. (they asked to remain anonymous) had - relatives from Kokomo visit them Saturday. The visitors included a 9-year-old boy, who was bored af being with mere grownups. The host bought him a sods, dug out books and magaeines, let him play with the dog and cat, and he still was bored. And then a neighbor knocked on the door shouting that the roof was on fire. In - two shakes, sirens were screaming and firemen swarmed all over the place, including the roof. The 9-year-old had the time of his life. When it came time to leave, he said he surely enjoyed his visit and would like to come to see them again. Moral: If you have trouble entertaining visiting youths, this is a sure-fire method. .

Qutchamps the Champ A STORY IN one of the local papers the other day asserted that Ohester Lowry, Akron, O., is a champion collector of armed forces shoulder patches.

- Thus far, the story said, he has 325 patches, Among -

‘those reading the story was Mrs. Robert Tindall, 2113 N. New Jersey st, wife of g Times employee on leave witn the armed forces. Mrs. Tindall dropped me a note to say that her husband, Lt. Col. Tindall, also collects shoulder patches, and he has 560 patches in hig collection. He mow is in. Germany, she says, ahd continues his hobby over there. He has practically all the foreign patches.

" THE UNITED STATES must face the fact that its own reserves of many minerals essential to modern industry will give out in the next quarter of a century. During the last few days, I have given the facts ‘The first necessity, according to Mr. Elmer W. Pehrson, chief of the economics and statistics branch of the VU. S. Bureau of Mines, is to create adequate stock piles of these minerals, Qur experience with rubber and tin at the start of world war II should make this obvious. There were voices raised then in favor of stockpiles—they included my own and my. colleague's, John Love's ~but the idea was sidetracked. - ‘ “As our self-sufficiency declines,” Mr. Pehrson gays, “our military power is adversely affected. and the problem of strategic minerals becomes more acute.

Dia! that number and you'll hear a pleasant voiced young woman giving you a message, such as “Give generously to conquer cancer,” followed by the correct ‘time. Automatie counters reveal that the calls are running more than a million a month. The message is recorded on a -ceiluloid eylinder, and it's a recording you hear when -you call. But, even though they know this is true, .a large percentage of the callers can't refrain from saying, “Thank you.” Those who occasionally listen in -on the line, to check tne operation, report that some men even attempt to “kid” the voice at the other end, or perhaps make a date, But it just won't work, fellows. The girl who does the recording is way down south in Atlanta. . . . In her Manual Latin class which was conjugating verbs, Miss Elzabeth Davis explained: “Amaratus-a-um sum means I am about to love.” She added, with a meaningful glance around the room: “Purely grammatically speaking, of course.” Got any old golf clubs that aren't working? I so, would you like to put them to work, providing pleasure and recreation for some service men, including wounded veterans who are” convaléseing? The new golf course for enlisted men will be ready at Ft. Harrison about July 1. They will rieed quite a few sets of clubs on hand, and the Red Cross has the idea maybe a public appeal would bring donation of a few sets.

gestion 1s just the opposite of this plan, namely, that we build stockpiles of imported materials while using our own.

“ALTHOUGH THE accumulation of stockpiles from foreign sources should be a basic requirement for national defense, a large stockpiling program could also provide a reservoir inte which domestic materials might be placed in times of depression with resultant economy to the nation and bénefits to the mining eommunitiés,” he says. - “Consider the advantages that would have acorued had we kept a ”téasonable measure of employment in the mining areas during the depression and stockpiled the surplus for future use, Not only would the effects of the depression in the mineral- > producing areas have been less severe, but we would have had a substantial inventory that would have eased greatly the progurement proBlem of the last few yéars.” He points out, however, that while stockpiles are

~ necessary for national defense, they give little help

‘toward the problem of providing adequate peacetime supplies at reasonable prices.

NEW YORK, May 7.—Psychia-

for carrying out the late Franklin Roosevelt's last mandate, Dr. Bernard Glueck of New York declared in an address at a meeting here of the American: Psychopathological association. The mandate Dr. Glueck quoted fromi Roosevelt's last, undelivered speech is: ' “Today we are faced with the pre-eminent fact that if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships, the ability of peoples of all kinds to live together and work together in the same world at peace.” First of all a way must be féund, Dr. Glueck said, to decode the symbols and concepts with which psychiatrists work so they can be understood by the man in the street. The . knowledge psychiatrists have must he transmitted into -understanding and brought to the man in the street.
