_’ BEHIND JAPANESE LINES WITH AMERICAN

GUERRILLA RANGERS, Burma.—Night is the time when day's uncertainties are doubled in this guer--

rilla hideout. A few minutes’ walk separates us-from

i * the main highway of the Jap escape route into Thai-

land. It is about three days’ hard march, with bullock carts bear ing our radios, to the allied lines, This force is like a restive worm between the two slices of a sand‘witch representing the Jap divisions’ front and rear lines, This worm wriggles around and whenever .the Jap thinks.him dead, his tongue gets a new stinging. A waning moon fides overhead, All morning there had been firing along the road which still has ’ not, been completely explained. A 26-year- old West Pointer, with a Brooklyn-born ser=geant, is still holding our Christian Karens and Chinese in their positions. You stand watching the moonlight on the trees beside the commander, being caréful to remain in the shadows to thwart snipers: #People have this guerrilla work all wrong,” murinurs the strong-jawed young. officer, whose stomach has an 18-inch scar earned in defending: Myitkyina Airfield far to the north.

Move Fieely at Rear “THEY THINK .that because we.are sitting beside the Jap’'s line of communication, many miles in his rear, we are in danger of never getting back. That's wrong. Sure, we blow up bridges and put incendiary packages in his supply dumps. But because we dropped in here by parachute does not mean that we're going to be annihilated. We haye killed 142 Japs and captured one, and have had three of our men wounded, “But actually we are able to move more freely for being deep in the Japs rear. No army can fight on two fronts, Every army faces toward the oneoming enemy, The Japs cannot find us because we're behind their backs. We can surprise, sting, or stab as often as we want,”

Price of Folly

BERLIN, July 9.—For the next 10 years, and perhaps 20, the vast, sprawling ruins of Berlin will emphasize to the Germans their utter defeat and the price they had to pay for their folly and lust. This is a- cautious, almost reluctant estimate of Berlin's reconstruction period as made by a most important German political official, Dr. Arthur Werner, the Oberburgermeister, or lord mayor, of Berlin, Picking his words carefully in the presence of a Russian lieu- ' tenant colonel, who sat at his left hand and took frequent notes in German, Dr. Werner had to be pinned down before he would even venture a guess as to the number of years it wil take to rebuild Berlin—or even to remove the terrifying. fetid destruction so that its rebuilding can really get under way. The lord mayor was friendly but his answers to questions about reconstruction, the amount of food coming into Berlin from Russia, and the Russian occupation were obviously tempered by the sight of the Red army officer painstakingly scribbling his notes. No, he said, the Berlin city government (numbering 75,350 Germans approved or temporarily tolerated by the Russians) has no plan for rebuilding Berlin. * ‘There are so many other first things—so much to do,

‘Berlin Will Be Rebuilt’

DR. WERNER paused to eye the Russian officer. His look seemed to be one of both*awe and caution, or perhaps he was only making sure that the colonel —formally called Russian liaison officer to the lord mayor—was getting it all down for the : inevitable report to Russian headquarters. “It will take years, but Berlin can be rebuilt and it will be rebuilt,” he said. Dr. Werner should know because he is a profes-

Sci RADIOS AND television sets will be turned out at the rate of 3000 to 5000 a day on the high-speed assembly lines of the Westinghouse plant at Sunbury, Pa., within 60 days after the easement of .restrictions on manpower and materials. So says Harold B. Donley, manager of the - company’s home radio division. He says that details of the new sets cannot be announced until the lifting of: certain wartime restrictions on information. But he points out that Westinghouse has bui approximately $350,000,000 worth of radio and radar équip-

war II and that the new sets will profit by the developments of the war, : Technical observers agree that a new era in radio and television is approaching with the end of world war II and it is interesting to note that this turn of events coincides with the 25th anniversary of radio broadcasting. Radio broadcasting, now a billion-dollar-a-year- . business, got its start with the establishment of Station KDKA by Westinghouse in Pittsburgh on Nov. 2, 1920. "Although KDKA began its official career on that date by broadcasting the returns of the Harding-Cox presidential election, Westinghouse had done experimental broadcasting earlier in the year,

This West Pointer feels a hatred of the Japs that is almost too deep for expression. It: is rooted in the

a Manchurian prison camp. “But my reasons for wanting to kill-the Japs are not‘personal,” he said as a nightbird glided across the waning moon. “It's because of the dead babies I've seen senselessly killed by the Japs.

Jan, 1-May 16, 1941 OUNT . CIANO, Musso- “ lini's® son-in-law, , wrote’ into his intimate diary the first account to come from inside the axis of the strange flight of Rudolf Hess, Hitler's trusted deputy, io parachuted into i May, 1941.

Ciano makes it abundantly clear {that it was_no prearranged trip {and that it jarred Nazi Germany to |the heart of thé Reichschancellery. Its immediate result was to send Foreign Minister Ribbentrop. scurrying to Rome before Hess could {spill German plans in London. Ciano was astonished chiefly at tthe failure of Anglo-Americans to exploit the incident. For three months early in 1941 Ciano was with a ‘bomber group operating from Bari. He recorded such political gossip as the fact

the Berlin public works department. He kept out of

city and national politics and devoted himself largely |

to running a school for engineering students. This school, established in 1906, was closed by the Nazis in April 1942,

“I have never concealed my anti-Nazi feelings,” Dr. |

Werner said. “Théy made me an executive for the task of building 18 bunkers for hospitals, Then, on May 12 of this year the Russians came and asked me to be oberburgermeister,”

Seven-Point Program ONE OF HIS CHIEF concerns is to carry out a program which the Russians have told him must be

aimed at restoring civil life and public utilities: electricity, transportation, water, sewage disposal, gas, communal business such as barber shops, bathhouses and laundries, and finally reconstruction. Dr. Werner confirmed reports that Russian food, in large quantities, is coming to Berliners, but he was extremely evasive as to figures. He sidestepped this question by expressing a childlike hope that the U. S. soon would be sending foodstuffs to Germany.

Surprised at U. S. Shortages HE SEEMED surprised when we told him a few facts about American food shortages and the necessity of getting subsistence supplies into countries ravished by the Germans. He glanced at his Russian watchdog and said firmly: “Why, 1 thought all that talk about American shortages was just propaganda from Goebbels. And I have seen American soldiers who arrived to take over your zone this week giving candy to children—and so I felt that you must have plenty of food to send us.” Bent over his note-taking, the Russian continued to write, deep in silence. ‘But there was the trace of an inscrutable smile on his’ face.

other Westinghouse stations around the country. The pioneers included KYW in Chicago, WBZ in Springfield, WJZ in Newark. Other concerns also entered the field and such “stations as WGY in Schenectady, WHK in Cleveland, and others came into existence. The immediate effect-of these stations was to confront the nation with a shortage of oatmeal boxes in 1921. Younger readers may be confused by this statement but older readers will: remember that in the days when you made your own crystal detector re-

Broadcast Vaudeville UNTIL, 1921, if the reader will forgive a personal note, I had divided my time between géneral reporting and the writing of dramatic and motion picture criticism: But.in that year I undertook to tell readers of The Cleveland Press and other Scripps-Howard Newspapers how to turn an oatmeal box into a radio receiver, thus becoming one of the first radio editors in the nation.

The result was known

With the aid of John Royal, now an NBC vice

president but the manager of Keith's Hippodrome Theater in Cleveland in those days, I staged a broadcast of Keith vaudeville talent over WHK. It was the first time such a professional bill went over the air. The next day Mr. Royal received a telegram from E. F. Albee, then head of the Keith-Albee circuit, telling him never to do it again. In 1922 I broadcast news bulletins a couple of times a week from WHK and so I suppose I could claim to. be one of the pioneers in this field, too. Later I gave a series of talks on astronomy over WHK, 1 suppose that radio was the. bridge by which I progressed from dramatic criticism to the role of science editor but science had always been my first interest in school and college.

Australia, and many of the other governor-generals of individuals provinces, spoke to me in the highest terms of Mr. Curtin, which meant that he had risen above the point of view of the average citizen and become a statesman. Most of us are primarily interested in the things that affect our particular interests and opportunities, A statesman, however, must see how each particular interest - will affect the interest of the -whole, and he cannot allow even his own inclinations to sway him one way or another, since if is the whole people that he must represent.

Prime Minister John Curtin achieved that point of view, ‘and I think his people, - and we in United States, owe him a deep debt of gratitude. His leadership meant much‘ in the smoothing out of difficulties which might well have arisen, when such: large numbers of American soldiers: descended upon the Australian‘homeland. He was held in high esteem not only by Gen. MacArthur, but by many of our other officers who had the good fortune to meet him. The good feeling which existed between our men and the people of Australia was. due in great part to his leadership. When .he and Mrs. Curtin came to Washington, my husband and I were rejoiced to see het 3 1 ‘know what ‘a great sorrow Mrs. Curtin: ang ine children now bear.

There is| something mysterious about it, ev=| en though Alfieri (ambassador in Berlin) is sure it was an accident.” (Rudolf Hess left Germany in a pursuit plane May 10. The Germans announced at first that he had crashed and was presumed dead on an authorized flight. After the British announcement that he had parachuted to safety in Scotland, the Nazis undertook to portray him as insane. ‘The cause of his flight has been one of the war's major mysteries.)

» ” J MAY 13—"The Hess affair is a sensation . , . In the beginning Il Duce believed that Hess was forced to land while on his way to Ireland to start a revolt, but he abandoned this thesis soon, and now shares my judgment of the exceptional importance of the event. “Von Ribbentrop arrives suddenly

in Rome. - He is- discouraged and nervous. . . . The official version is ‘that Hess, sick in mind and body,

was a victim of pacifist hallucinations and went to Britain to begin peace negotiations. Hence hé is not a traitor. Hence he will not talk. Hence, whatever is said ‘or printed in his name is false. The conversation is sewn with white thread. “The Nazis want to put their hands forward before Hess speaks and reveals things that will make a deep impression on us.- Mussolini comforted Ribbentrop, but told

the Hess affair a tremendous .blow to the Nazi regime. He added that he was glad, because this will reduce the German stock.”

” 2 MAY 14—“The British radio says that Hess spends his time writing, which disturbs Ribbentrop. When Ribbentrop's four-motored plane was taking off, Bismarck (Nazi minister) said to _Anfuso (Ciano’s secretary), ‘Let's hope they all fall and break their necks, but not here or we'll have an unpleasant day's work to do. “In the meantime things are not going as they should in Japan, and they are still worse in Russia. Ribbentrop himself, when questioned by II Duce, avoided a definite reply and said that if Stalin is not careful “Russia will be destroyed in three months.’ The chief of staff

formation gathered in Budapest that the attack has already been decided, and will begin June 15, with Hungary -and Romania cooperating. . . . The story of Napol: eon repeats itself.” (The attack started June 22.)

» » MAY 15—“Contrary to expectations, Anglo-American propaganda about the Hess case is relatively modest. documents are the German dis-

tive. Alfieri writes that confusion is at its height.” (Alfieri, it was disclosed later, took the initial German communique and: “practically broke “his neck” sending condolences to Hitler on the loss of his favorite collaborator. ‘It helped reduce still more the good will between Germany and Italy.) May 16 — “Expectant pause in the Hess case. Even- the British press mentions a mysterious peace mission, implying a prearranged agreement between Hitler and Hess. This is in sharp contrast with Ribbentrop’s declarations, and with German nervousness, whith is not decreasing.” (NEXT: Italy's Rasputin.)

For Both Sides

(Editor's note: Senators Hatch, Burton and Ball have proposed a new Federal Industrial Relations “Aet. The bill they have put before Congress is already a subject of wide discussion and heated controversy. ‘In an effort to contribute to public understanding of this bill we have . analyzed it in six brief articles, the first of which appears herewith.)

BY E. A. EVANS THE HATCH-BURTON-BALL bill says that it shall be the ‘policy of Congress to facilitate “prompt, peaceful and just settlement of all labor-relations controversies that may interrupt commerce among the several states or: with " foreign nations.” a This policy would be carried out, the bill says, by: 1. Encouraging the making and maintaining of labor- management agree - ments. 2. Helping to Mr. maintain the rights of employees and employers to be represented in colléctive- bargaining by freely chosen representatives. 3. Providing Federal settlement procedures for controversies that threaten substantial interruption of interstate or foreign commerce: " 4. Leaving -all other labor relations controversies to be dealt with by the states. » "” FJ THIS policy's purpose. the bill says, shall be to promote continuous, regular employment, and to avoid interruptions of employment by strikes: lockouts or shut. downs or because employers or employees, are unablé to maintain satisfactory relations. The bill would create a fivemember Federal Labor Relations Board to replace the present National Labor Relations Board. The membegs, appointed by the

president, would get $12,000 salaries. The FLRB would administer

the act's procedure for settlement. o: all labor-management controversies in the Federal field, except those handled under the Railway Labor Act. Punctions and personnel of the U. S. Conciliation Service would be transferred to the FLRB from the De partment o Tipo. » THE BILL ako would create a separate, independent Unfair Labor Practices Tribunal—three members, appointed by the President, at $10,000 salaries—to .enforce legal prohibitions against unfair practices by employers or employees.
