VOL. VII.—No. 44 FORD®, N. J., THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1945 PRICE THREE CENTS
Total For Raritan And.Metudien $664,530; "E*Bond Total $477,477.50
RARITAN TOWNSHIP—Wil-lam E. Walsh, Plainfiekl Road.
chairman of the Seventh War Lonfor Raritan Township and Me-
ij tuchen, announced today that the| quota had been topped.
He declared that the drive hadbeen an outstanding success, inspite of pessimistic earlier re-ports, particularly since the totalquota was exceeded primarily be-cause of the volume of E bondpurchases.
Total purchases were S664,630.-50, against a quota of $0.50,000.The E bond total was $477,447.50,against a quota of $325,000. Otherindividual purchases were $78,4,89against a quita of $100,000 andcorporate purchases were ?liO8,-700' ag-ainst a $32!5,0fl!0 quota.
Credits received for payroll de-duction purchases, mainly at Rari-tan Arsenal and to a lesser degreeat the plants in the district, werelargely rsponsible for the largetotal of E bond sales, Walsh said.
However, he continued/ sales toindividuals by the post offices andbanks in the district exceeded by2.0 per cent the sales in the SixthWar Loan drive and were thelargest of anv bond drive thusfar.
At the Metiichen post officesales were approximately 70 percent greater than the best previ-ous record. This was largely dueto a campaign in the closing daysof the drive when the mailmenconducted a house-to-house con-vass augmented by special effortsof the post office personnel.
f- Walsh also expressed his appre-ciation on behalf of his committeeto the Boy Scouts of the districtand the scJiool children who wereactive in.the drive, plus the workof the management and employesof the Metuchen Forum Theatreand the various sub-committees inthe township and Metuchen.

Committee AdjournsHearing In Effort ToGet Keasbey OpinionWOODIBRIDGE—After a dis-
cussion which lasted over an hourand a half, in which only threeresidents of the Township tookpart, the hearing on the ordinancewhich would empower the Town-shipbey Waterreferendum, for $10,(MX) to theMiddlesex Water Company, wascontinued until the next meetingof the Committee, August 6.
A spokesman for the Keasbey.Civic Improvement Associationsaid his group wanted a guaran-tee of increased water pressureand wanted to know if they would•be expected to pay for new me-ters, if the present meters weretaken out by the Middlesex Water
ompany.Ambrose Mundy, president of
the Water Company who waspresent at the hearing, said al-though he could not guaranteeany particular pressure therewould be a static pressure of ap-proximately 65 pounds.
"That is about what they aregetting- all around the Townshipand in Carteret," .Mr. Mundysaid. He also pointed -out therewould toe no charge for the chang-ing of meters, if necessary, andthat the company was bound byState law to provide "good andadequate pressure."
The Keasbey spokesman how-ever insisted on a written guar-antee of pressure—"everything inblack and write"—which Mundyrefused to give.
"Your guarantee," Mr. Mundysaid, "is the law of the State."

Equipment Arrives For GradingAt Proposed Local Race Track
EAJWOTAN TOWiN SHIP—-Actualwork on the clearing- and grading-of the 450-acre tract for the pro-posed race track in Rstritan Town-ship will begin within the nextfew days.
The .schedule called for startingwork "on or about July 15" butthe rain during the past week in-terferred.- Engineers of RaymondiP. Wilson's office, however, havebeen working at the site of theproposed track on Lincoln High-way between New Brunswick andMetuchen and extending to Route25. Machinery and equipmenthave already been brought intothe county. A small office will beerected in the vicinity of thePines, with Edward O'Neill incharg-e of the project.
No actual building will be .un-dertaken at the present time.
Clearing and grading the sitewill be preliminary to construc-tion of a grandstand, stables andother equipment of the plant. Thetotal investment, it is understood,may run as high as $3,0(M),000.
The (North Jersey Racing Asso-ciation was granted a provisionallicense by. the New Jersey StateRacing Commission last April tobuild the1 track and last Saturdaysanction was given to proceedwith the grading but not for theconstruction of grandstands andstables. Among those who opposedthe> granting of the license wereChurch leaders, College groupsand State Senator John E. Toolan.
Toolan's Sitatiemenit
Senator Toolan, meanwhile; re-stated his opposition to the tracktoday. Estimating. that at least80 per cent of the family heads inthe county are wage earners, whocan ill afford losses at the race
* track, he said:If they lose at the track, or
heights to increase pressurethen it would be unnecessary to]sell the system, he said. He also-stated that the system showed aprofit the last three years. Mr.Winquist was told the cost wouldbe very high. ' • ' ' ' " • \
Township Engineer C. R. Davissaid he had shown a profit for thesystem because since he took overas water superintendent he tookno salary for the job and the me-ters were repaired by members ofthe Road Department.
Refutes Charge ClaimThe Keasbey spokesman de-
clared that "someone was makingmoney out of the Keasbey WaterSystem charging $10 for each new-meter." 'Mr. Davis immediatelychallenged the speaker to producehis proof, heatedly pointing outthat he has collected no moneysince he has been water superin-tendent and that all water chargesare on the tax bill and are paid tothe tax collector.

Board To InoculateChildren Wednesday
EAEI-TAN TOWNSHIP — Con-tinuing its efforts in its programfor the control of diphtheria, theRaritan Township Board of Healthhas set next "Wednesday as theday for administering the dipthe-ria toxoid to Township children.
The. inoculations will be givenin Room. 202 of t ie Municipalbuilding in Piscatawaytown be-tween the hours of 9 to 11 A, M.and at the Edward Street BabyKeep Well Station in the Pottersection from 1 to 2 P. M.
Dr. Charles Calvin of the Rari-tan Township Board ' of Healthwill administer the.inoculation, as.sisted by Miss Evelyn Nussbaum,the^township 'child hygiene nurse.
No Charge To Be MadeThe program is open to children
from six months to six years ofage, and children inoculated willbe given a certificate that willpermit them to enter school. Thisservice is free to all residents ofthe township, and parents areto bring their children to the moreconvenient station.
It is among the young childrenthat diphtheria takes its greatesttoll. Seven out of every 10 casesreported in New Jersey, and eightout of every 10 deaths, are chil-dren under 10 years old. Youngchildren, therefore, are in great-est need of protection, the healthauthorities report.' By injecting under the skin ofthe arm a specially prepared,harmless liquid, the body is madeto 'build up its own protectionagainst diphtheria.
In 1943, the first year -of theprogram in the township, 125children were inoculated, and lastyear 100. In this way, the Boardof Health through its inocula-tion program, is helping to stampout the disease in the township.

New Shell' Co* BmehprnemtExpected To Increase Tire Life
SEiWAREN —- Synthetic tiresexpected to prove as good -or bet-ter than those made from, naturalrubber are now being road-testedby Shell Oil Company, New York,using- a novel '"half-and-half' testtire Made for. the oil firm by Gen-eral Tire & Rubber -Company,Akron. The test tires, 212. ofwhich have been installed on theoil company's trucks and cars,have a tread made half of Gen-eral's regular synthetic rubberformula and half of at formula towhich'Dutrex, a new Shell developsmerit, has been added.
Harry V. iLe-Bourveau, Managerof Shell's Sewaren .Plant, explain-ed that one of the most seriousproblems facing rubber manufac-turers is that of cracking andchipping, and the- resultant dif-fieulty in processing synthetictires. To overcome this difficultyand to give necessary softness andpliability to synthetic rubber,Shell nearly a year ago developedwholly from petroleum a p.latieiz-ing agent called Dutrex, which hasbeen used successfully since that
time in the manufacture of over-shoes, rubbers, and other rainyday f&otwear.
Gets Sample LotsEarly this year, tires made with
Dutrex were reportedly meetingwith such good results that Shellapplied for and obtained WP'B andOIPA approval for {he manufac-ture and test installation of asample lot of the novel "half-and-half" test tires. These have nowbeen installed on Shell automotiveequipment from Maine to Texas,where, under a variety of climaticconditions, they will .be perodic-cally measured and reported. Toassure impartiality in testing,drivers are not told which half ofthe tier tread contains the newcompound. The tires will he ro-tated each 2,5'0'0 miles to assureeven wear, and will run until theywear out.
Reports of the results of thesenationwide tests of Dutrex in auto-mobile tires will be made availableto WiPB's Rubber -Bureau, andthrougs that agency to the entirerubber industry, Mr. LeBourveausaid.

man Herbert B.. Rankin of theThird Ward pointed out the ad-ministration is not interested inmaking the sale if the people ofKeasbey do not want it.
"The sale -of the water sys-tem," he said, "was asked for bythe people of Keasbey to secureincreased water pressure for fireprotection. We are not taking anysides. This ordinance is just ful-filling the mechanics of the re-quest. The reason for the hear-ing' was to give the people ofKeasbey an -opportunity to maketheir wishes known. I thereforemake a motion that this hearingbe continued until the next meet-ing to give the residents of Keas-bey another chance to let us knowwhether or not they want us tocontinue with the sale."
The motion was seconded byCommitteeman William Warrenand was unanimously passed.

Is There Danger In China?,'An- Associated Press dispatch from
Kunming, China, tells us that the Chinesewant to insure their position as a worldpower and gain international "face" bydoing the fighting and dying necessary inthe liberation of China from Japanese[overlords.
The Chinese are playing for big stakesin the Far East. They hope to come outiof the war with increased prestige andjvyhat is more important, arms, equipmentand weapons for a trained army of mil-lions of flighting men. The United States,iof course, is expected to provide the wea-pons of -war.
There 'are immense short-range benefitsto 'accrue to the United States in the pro-cess of arming and equipping Chinese sol-diers. Some question arises, however, inconnection with the long-range wisdom ofia policy that will leave, in all probability,an army of several million trained andequipped Chinese soldiers.
The answer to these doubts would beeasy if there was certainty that the Chinesegovernment constituted a democratic re-gime and that the Chinese people, even inthe possession of military might, wouldcontinue pacifist policies. The relative lowstandard of living- in China and the com-paratively defenseless position of adjoin-ing states, excepting Russia, might temptthe Chinese into postwar aggression.
This risk, if it exists, seems to be onethat will have to be taken in order to pre-sent the death of thousands of Americansoldiers, necessarily involved in any[American expedition to oust the Japan-ese from the Asiatic Mainland. Moreover,strictly speaking, the job-belongs to the
The Neatest Trick Of The MonthWe have been watching the "Germans-
Can - Do-Nlo- Wfrong^They-Are-People-Just-Like-Us" apologists in this country withmore than a little interest and expectationever since the American Army over-ranthe Germans and exposed their revoltingatrocities, later confirmed and documentedby the Generals of the Army, visiting par-ties of Congressmen and Senators and agroup of American editors and publishers.We have been wondering if and how theywould manage to come out in favor of at-rocities, a very difficult side to be caughton even for an American Nazi lover.
We didn't think they could do it, but byGeorge they did, and we want to be thefirst to congratulate them on the neatesttrick of the month, if not for the wholeyear of 1945.
The line they have been taking is thatafter all the living skeletons, madmen andtattered cadavers found in Buchenwald,Dlachau and other German recreation cen-ters were not Americans, -but only otherGermans, Russians, Poles, Belgians, Dutch,Greeks, Norwegians, French, Jews, Czechs,so what is all the shouting about? Thesewere not prisoners of war, but just peoplethe Germans didn't like. Americans, ex-cept those who apparently through someorganizational breakdown were starved toshocking skeletons were treated accordingto the Geneva Convention. So you reallycannot call what happened to a Jew, aPole, a Belgian or Dutch Slave laborer anatrocity, can you now? The millions ofstarved, beaten, shot, hung, roasted, evis-cerated, flayed and roasted of Europe's hu-manity were merely local politicos whoerred in not seeing eye to eye with theGerman government.
The boys piutting out this engaging linehaven't yet managed to sweeten the oddcouple of hundred American prisoners but-chered in'an open field by SS Troopers dur-ing the Bulge break-through. This yet un-explained affair is a sort of untidy appen-dage which can hardly appeal to the neat,methodical mind of the Naizi-lover, and wehsten to suggest to them that it was mere-ly a boyish prank, the natural exuberanceof a strong and healthy soldiery carriedaway by the glorious stimulation of com-bat. And besides they were under the mo-mentary aberation that they were going to

p probably appeal strongly to those whofear the Soviet Union. Admittedly, the RedArmy, if transferred to the Mamchukuoborder, would dominate i;he Asiatic conti-nent. In fact, once the Japanese are ex-pelled, the Russians have no oppositionunless the Chinese Government becomesstrong enough to protect its territory andrights.
In calling attention to these possibilities,ye do not imply, or express"the belief, thatthe Chinese will develop into aggressors.Neither do we suggest that Russia "has anyIntention of attempting to dominate theAsiatic continent. It is well, however, forlany nation and its people to carefully con-sider the long-range implications of a fa-yorable short-range policy.
which the massacre had taken place untilthey could remove the traces in which casenobody could prove anything. There, thatmakes it all right, doesn't it?
! • Until That Bay ComesIn America's army camps, some soldiers
are getting ready to go home. In long,white barracks, they're sweating • out thefinal steps of processing, leading them, atlong last, out of it. For these men, wearingthe gold bars of overseas service, the starsfend ribbons marking America's battle fromrAnzio to Saipan, the shellfire and tracerbullets are over. They're going back tocivilian-life.
But the war isn't over and they knowthat full well. Even as they go through thecamp gates, they see other soldiers form-Ing up, with barrack bags on their backsSand rifles on their shouders, preparing forthe march to the train and the train rideto the port and the boat ride to the warthat still goes on. The old men leavingknow what the new men going into battlecan expect.
;"The new men sense that future, too. Asthey march to the train, their nerves aretense, their faces set. They've been told,arid they know it in their hearts, that thewar is far from over. They know that somewill not return; that wounds and deathmust pay for Pacific battlegrounds yet tobe won.
Welcomed home by their families andfriends, returned to the liberties and luxur-ies of civilian life, the old veterans will bethe last to -forget these men going into bat-tle. "If we can do; one thing- for our buddies•over there and the ones going over, it'sthis," said one discharged veteran fromItaly, "It's to make America know that thewar won't be over until the last shot's fired.It's to make America see that no one's effortshould be spared if it can make the warshorted by a single day. It's to make Amer-ica know that our men will be woundedand killed until that day comes."

That we takeit for granted that close to 100 individualsdie every day as a result of traffic accidentsis a strange commentary on people whoworry about the misfortunes of nearly ev-erybody on the globe.
It is difficult to understand the apathyof the average American to such a fearfultoll. Apparently, everybody should be in-terested in measures to save human life onthe highways by the strictest enforcementof traffic regulations. Despite the fact thatexperience shows that such enforcementwill reduce accidents and save lives, thereis 'an amazing lack of public interest insuch enforcement.
Japs Slay Their WoundedFrom Manila, in the Philippine Islands,
comes the story that Japanese officers or-dered and enforced the execution or sui-cide of a large percentage of the 82,012Japanese who were wounded.
U. S. Military authorities say that thefact was established on the basis of cap-tured enemy documents and declare that"history rarely records such callousness inits atrocities."
Before enemy attacks, the wounded areexpected to: commit suicide and during theattack, every man is expected to go for-ward until he achieves a "glorious death."Wounded soldiers are expected to killthemselves.
Atlantic Flights RoutineIn 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh capti-
vated the imagination of the Americanpeople by making a non-stop flight fromRoosevelt Field, New York, to Le Bourget,the Paris airport, in thirty-three hours,thirty-two minutes.
The progress of aviation is apparentwhen we reflect that in less than two yearsmore than 10,000 passenger aircraft h'avebeen ferried across the North Atlantic bythe Air Transport Command. So casual isa trans-Atlantie flight today, that a plane,taking off for Europe!! gets little attention.

MUSIC:—After the war is overthere's going to be a mammothcommunity singing festival heldin Jersey City and choral socie-ties', barber shop quartets and in-dividual singers will be invitedfrom all over New Jersey to par-ticipate in the gz-and event.
Commissioner Frank H. Eg-gersof Jersey City will sponsor theundertaking and none other than.William J. MeKenna, who wrotesuch songs as "Has Anybody HereSeen Kelly" and "Down in theOld Neighborhood," will assist inthe festival -of songs. McKennawarns communities to get theirsinging groups together for prac-tice in preparation for a.fine time.
Bill McKenna, who wrote thefamous Kelly song in 19 0'9 is busymaking the rounds of the campsand hospitals these days. "I alwaysask if there are any Kellys pres-ent," he says. "There is alwaysan affirmative response—some-times there as many as a dozenmen named either Kelly, Kelleyor CSKelry. From every .State inthe Union—and I have also founda few from South Africa andCuba—but Kellys just the same."
Knowing that a singing nationis a happy nation, McKenna islooking forward to the end of thewar and the great day of the com-munity, sing in Jersey City.
ROAD'S:—One -out of everythirty families in the -metropoli-tan area of northern New Jerseybetween Paterson and Elizabethand from the Orange Mountainseasterly to the Hackensack Mead-ows, will' be visited by a repre-sentative of the .State HighwayDe,partment from September toDecember this year.
The visitor will ask question?relating to the traveling habitsof the family and will not be in-terested in the license number ofcars, mileage traveled, nor eventheir names. The purpose of theinterviews is solely to obtain in-formation as to where the peopletravel, SO that roads may be builtin the future that lead as directlyas possible from where they are towhere they want travel.

FRUITS:—It ses-.ns that MotherNature aided and abetted the foodshortages in New Jersey thisspring and summer by holding-back on the fruits that grow inthe State's gardens and orchards.
The State Department of Agri-culture-reports that aside frompeaches, the outlook for fruits isnot very promising. The commer-cial npi'le crop is lit;ht, averagingapprnxi.nati-ly two-thirds of thatof r.U4. Pear? are very light, andnot expected to total more thanone-half the crop of last season.
Grapes were badly damaged byfrosts at "blossoming time, and theporduction is not expected to bemuch more than 50 per cent of thecrop of a year ago. All smallfriuts are yielding light "crops—much ligrhter than last season.This was true of strawberries, andis likeune true of blackberries,bluelxnrie.-* and raspberries. Cran-berries are reported to have suf-fered some injiuy from springfrosts but it is too early to ac-curately estimate: this crop, ac-cording to the department.

During- the first quarter of 1945over two million industrial work-ers and their families lost theirjobs an'd were plunged into hun-ger and privations while thirteenstrikes broke out, not countingcases of sabotage and riots. Thiswas due to the Japanese controlof the power supply and raw ma-terials.
In Shanghai in the Yangtzepoofactory area alone, eighty-threeout of ninety-six factories wereclosed down in January by orderof the Japanese. Of these seventywere Chinese owned factories.Eleven were owned by Jap mesemerchants and two by foreigners.The closing- down of these eighty-three factories threw over onehundred thousand employes out ofwork.
Similarly the Wingon, Sincereand Sunsun companies dismissedforty per cent of their employes,giving only soap and towels ascompensation. Even the puppetpolice department and .govern-ment began reducing their stakes.A third of the total workers weredismissed in Shanghai factoriesand other institutions.
As a result of the large-scaleunemployment 2,l,73-& workers inShanghai took part in strikes,sabotage and so-called workers"riots" during February andMarch. Of these cases, eighty percent were stasged for improvedtreatment and increased wageswhile 12-3 per cent for helpingunemployed workmen.

Knowing what damagecould be caused by an enemy bal-loon setting fire to the forest sonear the big lumber camp at Gis-come, Paubst got out his rifle andbrought the thing to- earth.

PAGE SIX THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1945 FORDS AND RABITAN TOWNSHIP BEACON
By MAURICE BEAM
Taro Harmobu, almost in sightof his objective, squirmed alongthe bottom of the ravine on hisbelly as rapidly, he believed, as anAmerican soldier e/rald havecrawled. His broad, muscular but-tocks shook solidly as his shortlegs worked piston-like drivingthat squat body toward the headof this shallow canyon. When he'dtopped the ridge there he wouldsee the American wireless station,the listening- post he had beencommanded to destroy.
One grenade, Private Harmobuhad been told, would accomplishthe destruction, two for goodmeasure. He carried two small andpowerful bonvbs in the pack uponhis back, with three pounds ofrice and one dried fish, enoughfor three more days' luxuriouseating. Below the pack was strap-ped a .25 calibre automatic pistol.This was ample equipment for thedischarge of his mission, accord-ing to the sacred admonition givenhim day before yesterday by hishonored captain, Komei Ishikawa.
"You will advance in lying-down position." Captain Ishikawatalked simply, his flat, opaque eyes.sm'veying Taro Harmobu. ""The,distance to the American listeningpost form the inlet where you willbe put ashore is ten, miles. Thelistening post is a shack on thehighest knoll at the end of thepeninsula. Do not rise until youthrow the grenades. Keep to thelow places where the grass is long-est. Be as silent as the snake", ascautious as the deer and as single-minded as the cat."
Private Taro Harmobu saluted,clicking his heels after the Ger-man fashion.
•Captain Ishikawa said, "Thishighest of honors has been award-ed you because you showed your-self deserving at Hong- Kong. Themen of your company envy youthe performance of so glorious amission. Do not, however, allowtheir adulation to turn your head.Modesty is the cardinal virtue."
Taro Harmobu said nothing.The honor of giving his life forthe emperor had overwhelmedhim.
"Think of nothing but your in-structions. Our infallible 'birdmen
. have spotted this American listen-ing- post — in the shack—on theknoll—nearest the tip of the pen-insula. Prom it movements of ourships and planes in the harbor arebeing reported. Once the post isdestroyed this will no longer betrue. iFrom mid-afternoon untildusk our observers will watch forthe flame of your grenades."
Taro Harmobu did not move.None realized more fully than hethis rare honor being paid him.Captain Ishikawa, shogun and dis-tant kinsman of the Tenno, wHomWesterners stupidly called "mika-do," was actually speaking- direct-ly to him, addressing him .byname.; him, a Harmobu, memberof the hunnble Eta, meanest aridlowest of Nipponese society.
The captain caressed his heavy-jaw with a stubby yellow hand.His shining, unblinking eyesstared and Taro Harmobu's soughtthe floor, which was proper.
"The peninsula is alive withAmericans," finished the captain."But never forget that they are a
young: and childish race and soft.You have but to keep your objec-tive firmly in mind, forgetting allelse. Keep repeating to yourselfwords meaning your goal—shack,highest knoll, farthest point, onpeninsula. Destroy the shack themoment -#ou are near enough tohurl your missies. Let no otherthought enter your mind. Neverforget your ancestors, throughyou, are thus enabled to serveKotei."
Kotei! Taro Harmobu blanched.Captain Ishikawa stood up.
"Go!"Once more Taro Harmobu sa-
luted and wheeled. Outside thetent night air lapped at his flatcheeks claimmily. Kotei! This thenwas indeed a mission supreme.Kitei was the name of the son oiheaven as administrator of tem-poral affairs just as Tenno washis name as director of spiritualsalvation. . . .
Private Harmobu gained thehead of the ravine. For a minutehe lay exhausted. The front cf histunic was in rags ar.d through the

rags Wood showed from scratcheshe had received during- his ten-mile tr-ek. But pain was swallowedby the righteous feeling that camefrom following orders implicitly.Not once had a portion of his bodyshowed above the gxass. He hadbeen, in truth, as silent as thesnake, as cautious as the deer andas sing-le-minded as the oat.
His timing, too, was nice. Itlacked now but half an hour untildusk. He would reach the top ofthis ridge at the exact momenttwilight fell. He would hurl his
renadss. .. . . -With a wonderful soundlessness
and incredible invisibility TaroHormobu glided up the slope, hisshort legs flailing. As he n earedthe top the upper rim of the sunsank inot the sea on his right.Swiftly the tropica! njgrht beganto deepen. At the summit of theridge Private Harmobu lifted hishead and his eyes swept the ter-rain. - •
There, just as the infallible•birdmen had disclosed, was theknoll, the highest knoll, and there,atop the knoll was the shanty.Slightly higher than the ridge onwhiclThe lay it was not more thana stones' throw distant. A shal-low declivity sepatr.ted it from theridge.
Suddenly Taro Harmobu's eyeswere caught by movement in thedeclivity below. He saw three men,brown-dad, tall man, whose uni-forms matched the dry turf. Onewas hovering over a black 'boxwhich was a radio instrument.This one wore earphones. Anotherwas turning, a crank. The thirdwas keeling, studying the harborthrough binoculars.
But only for a moment was Pri-vate Harmobu's attention deflect-ed. His eyes came tack to theshack. He rose to his knees. Themen below did not look up. Hecould have lobbed his grenades onto their very heads. Instead heleapt to his feet, pulled the pin ofa grenade and hurled it. Then hebalanced on tiptoe and.hurled thesecond grenade. It tore a big holein the "earth where the shack hadtood.
One of the brown-clads in thedeclivity sprang rpngily up andwhirled. An automatic rifle in hishands chattered in a single shortburst. Taro Harmobu, with threebullets in his chest, slid down intothe grass.
Two of the khaki-clad men camegingerly up the slope, guns atready, while the third talked intoa transmitter. The two gave along, searching- glance along theravine and knew that this Jap hadbeen alone. They stared down athim. The taller one lifted off hishelmet and fanned himself.
"Figger this one out, CrackerBoy. Th' guy coulda got us likepigeons off a barn roof. 'Stead hetosses his-apples into that ol shack.Why?"
"You-all do th' flggerin', Hoos-iah," grinned Cracker Boy.
"Let's ask Corporal' Pete," saidHoosier. "These guys from Cali-fornia know all about Japs. Luckywe let him talk us inta movin' outof that shack even if we didn'thave no orders." They startedback down the slope.
Taro Harmobu could havemade everything clear had he been
_' alive. It was very simple, so sim-'ple that even these childish Amer-icans might have understood.
He had been ordered to destroya shack atop the knoll at the endof this peninsula. Nobody, all hislife long- had ever, ordered him tothink.

Bud Abbott and Lou Costelloworked their trusty magic of laughproduction on old admirers andnew ones alike in Universal's "TheNaughty Nineties" at the -Ditmasand Crescent Theatres, Perth Am-boy.
This comedy drama of old-timeMississippi river steamboat dayspresents the fanioias funny menin separate dramatic roles,- al-though Abbott is still the "straightman" and Gostello on. the receiv-ing end of the most laughable jokeroutine that has been seen formany a day.
Helping develop the web of theplot to which the fantastic adven-tures of Universal's famous laughteam are pinned, is a notable castof players, including Alan 'Curtisand Lois Collier as romantic leads,Rita Johnson and Joe Sawyer as"heavies,-" Henry Travers as the•old steamboat captain, and SamMcDaniel as the Negro cook.

Interest and speculation in Hoi-'lywood surrounds the visit of J.Arthur Rank, the' Englishman whocontrols more than half of the pro-duction -of photoplays as well as650 theatres in England. Mr. Rankis naturally considered by Holly-wood producers as one of theirkeenest competitors and they arewatching his every move and wordto get some idea of his post-awarplans.
England has, as most film-goersrealize, a number of stars capable•of competing- with our own and,"in • the more recent past, British•producers have been sending usquite a number of first-rate mov-ies. It is, therefore, natural fori•our movie-makers to be a little1
worried. Competition, however, isstill the spice of trade, and it may,make Hollywood a little more care-ful of the products it sends outfor local, as well as foreign con-sumption.
Because, it is reported, the bot-tom has dropped out of war mov-ies at the box office, several storiesdealing with the Japanese war andthe iPhilippine liberation have beenquietly shelved. With the comple-tion of Robert Montgomery's"They Were Expendable,1' atM'GM, which was made at requestof the Navy, not a camera is turn-ing on a war story at the presenttime.
-.-. Word comes, however, that sev-eral studios, notably TwentiethCentury-Fox and MGJVI, are ang-ling for the permission of GeneralDwight (Ike) Eisenhower to makehis life story, which they are surethe public will "gobble" up. Gen-eral Ike's life story is packed withthe sort of drama the movies dobest and the one who gets the rightto do the film (if any studio does)will have a sure bet.
Before leaving for a tour ofPacific bases, Jack -Carson had totake typhoid, tetanus, yellow-fever, cholera and smallpox shots.He quipped, "I feel like a guineapig for the medical profession."
Danny Kaye is also to toe away' from Hollywood for some time.
When he finishes his work in "TheKid From Brooklyn," ha is goingto Europe. After that, he willspend the winter in New York withhis radio show and next summerhe will appear on Broadway in amusical show.
When the war is over, LewAyres, who is with the medicalcorps in Northern Luzon, will en-ter a theological seminary to studyfor the ministry.
: Sergeant Marion Hargrove wasrecently paid $100,000 by Metro
. iust for the use of his name for'a t Next, Corporal Hargrove'?1'-lends and fans of 'Susan Je-
ters will be delighted to learn that,although paralyzed from the waistdown, after she accidentally shotherself las New Year's Day on ahunting trip near San Diego, istaking a few faltering steps. Doc-tors feared for her life for weeks,but the young actress was deter-mined to live. This same determi-nation will help her learn to walkagain and, everyone hopes, final-ly overcome the fate that has triedto overwhelm her.
Wallace Beery's next film, "BadBascomb," is to be shot moitly atJackson's Hole, where Beery owns

How's Four Health?LARRY OF FRANCE
"Man's inhumanity to man makes jcountless thousands moimi." The"dark and bloody pages of historyare illuminated only by the deeds•of noble men and women whohave given their lives to the alle- |viation of suffering.- In and out of jseason these great souls have usedtheir time, their talents and theirmeans to help their fellows.
Such a one was Jean DominiqueLarry. This man was an accom-plished physician and surgeon. Hehad held several positions ofprominence and served both in- thearmy and navy. He had also beena professor.in two medical schools.
In 17i93 Larry accompanied theFrench army to Germany andSpain. He was shocked to see t"hewretched condition of. the wound-ed soldiers. There was no ambu--lance service' whatever, nor firstaid to the wounded. The woundedwere left on the fields for manyhours where they suffered untold jagonies, and sometimes they wereabandoned to die.
Larry's kind heart and keenbrain devised an ambulance serv-ice. He appointed three surgeonsand an orderly who comprised thefirst team to go on ahead. Theywere well equipped with saddlebags for their horses. The. bagscontained instruments, medicinesand dressings. Long and commo-dious baskets were strapped tothe horses. In these the wounded
were transported in comparative'ceyiuort.
When Napoleon was carrying ona campaign in Syria, Larry madeuse of. dromidaries instead ofhorses. Each animal was mountedby stretcher bearers and was har-nessed with two baskets in whichthe sick and wounded were de-posited. A herald rode aheadshouting through a trumpet, "Am-bulance of Larry, make -way."His patients always had the firstright to military quarters.
Larry. helped foes as • well asfriends, and this was finally themeans of saving his own life. Hewas taken prisoner toy the Prus-sians and condemned to death.The morning came for him to beshot and the guards went to hisprison to accompany him to hisdoom. The brave physician arosefrom his hard bed and dressedhimself carefully. Quietly hewalked up to the place of execu-tion and placed his back to thewall. The soldiers stood at at-tention and their rifles were level-ed at Ms heart. His hands werebandaged behind his back and anattendant was bandaging his eye,.
"Stop," rang out a vc-ice.It came from a German physi-
cian, At that moment he hadrecognized Larry. The matter wastaken up with the highest authori-ties and he was instantly pardon-ed. Larry had not only helped thecommon German soldiers, he- hadeven saved the life of the. sonof the great General Blucher who
afterward distinguished himselfat Waterloo.
•Larry became the medico-sur-gical head -of the French army andcreated a baron of the empire in1810. At Waterloo he was wound-ed and taken prisoner. After hisrelease he filled many, importantpositions until Ms death in -1.842at Lyons. He was ..a writer of noteand left several medical works.
Private initiative must stabilizepostwar economy, Eccles says.
