Landings 'Cut, Dried'
Says Correspondent
Landings in the Pacific now are a cut and dried affair with
little enemy resistance, United Press War Correspondent Don
Caswell, a former Oregon student, told the senior editing class
Friday morning.
He cited McArthur’s Philippine invasion as a regular piece
in' the general’s strategy, which is based upon striking at the
enemy s weak points to cut oft the
strong forces. On some of the in
vaded islands there are still Jap
anese soldiers who have not sur
rendered but are wandering around
living off the land and intermarry
ing with the natives, Caswell said.
These men will present an acute
post-war problem because they
won’t know when the war is over.
The correspondent said he believed
armistice terms would include a
provision "sending trustworthy Jap
anese officers to round up the sol
diers and persuade them to return
p_eE}.cefully to Japan.
Russia Greedy
The former “shack rat” ex
pressed fear that Russia would
come into the Pacific war with a
token foree so that she might have
a say in the peace. He described
Russia bases on the Pacific as
worthless because they could be
speedily destroyed by the Japanese.
In discussing Jap news beats on
invasions and bombings, Caswell
said that the Japanese can afford
to send stories out immediately,
but the United States forces can
not safely release the news until
they are sure the beachheads have
been held. Japanese broadcasts are
based upon a grain of truth, he
said, but the vanquished always
lies, just as the United States did
in the early days of the war. As
an example, he said, news from

In Millrace
Poetic justice tripped up the Em
erald photographer Friday after
noon. Since his frosh pants were in
the wash, and he had worn cords,
he was walking warily (punish
ment is swift for all freshmen
caught without frosh pants by
Order of O'sl, across the Hilyard
street bridge, “nosing for news.”
Then he saw an angle that would
make a good shot. Quickly he
clambered down the bank, and
maneuvered into a position which
only a photographer can achieve.
. . . Not close enough he started
to take another step—foot wavered
uncertainly, then plunged. So did
the F/merald photographer!
He was spared the embarrass
ment of a public “mill-racing.”
