Flying Tigers
Reach Jersey
Jersey City, N. J., March 28 (U.R
An American vessel, carrying 179
passengers, among them four avia
tors who were members of the
American volunteer group "Flying
Tigers" In Rangoon, arrived today
after a trip around the world, .
The vessel, twice reported sunk by
the Japanese, was enroute between
two far eastern ports on December
7, but no news of the Pearl Harbor
attack reached the boat until she
docked at a Dutch port on Decem
ber 8.
The four "Flying Tigers" refused
to comment on their experiences
except to say, "We were always
greatly outnumbered."
The aviators are D. R. Bernsdorf,
28, of Minneapolis; R. N. Gunvor
dahl, 23, of Burke, S. D.; L. J.
Houle, 28, of Worcester, Mass.; and
D, R. Knapp, 24, of Santa Barbara,

MacArthur
World's Hope
Eugene, March 28 W Douglas
MacArthur, new commander of the
United Nations forces in tile south
western Pacific, has become the
"symbolic hope of the world," E.
Palmer Hoyt, publisher of The Ore
gonian, told the Eugene Chamber of
Commerce public affairs luncheon
gathering Friday noon.
The speaker, saying he disagreed
with almost everything Hitler had
said, agreed nevertheless that one
utterance of the Nazi leader was
true. The utterance:
"To worlds are in conflict one of
them must burst asunder." '
The choice, said Publisher Hoyt,
"Is up to us," who must supply the
munitions to our leaders such as
Commander MacArthur.
Mr. Hoyt provided a definition of
the United States alms In the war
effort.
"We are fighting," he said, "for
the right to carry out the natural
processes of social evolution. We
want to be allowed to read the
books we want to read, listen to
the radio programs we want to lis
ten to, carry out our every day lives
as we see fit, so long as we do not
hurt the public at large."
General MacArthur, he added, is
'The superman weall . though we
were before Pearl Harbor."
With a man like the hero of Ba
taan as leader of the United Na
tions, we need only a re-awakened
public to make his leadership a
success in the war effort, he said.

Loss of Navy
A South Pacific Port, March 28
(yp) A Netherlands navy , spokes
man said today that the unified
command of the United Nations
naval forces under Dutch Admiral
C, E. L. Helfrlch had to be dissolved
after the first big engagement in
the Java sea February 21 when al
lied ships withdrew to different re
fuel ports.
"It is to be regretted," Aneta,
Netherlands news agency quoted
him as saying, "that after the inci
dent the allied force went to dif
ferent refuel ports, because the next
day It had become impossible to
concentrate again and form a new
squadron that should have had a
better chance to break through the
enemy, even though he had super
ior forces.
"Owing to the impossibility of re
concentratlng, the unified com
mand was dissolved, each of the al
lied admirals In the southwest Pa
cific taking his own ships under
his direct command."
He said Admiral Helfrlch ordered
the attack on the superior Japan
ese fleet in the Java sea because he
believed all must be risked "even
the then available allied forces"
to save the Soerabaja naval base.
