Heavy Use of Land Forces
Indicated In Strategy For
Defeat of Japs In Pacific
By Louis P. Keemle
United Press War Analyst
The visit to our battle lines In the Pacific by Gen. George
Marshal), army chief of staff, has significance far beyond that
of a routine Inspection tour.
It Indicates the larger part the army win piay in aii-oui opera
tions asalnst Jnrjan. which presumably was discussed at the Cairo
conference and which will begin in full measure after Germany has
been knocked out of the war and full allied attention Is turned to
the enemy In the orient
NIMITZ, MacARTHUR SEEN
En route home from Cairo and Tehran, Gen. Marshall con
ferred with Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Gen. Douglas MacArthur,
and other top men in the Pacific. It la to be assumed that he ac
quainted them with the course charted by President Roosevelt,
Prime Minister Churchill, and Chiang Kai-sneK. it is aiso runner
evidence that Marshall's part In the war will embrace over-all
strategy and not be limited to personal direction, of the western
front In Europe.
Two principles' of Pacific strategy have been enunciated by
Admiral Nimitz and Gen. MacArthur, and they are by no means
conflicting. Admiral Nimitz has said that the final defeat of Japan
probably will come through China. Gen. MacArthur has pro
claimed the chief objective of his southwest Pacific command to
be the repossession of the Philippines. Both statements imply the
extensive use of land forces the army.
MacArthur s conception of strategy does not necessarily imply
tliat he considers the Philippines the springboard for the direct
assault on Japan. The distance involved Is too great.
MANILA STRATEGIC LOCATION
Manila, however, Is only 650 miles from Hong Kong. Allied
strategists concede that the reopening of the Burma road by Lord
Louis Mountbatten's drive from India will not in Itself be sufficient
to assure the flow of supplies that will enable Chiang's great re
sources ol manpower, with our air and ground support, to drive
the Japanese out ol cnlna. -
China's southeastern ports must be opened and the Philippines
are the logical springboard for that. Their possession, moreover,
would choke off Japan's vast holdings in the Dutch Indies from
Home support, and greatly shorten the war.
Invasion of the Philippines obviously will call for land forces
on a far larger scale than has been necessary or possible in the
Pacific island fighting to date. No one supposes that it will be as
easy to drive the Japanese out of the Philippines as It was for
Ineiri to overwhelm the American forces there, If only because of
tne short supply lines which the Japanese enjoy from their home
islands.

BRUCELLOSIS UNDULANT FEVER
GREATEST EVER
By United Press
Trucking officials warned to
day that the nation's motor
freight transport system' Is ap
proaching a crisis because of
the shortage of new trucks, re
pair parts, tires and manpower.
A survey found motor
transport companies from coast
to coast fearful that their opera
tions may be curtailed by lack
of equipment and repairs In the
near future.
In California, the Office of
Defense Transportation said the
"truck shortage probably will
become acute within six months
during the harvest season unless
the War Production Board al
locates materials for new trucks
and repair parts.
Along mldwestern highways.
truckers reported many vehiclos
wearing out and standing Idle
for want of parts.
CENTRAUPlTlUNiORS
GIVE PLAY TOMORROW
Central Point, Dec. 22 (Spl.)
The Junior class of the Central
Point high school will present
the annual play tomorrow night,
Dec. 23, in the school gymna
sium at 8 p. m. The mystery
drama, 'The Tiger Necklace" is
a sequel to 'The Tiger House,"
which was given at the school
a few years ago, and Is replete
with suspense and thrills.
Malta fever, Mediterranean fe
ver, pseudo-typhoid (meaning it
resembles typhoid fever but
ton t genuine ty
phoid) goat fe
ver, bilious re
mittent fever,
Intermittent ty
phoid fever,
these and sev
other names
have been giv
en what is now
known as bru
cellosis. According to
on authority
Dt. Brady (Harold J. Har
ris, M. D., Bui. N. Y. Acad. Med.,
Sept. '43i Brucellosis. Harpers,
'41) ten to fifteen per cent of
cattle in this country are infect
ed and the Infected cattle are
distributed through 43 per cent
of the dairy herds of this coun
try Brucellosis In cattle is com
monly known as contagious abor
tion or Bang's disease.
It has been commonly be
lieved that the disease was in
troduced into America In 1905
by a cargo of Infected goats from
Malta. The goats on the ship in
fected the entire crew en route
Five of the goats died en route,
and the remaining sixty were
slaughtered at quarantine station
when they arrived, thirty-two be
ing found infected. It was not
until 1908 that the British army
adopted the regulation that all
goats' milk be boiled, and this
was followed by a tremendous
decrease In the prevalence of
the disease In man.
The organism that causes bru
cellosis is called brucella (a type
of bacterium or germ), and occurs
in three strains (B. abortus, B.
melitensls, B. suls) producing the
same disease though perhaps of
varving severity.
Although it is probable that In
fection of man occurs usually
through the use of milk or dairy
products from Infected cows or
goats, there is no question but
that numerous persons contract
undulant fever from handling
hides, carcasses (butchers), car
ing for cattle, goats, etc. Not only
milk, but cream, cheese, butter
may carry the Brucella.
Swine are subject to Infection
with Brucella suls, and although
some physicians contend this Is
less of a hazard to man, others
with the wisdom by experience
believe man may contract undu
lant fever from taking care of
pigs or hogs or from slaughtering
and dressing.
'The use of certified milk
exclusively, unless lt is pas
teurized, is no guarantee,"
asserts Dr. Harris, "against
milk-borne Infection, how-.
ever, for certified milk Is
not above suspicion it raw." -
tlons and give vent to criticism
which is merely shunted aside
the time has arrived to set
this lend-lease matter straight,
completely straight.
MR. LANDIS saw both Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Hopkins at
Cairo, either of whom might be
able to do the necessary inner
spade work, but both were ex
clusively occupied with prob
lems of winning the war. No
out this aide-mess, but they
could get some people who coma
do it, or even empower Mr.
Landia to do it
Unless something Is done, sen
ators will become aware of
what has been going on, and
start again in their own way
the vocal way. Resignation of
Mr. Landis would be enough to
bring on a situation which no
one who has the true war inter
ests of Britain and the United
doubt their minds are too filled States at heart wants to see de-
and hands too busy to straighten I veloped.
