going with what was left to bet
on, but generally not interested

Some of the bigger bookmak
ers, such as the $1,000,000 opera

to take winter vacations In Flor

was in force, The smaller fel
lows, who make up the bulk of
the nation's bookmakers, gen
erally intended to carry on with
book on Mexican and Cuban
horse races, with some expand

baseball or basketball pools.
But there were strong indica
tions that only a very small mi
nority of gamblers will go Into
defense work, a move which the
ban by War Mobilization Direc
tor James F. Byrnes had hoped
to achieve.
A number of the bigger gamb
ling houses did not expect the
shut-down to last very long. One
outfit in Buffalo even predicted
the ban would be lifted shortly

Knife War Better
One high-ranking officer.
West Pointer who saw the action
at Guadalcanal before , fighting
the Germans, told me he pre
ferred the "knife war" of the
Pacific to the European style,
which plays into the hands of
the tricky nazis.
He said casualties In the Pa
cific style of fighting were far
lighter, even though prisoners
taken by both sides were negli
gible. This officer believes we should
tell the Germans to "surrender
or die," and stick to it. If the
Germans once found out they
had only one chance to surren
der or be killed, they would
surrender before killing so many
Yankees,
