N """ theWe g0t pected to arrive much before she ee.ee Editorial Correspondence Palm Springs, Cal., March 14. The General was all wet regard ing Russia. But we believe he has something when he sees world peace a long way off. And by peace, we mean PEACE, a condition such as existed BEFORE September 1, 1939, with actual war being conducted nowhere. For it is one thing to beat a nation and quite another to destroy it. And the plain truth is, neither Germany nor Japan will quit fighting until they are DESTROYED. That is going to take time, a lot of time, particularly as far as Japan is concerned. The General believes American troops will be fighting SOME where in the world for four more years at least. After listening to the old boy talk for an hour, we wouldn't put up a silver-plated penny against it. e a e e General X was stationed in the Philippines for five years, and spent one 90-day leave in Nagasaki, Japan. He had a copy of the L. A. "Examiner" at breakfast this morning and called our attention to the dispatch from Pacific Headquarters, that stiff fighting is still going on in Leyte province. "What you don't seem to realize," said the General, "is that there are at least a dozen islands between the Philippines and Australia which are still being held by the Japs, or In which the Japs are still putting up some resistance and how long do you think this sort of condition will continue? Well 1 will tell you what I think, it may be ten years before the Japs are cleared out of the South Pacific, I mean before we can call our boys over there home, ALL of themt 1 "Look at the Islands we have by-passedl "They will have to be invaded one of these days and cleaned up. "Suppose you think New Guinea is all ours. Not by a damn sight. There are probably 5,000 or more in the hills of that Island, Just and enjoy peace and comfort and intend to kill their share of Yanks FIRST. "This Iwo battle should tip you off but probably It hasn't. The place isn't as large as Staten Island, but after three weeks of constant fighting the yellow-bellied monkeys are still holding out. Well count up the islands that are still unconquered, there are literally thousands of them, add to that the Jap armies in China and' Manchuria, and where do you see peace in that section of the world, and whenl" , ' a e e 4 Reading over the above we fear one might get the wrong im pression of General X. He is no defeatist and he is certainly no lover of the Japs. He is a great admirer and personal friend oi General MacArthur, and he regards the record made both on land and sea in the South Pacific by the G.I.'s as nothing short of miraculous. But he DOES think, the American people as a whole, have no realistic conception of the situation either in Europe or the Far East, and your correspondent 75 percent right. (How about you that wager?) Well, Bob Hope followed us around again today, the Medford group we mean John, Harry and RWR, we have a three-some but they don't allow three-somes, so we always have a fourth . The first fourth was a Mr. Coffee of L.A. the "Big Moose" who could hit a ball 343 yards and did ONCE! Then a Mr. Kertz of Fresno, Calif., who at the second hole stripped to his B.V.D.'s and proceeded to hit that little white pill straight for the pin hole after hole, costing ye editor (who teamed up with John) all ol one buck. t i Mr. K. wasn't'much to look at in his B.V.D.'s (not half as muscu lar and magnificent as R. Moore) but how he could bash that pelletl And never hit a Palm tree all the way around. We were rather glad it was merely a one-day appearance for Mr. K.I Today we had a Mr. John Miller of Kansas City, a sub-Freshman from J.T.'s home town who is in the Insurance business. Your correspondent picked John M. as a partner this time, and J. Tomlln and H. H., were our opponents. For once since our arrival here we picked right, Brother Miller shot an 81 and Ye Editor, believe it or notl shot a 91 with a 9 on No. 81 . (We realize this information will not interest 99.99 of our subscribers but that one-tenth of one percent consisting of Messrs. Thorndike, Moore and Schenck, with C. Clay as a supernumerary, it WILL interest. So we hope we may be pardoned for transmit ting the same as a matter of what might be termed, in parliamen, tary language, "personal privilege.") Yes Bob Hope and again the attractive and robust Mrs. Bob, and three or four of the Palm Springs elite (from a golfing stand point) followed the Medford contingent. On the first hole Mrs. Bob's second shot hit the left-hand trap, it takes a good second shot to hit it your correspondent is usually on the green In 3, if he is lucky. One of their caddies (they are rare here as everywhere else) remarked Mrs. B. was not playing "tournament" so he surrep titiously picked the ball out of the tran and teed It im nn hi We can't help but like Bob Hooe nlthnmrh u Hirin't u way he razzed Mrs. Hope on Sunday. But he is a likeable cuss he plays excellent golf, and there is something wholesome and appealing and boyish about him. He struts, he simply can't walk .. vuw way. una wnen ne manes a good shot his chest goes out automatically about four or five Inches, and he does a son of Impromptu Cakewalk he Just can't help ltl But, all In all we think him a very good sort and hope he beats Blng Crosby on Sunday they are playing golf here for a Red Cross hr-n-f if but he probably won't.

Du a, PH. Mn, Calif. si ANTWERP, TARGET Antwerp, March 17 U.R) Antwerp, Europe's greatest port, was attacked almost continuous ly by German V-bombs for four months until the end of January, but supplies poured through its docks to the western front, it may now be revealed. Great areas of the city were devastated as the Germans tried desperately to wipe out the city British pioneer troops and civilian defense workers, many veterans of the German blitz air raids on London, Liverpool and Plymouth, were rushed to Ant werp to aid in its defense. Because of security reasons, many of the details of the attack may not be revealed. It can be said, however, that the attack started early in October and was maintained to Jan. 31. Some of the V-bombs which the Germans prepared for Lon don were believed to have been directed against Antwerp As the city was battered by hundreds of bombs, the Berlin radio boast ed that "if we can't take Ant werp city, we'll make it a port .without a city." Many residents were evac uated as bombs fell on Antwerp and nearby communities. One fell at an Antwerp crossroads during the mid-day rush hour Another fell on a packed motion picture house. , By January, Antwerp was the most blighted city in Belgium, but its port carried on. GET GO'i-G OVER London, March 17 (U.R) More than 2,000 U. S. 8th air force planes and a strong forma tion of R. A. F. heavy bombers blasted five German gasoline oil and benzol plants today in a concentration of allied aerial might upon the enemy's dwind ling Fuel production. Lt. Gen. James Doolittle sent more than 1.300 Fortresses and Liberators, escorted by upwards of 700 fighters, against the eight way rail center of Muenster, a tank factory at Hannover, and three fuel targets. Their longest flight which was the longest of the day, a 1.100- mile round trip, was made to bomb the synthetic oil plant at Ruhland, 27 miles north of Dres den and one of Germany's big gest remaining producers. Ruh land was hit Thursday by Amer ican planes from Italian bases TO HONOR LINER San Francisco, March 17 (U.R) The former Matson luxury liner S. S.

Sprague of Oregon today was on record with a denunciation of at tempts to promote race preju dice through denial to Japanese Americans of their rights to re turn to their former homes on the west coast. j , Sprague was among several speakers at a citizens' committee meeting last night at which he said: "Evacuation of the Japanese from the west coast was a mili tary necessity alone. Now that military authorities declare the emergency has terminated It is not fair to interpose other ob jectives against the Japanese who desire to return to their former homes." Harold S. Fistere of Seattle, northwest area supervisor for the war relocation authority, ap pealed to the citizens of Oregon to assist the government in the difficult task of aiding those Japanese-Americans the War Department has cleared for re location. E Portland, Ore., March 17 (U.R) At 11 o'clock today, all was set for a church wedding between Spencer Jelmberg, 36, of Port land and the girl of his choice.
