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.

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.

London, March 17 (U.R)

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

EX-GOV. SPRAGUE
FLAYS ANTI-JAP
Gresham, Ore., March 17
(U.R) Former Gov. Charles A.
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)

of his to-be bride, but the long
arms of the law waiting tor him
Detectives Eichenberger and
York of the Portland police de
partment arrested Jelmberg on
a charge of assault while armed
with a dangerous weapon and in
tent to rob.
Jelmberg readily admitted to
attempting to rob Torvold Gul-
likson. proprietor of a Portland
grocery, and produced a piece of
lead shaped like "brass knuck
les" with which he struck Gul
likson. SECURITY PARLEY
