Thomas Leigh Gatch believes the Japan ese navy is getting "scared to fight" and that American ships soon will DC in me rnuippincs, but he doesn't look for an early defeat of Japan. The navy's judge - advocate perioral, who is captain of the battleship South Dakota was awarded tne navy iross auer the battle of the Santa Cruz is lands in which his crew shot down 32 Japanese planes while protecting an aircratt carrier, said in an interview yesterday: "The odds are even longer in our favor now than they were against us at the battle of Guad alcanal, and the Japs don't seem to like to fight against the odds. "But even if thev don't stand up against us at sea, we have a long way to go to get them as completely defeated as we'd like to fix them, or all this even tually will have to be done : over. . . . '.'I think we'll be in Manila bay before so ery much longer. If we'll have to do much to get there, I don't know. It looks to me like the Japs are getting scared .to iignt. . Adm. Gatcn, twice wounded in South Pacific naval engage ments, said ne joined tne navy one night in his youth. "I was awakened in bed it seemed like midnight to me. The Salem town band was playing a . piece . of music in our living room, my father being the mayor. The band was celebrat ing the news of Dewey's victory in Manila bay. I think on that occasion I joined the navy." The admiral arrived here Sat urday night with his wife and it. William Whittington Jr., his aide. They inspected shipyards Sunday, were guests at a lunch eon, with navy and army offi cers, and had dinner with ex Governor Oswald West, who taught young "Tam"' Gatch to hunt, fish and- ride. Adm.

So, you see, It Can Be Done! The big nation and the smaller one CAN live 'side by side in peace.

While no decision has been reached as to whether the plan will be put into effect, it was learned today that it involves granting gasoline for a maxi mum of 825 miles of driving - a month to "B" . motorists any where in the country "whose in- course-of-work driving is consid ered highly important to the war effort. At present the "B" ceiling is 325 miles monthly on the east coast, 400 miles on the west coast and 475 miles in the rest of the country. An OPA spokesman said the reports the agency is consider ing a general boost in the "B" ceiling to Bzo miles a . month were "fantastic." The increase, it was under stood, would be given only so called hardship cases, where "B" drivers are hampered in their work because of the present ceil ings. For example, salesmen are held at present to the "B" ceil ing. Under the plan being stud ied, salesmen whose technical knowledge is considered essen tial to the efficient operation of a war plan might qualify for a larger ration. On the other hand, the plan calls for cutting back to a maxi mum oi U3 miles of driving monthly the "C" book rations granted to motorists whose es sentiality is considered on the border line. At present there is no ceiling on "C" rations. Informed sources said that any adjustment of either "B" or "C" rations would affect only a rela tively few motorists.
