MacARTHUR-KIRK DUEL
WASHINGTON.—In a highly se
cret session before the senate mili
tary affairs committee last Thurs
day, Gen. George Marshall, army
chief of staff, refused to guess when
the end of the war with Germany*
will come. According to all logic, he
said, the German resistance should
be at an end now, but there is no
sign that the army is collapsing. The
Gestapo still retains its hold of ter
ror on Germany.
Marshal] pointed out that German
gasoline stocks are practically dried
up, and that the Nazis do not have
enough fuel to move their supplies,
let alone their armored vehicles and
artillery. On the other hand, he
said, their supply problem is far
simpler than ours because they are
fighting at home. Their repair and
replacement job for tanks and other
vehicles is also comparatively sim
ple. When Allied armor is knocked
out, it means that it is lost if the
damage is too much for the field re
pair bases, while a Nazi tank which
has suffered far more serious dam
age can be taken right into a tank
factory not so many miles from
where it was hit. This is a tremen
dous advantage, he said.
The chief of staff also told the
senators that it is a mistake to
figure that the Japs will fold up
quickly once Germany is ont of
the war. Although its losses
have been heavy, Japan still has
a formidable army and vast
stores of supplies. He would not
estimate the length of time need
ed to defeat the island empire.
But he insisted it would be ex
tremely tough going.
Marshall said nothing during this
session about his plan to take over
as supreme commander in the Pa
cific once Germany falls, but mem
bers of the committee now take that
for granted.
Explanation?
General MacArthur’s army friends
in Washington have a unique explan
ation for his refusal to let Maj. Gen.
Norman Kirk, surgeon general of
the army, visit Manila on his recent
inspection t. 'ur. They say private
ly that no suitable housing was
available for General Kirk. One
MacArthur supporter, who is famil
iar with the Kirk incident, added,
“When you are a five-star general,
you don’t have to give an explana
tion for what you do.”
Further details of General Mac
Arthur’s refusal to let General Kirk
touch foot even on the Island of
Luzon in order to inspect army hos
pitals there have now leaked out.
Kirk, as head of the army medical
corps, arrived in Leyte with a staff
of medical experts ready to place
them in strategic positions in Luzon
where fighting was heavy at that
time.
As a courtesy to MacArthur,
Kirk radioed him from Leyte
island that he was coming. He
received in reply a message
saying that his presence was not
needed.
Scarcely believing his eyes.
General Kirk gave MacArthur a
chance to ebange his mind by
sending another telegram which
said in substance: “Don’t under
stand your message. Do yon
mean by your telegram number
so-and-so that my assistance is
not welcome?”
General MacArthnr’s reply
was brief and to the point. It
read: “No, repeat no.”
Kirk then got in his plane,
boiling mad, and came home.
Note—The war department for
some time has been split into the
pro-MacArthur and the anti-MacAr-
thur schools. Many of the general’s
own contemporaries don’t like him,
feel that he has never given suf
ficient credit to men who bore the
brunt of the Pacific fighting such
as General Krueger, Eichelberger,
Kenney, Arnold and others. They also
resent the fact that news dispatches
from the Pacific must bear the date
line “General MacArthur’s head
quarters,” and point out that in con
trast Eisenhower requires no such
date line and has given much credit
to Generals Patton, Hodges, Simp
son, Patch, and Devers, all of whom
are well known to the public, where
as few know the names of the gen
erals commanding MacArthur’s
armies.

Here is one story as to how Amer
ican troops managed to capture the
important Ludendorf bridge across
the Rhine. A group of anti-Nazi stu
dents are reported to have been
quietly organizing in the Rhine val
ley, and secretly joined Hitler’s
Elite guard, the “Schutz staffel” in
1942 where they have been boring
from within ever since. It was this
group that is reported to have tipped
off the American command that the
Remagen bridge would be intact.

EUROPEAN DEATH TOLL
One thing Joseph Stalin pointed
out to Roosevelt and Churchill that
greatly impressed them at Yalta
was the terrific toll the Nazis had
exacted from the people of Europe.
One-seventh of Poland’s popula
tion has been destroyed by the
Nazis, Stalin said a preliminary in
vestigation disclosed.
Stalin also pointed out that Hit
ler had won a tremendous victory
over the Allies by permanently frus
trating the birth of some 10,000,000
in conquered countries.
Ruin of War Making Delayed Visit to Germany
The result of the Allied bombardment of Cologne, Germany, is shown by photograph at right. Bonn, the
birthplace of Beethoven, also meets the fate of other German cities, as shown at left, as American troops
advance throngh the city. Inset shows the bombed Adolf Hitler bridge across the Rhine at Uerdingen, Ger
many, Reports indicate that all cities in path of advancing Allies are in complete rains.
Policemen Attend School to Become Stork’s Aides
The job of protecting the citizens of their commnnities seems to be an ever expanding one for members
of the police force of Nassau county. New York, who have been indoctrinated ms obstetricians by Hie public
health nurses. Now they know just when and how to drop the argyrol into the new-born’s eyes, how to keep
the infant from strangulation, how to handle the nmbilical cord problem.
Army Bridges Around the World
The original hiidge shown in upper photograph was demolished by
bombers of the U. S. army 10th air force since the Japs eaptured Burma
road in 1942. Pontoon bridge is erected as the Allied offensive nears the
key Japanese supply terminus of the road. Lower, shows tracks cross

New Dies’ Counsel
Attorney Ernie Adamson of Pitts
burgh, who has been named as chief
connsel for the house committee on
un-American activities. He former
ly practiced law in New York City.
Adamson will assume his new duties
immediately, on part time basis.
Notes of an Innocent Bystander:
When Lowell Mellett, former aide
to FDR, was asked why the Presi
dent is a great executive, Mellett
said: “Because he is never too busy
| to work!” . . . Add towns you should
! be glad you didn’t name: Rising
| Sun, Ind. . . . John B. Kennedy,
the news commentator, says now
| that the Nazi prisoners of war over
I here got their own newspaper—the
next thing they’ll probably demand
will be pensions!
Sudden Thawt: Say! Could
the war department’s request
for Mr. Byrnes’ curfew be a
move to offset the war’s inter
ference with the birth rate?
. . . When one night clubman
griped about “his investments”
a newspaperman said: “This is
a total war—meaning total for
everyone and everything. This
is your part in the war—to sacri
fice more than others. For some
people the war means to go
blind. For others—to go broke.
Which would yon rather?”
Congressman Dickstein aimed a
well-deserved blast at Rankin. 'Die
chip on Congressman Rankin’s
shoulder—is a cinder in the public
eye. . . . The Allied War 'Crimes:
commission announced that Hitler 1
and company would be tried for
their war crimes. It is about time!
To repeat a query: But what is
holding up the trial of Hess?
Sec’y of Commerce H. Wallace
will be named “Man of the Year”
by the Churchman at its annual ban
quet. Willkie and Baruch were so
honored.
What we’d appreciate learning
from Justice Byrnes is what he
has done about the defiant Wash
ington, D. C., stay-up-late joint
which (at last reports) remains
open all night? . . . That Toledo
theatre manager who kept open
all night, too, what about him?
Can’t he he drafted to help pick .
up the wounded and dead?
General Patton, so the story goes,
was holding a meeting with his
staff officers when the telephone
rang. . . . Thinking it was a friend,
the voice art the other end of the
wire inquired, “Hello, is that you—
you old sonovabee?”
Undisturbed, Pattp- 1 joked around
the room and then spoke into the
phone. “Which sonovabee do you
want?” he inquired.
<
Strange Bedfellows: John L. Lew
is, Sewell Avery and Fiorello La
Guardia — Americans who defied
their government during the war.
. . . One wag recently remarked:
“Now that the war dep’t has stepped
into the curfew controversy, the
Little Flower of New York hasn’t a
pot to bloom in.” . . . Telegram from
Miami Beach: “What those maga
zines (which rapped Miami Beach)
neglected to add was that since De
cember 7, 1941, Miami Beach grace
fully cooperated with a midnight
curfew. But it was your mayor who
was first to violate it. Have you any
comment to make about that?”
Taking the words out>of our may
or’s mouth, he once confessed:
“When I make a mistake—it’s a
beaut!”
When General Eisenhower vis
ited Paris after its liberation, he
and several officers inspected
the Eiffel Tower. ... At the
top, Eisenhower leaned over the
rail and viewed the city. . . .
After a silence of several min
utes an aide said: “A penny
for your thoughts, general.” . . .
Eisenhower, visibly impressed,
turned and said: “Isn’t this a
wonderful place to hang Adolf?”
The story in the gazettes that new
motor cars may be nameless (after
V-E Day) appeared here on July 10,
1944. Mr. Krug is quoted as saying
“it is very possible.” . . . Draft
boards have been instructed to order
all “swishes” • (now classified 4-F)
into defense factories as file clerks,
etc. Some Broadway musical shows
will suffer most.
Big Top Will Soon Be in Town
Things are looking up for the big shows as pretty Juanita Deisler
and Paul Jerome relax for a moment between rehearsals on the flying
trapeze. The circus begins its annual springtime engagement at Madison
Square Garden, and after May 20, Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey
make a tour of cities ef America.
David Lloyd George, 82, Britain’s
leader in World War I, died recent
ly at his home in Wales. He was
former prime minister of England,
54 years in Commons, and recently
became an earl.
Before his death A. Woolcott as
signed his royalties from the sales
of his book, “As You Were,” to care
for seamen throughout the world. To
date United Seamen’s service re
ceived $10,778 from the late author’s
royalties. . . . Lt. Roland Hill (he
was Archbishop Spellman’s sec’y in
Algiers) is the first G.I. to run for
public cffice. Has a good chance to
be elected mayor of Minneapolis,
pals report. He went overseas as a
private, and General Eisenhower
promoted him with bars made from
Spam cans because no lieutenant
bars were available in the field.
Recently we mentioned that the
war manpower drive in Newark was
a big flop. . . . We got our data
from the war department, a pretty
good source, don’t you think? . . .
But Newark officials and news
papers (and the mayor there)
spanked our wrists for the report.
. . . So wot? So nothing! New York
papers confirmed it (many weeks
later) as usual. . . . You probably
heard of the Boston blueblood who
saw “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”
and then told friends that it was a
story "about American peasants”!
