WASHINGTON, March 4. -(P)-
Sweeping over the mountains of
Bataan in a sudden attack that
caught the Japanese completely off
guard, the small air force of Gen.
Douglas MacArthur destroyed over
30,000 tons of enemy shipping and
set supply concentrations afire at
Subic Bay, the War Department an-
nounced today.
Heavy explosions occurred after
fires were started on the docks at
Olongapo and Grande Island, in-
dicating that ammunition dumps
were destroyed in the swift raid.
Ships Destroyed
A morning communique declared
that one ship of 10,000 tons, another
of 8,000 tons and two motor launches
"of 100 tons each were destroyed, and
many smaller vessels damaged,
Later in the day another com-
munique, based on further informa-
tion, added a 12,000-ton vessel to the
toll, thus emphasizing the smashing
nature of the raid.
Subic Bay lies just north of Bataan
Peninsula not more than 15. miles
from the front lines of MacArthur's
BULLETIN-
NEW YORK, March 4. -()-
Thirty planes, their nationality
not specified, have raided Minami
Torishima Island in the Bonin
Group about mid-way between
Guam and the Japanese main-
land, the Tokyo radio said to-
night in a broadcast heard by
CBS. The broadcast identified the
islandf as 'tie most remo1o a~ °tie
Bonin Group southeast of Tokyo,
and acknowledged that one build-
ing was destroyed and eight casu-
alties suffered. Seven of the raid-
ers were shot down, Tokyo said.
ground forces. Grande Island is at
the entrance of the bay and Olonga-
po, formerly a United States Naval
Station, on the southern shore.
Since MacArthur completed the
withdrawal of his forces into the na-
tural fortress of Bataan, where for
1nore than a month he has stopped
all efforts of the Japanese to ad-
vance, the enemy has used Subic Bay
as a terminal for landing troops and
supplies.
Convoy Arrives
On February 18 the Army reported
the arrival of a fairly large convoy
of transports at Olongapo, bringing
reinforcements to the already huge
Japanese forces on the Island of Lu-
zon. Subic Bay was also the scene
of two daring raids against Japanese
shipping by motor torpedo boats.
The exact size and composition of
the remnants of an air force still
operating with MacArthur has never
been disclosed. It was believed, how-
ever, to consist largely of pursuit
planes of the Curtiss P-40 type,
known to the British as Tomahawks,
MacArthur has used them largely for
observation purposes, avoiding com-
bat with the overwhelming superior-
ity of the Japanese.

Thousands' Of Men
Brought To Ulster
With U.S. Troops in Northern Ire-
land, March 4. --(P)- The arrival in
Northern Ireland of a second con-
tingent of U.S. troops, numbering in
the thousands with full field equip-
ment and their guns ready, was an-
nounced today after all had been
safely disembarked and scattered to
posts thoughout Ulster's six counties.
(The new American contingent
was described in London as being
larger than the first. Washington
announced the arrival only briefly,
withholding details.)
This second contingent, reaching
here a little more than a month after
arrival of the first, was, like it, com-
posed mostly of Mid-Westerners who
for the past year had been trained
in Southern camps in the United
States.
The commander of the force is
a white-haired colonel from the Mid-
dle West; and the first man in the

Coliseum in the first tilt of a two-
game series.
In the wild battle with Minnesota
last Saturday, Goldie cracked against
the boards late in the final period
and spent the remaining minutes on
the bench watching his teammates
fight a losing cause. The injury, sim-
ilar to that which versatile Frank
McCarthy incurred in the Pittsburgh
track meet, put Goldsmith on the in-
active list. Yesterday the lanky cap-
tain was put away for good when the
rapidly growing measles epidemic
added another to its toll.
With his big captain on the sick
list, Coach Eddie Lowrey will be
forced to revamp his first and second
lines. The first trio to see compe-
tition looks to have Bob Kemp and
Roy Bradley on the wings, with Max
Bahrych in the center slot. Kemp
has seen Varsity action only since
the start of the second semester, but
he has been rapidly rounding into
shape. Bradley has brought himself
up from an uncertain position earlier
in the season to a regular on the
team.
The defense, which remains in-
tact, finds Johnny Gillis and Ed

Located between Ypsilanti and
Belleville south of Ford Lake, the
model city "that impressed Mr. De-
lano when he saw pictures of it" is
designed to be a permanent com-
munity which will guarantee no ghost
town after the boom is over at the
Willow Run bomber plant.
It is situated on flat ground and is
so arranged that it can be speedily
constructed with a maximum of effi-
ciency. At the same 9me, its loca-
tion assures an easy access to the
bomber plant and reduces the traffic
congestion problem to an every-day
affair.
Bomber City is laid out within a
radius of three miles from the plant
where the powerful B-24 bombers are
scheduled soon to roll off the assem-
bly lines. On the southernmost tip,
the Wabash Railroad extends diagon-
ally upward and forms a triangle
just outside of the city.

All the houses-10,000 of them -i

cost of less than $5,000 per unit and
they will be built to Federal Hous-
ing Authority standards. With the
servicing included, this economically-
planned community will carry a
price-tag of fifty-million dollars.
Most of the units are Row houses,
with party walls separating Mr. Jones
and his family from the next-door
neighbor. The ground floor of every
house will contain hall, living room,
kitchen, dining room, bathroom fully
equipped and closets. The second
floor will have space for bathroom

1'".11" e a c e ure ul
For Permanent l'e'ace
By BUD BRIMMER
Complete abolition of war and the
relegation of nations to the status of
individuals in a well-ordered society
were the basic features of a post-war
international order which Prof. Pres-
ton Slosson of the history depart-
ment propounded before a student-
faculty audience yesterday in the first
of the Union-sponsored war forums.
Emphasizing the urgency for the
Allied peoples to prepare their minds
for receiving new and broader prin-
ciples which will makefor a lasting
peace, Professor Slosson proposed
under his topic, "Winning the Peace."
a system of collective security. This
plan included an international tri-
bunal representative of the world
which would be able to decisively
settle disputes and enforce its de-
cisions by all-out war.
Also, in this speech which was pre-
'liminary to a general audience dis-
cussion, the war-analyzing professor
included an indictment of neutrality
as well as an investigation of such
issues as disarmament, the drawing
up of new boundaries, and the inter-
nationalization of the colonial world.
Regarding neutrality, he bitterly
condemned it as "intolerable in the
post-war world inasmuch as it has
failed in every instance during the
last 20 years."
"There must be po part of the
world where a bill of rights does not
exist," said Professor Slosson as he
denounced the dictatorships for be-
ing conspiracies to wage war and
went on to advocate complete free
trade in the colonies of the world.
Following the talk was a period of
questions and answers in which the
audience raised difficult problems of
minority rights.
Although this forum was an experi-
ment in the clarification of war issues
for the students, said Robert Temp-
lin, '43, who is in charge of the Un-
ion project, its results were encour-
aging enough so that more forums
will be had in the near future.

An official report also said that the
Red army driving westward on 'the
central front toward Smolensk had
broken into an important German
defense zone.
"Two regiment headquarters of
this division were smashed," the re-
port said in supplementing the regu-
lar midnight communique.
"Prisoners and rich spoils were
taken."
The Red Army was reported to
have destroyed some 50 German po-
sitions in the Leningrad area in the
unceasing campaign to free com-
pletely that long-besieged Baltic city.
In the continuing battle in the
Smolensk area, the Russians said a
small group of guerrillas destroyed
two German arms and munitions
dumps, destroyed nine trucks in at-
tacks on behind-the-lines supply
convoys, and cut 3,000 feet of tele-
phone wires.
(The German High Command,
claiming Russian attacks in the
northern and central sectors were
"without success," said Red Army
men trying to break Nazi siege lines
on the Sevastopol front in the Crimea
were annihilated and that Russian
cavalry made a vain assault in the
Donets Basin.)

of the psychology' department
clTarged yesterday that such a pro-
gram would lower morale in the
armed forces by making the men
"cynical of our entire war effort."

fessor Shepard emphasized that "the
men in the armed forces need, more
than anything else, a critical under-
standing of the basic issues of the
present struggle."
Although he strongly objected to
the proposed "fake psychology train-
ing, Shepard admitted that there is
a need for some sort of lecture pro-
gram in Army and Navy camps, for
"too many of the soldiers and sailors
are in a daze as to just what we are
fighting for."
