Allen now on active service with the Army.) MERRY GO—MOORE U..F WASHINGTON—Not many out- side the White House realize it, but there is little love lost between the President of the United States and his Assistant President, ex- Justice Jimmy Byrnes. In fact, most of the recent recommendations which Byrnes made to Congress for tightening up the war were made without consulting F.D.R. Byrnes mnot only made these recommendations on his own, but announced the fact in a press con- ference. Furthermore, Byrnes flouted one of the standing rules laid down by the White House in this and other Administrations, not to issue policy | recommendations affecting other departments without consulting the departments involved. In his recommendations to Con- gress, the popular South Carolina | jurist abruptly threw all this to the winds. He talked about taxes with- | ou even a whisper of consultation ! with Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, tht man who has to! handle taxes. He let loose on labor strikes| without a word to Chairman of the War Labor Board, Will Davis, the man who has to handle strikes. | He even made a crack, indirectly, against Davis about handling the Petrillos in the same way as the Averys, despite the fact that Byrnes himself had advised Davis| not to crack down on Petrillo when the musicians’ union chief got out of bounds. The result is Morgenthau is Irked, Will Davis is irked, and most of all the President is irked. | | ROOSEVELT’S HANDS TIED However, there isn't much the President can do about it. He persuaded Byrnes to remain on the job as war mobilizer after the Na- tional Democratic Convention in Chicago when Jimmy's feelings were hurt over the Vice-Presiden- tial turn-down. He also went over Byrnes' head to pick Stettinius as Secretary of State when Jimmy | thought he was going to get the No. 1 Cabinet post. So Jimmy, being one of the shrewdest men in Washington, knows F.DR. can’t fire him, and it looks as though he was going to throw his weight around. Almost every observer who watches Washington work feels it is an excellent thing to. have a No. 2 man around the White House to handle domestic problems—pro- vided he is pulling together with the President. The President, con- centrating on the war and foreign relations, now as never before Byrnes is able, astute, influential. The trouble is, however, Cabinet members are not quite sure at the moment whether Byrnes, when he makes vcertain moves, is réally representing ‘the President.

MacARTHUR'S HEAD- QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP- PINES, Jan. 13—Sixth Army yanks captured five highway junctions at San Carlos Friday as they punched forward in force at points 12 miles from their beachheads along the main roads leading to Manila and nearing apparent de- fense centers. General Douglas MacArthur's’ communique said today, “Our drive southward from the Lingayen Gulf has continued unchecked,” But it mentiened more stiff fighting on the left flank and declared, “In- creasing enemy contacts indicate that forward units are entering the zone of enemy concentrations.” North American war planes, low strafing assaults on motor columns, destroyed more than 200 vehicles, five tanks, many loco- motives and 40 freight cars. They wiped out 46 small Japa- nese freighters and one large transport attempting to unload at San Fernando. The port, 45 miles north of the Yank beach- head, was erased by naval units and torpedo bombers. The tor- pedo planes attacked at dawn Thursday, but were driven off by intense anti-aircraft fire.
