PLANBIG BOMBING OF JAPAN Gen. George C Marshall Gives Indication of Su- E preme Attack Be Made | WASHINGTON, May 26—Japan | in the n vear will be the target of more than twice as many bombs as fell on Germany during the last months House Appropriations Committee members this- disclosure to- day after a closed-door session with Gen. George C. Marshall The Chief of Staff met with the committee yesterday to lay the groundwork for the War Depart- | ment’s appropriation bill for the| fiscal year starting July 1. | “You can say that in the coming | year, more than two and a half| times as many tons of bombs will| be dropped on Japan as the Allies dropped in Europe this (fiscal) | year,” Rep. J. Buell Snyder, (D, | Pa.) told a reporter after the! meeting. Snyder is chairman of the sub-committee sidering Army finances. While he overall made Snyder would not discuss | nature of Gen. Mar- shall's testimony, other committee members said privately they left the session with these impressions: The war against Japan will be! longer and tougher than is [.;en-I erally expected. There will be in War Department next year. There soon may be another q\alp reduction in the size of the Army. Style Note From Guam no big reduction expenditures | By Marine Pfc. J. M. Purcell GUAM—For all (h(‘lr shrewd and | nny reputation, the Japanese, when ingratiating themselves with the women, are about as subtle as ‘Banzai”’ attack Long before enemy occupation of this island, the women of Guam, au| of whom claim a native, flashing beauty, were incorrigibly American. thought American, acted| American, spoke American—except for a trace of Chamorro mngueAdnd‘ even indulged in envicus gossip .mdv glances when the gal in the ne'(ll grass hut broke out with a new ad- dition to her wardrobe.

It began with some sort of gibber- ish that the emperor frowned on| lcud American colors and styles and ended with the suggestion that the Guamanian women conform to a more conservative Japanese dress— or else. And that is where the Japanese made their first mistake—discount- ing, of course, the military sagacity of coming to Guam in the first place, Their popularity with the native ! women, which was nil at the be- ginning, sank to a new low, and a campaign was started to outwit the| tiny Oriental—sartorially speaking. Instead of disposing of their sty- lish Occidental garments as their masters ordered, the women of| Guam wrapped them in bundles and | put them away in secret hiding places. Cosmetics of all types, silk stock- ings and undergarments were placed | in boxes and concealed from the! prying Japanese. The clothes came to be looked up- cn as priceless items of morale and the women were determined to keep them at all cost ‘Today the Japanese are gone, and although the women have lost much due to the necessary ravages of war, | their homes blasted and their fer tile fields gouged and pocked by shell fire, Guam nevertheless is a colorful place. | Everywhere native women are| turning cut in a riot of color, their | faces generously powdered and rouged, in a victorious gesture to the West. | And red, white, and blue is the! popular cclor combination - eee PANIC IN PANTS | GREAT FALLS, Mont.—A shop- lifter grabbed a pair of trousers from a store counter, eluded police and sprinted down the alley and through another store—where he left | the pants.
