Out of the kitchen into the
war have come many inven
tions to speed production of
vital war materials. Here
are a few feminine bottleneck
breakers at work:

KITCHEN MECHANIC: Glo
ria Pallato has saved thous
ands of radio crystals for the
RCA Victor plant in Camden,
N. J„ by using nutpicks instead
of fingers to slip on gaskets,
just as she once applied fruit
jar rings. Before Gloria's sug
gestion, many crystals were
ruined.
CAKE-ICER: It speeds bomb
er production at Gurtiss
W right plant, Columbus, O.

ed it to spread metal paste.

her kitchen stove.
ANGAUR IS
TANGLE OF

I ABOARD A COAST GUARD
ASSAULT TRANSPORT AT
ANQAUR, PALAU ISLANDS—
(Delayed)—Jottings from a Coast
Guard combat correspondent’s
notebook as the Army’s 81st Di-j
vision hits this strategic pin- J
point on the Pacific war map.
“We’re approaching the beach,
in an early wave . . . wondering
if it will be like Saipan, with all
that mortar fire. Our navy ships
and planes have Just laid down
a magnificent barrage ... I
know what they mean now when
they say the Japs are catching
hell,” remarks an oil-smeared
machine gunner alongside me as
he shifts the weight of a bando_
lier of cartridges to his other
shoulder. ‘I’d be so damn scared,’
chimed in a sergeant from Illi
nois, ‘I’d run right back to Tok
yo.’
“A few minutes later we grind
to a stop on top of a coral ledge
in the surf. Because I’m out
board I’m the first over the side,
and right over my head in a
hole . . . ruined camera and
other gear. Now everyone has
sought cover behind a stone
barricade atop a tank trap . . .
not many of our men on beach
i yet . . . mortar goes off on our
' right and another on left ... no
one hurt; no more fire now, ex
cept for occasional sniper’s bul
let .. . boys alert but calm . .
wasn’t as bad as they expected.
They’: e coming in by the hun
dreds now . . . bulldozers arriv
ing , . . demolition squads blast
ed holes through tadge so tanks
and ’dozers can get to the tangl
ed upland . . . beach rocky and
covered with debris from shell
ing. What a desolate spot! Where
are the Japs? Everyone thinks
there’s one up every tree and be
hind every ledge, biding their
time. Why don’t they fire?
A GI limps over to sit on a
twised stump near me. He is
dragging his leg . . sprained an
kle coming ashore . . . treacher
ous footing. Another fellow
comes up with a bloodstained
bandage over his right hand . . .
ran bayonet through it. ‘They
told me to wait for the medics
he growled. ‘Wonder when
they’re coming, next week?’
“The doughboys have just kill,
ed three Japs coming out of a
foxhole. One is an officer. Be
side him lies one of our own
boys killed by machine-gun fire.
Two are beating the ground
with their fists as corpsmen run
up to dress bullet holes in their
legs ... an officer from Ala
bama and his radioman are di
recting advance from inside a
giant bunyan tree . . . planes
bombing and strafing cliff 100
yards away, across a gorge. They
think there are Japs under the
cliff.
A Coast Guard landing craft
moves in close to the beach as
the lieutenant spots their fire
into the mouth of the cave.
“Japs have just counter-at
tacked. Some of them came out
of that cave we tried to plug
up . ‘. . we lost some men, but
got about 40 Japs . . . used star
shells as they tried to infiltrate
. . . hard to see them, but can
hear them knocking grenades
against helmets to break pins
before they toss ’em.
“What an incredible tangle of
brush and caves . . . some of
them, are labyrinthed with pass
es 200 yards long. Japs scur
ry from on°r end to the othe
. . . may pop out at any one of
a half dozen outlets ... a sol
dier waits until smoke from a
grenade clears from a foxhole,
climbs in over dead bodies to %
investigate . . . plenty of guts,
that guy! We hear another ex
plosion ... he backs out feet
feet first. “There was a -
sitting around a bend holding a
pistol,’ he gasps, wiping smoke
out of his tear-filled eyes. I
threw a grenade and got the »
hell out.’ The lieutenant passes
the word that as soon as they
can get the bulldozers up there
to hole up the opening . . . just
to be sure no ‘dead’ Japs crawl
out that night.”
