Walls of Gunfire
The explanation is clear Anti
aircraft tire lrom a small prepaid
rocky fort apparently can make ii
impregnable The looky forma
tions permit building of safe bomb
shelters, beyond reach of the
thousand-pounders.
Large 3-inch anti-aircraft guns
can erect impenetrable walls <»t
fire in a defensive circle above the
fort. The bombers arc thus torced
so high their chance of hittin
their target is virtually nil. and
most of their bombs are wasted.
Unfortunately. shq>s at sea and
cities cannot maintain such de
fenses Only the larger ships can
carry three-inch A-As and then
aim is hindered by the rocking of
the vessels. Cities have their valu
ables above ground and aie gen
crally built on earth where bomb
shelters 60 feet deep would be
needed for such complete pro
tection
Lesson From Reds
Communiques have been speak
ing tersely of night assaults by
the Jnps against Wairtwright’s line
in Bataan, hinting at a new wrin
kle in warfare, stolen from the
Russian l>ook.
There are new wrinkles, but not
very well pressed. As the Japs
use them, they are .mst glorified
raids against outposts, organized
more extensively than usual, so
they can employ artillery and mor
tars in the dark.
In preparation for the night at
tack, aerial photographs are made
of certain American positions. The
guns are set and when darkness
falls they blaze away at ihe fixed
invisible point.
Generally this night artillery
barrage prepares the way for in
fantry assault against machine
gun nests, the locations of which
are plotted out on paper in day
light.
Confused Fighting
Fortunately, most of Bataan is
a jungle so deep and dark it can
hardly be penetrated in daylight.
The Japs, therefore, have concen
trated their night attacks gener
ally on the Abucay plain, an open,
level space near the east end of
Wainwright’s line, where a stream
lalls into rice paddies.
WainwT>;ht dors the same thing
to the Japs, but only as far as his
daytime vision permits planning
because he has no aerial recon
naisance
Fighting grnc r a 11 y is three
fourths confusion, but ;it night it
is nine-tenths melee. Results to
date testify to its ineffectiveness
*o far.
About the only thing really new
that Yamashita has done in ihe
way of general strategy is to slop
iho sneak flank infiltration lai
ties of Ilomma.
Cuf Food in Germany
The .Taps won Malaya with these
primarily and are trying them now
with great success in Burma
Uomma tried them only once nr
twice and they led to his suicide
Pr*sibly Yamashita is putting them
off until las-t
The way MacArthur broke them
up was to attack, not th» intil
traters but the hn* m hi< Iron*,
something the British and riune-.
have not tried in Malaya or
Burma.

.11 DGK ARTHUR J. ROOKS (RIGHT) WITH PIT’. JOHN PISARKIEWICZ
Judge Rooks, the founder (in 1937 1 of
♦ lie Boys’ Athletic Club of Hamtramck,
letting a club member, I’fc. Pisarkiewicz,
By F,. -IF.KOMF. PFTTIT
An outstanding example of the
war effort of various youth organ
izations in the Detroit area is seen
in the activities of tho Boys’ Ath
letic Club of Hamtramck. which
has sent some 2(H) of its 800 mem
bers into the armed service within
the last 18 months.
One us these former club mem
bers, Second Lieut. William Gard
ner. has been killed in action.
Gardner was in a flying fortress
shot down by the Japs over the
Par.fie.
One of thr* idols of younger
members of the club, Gardner was
-formerly active in ihe marathon
walk movement and a year ago
was in charge of the walk contest.
Another club member. William
Mi halo, won the National AAU
walking championship only last
vv'eek.
Leader in Air Service
The club's former Seoul master,
John Jeske, is now an Air Corps
mechanic stationed at Las Vegas,
Nev. Since his departure he has
sent weekly let teres of instruction
<*nno( rning the club's troop, No.
.'177. His successor. John Jolonek,
loaves next week to join ihe army.
Jeske was in the party of army
men which recovered the bodies
of Uarolo Lombard and other v ir
tiruv after tin* Nevada plane crash.
In addition lo the Boy Scout,
Red Gross, defense stamp work
and other patriotic activities of
the club's membership, the organ
ization is assisting in the war
effort through Ihe loan of its
headouarters at 2951 CanifT ave
nue to various defense groups.
The flub is being used ns 11am
tmonk's Red Cross headquarters
and also for air raid warden
mrU ings.
This is especially significant
since the club lost Us former quar
ters several years ago and bad n
1 niggle obtaining funds lo build
its own home.
Tribute to Judge
Tis success in this respect as
well as the club’s phenomenal
growth since its founding in 1937
is a personal tribute lo .fudge
Arthur J. Ropks. who started the
organization and has been its
guiding genius since.
Rooks, a Hamtramrk justice of
Ii ish-Englisb descent who has
spent his entire life in the Polish
community, has long taken an
interest in youth movements. A
former Hamtramck High School
.athlete, he was a leader in estab
lishment of the city’s first recrea
tion department and sjKmsor of a
number of athletic teams of na
tional prominence.
Tin* club is ojK’it to boys 12 to
25 years old tc* provide them a
wholesome recreational out let.
Senior members formerly paid 5
cents a month dues, but with most
of the seniors now in the army or
navy, the club is supported largely
by private contribution.
SSOO Given Club
When the club faced ils finan
cial crisis in 193 K the inmates of
Jackson Prison raised nearly SSOO
for the club after ihe prison nows
napt i The Spectator, reprinted a
Detroit Times story concerning the
club*, work in rejuvenating first
offenders attempting to adjust
themselves in society.
The club has established an out
standing athletic record, furnish
ing championship teams in softball,
basketball, weight lifting, mar
athon walk and ping pong. The
entire line of lasr year’s Ham
tiamck High School football team
were once junior members of the
club.
Despite i*s accent on athletic
prowess, however. ihF club has
won a national reputation for the
number of its members who have
gone out into the world to estab
■ Jish records in ihe game nf life.
I Many members of the current
*l!amtramck fire and imlice de
partments were once members of
i the club and many of the com
munity’s leading business and pro-
F fesMonal men had their start under
■ Judge Rooks’ kindly lutelage.
i Dr. Joseph iJakiel Stabmek is
. remembered at tin* club for his
. all-around athletic ability. The
world now knows bint. 1 hough lie
