...other members of the TIME & LIFE News Bureau already on hand at General Stilwell's mission-house headquarters-Correspondent Clare Boothe and Photographer George Rodger-so he decided to keep on going, borrowed a jeep and a Tommy gun and jolted his way south into the bloody Jap-trap at Yenangyaung. (It's a habit with him; he's been in the thick of the fighting of almost every critical campaign since China was invaded...
Belden's great advantage was that he spoke Chinese as fluently as English and consequently could go more places and hear more things than any other newsman in Burma. He took down the stories of Chinese officers and soldiers in range of the Jap guns -and when he came up with the British he pitched in and helped them dynamite the second biggest bridge in the Far East-and destroy their oil fields and refineries.

S. forces of some nearby islands that would rise above water on the next...
...lack of voters yesterday was probably due less to apathy than to lack of foresight. People love to read that three Jap planes were shot down, so they buy War Bonds. But they may be overlooking how, where, and when their money is being used. If we don't use the right to vote, which we are fighting to keep, and use it conscientiously, all the War Bonds in the world will be a poor weapon...
