...legend, Draja Mihailovich will unquestionably live as long as World War II is remembered. How long Draja Mi-hailovich himself will live is highly problematical. Like the heroes of Bataan, the guerrillas of Sumadija cannot be expected to fight forever without reinforcements at least of ammunition and food. Yet the only way these can be furnished at present is by parachute. Both the Russians and British are said to have dropped small amounts.

Skeleton-thin (760 mi. long, 30 to 150 mi. wide) Baja California, like the west coast of Mexico proper, has no adequate Pacific defenses. Its once bootleg-whiskey-rich northern town of Ensenada is a scant 8 1 motor miles from the U.S. naval base at San Diego. The area is extremely vulnerable, despite its deserts and mountains...
