ALL. Workers Captured.
The American Federation OF Labor
announced that the Navy had
notified it that more than 1000
members of its building trades
unions had been taken prisoner by
the japanese when Midway and
Guam were captured by the enemy.
The A. F. L. said it was informed
that TOO Of the workers, mostly taken
from California to work on Army
and Navy base construction, were
captured at Midway and 400 at
Guam. However. at 1:30 pm, the
Postal Telegraph reported it was
working Midway without Interrupt
ton and the Navy Department was
inclined to think there was some
mistake about the announcement.
1t said the Navy estimated that an
other 10000 building trades workers
had been taken to Honolulu in the
last year or 80 for defense work and
that SO far as was known all were
safe.
Invasion Prepared For.
The threatened attack on the
province of Zsnibales and the land
ings already made farther north on
the west and north Philippines
coasts followed pattern of invasion
for which defense forces have pre-
pared for years.
Long g-standing peace-time plans
for defense of the islands envisioned
a landing in Zambales province.
Fighting southwark, down the pc
ninsula through mountainous jun
giles, an invader would seek to get
within artillery range OF the island
fortress of Corregidor.
Meanwhile, IN the training. it was
assumed that another invading force
would attempt to land farther north
and fight southwark in an attempt
to occupy Manila, the capital
War Games Held Often.
Peacetime war games Of American
forces IN the Philippines have been
staged many times on the Zambales
peninsula.
Legaspi Is almost under the sha-
dow of Mayon volcano, cone which
arises about 10000 feet above the
sea. The volcano has erupted with
disastrous effect several times but
normally is quiet.
A railway links Legaspi with Man.
ila but the line is broken by Ragay
Gulf, requiring a ferry trip.
The Japanese plan Of attack pre-
sumably included the occupation of
Legaspi and other ports beyond the
immediate vicinity of Manila to pre-
vent the landing of reinforcements
and supplies for Gen. MacArthur's
forces,

Wednesday. 1t was then he re-.
ceived his orders to proceed to
the Philippines. She had not.
been feeling so good about her
husbands absence until the
broadcast this morning, she said,
and then she was so happy"
Her first act, she recalled. was.
to put through long-distance
telephone message to her father
in-law. Clarence A. Keller, sr., at
Wichita, Kans. 1t was the first
he had heard of his sons feat.
Once before the world has heard
OF the work of 1t. Keller as a menu
Der Of the United States Navy. On
that occasion, the press told of his
efforts in frightening away sharks
by diving close to the water with a
plane while boats rescued the crew
of the Greek ship Tzenny Chandris
that foundered and went down of
the coast of Norfolk in November,
1887. For that deed he was award
ed a medal by the Greek govern
ment. e.
1t. Keller was graduated from :
the Naval Academy in 1888 and
was assigned to duty at Norfolk
Va, and Charleston, S. c.. before~
he went to Honolulu. He and
Mrs. Keller, whose mother is Mrs.
Nan Coppage, Alto Twenty-hfth :
street North, Arlington, were
married the day after he finished b.

The names of five other hospital
patients were not available.
The blast ratified windows West
Burlington, several miles east.
Pratt, about 25. was among
the estimated Is persons brought to
hospitals here for treatment. He
was not seriously injured An I'M
known number was reported taken
to the field hospital inside the plant.
Area Closed to Traffic.
"The first thing I knew there was
a terrific noise and then the roof
began falling in" Pratt said.
Oficials in charge of the plant
Immediately barred the area against
all outside traffic.
The destroyed building was de-
scribed as three-story structure
about IS feet by so feet.
Gov. George A. Wilson dispatched
IS State highway patrolmen to the
scene at the request of plant author
tiles. Aided by Burlington City po-
lice, they worked to keep highway
"a and 80 open adjoining the plant
area to facilitate passage of am
balances.
Col. Adamson described the ex-
plosion as very bad but added the
blast had been limited to the one
building in the $60,00o,000 plant.
Il have just returned from looking
over the damage" Col. Adamson
said Its pretty bad"
There were great number of in
jured and I suppose there may be
some dead in there"
The blast occurred just after pm.
50 or 60 in Building.
Col Adamson estimated roughly
that some so or so persons may have
been in the building at the time, al
though because Of the hour he
thought the number might have
been larger or smaller.
No cause of the blast could be
determined Immediately and the
plant was closed at once to all out
siders.
The injured were being rushed to
hospitals in Burlington and other
towns in the community.
The huge 20,000-acre shell-loa ding
plant is located just outside Mid

spotlight with reports Of further
American successes in naval war
fare.
Admiral Thomas C. Hart, COM
mander in chief Of the United States
Asiatic Fleet, told how a fourth
Japanese warship had been badly
damaged, explaining that it was
"the second Japanese battleship to
be bombed effectively by the United
States"
Admiral Hart's report followed dis
closures late yesterday that jap
anese light cruiser and a destroyer
had been sent to the bottom by
marine flyers of Wake Island, and
earlier news of the heavy bombing
of a 29, 9,330-ton Japanese battleship
of the Kongo class.
Helps Restore Ratio.
The successful thrusts against the
two Japanese capital ships helped
restore the ratio between United
States and Nipponese battleships,
which was temporarily disturbed by
the Sunday attack on the American
fleet at Pearl Harbor.
Both Japanese battleships were of
the Kongo class which were COM
missioned in 1928, and refltted and
modernized between 1926 and 1890.
Ships of the Kongo class carry
about 1000 officers and men in crew,
but this Is apt to run higher in war
time. Three of them have eight IA
inch guns, sixteen 6-inch guns. eight
5-inch anti-aircraft guns and four
submerged torpedo tubes. The Hiei
has six 14-inch guns, sixteen e.
inchers, four 5-inch anti-aircraft
guns and four 3-inch anti-aircraft
guns.

Hearing Called Monday;
Choirmon to Speed
Action on Measure
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED PRESS.
A bill re-enacting certain World
War I laws TO give President Rose
welt the same powers as those held
by Woodrow Wilson was introduced
today in the Senate at the request
of the Justice Department.
Chairman Van Nuys of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, who intro
duced the legislation. said Attorney
General Biddle was scheduled to
appear at a hearing Monday on the
matter and that he hoped to have
the measure reported Immediately
to the floor for action.
One section Of the newly intro
duced bill would re-enact the Over
man Act. passed during the last
war, giving the President power to
redistribute the functions OF the
various governmental agencies 50
cuted most expeditiously and ef-
fciently.
Another section. designed to speed
up the process OF getting war goods,
would permit the President to au-
thorize the signing of contracts with
out competitive bidding in those
cases where competitive bidding still
Is required.
Provisions of the old trading with
the enemy act" which have ceased
to be in effect either because they
have expired by their own terms or
have been repealed, would be re-
vived under the new legislation.
The most important of these sec
tions would allow censorship Of COM
munications by mail. cable or radio
transmitted to any foreign country
The powers provided under the
law would expire six months after
the termination Of the war. or al
any earlier date designated by the
President.

partment in Washington an
