WASHINGTON - The japanese
fleet today Is still a powerful force
despite mounting losses. but IT has
been damaged considerably by
whiting tactics Of the United
Nations since outbreak in the Pa
cifie war.
A computation based on off
cal announcements OF the United
Nations shows Sc japanese COM

strength-hsve been sunk. prob
ably sunk or damaged.
OF these. however. only 81

sinking of Is Ii claimed. with

flicted on AZ Others.
Military strategists here are
more impressed by Japanese mer-
chant ship losses.
II is estimated between 400. 900
and 500, 900 tons of non-combatant
Japanese ships = including 81
transports and n supply vessels
have been sunk or damaged.
This figure, it WAS pointed out,
equals one whole years capacity
OF Japanese shipyards, Repair and
replacement of these would en-
tail . severe drain on Japan's
steel production resources. already
operating at capacity to meet its
naval building program and other
urgent war requirements
The present strength of the jap
anese fleet il difficult to estimate.
At outbreak OF the war, pub
lished data showed the Japanese
had ass warships in service. But
this was nearly a year old and
experts believe the Japanese fleet
ct, Ry was larger because of the
n~ in Japanese naval con-
=he year preceding the
Pearl an. attack.
Experts here pointed out
there IL no present way of
knowing how many of the
ships claimed by the Allies A.
probably sunk actually were
lost. Furthermore, some of
Japan's vessels repeatedly
damaged may now be repaired,
they said, recalling that the
L. 8. destroyer Shaw-origi-
nally listed rs q complete loss
at Pearl Harbor-is being re-
paired and soon will be back
In service.
Some sources here estimate jap
anese submarine strength is close
to 125 and that a good many Of
these are long-range craft.
These same sources said they
also understood the Japanese were
building five pocket battleships,
ranging between $4,000 and 10000
tons, which were scheduled for
completion this year.
Most of Japan's capital ships are
old. Eight were commissioned be-
fore 1920.

FAT BOYS
FATTENED BY
WAR CONTRACT

WASHINGTON.-(F P)-The SALARY
of every officer of the Emerson Elec
trio Co. of st. Louis was increased
$50 after the company received 6
war contract, Chairman Andrew J
May of the house military affairs com
mittee told congress July 81.
To illustrate, May cited the com
pany president, who was receiving
$4,000 year. After the contract, he
was raised to $4,000. May pointed
out that "all of the increase =. was
to be paid by the government under
the t-plus-a-fixed-fee arrangement. y
The Emerson company, May said
was paid a fee of $2,0O0,000 by the
government to supervise the building
of plant whose cost also was met
by the government.
This fee was paid, he asserted, on
the theory that the firm had experts
who knew how to build and equip the
plant. Instead it called in an ohio
engineering firm which was paid
100000 on which it made a net profit
of 100000, or more than 579o.

BELIEVE IT. OR NOT

A Montana high school vacancy
called for a man with college educa-
ton, experience including dormitory
and mechanics-hours might be any
hours days, nights and Sundays. They
called a man for interview, found his
qualifications were plenty, offered
him $3.50 a year, which was $3.50 a
year more than the man got last year,
who resigned The teacher turned it
down and went OF Washington where
he was offered $500 for less hours
Driving through Spokane he bought
paper with an ad for boot black,
who was guaranteed $3.50 a month.
($1,S00 year, believe it or not.
Having been a news hound, my
nosey nature lead me to investigate
more. The school board hired II
teachers for that high school. Last
year their average salary was about
$1,000. Said school board comprised
a doctor, lawyer, and utility bust
ness man. 1t was estimated the doc
tor drew from this community about
$4,000 to $4,000 a year. The lawyer
was estimated at $4,000 to $4,000, the
business man $4,000 to $4,000. Com
pairing these figures reveals the three

men took stipends from this commun.
! ity equal to 10 teachers.
1t happened that said teacher was
riding with boy, 10, on vacation.
He has a job an Shasta dam at IS
day, for 40 hours, time and a half
for all time over 40 hours, which made
his income s64 a week or about twice
what was offered the teacher. (Said
boy had two years high school educa-
tion). # figures don't lie there was
three men and boy getting the equi-
valent of the entire faculty of II high
school teachers. That means the
average of the four was worth three
times one teacher. Since when does
it take three teachers to equal one
man, in other work? That's the pic
ture from actual cases, believe it or
not.
