DEFERMENT PROBLEM
II was announced this week that
Lester Parfitt, president of the
Division, will be 1895 delegate to
the State Federation Convention in
New Haven next month. 1t was
still undecided whether the Division
would send q second delegate to
the sessions. Parfitt will appoint
him If another is decided upon.
The president also informed The
Union Times that the problem of
deferment for motor coach en-
pIOyes has not been solved yet.
While the majority of the men feel
that they should have equal rating
with war industry workers from
the point of view of value to the
war effort, many members are al

vice-president of the Company, did
obtain a six months deferment of

YELLOW MILL VILLAGE
Ernest A. Eisler, Yellow Mill Viii
lage tenant and 459 member, was
the recipient of a rent cut this week
when the OPA set maximums for
such Iow-cost projects. Eisler said
this action was another victory for
the protesting tenants, but pointed
out that he personally paid more
than one-fifth of his yearly salary
for rent. He claimed state law
limits rents i'm such projects to that
percentage.

States engineers provided the
solution of getting Anna Craig,
550-pound Negro woman, into
court to face internal revenue

The woman lived in Green
Vile, 100 miles distant. Internal
Revenue agents had received a
number of complaints. They had
been unable to bring her into
court because she was too large
to get in an automobile, train
or bus.
So, when Judge Sidney C.
Mize opened federal court yes

to the engineers. With character

Want Another
Crack al Axis
s. Men and Pup
Still Defiant

TAMPA, Fla, May 21--(P)--
Fifty-three men and the captains
pet Airedale, Mickey" surviv-
ors of running eight-hour sea
battle with three submarines,
want to return to sea to get a
crack at helping whip the Axis.
The SO sailors, passengers, and
the dog included all hands aboard
a medium sized u. S. merchant
ship sunk April 20. The ship sur
vived two torpedo hits and en-
gagged in a terrific cannon and
machine-gun duel with the subs
before third torpedo finally
sent it to the bottom.
The sinking had been previ-
ously announced by the Navy,
but the story Of the crews har-
rowing escape and rescue was
untold until the survivors reach
ed port here.
The men spent about 81 hours
in open boats, rode sub chaser
to a Caribbean port and anoth-
er ship to Tampa enroute to New
York. Mickey" the dog, went
with them.
The pet of Captain Ernest v.
Farrow of Staten Island, NY.
Mickey" sailed with his master
for three years and was regard
ed as almost another member of
the crew. When rations were
doled out in lifeboats, Mickey"
got his share, too.
"A d everybody, including
Mickey, is eager to get back on
another ship and get a crack at
helping TO whip those Heinies,"
said Captain Farrow.
The ship was struck first by a
torpedo about 2 am, but not
disabled. The captain ordered
full speed ahead with the sub
marine in pursuit. Soon, two
other submarines appeared on
the surface and a brisk 15-min-
ute battle followed between the
ships gun crews and the under
sea crafts cannon and machine
guns.
The ship was damaged in the
exchange but still not disabled
and cont inued on zig-zsg
course. The survivors we're un-
able to say il the subs were hit.
A second torpedo smashed into
the ship three hours later, but
yet the battered merchantmen
proceeded on its way with the
submarines giving chase.
Finally about 10 am. a third
torpedo hit and stopped the ship.
Captain Farrow ordered her
abandoned. The AZ crewmen,
nine gunners, two passengers
and "Michey" piled into two
boats and the ship sank in about
ID minutes.
