Mr.. Mahony credited the Industry

Office of Procurement with enabling
the company tor obtain adequate

said, and the Bureau of Aeronautics

Marine Patrol Kills 20 Jops
And Loses Only Two Men

BY the Associated Press.
A marine patrol knitting deep into
the mountainous jungles on Guadal-
canal Island has killed 10 Japanese
and captured five machine guns at
loss of only two men wounded, the
Navy announced yesterday.
The enemy troops were caught in
an encampment at the village of
Mambulo on the upper Matanikau
River, beyond the southwestern
flank of the American position on
the Solomon island.
From somewhere on these jungle
covered heights the Japanese have
had artillery firing down on the
Guadalcanal airfield, and it was pos
sible the patrol was out hunting for
the enemy field pieces when it found
the Japanese camp.
A Navy communique, which made
no report on land activity elsewhere
on the island, said that dive-bombers
scored a direct hit on an enemy
warehouse at Munda, New Georgia
Island, 180 miles northwest OF
Guadalcanal airf1eld. The bombers
were accompanied by fighter planes
The patrol raid at Mambulo was
carried out last Monday, Guadal-
canal time. A Navy communique
issued yesterday had reported Japa-
nese activity In the region on Mon
day, but without indicating its pur-
pose or direction.

The Sperry organization is a
striking example. There are Sper-
ry patents that 60 on planes, ships
and guns which the services regard
as indispensable to their efficiency.
Why" an officer exclaimed, "our
ships couldn't sail, our planes
couldn't fly or our guns shoot with
out these patents" At least, he
modified, not half SO well.
Subcontractors Investigated.
Today, three out Of four Sperry-
patented articles are made outside
of Sperry plants. The secrets of
these patents and the right to use
them have been relinquished volun-
tarily whenever Army or Navy en-
gineers pointed out that production
Of some vital part could be hurried
in this way. The subcontracts have
gone to reliable plants or shops
after thorough investigation.
This share-the- contract program,
which the Government now Is or
ganized to spread in a big way, has
been a firmly established practice
Of some of our largest industries for
long time. An impression which
may have been conveyed in WASH

have subcontracts virtually pried

new type of production, and that he
