The giant bombers up to that
time had often been deprived Of
ability to use their fullest high-level
hitting power because of monsoon

but this day was bright blue.
"Macassar showed below us with
little indented river" one pilot
said. THE Japs had drawn all their
transports, except five, close to shore
with the purpose of concealment.
But there simply wasn't enough
shore for all the transports they
were preparing. Three were moored
several hundred feet of shore and
two bigger ones were about 2 miles

Northcutt, known to his men af-

Offered Collaboration.
Files of Liberty Magazine present.
ed earlier in the day disclosed that
on November 26, 1887, Viereck wrote
the editor memorandum saying
Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York would be very glad" to
collaborate with Viereck on an
article urging war referendum legis-
lation.
The memorandum, from Viereck to
Fulton Oursler, then editor in chief
of Liberty, stated that the German
American publicist had just had q
long talk with Mr.. Fish in regard
to pending bill by Representative
Ludlow of Indiana requiring pop
ular referendum on declarations of
war. The note added that a petit
ton to get the measure on the floor
of the House already had 1875 sigma
lures and required only 218.
Viereck added:
Hamilton Fish would be very glad
to write an article with me on the
necessity of a war referendum"
Came From Liberty's Files.
This evidence was dug from the
files by Special Prosecutor William
Power Ma1oney on cross-examina-
ton of Sheppard Butler, now ex-
ecutive editor of Libetry.
The prosecutor also brought from
the files and had the witness iden-
tify a letter from Viereck to Mr..
Oursler, dated July 6, 1910. in which
the defendant expressed his admira-
ton for Adolf Hitler and deplored a
series of articles which had just ap-
peared in the magazine-an asserted
expose of the German chancellor's S
Berchtesgaden household by an al
legged former housemaid.
Viereck, who IS charged with
failing to report extensive propa-
ganda activity when he registered
at the State Department as Ger
man editor and correspondent.
wrote Mr.. Oursler:
II have read with mounting as
tonishment the story Of Hitler's al
legged maid Pauline Kohler, IN
Liberty and True Story.
II have, as you know, Iever con-
cealed my admiration for the dy-
manic qualities of the German
chancellor without accepting his
.ideology). In 1923 I said: If he
lives, Hitler, for better or for worse,
is sure to make history

Dupont Circle Group Demands
Congress Probe D. c. Defense
Commissioners Called Inefficient;
McCorron Randolph to Be Consulted

At the same time, Mr. Taylor said,
they neglected to inform him of so
fundamental a matter as change
in the boundaries of his area.
Wardens never found it out till a
practice blackout was held, he said,
and wardens from two associations
met on the same block. Boundaries
have since been changed back to
the original lines.
Both Mr.. Taylor and F. Moran
McConihe, deputy air-raid warden
for the area, ridiculed alleged inde-
cision of local officials on providing
funds to run warden Offices. De-
claring that $16,45G was needed to
equip properly the 81 sectors and IL
zone posts IN the Dupont Circle
area, Mr.. McConihe said that Dis
trict officials had no money them
selves but would not permit him to
tell citizens Of the area they would
have to bear expense of equipment.
Mr.. McConihe's estimate of ex-
pense of equipping offices, he said,
did not include fancy furbelows,"
or even picks and shovels. Admin
istrative equipment only, such as
files. and typewriters, was included,
he said. He suggested the Commis-
sioners decide who is to pay for
these and authorize one person to
solicit the funds.
Many Wardens Quit.
Wardens in his area are resigning
right and left, Mr. McConihe con-
tinued, in disgust at what they term
official indecision and Stupidity"
Both Civilian Defense Director
Bolles and Chief Afraid Warden
Murphy are good men and know
their jobs" he said after the meet
ing, but they have to follow orders
of the Commissioners.
Mr.. McConihe declared that only
Is firemen are properly equipped
to teach the $1,000 local air raid
wardens poison gas techriques, and
they are forced to do it on their own
time. In addition. he said there are
available for poison gas instruction
here only three sniff set" kits of gas
samples.
Official indecision on air raid pro-
cedure was also indirectly hinted at
by President E. D. Merrill of the
Capital Transit Co., who spoke at
the meeting.
Asked to describe his company's
duties in raids. he declared: Il am
still a little uncertain" Mr.. Mer-
rill is at present working on plans to
concentrate operation of vehicles
during raids to the heavily Travelled
routes, he said.
His orders to continue operation
during tonight's blackout, Mr.. Mer-
rill said, were at variance with
procedure of halting buses and street
cars, followed in the 15-minute
blackout previously held. L. NJ.

by some one who ingeniously put
together certain facts collected from
many sources and great deal of
purely fictitious back-stairs gossip
picked up from the slop-pails of
the world"
Viereck added in the letter that
he could not communicate directly
with Germany because "the Brit
ish interfere practically with the
United States mails" but he had
asked the German charge d'affaires
in Washington to investigate Miss
Kohler." The envoy had referred
the matter to Germany, Viereck
wrote, and had replied that no such
woman was known or ever had
worked at "the Berghof.'
Viereck ended the letter by urging
Liberty to inform its readers that
the articles were not authentic and
should be classed as fiction rather
than fact.
The files showed that Mr. Oursler
replied rather tartly to Viereck,
saying he could not publish Vie
reck's letters unless the writer chose
to describe himself as the official
representative of Hitler in the
United States. Nor was he inter-
ested in what the German Embassy
thought of the articles, the editor
made it clear.
The files placed in evidence by the
Government were introduced over
the emphatic protest of Defense
Attorney Emil Morosini, who con-
tended they were not proper cross
examination and meant a reopening
Of the Governments case. But JUS
tice Dickinson Let's held that the
material was admissible.
The defense called Mr.. Butler to
show that Viereck had been a reg
ular contributor to Liberty from
1925 until two or three years ago.
Mr.. Butler testified that Viereck
had contributed many articles and

Immediate Speedup
In Arms Production
Ordered by Nelson
w. P. B. Chief Outlines
Four-Point Plan to 4
Boost Output Is Pct.

By the Associated Press.
An immediate speedup in arms
production to an output even great
er than. President Roosevelt's goal
was ordered today by War Produc-
ton Chief Donald M. Nelson.
Stressing the desperate urgency
of the war situation, Mr.. Nelson
called for around clock pro-
duction to boost output rs per cent
on all existing machines and
launched APPOINT promotion cam
paign for full labor management
cooperation.
Four-Point Plan.
AS outlined by the production
chief in a radio address over the
blue network last night, the cam
paign involves:
/. Establishment Of joint labor
management committees in each
war plant to direct production up
to and beyond the Presidents
goals;
2. Assignment Of production quo
tas to each primary producer, with
day-by-day scoreboards in each
shop;
3. Awards of merit to workmen
making special contributions to
greater production;
4. Speeches and other reports, by
soldiers and sailors who use the
weapons, to the workmen who build
them.
Mr.. Nelson called upon labor lead
ers to 60 the limit in adjusting diff
ferences without stopping produc-
tion and asked management to re-
move any causes of just complaint
by workmen.
Appeals to Businessmen.
To businessmen who whine that
Washington hasn't done enough for
them" he issued this reply: Where
is your initiative? Where Is your
enterprise?"
He said the output of production
lines would determine whether the
United Nations could mold the bat
tie lines and ultimately crush the
Axis.
Hard months are ahead" he
warned. Those of us on the pro-
duction line have got to get into
this fight now. It's a fight in which
no holds are barred. Our enemy
has suspended all the rules. We
can't fight by the book. For that
reason nothing can be allowed to
delay production.
There must be sweat and action
on the production line to match the
blood and action on the battle line"

who tried the .face-on attack now
popular among the Japs. He was
flying in formation with 1t. Harold
Smelzer of Nashville, Tenn, a
graduate of Vanderbilt University.
Usually the Japs have at least
three participating in such attacks,
but this Zero was alone. When
the Jap committed himself on a
turn 1t. Skies turned his enormous
ship away, but the Jap then di-
rected his FIRE toward 1t. SmelZer.
II saw incendiaries streaming by

I could not reply for fear of hit
ting Skiles' ship"
However, 1t. Skiles' tail-gunner,

burst as he swept away and saw
him drop asterr. falling in smoke.

the Alexandria Housing Authority,
concerning three contracts in that
area for housing units on which diff
ferent rates Of wages had been paid,
he said.
I'm not fighting the union" be-
gan Mr.. Marshall. i merely want to
present the wage scales paid in
Alexandra" Some of the units, he
explained, had been developed at a
lower wage rate"
Explaining few typical cases, he
said that carpenters on a job of 24o
houses in Alexandria had been paid
at the rate of $1.10 an hour, but or
another group of 120 houses car
penters now we're receiving $162Hs
an hour. Unskilled laborers on the
240 houses had received 40 to SO
cents an hour, but on another job
of l20 houses were receiving IS cents
Painters had been paid IS cents an
hour on the first group Of houses
under a certain contract, but now
were receiving from $171 81 to 81
an hour.
From the floor a union leader
told the referee that a firm known
as Dyker Bros. had signed an agree
ment with the union and was now
paying 100 per cent union wages
and that another firm, Justin
O'Brien, was also paying a union
scale.
Other Rates Compared.
Asked to compare some further
wage rates, on two different jobs,
Mr.. Marshall testified that a Martin
Bros. firm was listed as having paid
bricklayers $135 an hour. while the
O'Brien firm paid bricklayers SITS.
Plasterers, Mr. Marshall testified,
had been paid by Martin Bros.
$112h and by O'Brien 50.
Asked by Mr. Wilkes to compare
the workmanship of the two jobs so
far as he could, Mr.. Marshall re-
piled they are practically the
same"
Mr.. ,Locher drew from Mr., Mar
shall the admission that he had
protested for about three months
over rates established by the United
States Housing Authority for the
Martin job.
Didn't you overrule the United
States Housing Authority on your
rates for the Martin job?" asked
Mr.. Locher of Mr.. Marshall.
mo" replied Mr.. Marshall. I'VE
compiled the facts and submitted
the data to the United States Hous-
ing Authority" The rates them
selves, Mr.. Marshall said, had been
set by the U. S. H. A. He agreed
to submit the data he had gath
cred in Alexandria to the referee
for consideration If it fell within
the years limit required by the law.

AN AMERICAN AIRBASE, Some
where in Java, March 3.-One
bomber crew. whose commander
must be nameless, now is dropping
bombs filled with personal feeling
as well as explosive on the Jap
double convoy crossing the Java
Sea. And it is due to a misunder-
standing over Bali.
The commander heads crew
whose plane spent several weeks In
Australia awaiting replacement OF
Its tail wheel. When it was finally
fixed, he took of for Java. But,
like many pilots, the commander
was unable Immediately to find the
secret Dutch field in the Eastern
part of the island.
When his gas gauges showed that
little fuel remained, he decided to
double back into the Javanese archi-
pelago and land on a field in Bali
Island, whose attractions had been
discussed by the crewmen before
their voyage.
Being unfamiliar with this field,
the comma der decided to drag it."
that is, to make lengthwise exam
ination. He did so at height of 20
feet, found landing feasible, but
then decided on a second drag to
make certain. This time the plane
was met by a hail Of Japanese fire.
One gunner receiver bullet in his
foot land the superpresuure pump
was shot away.
The radio oficer had failed to
catch the message that Bali had al
ready been landed" by the Japs.
Desperate now, especially because
Jap Navy Zero plane was notice.
able warming up in corner of the
field, the bomber climbed, headed
for Java and began hunting field
again.
"We were ladling out gas between
our engines with teaspoon and
betting that No. would be the first
to quit" said the commander, when
we found q field tucked away among
the mountains. We landed success
fully and, given instructions where
to conceal our machine, began to
taxi to it. No. 8 sputtered once,
and died"
Because Jap fighters are over
whelmingly more numerous than
Allied and can maneuver inside the
best American fighter yet sent here,
does that mean that Japs attack
only when they have unquestionable
superiority of numbers and evade
combat elsewhere?
Correspondents have written sto-
ries suggesting that, but they are
not correct. Two American pilots
both give testimony that the Japs
are attacking big American bombers
singly and dismiss as dangerous
complacence any theory to the
contrary.
