time as 1t. Elder called to me.
There were four heavy cruisers close
together in parallel lines in the
center of surrounding light cruisers
and destroyers
When the ships spotted us they
began violent maneuvering and run
ming in zig-zag courses. Anti-air-
craft fire was very thick and by the
time we attacked 1t was so dark
that the ships were black shapes
surrounded by flashes Of light from
the anti-aircraft guns.
Flew Between Bursts.
"The bursts came real close and
1t was my turn to maneuver vio-
lently. don't know exactly how I
turned my plane except that in
stinctively I took action to evade
the fire of some of the anti-aircraft
bursts which blossomed out only so
feet ahead of me. Once I flew
squarely between two bursts.
Il led my planes into cloud and
circled and came out abeam the
ships and headed in for the attack.
I dropped my torpedo and saw its
wake heading for the cruiser. Then
I pulled up and out of there fast.
Il did not see hits but over the
radio heard Elder saying happily,
Good work, Swede, good work
MY other planes had no trouble
getting home and landed aboard
under bright full moon.
1--WE are still in the war"
1t. Elder. however, had trouble
getting home and for the third
time during the day death brushed
his wing tips.
1t. Larsen and 1t. Elder were at
the Guadalcanal airfeld this morn
ing where they had landed after
an unsuccessful search for Jap
ships through the heavy storms OF
yesterday.
The rest OF the planes got of
okay but 1t. Elder had trouble with
his motor and was the last to leave
Finally he took off but the moto,
began to miss over the sea. He
turned away and coaxed the limp
ing plane back to a landing.
After a quick change of spark
plugs he got going again and headed
for carrier only to become lost In
storms. After everybody aboard lad
abandoned hope for him he landed
on the carrier.
A japanese attack group was ap-
preaching and 1t. Elder was tolc
to take his plane into the air with
Ensign Gordon. They took of under
orders to circle together with 1t
Larsen's torpedo planes. When they
were in the air circling they were
told to go out and attack the Japs
Coming home after the attack
1t. Elder again became lost due to
the fact the carrier had moved
many miles from its position, but
finally landed aboard with the gas
nearly exhausted. His only COM
ment: IAN in a days work"

There are heroes at home, too.
The worlds largest electric fur

vital phosphorus at the Monsanto
Chemical Co.'S plant developed a
leak in the cooling jacket around
the taphole at the base.
The usual procedure meant shut
ting down the furnace, seriously
Gripping the plants production for

So mechanical crew under Zip
Burgess volunteered to do the i'm
possible. They would fix the furnace
while it operated at full blast.
Working under terrific heat, un-
der the constant threat of horrible
death If the tons of molten, white
hot Stag broke through the plugged
tapkole around which repairs were
being made, the crew turned the
threatened shutdown into a produc-
tion victory.
Too rapid action would bring a
torrent of Stag down on them.
They won.
The Jackets fixed, and not an
hour was lost from production.

Senator Brown piloted the original
price control bill through the Sen

Before the Senate recessed for the

unanimous consent yesterday to
introduce the bill in time to begin

groups, and Wednesday would be
reserved for other interested parties,
including spokesmen for labor.

Roosevelt UItimafum
Is Purely POLITICAL
Grange Head Says
Goss Calls Threats
On Form Prices Move
To Put Foe on Spot
Ry the Associated Press.

BOSTON, Sept. 11.-Albert S.
Goss, master of the National
Grange, asserted yesterday that
President Roosevelt's promise to
impose new farm price ceilings by
October l, if Congress did not act
before then, was purely political"
Il don't think there's any emer-
gency that requires such a threat,
he said after comforting with New
England Grange leaders.
Says Henderson Has Power,
Declaring the country was in no
danger "of blowing up" in the i'm
mediate future, Mr.. Goss said Price
Administrator Leon Henderson
already had the power to regulate
farm prices.
"Of the % farm commodities
which comprise IS per cent of all
agricultural production" he said
"13 already are selling far below
parity prices, while Henderson
ALREADY mas the power TO restrict
prices On the eight items which now
are selling at prices far above those
set by law"
Mr.. Goss said the administration
hesitated to act on those commodi-
ties because cutting prices on them
would result in production being
cut off.
Puts Opponents "On the Spot"
This, he said, left only one COM
modify ty-chickens-between parity
and ITO per cent of parity.
Pointing out that the October !
deadline was only five weeks before
the November elections, Mr.. Goss
said it was calculated to put many
of Mr.. Roosevelts congressional
antagonists "on the spot" by forcing
them to take position on the price
issue which may appear to be con-
! trary to the view of either labor OF
agriculture, or both.

Today General Mikhailovitch has virtually
a rlmp government of his own. He has his
own tax collectors and law courts, which deal
s,mmarily with treason. He also has his own
secret police, which is the terror of the
Quislings. The money he has printed is cir
culated throughout large part of the
kingdom, even though the Germans have
decreed death to anyone caught with it.
At first the Germans thought they could
take this local incident" in their stride. Then
they realized that the entire structure of their
New Order was menaced. Millions of the
oppressed watched the battle IN the Balkans
with bated breath. awaiting their cue. Hitler
could not afford to have an enemy IN the rear
of the forces which may be called upon to
launch an attack against Turkey a. soon a.
spring sets in. It was for this reason that the
other day two of his spokesmen called upon
the heads Of Hungary and Bulgaria, the
neighbors of Yugoslavia. and ordered them to
relieve him of the burden of carrying on this
underground war. Perhaps as many as half
million soldiers will be dispatched to face the
armed forces of Mikhailovitch.
But the peasant heroes of Yugoslavia are on
the warpath come what may. Life means
nothing to them under ruthless foe. Ponees
in the jrlngies of Hitler's Europe, their war
may be the prelude to the revolt of the Old
World against the common foe. If 80. history
will have one man to thank for it. General

right to immortality.

arouse other parts of enslaved Europe.
Nowhere did the Germans perpetrate as
much horror - excepting perhaps in Poland
as in the Balkans. Hundreds of Thousands
were slaughtered. countless hostages were
stood against the wall. More than twoecore
villages were burned, shelled and bombed in
less than three months. The German COM
mander. General Denkelman, threatened to
turn the entire country into an execution
yard. He had whole forests burned down 50
as to force the freedom fighters into the open
country. Death was the penalty for the woman
or child who gave as much as drink of water
to the guerrilla soldiers.
The terror failed to achieve its purpose. A
regular front was established across the ooun-
try; the pressure of the Soviets increased on
the eastern front; the Nazis decided to try
different policy. They ordered their puppet,
General Neditch, to enter into pariey with
Mkhailovitch. The two men met in the city of
Valjevo. A generals rank. high honors and
gold were to be the reward of treason.
Mikhailovitch then presented his own oondi-
tions: the Axis powers were to clear out of the
country. with the exception of Belgrade and
Nish, where the Germans might maintain
garrisons. These were victor's terms; the
Germans knew only too well that their posi-
ton in the two isolated cities would be
impossible. The war continued.
Back again in the mountains and forests,
Mikhailovitch launched new campaign. con-
scious of his strength He even found time to

This time he was to have been court
martialed; only his record saved him. Three
weeks of house arrest was his punishment, and
he was transferred to the Defense Inspection
Bureau, which, in spite of its magnificent title,
had very little to do.
When the Nazi tornado struck the Balkans,
Mikhailovitch was one of the gallant officers
who tried to perform the impossible. He had
no say in the decision to sign an armistice
with the Germans. He watched with disnaay
the setting up of a Quisling government under
General Milan Neditch. The arms of the
former combatants were to be surrendered to
the enemy. Colonel Mikhailovitch defied the
order to yield, withdrew into sheltered part
of the kingdom, and from there watched the
Nazi juggernaut aatten the heroic Greeks.
and crush the island of Crete.
The Hsuzth Yrsas
WHAr induced Mikhailovitch to defy the
Germans, who were then on the very peak of
their breath-taldng campaign, is still matter
of conjecture. Perhaps it was the bitterness
in his heart, or the fervent prayer of nation
which could not bear the thought of an odious
slavery. The Russians helped him with mill
tary advice and the British managed to snug
gle arms to him. Without any fanfare of
publicity, the fourth front of the World War
II was opened up Gt was only the third front
at that time, since Japan had not yet entered
the wary. The world might have heard more
of it from the start, had not the Nazis done
their best to suppress news of it. They feared

$4,000 Firms Report
III Million Pounds
OF Excessive Copper
Two Thirds Of Concerns
Willing to Sell to U. S.,
WPB Official Says

(From Yesterdays Late Editions
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. s.-The War
Production Board, seeking copper
for critical war needs, today said
$4,000 firms have reported Ill 1,000,-
900 pounds of the metal in their
idle and excessive inventories.
E. A. Tupper, chief of the WPB's
ventory and Requisitioning
Branch, said approximately two
thirds of the reporting firms have
offered to sell the copper at the price
established by the Government.
He indicated steps might soon be
taken to requisition the metal in the
hands of the other one-third of the
firms which have been holding back
the copper because of the price.
20 Million Already Allocated.
OF the III 100000 pounds of cop
per reported, Mr.. Tupper said, 29,-
100000 already have been allocated;
II 100000 would be handled outside
the regular program; 27,000,00 were
ready to be moved, and 100000
must be studied further to deter
mine how it should be handled.
The remaining 100000 pounds
represents the copper in the hands
of firms refusing to SELL
Mr.. Tupper said that when the
recovery program started eight
weeks ago it was estimated 500
million pounds could be recovered,
but that this figure has been re-
vised to 400 million pounds because
of various copper movements in the
meantime.
Explaining the method to be fol-
lowed if the Government moves to
requisition the copper in the hands
of firms refusing to sell, Mr.. Tupper
said.
Requisition Procedure Outlined.
1--WE are up to date on our volun-
tary sales. We are now ready to
begin our push on the firms unwill-
ing to sell. That push would be as
follows:
I'VE will try to convince the with
holding firms that they should sell;
if they're still unwilling We'll have
to inform them of our intention
to requisition the copper; then We'll
requisition.
Mr.. Tupper said present emer-
gency requests for copper in various
forms are being received-at the
offices of the Copper Recovery Corp
here-from war plants and the
armed services at the rate of 100000
pounds day.
More than half of all these
emergency requests" Mr.. Tupper
said, "are being successfully filled
from idle and excess inventories
where the materials are located in
