Y the Associated Press.


MELBOURNE, Aug. ga ma
chine gun falling from an American
bomber shattered the propeller of a
japanese Zero plane causing its de-
struction at Milne Bay, a Melbourne
Herald war correspondent, cabled
today.
F. c. Folkard, the writer, said the
story was vouched for by Gunnery
Sergt. j. P. Papp and others on the
bomber.
Papp said the bomber came so
close to another plane that he feared
the machines would collide. He
made sudden motion to adjust his
life preserver, accidentally giving
his machine gun a wrench. There
was no collision, but screws holding
the gun broke.
THE gun fell out. I almost fol-
lowing it in my effort to save it,"
Papp told the correspondent. Look
ing down, I was startled to see a
Zero, 200 feet below and coming up
at us fast to make belly attack
Now this may sound incredible,
but that falling gun hit the Zero's
propeller, which was knocked to
pieces. The Zero kept coming
moment and then dived straight
down to the water"

Skipper Risks Life

was so bent on saving his ships
papers when it was torpedoed that
after getting his entire crew off he
went to his cabin for the papers,
was twice carried under after escap-

Expecting trouble, the captain had
all his crew on deck in hfeboats
when torpedo struck without
warning in mid-August in the
Caribbean while the ship was travel
ling at slow speed, blacked out.
Within four minutes all hfeboats
were in the water. Then the cap

When the medium sized United
States merchant ship capsized he
climbed up a water pipe to get out,
was carried under twice, and then

up. Two hours later a British vessel
rescued the other 48 members of the

i. ). Faces Increasing
Demands for Meat
For AEF and Allies
Government CONSIDERING
Several PIuns to Cut
American Consumption
BY the Associated Press.

Dy the hSSOCldtcd FIeS3.
Because it is closer to the Eu-
ropean battle-ground than most
other sources of supply, the
United States may have to share
a larger portion of it's meat
with American armed forces
overseas and with Great Britain
than previously expected.
This is the implication of a state
ment by President Roosevelt yes
terday that Americans may be
asked to observe a meatless day
each week. Meatless days would
be one way of reducing American
consumption to make larger sup
plies available for movement across
the Atlantic.
The United Nations have four
major sources of meat supplies.
Besides the United States, they are
Argentina, Australia and New
Zealand. The United States is much
nearer to Great Britain than any
of the others. ,
Consequently, if a part of the sup
plies now being obtained for Great
Britain-and American troops sta
toned there-from Argentina, Aus
tralia and New Zealand can be
supplied by the United States, a
saving in oceanic shipping and
possibly ship losses would result.
The sea lanes across the North
Atlantic have been the scene of
fewer ship sinkings than the long
lanes between Great Britain and
the other sources.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that il this
country provided greater supplies
by observing a meatless day each
week, from 20 to 80 fewer ships
would be needed to transport meat
to overseas forces and to Great
Britain. These ships, he said,
could be used to transport planes,
tanks, ammunition and other war
materials to fighting fronts.
The United States has been i'm
porting very little meat since the
attack on Pearl Harbor. Because
ships available for trade with South
America are needed for movement
of strategic war materials, importa-
ton of any considerable quantity
Of meat from Argentina has not
been contemplated.
Other Plans Considered.
Meatless days represent only one
of several plans considered by the
Government for cutting the Amer
lean consumption of meat. The
Ofilce of Price Administration has
been directed by the War Produc-
ton Boards Foods Requirements

Randolph Moves to Lift Ban
On Schools Use as Nurseries

A letter from Chairman Randolph
Of the House District Committee to
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.

bill to remove a longtime ban on
the use Of public school funds for
children under 5, was made pub
lie today.
This comes as another step in
the effort to provide care for chill
dren whose mothers are employed
IN war work. At present there are
far too few nursery schools where
children can be cared for and the
schools are being sought for this
purpose.
M. Randolph's letter, dated today,
said in part:
will you kindly draft for me a
tentative bill which will remove the
prohibition against the use of exist
ing schools for nursery schools for
the duration and six months there
after? I should like to have this

Australians Bottle
Jap Force Landed
At Milne Boy
py the Associated Press

PS the Associated Press.
GEN. MACARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Aug. 29.-Fighting
appeared to be growing in in
tensity today along the muddy
shores of Milne Bay as veteran
Australian troops battled with
effective United States air sup
port against Japanese forces at
tempting to consolidate shaky
grip on the southeastern tip of
New Guinea.
A communique from Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters said the Aus
tralians were in close contact with
the recently landed japanese and
described the fighting as heavy"
A small number of United States
service troops were reported in the
battle area, but the Allied fighting
forces were said to be composed of
tried Australian Imperials and
militia.
Allied medium bombers, piloted
by Americans and escorted by Aus
tralian airmen in fighter planes,
were raking the beach heads estab-
hshed by the japanese and the
communique reported that "numer-
Gus fires were started"
The Japanese apparently filtered
into the forbidding jungle, where
they were engaged by the hard bitten
Australians, slashing along infre-
quent trails and slashing their way
through mangrove swamps to meet
the invader.
Troops Fighting in Mud.
A spokesman said the weather,
which had slowed the early prog
ress OF the land and air battle, was
better now" but the troops still
were fighting in heavy mud.
The battle was proceeding several
miles from the head of Milne Bay
along the north shore. A narrow
beach there fades into the swampy
jungle land.
While there was no indication of
how the land fighting was going, a
recapitulation of Allied communi-
ques issued during the past week
showed that the Japanese Air Force
has been taking a severe mauling
in the Australian theater.
According to these bulletins, the
japanese have lost AZ of their famed
Zero fighters, four heavy bombers
and two divebombers since last
Sunday, in addition to an unesti-
mated number OF planes damaged
Allied losses In the same period
have been put of1icially at only four
planes.
No Mention of Air Activity.
American-built P-40 fighters
some of them flown by Australian
airmen-have been playing a big
part in the Allied air victories.
Today's communique did not
mention any Japanese aerial ac-
tivity in the Milne Bay sector,
where the sturdy P-4Os previously
had been credited with the destruc-
ton OF two enemy divebombers and
two fighters.
Three Japanese planes were re-
ported to have attacked Darwin on
Australia's northwest coast during
the night, but the bulletin said they
did no damage.

of section of the Texas to- Illinois

GENTLY to allow the scheduling Of

claims while work continued.
The pipeline executive said that
the contractor ordered 100 workers
of the project to prevent violence

from Illinois, appeared late Thurs
day and ordered them to stop. He
said several of the union men had
six-shooters which they made no
