Officer Saving Ship With Fake
Gun Wants to Try Real One

A fake gun constructed of bamboo
poles was uesed successfully in scar
ing off three attacks by japanese
bombers in an attack on Philip
pine merchant vessel, according to
Carmelo L. Manzano.
Formerly a major in the Philip
pine Army but now a lieutenant
commander in the United States
Coast Guard, the officer is awaiting
an assignment at sea so that he can
get a crack at the enemy with real
guns. Subsequently group of II
| bombers sank his ship
Comdr. Manzano now resides at
1917 Massachusetts avenue NV.
having come to the United States
with President Manuel Quezon from
his home in Manila.
"We were in Java when the war
broke out last December" said
Comdr Manzano. "I was in charge
of 5,000-ton Philippine merchant
man, and when hostilities started
We were commandeered by the
United States Navy. We were
bombed often while In port but
fortunately weren't hit, though the
wharves around us received much
damage. We were loading ammuni-
ton and foodstuffs in hope of get
ting them to the boys in Corregi-
| dor.
Sail with Fake Gun.
Circumstances prevented our do
ing this, but on February II, finally
loaded, we sailed alone and un-
armed, with New Guinea as our des-
tination. We rigged up a fake gun
on the deck smade out of bamboo
wood. painted black and covered
with tarpaulin, hoping 1t would
scare the Japs away.
Three times we were bombed by
single planes, but each time we
| sighted one We'd rush our men to
the imitation gun, tear off the tar
paulin and act as if we had the
real thing. 1t worked, too, for it
fooled the Japs enough to keep them
at high attitudes beyond our range.
They let their bombs go at us, but
they were too high for accuracy,
and as a result those of the three
attacks fell harmlessly into the sea.
"On February II 100 bombers
passed overhead flying in the direc-
ton of Darwin. A short time later
We saw an American Catalina
bomber attacked by a Jap Zero
fighter about miles away. The
Zero dived at the bomber and sci
him afire, then flew away without
bothering us. We changed our
course and went to the rescue of
the bomber, finding the crew un-
harmed in its rubber life raft"
Gun" Fails to Work.
After the American flyers had
been aboard for two hours the ship
again was attacked, this time by q
flight of II bombers.
Our imitation gun didn't do us
much good this time" Comdr. Man
zano related, so we had to sit
there and take it--bombs and tor
pedoes. As one bomb struck the SUI

ship into the water was knocked
unconscious as soon as she hit but

to floating on the sea almost an hour
later.
within 10 minutes I was picked
up by one of our lifeboats, but it
wasn't as comfortable in the boat
as in the water. Planes were ma
chine cunning all of the men, and
the boats offered better targets. We
lost three men from our crew and
one of the members of the Cata-
lima. However, our losses were COM
paratively small for the odds we
were against.
I'VE made shore about 30 miles
from where we'd been sunk, but
the island appeared deserted. The

Nazi Chiefs Tour Norway
For Propaganda Purposes
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE NorWe-
gian government in exile yesterday
reported the arrival of A Nazi po-
litical leaders in Oslo for an 8-week
propaganda tour.
There have been serious mutt
MES" and an increasing number of
suicides, and two new concentra-
ton camps have had to be opened
recently for the confinement of Ger
man soldiers who refused to 60 to
the Russian front, a government
source said.
Confidence in a German victory
is rapidly diminishing, a spokes-
man declared. The despairing out
look on the future, which affects
all except the fanatical Nazis in
Norway, is we'll summed up in the
words of German officer who said {:
The war will be over when the Eng
lish are eating rats and we are eat

they left us and came upon some
natives they had nothing to eat but
grass and only stagnant water to
drink. We who were injured ra-
toned our supplies of crackers and
water from the lifeboats and lived
on that.
Hospitalized in Australia.
THE natives took the II to
Catholic mission on the island, and
about the same time a boat from
the mission picked us up We then
were taken to Australia, where most
Of us were hospitalized for about a
month and a half to recover from
our injuries, wounds, exposure and
shocks"
Subsequently the II uninjured
members of the crew joined the Aus

except Comdr. Manzano, enlisted as
they recovered. All are now in the
service, and he added

Unions especially need to protect
their members wages at the spending
end, Consumers Union says. They can
do it by education and discussion
meeting the everyday problems of the
members and their families.
C. U. will send its discussion out

DANGEROUS TREND

Organized labor and the "little man.
generally are face to face with trend
dangerous in the extreme. This is no
exaggeration. The forces of reaction
are in full cry, in Congress, in the
press and elsewhere, hell-bent on de-
stroying many of the hard-won gains
won by the common people through
years of struggle And this is being
done in the name of patriotism
Representative Smith of Virginia,
arch-enemy of union labor, is leading
the assault. Defeated in initial at
tempts to kill all hour limitations in
federal legislation, he has returned to
the attack and is pressing legislative
proposals perhaps even more vicious
than anything he has advocated pre-
viously.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt, war ana Navy
Department chiefs, war production
heads-all men who know at first hand
that progressive legislation is not
holding up the war effort, are fighting
the effort to destroy the gains of dec
AIDES. They have been given valiant
support by Speaker Rayburn of the
House of Representatives, who has de-
nounced current moves to destroy la
Dor legislation as providing valuable
ammunition for the Axis.
Hitting back at demands for ban
ming strikes, Rayburn pointed out

that production stoppages have
been reduced to about zero regard
less of what is said by some writer's
and speakers" On March II, he
said, there were fewer than 100 of
some 100000 war workers on
strike.
Not content with seeking tozkill la
Dor laws, the reactionary forces are
striking blows at all legislation to help
sharecroppers, tenant farmers and
others of the poor, the humble and
the disinherited.
Unless labor and all progressive and
enlightened forces join in mighty
protest, there is real danger that al
most irreparable harm may be done
to progress in this country.
