low our craftsmanship in the glar-
ing sunlight. Nor could we tell
what was fired back at us from
the ground until we inspected the
fuselage later in the afternoon.
AT Maungjan we surprised q
steamer 200 feet long tied to an
east bank jetty. At least 20 men,
some of them wearing military look
ing clothes, scattered wildly as the
vessel began sinking rapidly after
our attack.
Our Blenheim cast a shadow of
fear mile after mile along the
snaky river. The smell of sulphur
from the guns chung in every Granny
of the cockpit.
Paddy whirled round and round
in his gun turret, watching the
sky.
Mission Completed.
Near Singkaling Khamti, where
a herd of water buffalo dotted the
rivers edge, the Blenheim COM
pleted its mission and turned sharp
ly toward the cloud-hidden Naga
range.
A rainbow curved under us and
then rain beat on the bomber's nose.
The map showed 10,000-foot peaks
ahead Of US and also an uncharted
area where 13,000-foot mountains
were likely.
We slashed upward into heavy
clouds. Remembering our formerly
ailing engine, I hated those clouds.
But we reached the topside of the
overcast. We were miles above
sea level, according to our alti-
meter.
Dicky was using the towel again
for an overcoat; my teeth were chat
tering; Eric needed two hands and
two feet to handle the Blenheim
and didn't have time to notice the
cold.
Then Dicky saw it first and waved
us a warning-a military airplane
a few hundred yards ahead and be-
low us off the starboard wing.
1t looked like a twin-engined

model, but was not indentifiable as
a Blenheim, and 1t was heading
straight for Japanese-held Burma.
Some Japanese planes with two en-
gines outspeed and outgun the Blen-
helms. Moreover, We had neither
fuel nor ammunition left to seek
combat. If chased, it might be too
bad for us.
Eric kicked the rudder and we
headed for the nearest cloudbank
on the portside.
Again we were flying in a world
of nothing but white shadow-but
white shadow that was friendly now.
Dicky made his reckonings and
Eric steered by the compass which
he saw above his left knee.
Our wingtips were invisible to us
in the mist-but we didn't mind. We

chairman of the War Manpower
Commission, asserted:
Men must have vision. Men
must understand what lies behind
labels. We did not read the labels
on Naziism, even though our whole
history, our whole democratic heri-
tage and the plain words of 'Mein
Kamf' indicated how poisonous
Naziism was.
1--WE put a simple faith in the
harmless cherry blossom labels that
concealed the vicious and mech
anized medievalism of Japan. We
accepted the Maginot Line as i'm
pregnable because the aging gen.
erals of degenerate military
bureaucracy labeled it so.

to look behind the labels"

Axis Spy Safeguards
Feared Weakened by

BiddIe, Hoover, Army Men
To Give Views Before
Senate Group Tomorrow

Though unwilling to talk for
publication, Government intelli-
gence officers are apprehensive
that the controversy over censor
ship of Alaskan mail may lead to
legislative action weakening ex-
listing safeguards against the use
of our overseas territories and
possessions by Axis agents to
transmit military information to
the enemy.
Attorney General Biddle, j. Edgar
Hoover. director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, and high
officers of the Army and Navy intel
ligence services have been invited
to appear before the Senate Judici-
ary Committee tomorrow to give
their views on the territorial censor
ship bill giving the Office of Censor
ship specified powers to pass on
communica tions between the United
States and its territories and pos
sessions.
Within War Zones.
Alaska, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and
the Panama Canal today are war
zones. For this reason Govern
ment intelligence officers point out
it is of vital importance that the
Office of Censorship maintain a
close watch over cable, radio, radio
phone messages and mail matter
sent to these areas, with authority
to intercept communications that
might endanger national security.
Among the residents of our over
seas territories it is said that there
are persons listed as actual or pos
tential enemy agents. Unless the
Government has the power to scru-
tinize messages sent to those on
the suspect list, these communica-
tions may lead to the destruction of
American troop transports and be
used to guide enemy submarines

Allies Put Pressure
On Jap Garrisons
Trapped at Buna
Loe and SoIomono,
Sources Of Possible
Aid, Are Bombed
BY the Associated Press.

MELBOURNE, Dec. 1.-TWO
doomed forces of Japanese, max
ing a final fanatical stand in
their beachhead at Buna and
Buna Mission, were being blasted
by massed Allied artillery today.
Operations in the Buna area We're
hindered by rain, but Allied planes
kept up the pressure on the Japa-
nese by raiding bases at Lac and
Salamaua, further up the coast, AL
lied headquarters announced.
Bombers started fires at the Sala-
maua airdrome and raided dispersed
aircraft and installations at Lac
Both aTdromes are potential sources
of air support for the beleaguered
JapS at Buna.
The two japanese garrisons. cut
off from each other by an Allied
column that fought its way through
to the sea, were forced to operate
as independent units. They made
repeated desperate attempts to break
out of their trap yesterday, but were
repulsed each time by Australian
and American troops and driven
back onto their narrow stretches of
sand.
With no possible route of escape
open to them, the last japanese sur
vivors of the big force that landed
In Papua in June appeared con-
signed to the same fate that was
dealt out to the garrison at Coma
two days ago.
The final operations at Coma re-
suited in the killing of at least 63s
Japanese, it was announced today
Few, If any, Japs were thought to
have escaped when the Australians
wiped out the settlement.
The japanese in Buna struck out
repeatedly yesterday on the trail
to Sanananda, the communioue
from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
jungle headquarters said. Each
time, however, advancing American
and Australian forces famed out
from the trail and eventually sur
rounded and destroyed the japanese
outposts. 1t was officially said that
the Allies now have a clear trail
right to the edge of Buna.

Eastman Plans Boost
OF 70 Pei. in Fuel
Shipments 10 East
Sets 100000 Barrels
As Goal for Dolly
Delivery by Rail

Defense Transportation Di-
rector Joseph B. Eastman yester-
day tightened control over oper-
atiOnS of railroad tank cars and
predicted the action would boost
rail movement of petroleum to
the East by at least 20 per cent,
or nearly 10000 barrels a day.
In order to meet civilian needs
and growing military requirements
for petroleum and petroleum prod
ucts," Mr.. Eastman established as
the minimum goal" the daily de-
livery of 100000 barrels of oil to
the East by rail, as compared with
the current volume of 10000. How
much this will alleviate the Short
age along the Atlantic seaboard
could not be learned. Oficials en-
phasized that military demands in
this area for oil "are greatly in
creased"
Meanwhile, the Office OF Price Ad-
ministration announced that the
validity date of fuel oil ration
coupons for the first and second
heating periods had been extended
one week each. This means that
in the Washington area the coupons
No. "1' will be good until Decem-
Der "a, and the coupons numbered
"2' may be cashed any time up
to January 25.
ExteAd Credit Period.
In addition, OPA extended to De-
cember 19 the time during which
fuel oil users in eight Virginia areas,
including Fairfax County, may pur-
chase Oil under the coupon credit"
system. Home owners throughout
the rationed area have been unable
since wednesday TO Duy OH M4...u,tu

f1ux OF war workers had placed a
heavy burden ON ration boards III

boards had been delayed in issuing

tlonS included in the order are the
cities OF Norfolk, Portsmouth and

By London Paper Of
Attacking British
Off-the Record Speeches
Cited by Correspondent;
Bunk, Statement Says
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sunday, Dec. 13.-
The London Sunday Dispatch
displayed on page l today a story
from it's New York correspond
ent, Don Iddon, saying that
wendell Willkie has been max
ing unrestrained attacks upon
so-called British imperialism and
British leaders in a series of
speeches supposed to be off the
record but quoted up and down
the country.
The net result of these talks is
to create lack of faith in the British
war aims among people of power and
influence in the United States"
Mr.. Iddon said Mr.. Willkie ad-
dressed large groups of newspaper
men, bankers and industrialists and
made much the same speech "off
the record each time, but that "the
charges he made are echoing in the
clubrooms and res. aurants of New
York and Washington
Mr.. Iddon said ne attended one
of these speeches in which Mr.. Will
kie was guilty in my view of a
number of misstatements which are
anti-British. He made indiscreet re-
marks about certain of the United
Nations in the Near East and their
shortcomings.
In one instance. the sanity OF
one Allied leader, he said. was ques-
toned by one of our Allies. None
of these speeches has appeared in
print, but some milder stories which
Mr.. Willkie told have been published
in Broadway and Washington
columns"

slated Press in New York on behalf
of Wendell Willkie last night con.
