(Continued from Page 1) focus public attention on the seri- ousress of the food situation and compel the AFL to drop its fight against the grocers.
 The CIO leader said the inde- pendent grocers, members of the Oakland County Food Dealers as- sociation, had called on all 400 in- dependent dealers to close their doors. The associaton last week voted to sign contracts placing their employees under the United Retail and Wholesale Employees of Amer ica (C1O).
 This agreement drew reaction from the Retail Clerks Union (AFL, which had sought a contract with the grocers. Teamsters and butchers. affiliated with the AFL, joined the clerks and tied up de- livery of foodstuffs from wholesal- CTS, most of whom have AFL con- tracts.
 The grocers have been deprived of perishable foodstufTs for several days. According to Smith, the AFL has set up an effective blockade through picketing of stores and the cooperation of wholesalers.
 Merchant stocks have dWindled until the shelves are practically bare in many stores" Smith said. "The dealers could not even buy from some large wholesale houses when they went after food them selves"
 The union fight was carried to the circuit court by the assoc!a- tion which obtained 8 temporary injunction restraining the three AFL unions from interfering with deliveries. Peaceful picketing was not prohibited, however. There will be 8 hearing before three circuit judges tomorrow on whether to make the order permanent : Governor Murray O. Van Wag- oner, conferred with Smith and Robert Poe, head of the CIO in Pontiac, last night but said he could take no action in the dispute other than to protect trucks on the state highways. He left today for a weekend with his family on Mackinac Island.

JAP PLANES HIT
 AUSTRALIA HARD
Continued from Page 1.)


 Nine enemy heavy bombers at- tackled Port Hedland, on the west Australian coast, 1,o00 miles from Darwin, in their longest incursion toward the peopled southern area of Australia.
 On the northeast sector, the enemy bombed Port Moresby, the New Guinea Allied base, and Horn Island just off the northeastern tip of Australia.
 Hit Jap Transport
 Allied heavy bombing planes at tackled Japanese transport, es- corted by destroyers, about 100 miles of northeastern New Guinea and scored five direct hits on 1t, starting fires which were visible 30 miles away.
 The Allied planes then swept low over the destroyers escort and ma- chine gunned 1t, silencing enemy anti-aircraft fire.
 Allied planes on reconnaissance shot down one Japanese fighter plane and probably destroyed an- other to bring the total toll of enemy planes in one day to II. Three Allied planes were lost in the northeastern zone operations, to make the total of Allied losses four planes
 Port Hedland had its attack yes- terday morning. The planes att tackled from great height, appar- ently afraid of fighter interception, and they did only slight damage. There was one casualty.
 By what Gen. Douglas MacAr- thurs communique called brilliant interception, Allied planes com pletely broke up the enemy air raid on Darwin, one of the heaviest of the war In any sector.
 Up 26,OO0 Feet
 In greater force than at any time since the big raid on Darwin Feb ruary 19 the enemy planes came from the north and west, flying at 26,OOO feet. Most of them estim- ated 50,000 pounds of bombs drop ped in open ground with the result that damage was negligible.
 So promptly did Allied Curtiss fighters get up that anti-aircraft guns got in only one burst as the raiders approached. They then left the show to the fighters. The enemy fighters broke away from their bombers and there was a wild 15- minute dog fight in which seven of the enemy fighters crashed. The sole Allied plane casualty was forced down across the harbor from Dar- win. Its pilot parachuted safely and the "all clear" had hardly sounded before he was back at the base. /. Allied fighters broke through to the enemy bombing formation and two of the great bombers were sent spinning to earth aflame. The en- tire enemy formation broke up and the planes fled for home. One was last seen trailing far behind the others, probably to crash before 1t reached its base.
