to await the unloading of marine
troops who weren't scheduled to go
ashore until the raiders had the
situation we'll in hand. We were
anxious to see what was going on
and three times we accidentally
drifted in close until the marine
commander reprimanded us.
During the afternoon our de-
stroyerS went inside the harbor
and shelled Tanambogo and Gavutu,
In Tanambogo practically the en-
tire island was honeycombed with
underground positions built of
cement and sheet metal. The ma
rines had plenty of trouble there.
We transferred to a lighter used
for taking tanks ashore and spent
that night and the next night
aboard. We ate Army field rations
which really were delicious. You're
supposed to take one hour to eat
a can of these rations, but we
gulped them down in five minutes.
During Friday some Japs swan
to the wreckage of a four -engined
flying boat off Gavutu. Only wing
was above the water with the hull
submerged, but somehow the Japs
set up machine gun and started
firing on our boats approaching
Gavutu.
The marines finally located the
source of the firing and silenced 1t.
Saturday we stood by ready to
land troops and kept circAng while
our bigger ships-transports and
warships-maneuve in the big
roadstead between Tulagi and
Guadalcanal.
% Big Bombers Arrive.
At mid morning we received word
Jap bombers were coming, and at
1880 we saw dogf1ght over the
channel. Just before noon we saw
% big bombers coming in from the
east over Florida Island. They
were flying real low-juSt off the
water. Our ships were maneuver-
ing, one off Tulagi, the other off
Guadalcanal. The Japs flew right
between them.
Our anti-aircraft from all ships
opened as soon as the Japs came
into range, and the sky was a solid
sheet of fire. I saw seven Japs go
down. Four of them received direct
hits from one of our cruisers.
When hit, the planes became balls
of fire, plunged into the water,
burned briefly, then sank without q
trace. The remaining planes went
out of sight, and we learned only
one left the area entirely-with it's
port motor on fire and two fighters
on its tail.
A destroyer was hit by bombs Sat-
urday. We learned that on Friday
one transport had been set afire by
a plane crashing into its deck. We
saw the fire Saturday, and it seemed
under control then.
We tied up to our transport Sat-
urday night. High winds broke us
loose, but we kept near the ship.
At am. Sunday word passed from

Army Air Forces--trtlly q great
plane.
Diverted tn RAF

Diverted to Raj.
The Douglas Boston was the sec
ond type of American medium
bomber to enter the Raj and does
great work every day, flying IN
formation from England, escorted
by Spitfires carrying out daylight
raids on the enemy in France and
from Egypt hammering RommeFs
supply lines. The Boston was origl-
nally ordered for France. and many
which were delivered are still with
the Vichy French Air Force at
Morocco. When France collapsed
orders were diverted to the Raj.
The first Bostons, or DB7S as thev
were then called. were used for
training in the new and unfamiliar
tricycle. landing technique, The
Raj had not previously experienced
any nose-wheel type of undercar-
riage.
Then later and improved ver-
sion, the Boston ''3" was placed in
operational service. and modifica-
tions gave it formidable sting
against enemy fighters. Four fixed
machine guns were intalled in the
nose, two machine guns on q
movable mounting in the rear
cockpit, and another underneath
to guard the tail. All vulnerable
spots were armor plated. These
provisions, combined with a top
speed of 800 miles an hour. and a
2,000-pound bomb weight make the
Boston an ugly customer.
Rundstedt in France and Rommel
in Africa know the Boston is not
any tea party for them. 1t is used
in the United States Army Air
Force as the "A20C."
Maryland Gives Service.
The Maryland gives good service
in the Middle East. Like the Bos-
ton, it was originally ordered by
France, as the Glenn Martin 167.
The RAF took over the orders, set
six machine guns and added armor
to them and operated them in Libya.
The Marylands have flown thou
sands of hours in operations over
the whole Mediterranean area. They
have photographed Taranto and
reconnoitered over Sardinia. Few
italian fighters can catch them with
their speed of 294 miles an hour,
Marylands have even caught up
with Italians streaking homeward
dlsposing Of them quickly with their
six machine guns. The United
States Army does not use Mary
lands very much. Those in service
are termed "a 225."
A development of the Maryland
the Martin Baltimore--is now at
tacking enemy communications in
the Middle East. Baltimores have
two ,700-horsepower motors, which
give it a top speed of 312 miles ar
hour. 1t is heavily armed with 8
four-gun power-operated turret, be-
sides fixed guns in the wings. Al
though comparatively new in serv-
ice, 1t already has made its name
in flying from Egypt, and from
Malta. In the United States Army
Air Force, the Baltimore is The

~ the Assoc = ed Press.

D the Assoc ed Press.
The War Labor Board held yester-
day that any further wage increases
IN the automobile industry ''at the
present time" would be contrary to
"the interests Of the war effort.
The ruling was given in a formal
opinion written by Wayne L. Morse,
public member of the board, denying
a request of the United Automobile
Workers, C1O, for an increase of 81
a day in wages of the 115,0O0 work.
ers OF the Ford Motor Co. The
boards action was announced pre-
viously.
"An all out production effort on
the part of American workers does
not have to be bought or bribed by
inflationary general wage increases
which in turn endanger our war
economy and in the long run de-
crease real wages" Mr.. Morse wrote
The opinion held that Ford wages
permitted a good standard of living
and have been recognized as the
highest wages in the automibile in
dustry." It added:
"The granting of general wage
increase in this case would amount
in fact to creating a gross inequity

Of the wages paid In the industry

The proposed security act. Mr.
Biddle pointed out. was prepared
under his direction after an ex-
haustive study by Justice Depart
ment officials.
Preserves United States Standards.
1--WE believe" he said, that it
would prove an effective solution to
our wartime security problem, and
at the same time would preserve in
every essential, our American stand
ards OF fairness and justice"
Mr.. Biddle further explained the
proposed legislation is not intended
as substitute for existing treason
laws, but is designed to expand the
provisions of law relating to the
harboring of persons who are agents
OF or members of the armed forces
OF an enemy nation who are engaged
in hostile acts in the interest Of an.
enemy nation" .-s.,..
Under the bill, any person guilty
of any of these hostile acts, he ex-
planned, could be punished by death
or by Imprisonment for life or, in the
courts discretion, given a shorter
term. In the case of corporation,
he said, a fine of not more than
100000 would be authorized.
To aid in its enforcement, the bill
imposes a duty on every person to
report to the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation or some other law en-
forcement agency any information
in his possession concerning viola
ton of the proposed new law. The
maximum penalty for failure to re-.
port such information would be a
fine of $4,000. or imprisonment for
10 years. ...
Prosecutions Speeded Up. -"
Other provisions would bring
within the scope of laws covering
internal security the killing or in
juring OF person as part of a
plot to aid the enemy. Such an act
now is a violation only of State law.
Give prosecutions under the War
Security Act precedence over all
other cases in court. Another pro-
vision to avoid delay would permit
the court to defer until the end Of
the trial all motions and pleas which
might be used to gain time. Provi-
!. sion would be made also that no
error would be ground for upsetting
conviction unless it. caused sub
stantial prejudice to the accused"
"The inadequacy of existing Grim.
inal statutes in time of war" Mr..
Biddle said, sis illustrated by the
absence Of any provision under
which persons who are preparing
to commit acts of sabotage or espi-
onage may be propery prosecuted.
If an enemy agent, for instance,
plans campaign of sabotage. and
collects for that purpose large guam
titles of explosives and incendiary
materials, he is not guilty of any
serious crime unless he come close
enough to the actual dynamiting or
burning of a factory or a bridge to
be charged with an attempt
Similarly, man who builds a
powerful short-wave transnitter SO
that he can send vital war informa-
ton to the enemy may not be
guilty under present laws, of
serious crime. Yet, 1t is obvious that
in time of national peril we must
be able to apprehend and punish a
man who, with intent to damage
seriously our war effort, is caught
before the damage Is done"
