LONDON, Sept 7 (NANA).-One
OF the most useful types Of American
aircraft in the Raj is the medium
bomber-the Hudson, Boston, Mary
land and Baltimore, with the
Mitchell and Marauder coming
along. They have flown tens of
thousands of hours and millions of
miles over enemy territory and
have dropped thousands of bombs
which have caused immense de-
struction to the enemy.
Medium bombers are all two
motor types, coming halfway be-
tween the lighter, single motor dive
bombers such as the American
Dauntless and the big heavy four
motor types like the Lancaster and
Fortress. The Glenn Martin Balti-

guns and they carry over a ton of
bombs. They play most i'm

Hudson Was First.
The first of the mediums to see
action was the famous Lockheed
Hudson-the first American design
ed aircraft ordered in quantity by
tho
placed with the Lockheed Com
pany in 1898, and the first of these
were in service when the war be-
gan. Allocated to the coastal COM
mand, they soon became popular
with the RAF crews because, since
they were developed from the Lock-
heed "a civil transports, they
have roomy, comfortable cabins
which are appreciated after several
hours On patrol.
Hudsons have flown day ano
night, patroling the North Sea and
Atlantic in all weathers. They were

Saying Japanese labor groups were
shot like cattle by their own troops
rather than permit their surrender"
on one of the Solomon Islands re-
Gently retaken by United States
forces, Undersecretary of the Navy
James V. Forrestal declared yester-
day there is no appeasement, no
negotiation with the ravaging forces
that have been loosed on the world" J"
In an address delivered on the
occasion of presenting the Army
Navy production award to civilian
personnel, officers and men of the
United States Navy Yard here, Mr.
Forrestal said: The celebration of
Labor Day this year has particular
significance.
ut reminds us, first, that the
rights and liberties of labor, like
the rights and liberties of men at
all times and in all places, cannot
endure unless those who enjoy them
are ready to fight for them, and,
second, that the rights of labor carry
with those rights responsibilities
fully as great"
Acting on behalf of Secretary of
the Navy Knox, he presented the
Army and Navy "E' to Rear Ad-
miral William Furlong, commandant
of the Navy Yard.
Commencing the Navy Yards per-
sonnel for splendid work" the
Undersecretary said that here at
Pearl Harbor and the great theater
of war in the Pacific labor has
proven It's readiness to fight" He
asserted such fights and such en-
deavors were necessary because "the
men who lead Japan and Germany
have no place in their PHILOSOPHERS
for either our national or inter-
national aims of justice, liberty and
human and national rights"
They govern their own countries
by murder; they would rule the
world by the whip. With them labor
is the slave of the ruler" he said.
