CAUSE,
As Told to LEE VAN Alta.
(Findl Installnent of Fourteen.J
fCdpt. Damon Cause concludes
the story OF escape.
For a moment we couldn't believe
our eyes. Neither could the Japs.
We saw a group of perhaps 20 Of
them comforting on the beach. Only
two or three appeared to be around
the boat and the plane. I slammed
the tiller hard over and logged Lit
tie Swede," our Diesel engine, into
full life while Osborne hoisted all
sails. We were so close to shore we
could see the expressions on our
surprised enemy's faces. They were
utterly amazed.
We~sknew our best chance for.
escape from disaster and death was
to attempt to dodge them by cut
ting in and around the numerous
small islands of the group. We
played hide and seek all that after
noon with the Japanese float plane
skimming low over islets where we
anchored under the protection of
dense tropical growth Throughout
the day the roar of the patrol vessel
sounded as if it were within inches
of our hiding place.
We weighed anchor again that
night and churned southwark, put
ting as many miles between us and
the archipelago as possible. We were
more careful of our islands after
that and we sailed the Japanese
flag most of the time instead of the
American bunting. When we made
sorties ashore one of us would al
ways remain with the boat, covering
the other while he palavered with
natives or searched for water.
To many of the natives we met in
the lonely. isolated groups of islands,
we were the same as Japs. They had
seen the American and Jap flags
bat they had never seen people of
either race In those waters it was
a definite asset to leave the impress
sion that we were Nipponese. Once,
under cover Of dusk, we sailed
within 200 yards of a northbound
Jap convoy of two heavy cruisers
and two giant transports. We fer
vently wished we had some tor
pedoes aboard the Ruth Lee. It
would have been sure kill.
We set sail again early that eve
ming, bound for another island
group where we hoped to replenish
our food stocks. Two days later
we reached the appointed spot and
sailed right in toward the harbor.
Lloyd was studying the shore with
our binoculars. He grabbed me sud-
denly. Rocky, look over there" he
whispered. I looked and nearly
froze at what saw. Dozens of Jap
gun emplacements were staring us
in the face while beyond them we
could see the Nipponese flag flying
over large enemy garrison. The
Ruth Lee almost spun on her keel
as we left the harbor. We were so
tired and so sleepy we had almost
landed right into the Japs' hands.
Evening star., 1942-11-16

each Of us at our fill Of canned
peaches and cream.
The Ruth Lee completed the voy-
age as she had started it-on her
own. We chugged into the Australian
harbor, made out our formal entry
reports and officially turned the
vessel over to the Australian gov
ernment for use as a patrol ship or
junk. Lloyd and l both agreed that
its qualifications for the junk pile
far exceeded its attributes for fu-
ture service. When we finally an
chored her for the last time, we
had S gallons of drinking water and
l gallon of our coconut fuel oil
mixture left.
The days since then have been
exciting and have made what we
have been through seem almost
worthwhile. We had a whole after
noon with Gen. Macarthur. We
were both awarded Distinguished
Service Crosses; we have had good
solid meals and we have slept in
beds with clean sheets-an expert
ence we hadn't had since the day
we began the battle for Bataan.
We've had an opportunity to cable
our families and we've had a chance
to learn the momentous news which
has taken place in the world since
the last days of Bataan and Cor
regidor.
We both are just as anxious as
we. were the day the war began
to get our crack at the Japs. We
have had it once their way. Now
we would like to try it the Amer
ican way. Bataan and Corregidor
are just as important to us now
as they were seven or eight months
ago. Most of our close Army friends
are still there and some day soon
we hope to go back to the Philip
pines to get them.
The stories they will tell will prob
ably be even more narrowing and
more exciting than ours. We were
just two officers who wanted free
dom again-and had enough physi-
cal strength left in us to do it.
We hope the men left behind on
Bataan and Corregidor will expe-
rience the same feeling we did when
We saw friendly land for the first
time in seven months, when we knew
that our days as hunted animals
were over, and when we knew there
would be square meals and free
air and people we knew to greet us.
1t was an experience no one can
appreciate when two weary Ameri-
cans finally comprehend they have
successfully escaped from a country
living under the hellish rule of the
Japs. Many people have since asked
us how we felt when we first saw
Australia.
We felt like two kids on Christmas
morning.

Official Labor Policy Announced
To Safeguard Working Standards

Washington, ID. c. An official
statement of labor policy in the war
production program, designed to safe
guard the rights of workers and at the
same time promote maximum prOduc-
tiOn effort, was made public by Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins.
The labor policies were approved by
the War, Navy and Labor Depart
ments and have been endorsed by the
American Federation Of Labor. Post
ers giving the text of the statement
will be displayed for the information
of workers in every plant and factory
in the nation. The text follows:
1.-The President has said that unre-
lenting production is the price of peace
with victory and to this end he has
ordered all war facilities to proceed
Immediately on 24-hours day, Z
days-a-week production basis. Time is
short and the Presidents command
must be complied with now.
1.-The challenge to our freedom can
and must be met at once by heroic eff
forts on the part of management, la
Dor and Government. Wherever and
whenever local labor markets are ex-
hausted, and pending conversion of

erS and the training of new workers,
men and women now on the job must
keep every machine running cOntinu-
ously regardless of the sacrifice en-
tailed.
"ShOrtages in available labor in the
critical days ahead require relaXations
in accepted standards. But every eff
fort should be directed toward short
ening the period during which all-out
production is dependent upon continu-
ance of these relaXations. Industry
must convert machinery and recruit
and train labor as fast as humanity
possible to assure early return to
sound labor standards which over any
protracted period are essential to the
maintenance of maximum production.
Any other policy would be short-sight-
ed since ultimately the quality and
quantity of our production would be
seriously impaired. These standards
are the mechanisms of efficiency. In
dustrial history proves that reason
able hours, fair working conditions,
and proper wage scale are essential
to high production.

Metuchen wishes to meet us on the

Vice President thinner outlined the
meeting of our conference committee
with Local Union No. 81 at which many
misunderstanding were cleared up.
The committee recommends that any
of the members going to the Equitable
to work ask for transfers to No. 81.
Brothers Walter Cochran Jr. and Mar
tin Hansen were granted transfer
cards at our last meeting.
This local was late in taking the
collection for the March of Dimes and
many had already contributed, but
Brother Davies reported $7.2O taken
in, with several floors to be heard
from. 1t is never too late to give to
this worthy cause.
Brother Bud Templeton left Fort Dix
for Fort Francis, Wyoming last Sunday,
only four days after his induction. How
glad we would be to get report of
the whereabouts of all of our members
who are in the service Please cooper
ate by keeping our secretary posted.
Brother Joseph Bradbury was
through the shop last week. He says
he is feeling much better, but is afraid
his potting days are over. We hope
he may have many happy years of re-
tirement ahead of him.
The mOuldmaker who wanted to
work in two places has decided that
if he could not do that he would take
the other job which seems to be the
best thing for all concerned. He did
not show up to answer the charges
against him, so they still stand and
his request for withdrawal card
was denied.
A protest was made against some
of our members spreading false rumors
throughout the shop. They are not
funny to those who have sons serving
with the armed forces. o. c. 45.
