to have thrown a strategic Jap

A Chungking military spokes-

which had gained a foothold at
Chuhsien, key rail center OF
western Chekiang province, and
possession of the city.
VITAL BASE
Chekiang, on China's East
coast, is important as a poten-
tial base for Allied air attacks on
Japan.
The Chinese had previously
acknowledged loss of the Chuh-
sien airport and a japanese
thrust into the town itself, fol-
lowing a Tokyo claim to a full
victory there Saturday.
A Chinese government spokes-
man expressed China's gratitude
for what he called a prompt and
generous response to appeals for
help from both the United
States and Great Britain, but
declared that "the situation re-
mains grave"
The next few months will be

WASHINGTON, June 8 -W.P
American soldiers, sailors and
marines today were assured Of
becoming the worlds best paid
fighters.
The Senate and House have
agreed on legislation increasing
the minimum pay of service men
to $50 a month, and setting up a
system of allowances for de-
pendents of those men who earn
up to S78 a month.
Only formalities remain to be
observed on the military pay
bill. The new scales take effect

S45-a-month pay of the Austral-
ians, the next highest paid fight
ers, and the 30 cents a month
paid the japanese private. The
Soviet Union pays its privates
about 81 a month.
The months of wrangling over
the bill ended yesterday when

BY JOE JAMES CUSTER
United Press Staff Correspondent


PEARL HARBOR, June 9 -
U.P)-A young Navy ensign, in
a bullet-riddled rubber raft
afloat amid the Japanese fleet,
saw three aircraft carriers burst
into flames under the attack of
American planes.
Ensign George H. Gay, Jr.,
IS, (813 Hardie ST. Houston,
Texas, told his story at the Ma
val hospital here.
He had just launched a tor
pedo at one of the carriers
when his plane was shot down.
He was wounded. His compan-
ions were killed.
Gay clambered aboard the
rubber raft, which floated to
him from the Wreckage of his
plane. There with Japanese
cruisers and destroyers racing
all about him, he watched the
battle for hours.
CARRIER AFLAME
He saw one of Japan's two
largest aircraft carriers, of the
$4,000 Ton Kaga class, in flames
when he came fully to his sens
es-possibly victim of his tor
pedo.
He watched Navy dive bomb
bers 60 in to action, through
an inferno of anti-aircraft fire.
The other carrier of the Kaga
class-there are only two-and
smaller carrier burst in o
flames.
