At Sea With the Pacific Fleet, June 18th, delayed, released for publication by the Navy July 2l 1P) - Some day when the Japs are driven out of Kiska and the Aleutians are blocked as a road of conquest, the people concern ed with such things will find time to hang medals on the men flying and fighting this com mand's Catalina flying boats. In a war where bravery is common place. there has been nothing to eXcell the stubborn courage with which these handful of men drove the brash Jap back from Dutch Harbor and are now pounding day and night at his bases on barren Kiska and Attu.
 There were few Catalinas here when the battle began nearly two weeks ago. If there are more today, the reason is not that the crews made prudent use of their lives and planes. Every day new planes arrive to replace the fall en, and they may as well pre- pare to make poSthumouS awards As might have been expected, losses were heavy, heavier than the censor cares to let me say. Everybody who knew anything about it, knew now that the Cat alinas have tough going against anti-aircraft and Jap fighting planes.
 Catalina, Durable but Slow
 The Catalina is the Navy's PBY, a huge magnifcently dur able, Arranging airplane to deal with long patrol and rough land ings in these uneasy waters. But you can't have everything. They are big and slow, too. Big, slow planes are nice targets for the opposition, and the Catalinas be- gan to catch it when the first flight of Jap bombers dropped on Dutch Harbor
 One was taking off when the bombers came in but it never got free of the water A marauding Zero cut him up with machine gun fire, killing two men, wound ing a third and set the plane aire as it ran aground. During the first day another Catalina was forced down at sea and abandoned IS miles from shore. The next day another was shot down in flames off Unalaska, her crew dead at their stations. Still another went hunting Jap car rierS hiding in the mists, and didn't come home. Two days lat CT patrol boat found pieces of wreckage and a floating body off Scotch Cap, Unimak Island. He got away but machine gun burst didn't leave much left of him.
 In the first AS hours of the in- vasion, a Catalina landed only when it was too tattered to fly any longer or ran out of fuel.

Charges WPB Does Not Measure Up

duction program because of pri-
Vate interests.
Recommending additional re-
strictions upon big business ex-
ecutiVeS now serving in the war
production effort, the Senate
committee said it believed that
the Guthrie case points TO the
conclusion that certain dollar-a-
year men within the Bureau of
Industry branches (of WPB) are
unable to divorce themselves
from their SubConscious gravita-
ton TO their own industries.
BASED ON HEARINGS
Senators said these conclusions
were based upon both public and
closed hearings into charges
made by Guthrie and others. In
cluded were details and critical
surveys of these industries; re-
frigerators, radios, metal furni-
ture, metal signs and kitchen
utensils, Laundry equipment,
metal toys and games, typewrit-
ers, building construction, and
textiles.
The ate7conclusions differ
ed widely from an earlier report
by a house military affairs sub
committee which commended eff
forts of the dollar-a-year men
and said Guthrie's charges lack
ed proof other than as evidence
Of sharp differences Of opinion
among war production officials.
ACTION LACKING
Philip D. Reed, chief of the
WPB Bureau of Industry branch
es, was cited by the Senate Com
mittee as not having taken the
necessary action to obtain the
maximum conversion of private
industry to war production in the
shortest possible time"
Reed was Guthrie's immediate
superior when Guthrie and his
friends quit WPB, and the report
said Reed was serving WPB ION
a dollar-a-year basis, on leave
from his position as chairman of
the board of the General Electric
company from which company
he is president receiving a salary
and bonus totaling $4,000 a
year.
The committee has not been
impressed with Mr.. Reeds abil-
ity or accomplishments" the re-
port said.
Chairman Truman in his state
ment said:
This committee has repeated
ly concluded that the work of the
OPM and WPB has been hamp-
cred by the extent to which their
personnel was predominately
drawn from the big business
groups"

WASHINGTON, June 18-(P)
"A demand for changes in men
and methods of the War Produc-

chairman Truman (D-Mo) of the
special senate committee inves-
tigating National Defense as he
issued a report criticizing what
the committee termed "damag-

major civilian industries to war
purposes.
The WPB has not fully meas
ured up to this responsibility"
Truman said in a statement
CHANGE ASKED
He went on to say that full
fillment of this responsibility
will require a change in both the
organization and personnel of
some branches and divisions in
the WPB."

held part of the charges made
against WPB by Robert p. Guth-

ANN ARBOR, Sept. 26. - The
quiet untangling of summer school
students from regular termers has
practically been accomplished and
house mothers are breat in G
quietly again.
The last of the summer school,
ers were still taking final exam
nations when the first contingent
of fall campusites were banging
their trunks around in the halls of
the dormitories. and any collegian
will tell you that he is in no sweet
mood of gentleness and light with
a final on the next days schedule.
Quiet hours" as they are called,
somewhat doubtfully, were prac-
tically impossible to keep in Jordan
Hall, mostly because Jordan Hall
is freshman women's dorm. and
the recipe for keeping newly ar
rived fresh m e n under tight
muzzle has, as yet, not been dis
covered.

Noble Project

It's noble project, though. and
even IL it does backfire, the Union
and the League must be credited
with giving the freshmen and the
transfers a chance to show their
initiative.
Next week-Monday, in fact
the horrible process of the health
exam" begins. Every person who
enters the university must undergo
a thorough physical examination
w h n takes approximately four
hours. The word thorough" is not
lightly used, in this case. because
the student is even made to read
various tongue twisters to see if he
has any actual or potential vocal
defect.

Wouldn't Be Hoarding, Would It?

A campaign to have householders store up coal against use next winter and in la- ter months has been proposed by Interior Secretary Harold IckeS. He claims that starting late this summer there is going to be a heavier drain than ever on the coun- try'S available fuel supplies and the house. hold consumers ought to be prepared to face coalless and fuelleSs days in the win ter of 1942-43. However, he did suggest that as much coal as could be crammed into cellars be stored up this spring and early summer.
 This may be good advice, but it almost sounds as if the cabinet officer was ask ing us to hoard fuel supplies. And we thought that this was not to be encour- aged At least it isn't where foods are concerned. Maybe it's different because coal isn't something that can be handled as easily as bag of sugar or tin can. However, if everyone were able to take hlS advice and could store up great quantities of fuel this spring without disturbing the market it would help out the coal dealer.
 The trouble lies in the fact that there are limitations to all these shortcuts. Everyone isn't able to afford the luxury ot filling his coal-bin six or seven months III. advance of use. And despite the high wages prevalent throughout defense manufacturing areas there are those who find that living costs today are such that they find themselves just able to get along. All of which doesn't mean we won't try to cooperate with Uncle Sam in every way possible to help win the war, but there are limitations, you know.

Cripps Comes Back

He looks like an assistant cashier who has given up all hope of becoming cashier, or perhaps an undistinguished associate yprofessor in an undistinguished midwest ern college. He is partly bald His teeth are partly bad. At his best, he might remind you of Woodrow Wilson. He IS no Churchill as an orator His manner of speaking is austere and he does not bother to leaVen the bad news with good glib generalitieS Yet Sir Stafford CrlppS today has totally captured the imagina- tion of the English masses. In his open ing speech as war cabinet member and new leader of the House of Commons he told the English that all eXtravagances- including popular amusementS would have to go, naming specifically such peo- ple'S favoriteS as racing and boxing. They loved it.
 He is political misfit. His father, the first Baron Parmoor, was a prominent lawyer. Sir Stafford is a lawyer and good one, good enough that he has earned $100000 a year. In 1927 he was appointed kings counsellor, in 1880 solicitor general. But he is radical" too. Four years ago the British Socialists expelled him. He was conSorting with left wingers, said they, and pushing too strongly for popular front with Russia. He insisted then that combination between democratic Eng land and communistic Russia was a natural alliance to stop the dynamic po- litical aggressions of Hitler and his threat ened military conquests.
 He is still misfit politically. But he is fitting neatly into the fighting mad Bri- tain of today, the Britain that is demand ing an end to the long. series of DunkirkS, the Britain that is demanding positive offensive action to help the Russia that CripOs has been so right about Sir Staf- lords one-time detractOrs are jumping in bed with him.

Woman's Work

With agriculture and industry facing a severe shortage of manpower, women's part in our war effort is becoming role of increasing importance. Already the Department of Labor is surveying the pos sibility of large-scale recruiting of women workers to forestall the threatening slow down. In many vital war production plants the goal of round-the4clock n1a- chine operation is not being met because of lack of skilled workmen. At the same time the country's farmers are seriously concerned with the continuing shift of farm labor to war industries.
 The Labor Department finds poten- tial force of six million women workers available by the end of 1922. It suggests as a first source those now unemployed or temporarily idle because of priorities or factory conversions. Many other workers might be found among the young women who will complete their schooling this year. Not until these sources are utilized does the department advise call ing on the estimated two million house. wives between the ages of 18 and A who could be spared from homes where there are no small children.

We'd like to write column about New Britain tonight for the good old Hardware City was never more in the news than 1t has been in the last few days, Take, for example, the suggestion of State Senator John L.
