Leader Of Three Raids
On Jap Stronghold Of
|Rdbdu| Decorated
! Maj. w. G. Benn Credited
With Blasting 100000
Tons Of Shipping
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Oct. 27.-
Maj. William G. Benn, leader of
three devastating raids on the Jap
anese stronghold Of Rabaul, New
Britain, in which 100000 tons of
shipping were believed blasted, was
awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross by Gen. Douglas Macarthur
today for extraordinary heroism,
courage and leadership"
Maj. Benn led a series of raids
starting october l and continuing
through october Is which Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters said
smashed Japanese ships and air
dromes in support of the battle of
the Solomon Islands.
All Planes Return Safely.
Each time he returned to report
"all our planes returned safely"
Maj. Benn is from Washington,
Pa. His wife now is living in
Riverside, Calf.
Here is the record of the Flying
Fortress squadron led by Maj. Benn:
The night Of October 1-2: A
15,000-ton transport was hit and
set af1re; a 7,OO0-ton cargo ship
was hit and left smoking; one
cruiser and one unidentified vessel
probably were damaged. Two sticks
OF bombs were dropped across
Lakunai airdrome, causing heavy
explosion.
The night of October 1928: A
cruiser, destroyer, two large mer-
chantmen, a transport and small
cargo vessel were believed damaged.
A direct hit was scored on the
cruiser, which also was strafed from
low altitude.
Merchantmen Believed Sunk.
The night of October 24-25: Two
5,000-ton merchantmen were hit
and believed sunk, a large mer-
chantman was damaged and one
gunboat was blown up. In addition,
hits were scored on dock areas, caus-
ing explosions.
Headquarters estimated that the
total tonnage Of Japanese shipping
sunk or put out of commission by
these raids amounted to 100000.
Maj. Benn's citation said:
"All three of these missions en-
countered severe weather condi-
tions en- route to and from the tar
get, making navigation exceedingly
! difficult.
due to low cloud formations over
the target area the attacks were
launched at attitudes ranging from
200 to 5000 feet. All attacks were
made In the face of heavily concen-
| trated anti-aircraft fire."

Fuel Oil Coupons

Registration Of Dealers
Postponed as Forms

Fuel oil coupons in the 30-State
area of the East and Middle West,
including the District and nearby
Maryland and Virginia, will have q
unit value of 10 gallons, unless ad-
justed upward or downward, the
Office Of Price Administration an

snags in getting the rationing pro-
cedure under way promptly devel-

dealer registration failed to arrive.
In Maryland and Virginia counties
it was expected that some time
would elapse before rationing boards
could act on applications aof indi-
vidual consumers, who have been
asked to file them by November
It was pointed out that fuel oil will
be given those who need it on the
promise that they will surrender the
proper coupons to dealers when they
finally are made available.

Venerea| Disease Rate
Lowered in Army
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 27-The Army
appears to be gaining in its battle
with venerear diseases. Already
having the lowest rate ever recorded
in American armies, in the last six
months it has improved its record.
1t. Thomas B. Turner of WASH
ington, who has charge of this work,
told the American Public Health
Association today that in the last
six months the rate has dropped
from 40 or more per thousand, where
it had been for the past two years,
to 80.
The drop. he declared, conceded
with the placing Of venereal control
officers In each headquarters can
tonments.
Closing of commercial prostitu-
ton houses in many areas was cred
tied with much of the improvement.
Paradoxically, figures gathered by
the Chicago Health Department
show that girl friends, pickups and
casuals-women who take no money
are now accounting for higher
percentages than prostitutes.

register with area boards the amount
of fuel they have on hand and the
amount of storage space they have
available, in order to get the in
ventory coupons" by which the OPA
will maintain a constant check on
fuel oil rationing.
Postponing the dealer registration
in the District will not affect the No
vember deadline for filing OF ap-
plications with area boards by indi-
vidual users in the District, it was
pointed out. Those not filing before
the deadline, an OPA spokesman
said, will be given oil on a pro-rated
basis.
Large consumers may take part
of their allotments in Class cou-
pons, equaling 10 units, and worth
100 gallons each. Each Class
coupon will be for one unit, or 10
gallons. The number of units re-
ceived will depend on climatic con-
ditions in the applicants area, size
of his house and other factors.
Paul M. O'Leary, deputy OPA ad-
ministrator in charge of rationing,
urged homeoWners in the rationed
area to use the greatest prudence"
in burning fuel oil in order to build
up cushion against abnormally
cold weather.
The heating year-October / to
September 80, 1943-has been di-
vided into five heating periods, and
the lO-gallon unit may be adjusted
by period or by zone.
Further f1exibility is made posi-
BILE by permitting the limited use
OF coupons of one period in the
period preceding or Immediately
following.

| Newest British
| Bomber Made
Mainly of Wood

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-Britain's
new twin-engined reconnaissance
bomber, the Mosquito, which has
been penetrating deep into Ger
many by day, is constructed mainly
of wood, it was revealed today.
This fact, hitherto kept secret, was
revealed because the bomber ap-
parently has fallen into enemy
hands.
The Mosquito is reverse in the
trend toward metal construction Of
aircraft, and is being built by the
De Havilland Co. throughout the
empire after thorough tests. The
use of wood, of course, was caused
by bottleneck in light metal ma
terials, and the Daily Mail said
that in some circumstances the
Mosquito proved less vulnerable to
gunfire than metal machines.
Other details of the Mosquito still
are guarded, but its armament is
believed to include four 20-miln-
meter cannon and four machine
guns.

Look Under the Surface

Don't be deceived by the detail which the Congressional banking and currency committees are writing into their anti imitation bills. Look beneath the doo- dads and gewgaws and what do you find? Exactly. The buck is passed to the President. The Senate version, which comes closer to having teeth, would stabilize pay at the September Is level. At that time pay scales had risen so much above those of August, 1889, that buy ing power was up more than 25 per cent. The Senate proposes to peg it there.
 Both Senate and House bills specific ally give the President the power to make adjustments whenever, sin his opinion, tnequities exist or the prosecution of the war will be aided by such changes. This, of course, removes all onus from Congress and places an enormous burden upon an already overworked President. It makes of the ostensible wage peg a futile gesture.
 Moreover, both bills fix the ceiling upon the prices of farm products at or above parity But parity is mercurial. It changes almost hour by hour as the prices of the farmers purchases change. And the cost of what the farmers buy is controlled by wage scales. By his power to adjust wages the President is given complete authority to manipulate both wages and farm produce prices.
 Therefore, although the committees nave given the appearance of accepting their legislative burden and fixing stand ards for the battle against imitation, in fact they have tossed the hot potato to the President. There is much disagree n1ent as to the formulae which should oe applied to establish these ceilings. Some want them high some want them ow. Perhaps wage-earners should get 43 per cent more buying power now TT when there is little to be bought m than they got in 1929, when our industrial plant was booming on civilian produc- tion. Let's waive that for the moment.
 The important thing is that Congress is abdicating The legislative branch IS ducking out and leaving the nasty task up to the President. MT. Roosevelt may want the power, or may not. Surely ne would appear to have enough work to do, as Commander-in-C of our armed forces and unofficial chairman ot the board of directors of the United Ma tions, without this chore. Even that IS immaterial. Policy, we repeat, Is Con gress' province. It is to make national policy that we pay 531 representatives and 96 senators, provide them with excel lent working quarters and ample sta11S'
