tralia and have soundly beaten the
biggest japanese plane force ever
to attack Port Moresby, Allied base
in New Guinea. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur announced today.
Attacking enemy shipping in Koe-
pang harbor, the American and Aus
tralian plane crews scored direct hits
on both transports and it was be-
lieVed unlikely that they had sur
Vived.
A total of 81 enemy planes, at
least, attacked Port MoreSby area
yesterday, seeking to relieve pressure
of Allied plane attacks on Japanese
bases and possibly to soften the
zone for direct attack.
Thirty-four heavy bombers, es-
corted by Is Zero fighters, tried to
attack the Port Moresby airdrome.
Cannon firing American fighter
planes went up against them and
shot down one heavy bomber, dam
aged three which were last seen

Free French Crew
Fights Off U-Boat
In Running Battle

AN EASTERN CANADIAN PORT,
May 10. CUP) - A shell-battered
merchant ship. manned by Free
French crew, has limped into port
here after a three hour running
battle with a submarine, in which
she lodged three torpedoes, with
stood a hail of gunfire, and scored
a probably direct hit on her attacker.
one sailor lost his life and four
were wounded by shrapnel during
the Smelling attack.
In the dead of night, a lookout
spotted the white trail of a torpedo
heading toward the ship. The helm
was thrown hard over, and the tor
pedo hit the bow a glancing blow,
failing to explode.
A second and third torpedo we're
lodged similarly. One narrowly miss
cd the stern, while the last glanced
off the bow, and like the first, failed
to explode
The U-boat then surfaced and
swung her deck guns on the freight
er. sending 10 shells into her super
structure, smashing the bridge and
raining the deck with shrapnel.
During this attack Seaman Maurice
Poba was killed and the others
wounded
The undersea raider then raked
the decks with machine gun bull
lets.
Waiting until the U-boat was
within 100 yards, the crew opened
up with their deck gun. The cap
tain believes they scored a direct
hit because the U-boat disappeared
in the darkness.

WITH THE UNITED STATES
ARMY IN NORTHERN IRELAND,
May 10. CUP)-Untold thousands of
American soldiers filled Northern
Ireland invasion training stations
today after blasting an unchalleng-
ed path across the submarine in
tested Atlantic in one of the great
est conveys on record.
They had come, with their own
light and medium tanks, big guns,
gun carriers, jeepS and trucks, to
join the British army in an inva-
sion of the German-held continent
under the offensive strategy of the
American general staff, and they
were rarin' to go.
AS the great sprawling convoy,
row on row and line on line of
ships of all tonnages, moved east
ward in the early stages of its voy-
age, a thunderous salvo of depth
bombs told the troops that the
United States and British WarshipS
accompanying them were command
ing Adolf Hitler's reptilian U-boatS
to keep their heads down.
From then on, in a voyage much
of which was made through thick,
leaden fog, the crossing was quiet
and, it was said authoritatively, was
one of the least exciting on record.
Toward the last, great German
Focke- Wulff planes which for
months had taken a toll of Atlantic
shipping, made their challenge, &C
cording to unofficial reports.
But the troops never saw them.
British coastal command planes, OPP
Grating hundreds of miles out at
sea, drove every raider off before
it even came in sight of the convoy.

1t was the Sind and most deter

A DOUBLE DRAFT
FOR u. S. LABOR?

The New Deal labor policy is going to
be skidding on the thinnest of all the thin
ice in its history if the government drafts
labor to fill growing war factory needs.
The question that is going to face the
policy makers can be simply stated:
VIII assignment Of laborers to war
factories automatically draft these labor
ers into the unions which control hiring
in the factories?
The question has been evaded by Wash
ington thus far in discussion Of proposed
plans to draft labor. 1t cannot continue
to be evaded if it does become necessary
for the government to tell American la
borers where they shall work, and on
what job. The evasion of it, in fact, APP
pears already to have thickenod the crls.S
in the war factories.
AS it is now, man cannot work on
any one of 80 per cent of the war projects
in this country unless some labor union
has placed its okay upon him. 1t seems
reasonable to believe that this fact alone
may have helped create shortage" Of
labor before such a shortage would other
wise have come about The unions, we
know, will not approve man-accopt
him for membership, that is-unless he
pays an initiation Zee that Is often eX-
horbitant, pays dues regularly, and other
wise meets-the unioneers' requirements.
Undoubtedly many men have been
turned away from factories and other
war projects because they lacked union
sanction, for one reason or another.
Whether their number is great enough to
make any appreciate dent in the total
scheme of things is open to question, how
ever.
There can be no question about the
labor draft policy, on the other hand,
once it has been adopted The govern
ment will have to decide whether it is
going to force men to join labor union,
whether they want to or not, in addition
to drafting them for war production.
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1942-05-19
WILL 1T BE FDR
AGAINST THE UNIONS?

President Roosevelt has said, in a now
famous pronouncement, that the govern
ment will not force any man to join any
union against his will The labor unions,
on the other hand will undoubtedly fight
to protect their virtual closed shop IN
the war industry, even after possible
labor draft is ordered
If the President keeps his woodland
there is no reason to believe he will not
a clash is unavoidable if any form of
semi compulsory war production labor
is ordered.
The union bosses are going to stand
pat with the demand that every man
who goes to work in war factory must
Join the union. You can write that down
as sure thing.
These things could happen then:
The government could renege on the
Presidents promise, and force the draft
ed" laborers to join the unions
The government could uphold the
promise, and tell the unions to what part
of the terrestrial sphere they can go.
The government could draft only those
laborers who are already union members,
which would be the rankest kind of dis
elimination.
The government could attempt the vir-
tually impossible, highly inefficient and
extremely costly task Of segregating
union> from non-union laborers, and as
signing them accordingly to closed shop
or open shop factories Gf any Of the
latter remain under the governments
policy of favoring the union in its con-
tracts.)
Whatever happens, it's going to be
worth watching.

WHAT THE SOLDIER HATES
(Salt Lake Tribune)

(Salt Lake Tribune)
An American soldier enlists and enters
the arena of war :. sustained by a sense
of justification and keen feeling of aver
sion for all his adversary represents. Nor
is he impelled by personal hatred Of the
one at whom his bullet is fired or his
bayonet is poised =.
Wars are not waged to crafty per-
sonal hatreds. No American will con-
tend that our soldiers should enter con-
flict hating any individual on the other
side or even the race he represents. "In
the name of the God of hosts" cried
Amos, we are expected to chat the evil
and love the good We hate everything
for which the Nazis stand in war and in
peace because we hate evil. Our fight
ing men hate the treachery of foes who
Unfortunately kill the halt and the
blind, who torture women and debase
children, who destroy hope and happiness,
who mock piteous pleas for mercy, who
defile the fountains of truth and justice.

NEW REINFoRCEMENTS

The spokesman warned that the
Japanese were hurting new rein
forcements into eastern Burma
Shan states in an attempt to wipe
out pockets of Chinese resistance
which threaten to disrupt Japan'S
time table.
During the next few weeks" he
said, I'VE will be seeing more bloody
battles in Burma and along the
Yunnan border"
His reference to the Yunnan bor-
der area included that territory
along the Burma Road where the
latest Japanese advance has been
halted along the steep banks of
the Salween river. The remnants
of one Japanese Spearhead have
been battered back to Lungling, 40
miles inside the border, a cOmmu-
nique revealed.
CHINESE ATTACK
The first official admission of
the gravity OF free China's position,
conceded with a disclosure from
military headquarters that Chinese
units were attacking the Japanese
held city of Tengyuen, 40 miles
| northwest of Lungling.
A military spokesman said the
Chinese had crossed the Salween
and recaptured several points on
the west bank. Youngchang GPao-
sham, 100 miles inside the China
frontier, was out of danger" he
said.
Five hundred Japanese planes
now are operating in the Burma
area and the enemys land troops
in Burma have been further rein
forced-probably for an about in
vasion of China" the spokesman
declared.
China, he said, needed principally
airplanes bombers and pursuit
planes-to counter the enemy's aer-
ial superiority.
