line method. Now we are doing
the same with merchant ships. Way
not take a try at carriers
Roster said the kind OF carrier
he had in mind was smaller than
the Lexington or Saratoga, when
were converted battle cruisers but
that he would not make the ships
smaller than sound naval strategy
and tactics demanded.
But | think they should have ire
mendous speed, he asserted. They
should be armed TO the teeth, so TO
speak. And I'm not so sure that
one or two heavier than average
guns ought not to be installed on
them"
He pointed out that the Senate

Washington, Oct. 3O-INS-An-
other paramount war problem to-
day was dropped in the lap of Eco
nomic Director James f. Byrnes-
the critical manpower sore-spot.
After weeks of furious effort on
stabiliZing wages and salaries
Byrnes and his economic board, la
Dor officials said, will now take a
swing at the complex manpowor
problems, Temporarily quoting a
Week-iong fight that has stir Cd
every agency in Washington.
Following a White House con-
ference with labor it was clear that
President Roosevelt will not spon-
sor any legislation on the subject
until further study has been made.
Labor sources believed that the
job belongs TO Byrnes.
President William Green OF the
AFL and Philip Murray OF the Gro
and other members OF Mr.. Roose-
yelts Labor-War Board reiterated
labor's opposition to RECOMMENDATION
OF manpower at the meeting. Green
afterward said that the Chief Exc
cutive had agreed to further ex-
ploration of the manpower problem
before resorting to compulsory ac-
ton.
Voice Objections
Green and Murray were sommon-
ed before a Senate Labor Subcoin-
mittee today to further voice their
objections to a compulsory labor
draft. The committee is consider.
ing a resolution for a sweeping in
yestigation of the entire manpow.
er situation.
Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt,
having been apparently stopped
cold in his campaign TO put through
compulsory manpower legislation,
meanwhile, was scheduled to testi-
fy before the economic board.
McNutt was said by officials in
his own agency to have retreated
from his original position-the de-
mand for a stringent federal con
troll law. They pointed to a com.
paratively obscure sentence in a
speech McNutt made Thursday be-
fore the Federal Advisory Council
for Social Security. McNutt said:
Whether labor market controls
are expected directly or indirectly,
under existing or newly created
powers is really a minor question.
I'VE are now at a point where
we have to set up an administra-
ton that will enable as 10 pro-

BALTIMORE. July 18.-An early
morning warehouse fire that caused
damage estimated at 5000 900 and
threatened large oil and gasoline
storage tanks on the waterfront, was
under intensive investigation today.
Breaking out shortly after mid
night, the fire swept through the
Western Automobile Supply Co.
warehouse, destroying thousands of
irreplaceable auto parts, paint, Oil,
gun cartridges and household wares.
Exploding cartridges added to the
fury OF the blaze and brought thou
sands of spectators to the scene.
Two hours after the first alarm
was sounded, walls of the building
began collapsing.
Investigations were begun imme-
diately by Offices of the Captain of
the Port, Naval Intelligence, Salvage
Corps, arson squad of the Fire De-
partment and the Police Depart
ment.
The first alarm sounded automat-
ically. Eleven minutes later fire.
men pulled the third alarm and
when flames threatened gasoline
and oil storage tanks of the Waller
Oil Co. and Standard Oil Co., a
fifth alarm was pulled.
-Four fireboats, 21 engine COM
panies and five truck companies
fought the blaze. Two f1remen were
injured, one seriously.

These three stood guard over the
wounded all night. Finally Nashville
made his way back to the front to
get help and contact me. With 1t.
j. B. Murdock of Everett, Mass, and
eight litter bearers, we evacuated
two wounded to Matanikau at
1890 am. on the morning Of
the goth.
"On the return trip, from Ross
and the other two we learned what
transpired during that long night
of the 18th.
Ross was in one foxhole with
three wounded men, ministering
their needs as much as possible and
keeping up rifle and tommygun fire
between times. Shortly after mid
night, two infantrymen armed with
another tommygun and a Garand
rifle with plenty of ammunition
tumbled into Ross's foxhole. 1t was
cramped with three men and three
wounded, so Ross took charge, doing
all the firing during the night.
All Three Promoted.
when verifcation of this re-
markable saga was obtained, I or
dered a merit promotion for Ross
from private to corporal and Guar
nett and Nashville to first class
privates. In addition, the regiment
is preparing papers recommending
Ross for either the Navy Cross or
the Army DCS, the latter possible
because Ross was working in con-
junction with Army units. The two
others also were recommended for
citations"
Capt. Leblanc then said Ross had
been evacuated for a two-day rest
after the trying experience. 1 went
looking for him and found him in
the divisional medical area. Ross
refused to enlarge on the exploit.
Finally, in desperation, I popped:
Feel any bad effects from your ex-
ploits, Barney?"
This damned arthritis is giving
me hell was all he had to say.
That's what makes up champions,
