Washington, Oct. 7-(UP)-The Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions today called It's fifth c0nstitu- tionai convention ot meet in Boston, beginning November Q.

 "Our country Is now engaged in a struggle the outcome of which will decide. whether as a nation and as indlviduaIs-we live or we die. Every American muset therefore be made fully aware of his grave re- responsibilities and his duty to fight for victory. This is the task of labor.

A trator of his estate. Damages of S25. 900 are sought in his case. The other plaintiff Is John Broderick who seeks $15, 900.
 The complaints state the workers fell from scaffold when the rung of Q ladder which was part of it broke. Although the men were hired by the federal government for the work, 1t is alleged the city is re- sppnsible for the accident because it furnished the materials used.
 A special defense filed by the city states that the city was performing public governmental duty in con- nection with the work and there fore is not liable for negligent per- 1ormance of such duty unless made so by statute. It also points out that MT. Broderick received $59057 for hospital bills and com pensation from a special fund for workers set up by the federal gov- ernment and the other worker re- ceived $81S.87, and therefore further claims against the city are not proper.
 Bone fractures and decorations and cOntusions are listed as injuries in both complaints.

Australian Corporal Crawled Through Jungles Four Days

Somewhere in New Guinea, Oct. I-Delayed)-(UP)-The story of an Australian Corporal who crawled through the jungleS of the Owen Stanley mountains for 20 days was revealed today when two Australian officers and 31 infantrymen arrived here after being cut off from their forces since August 28th.
 The Corporal refused to be bur- den to his comrades, who had ban danged his badly-shattered leg. He crawled on his hands and one knee through some of the most rugged country in the world before he final ly reached safety.
 The lost company was led by Cap- tain Sidney Buckler, 23-year-old graduate of Duntroon Military Col- lege. These men, veterans of the middle east fighting, had been to- gether for two and one half years before they climbed up the slopes of the Owen Stanley range to relieve weary Australian troops trying to hold the Japanese at Kokoda on the southern slope.
 That was on August 2e. The night and the following day, the Japanese launched the fierce attack which ultimately carried them across the mountain barrier and ali the way to Ioribalwa. S2 miles from Port Moresby.
 Buckler said his machlne-gunners moved down the Japanese at Q ter- rife rate, but they were no match for the overwhelming superiority in numbers and infiltration of the enemy.
 'The Japs wore three different kinds Of uniforms," said Buckler. 'sTheir advance guard had Austral- ian type uniforms camouflaged with nntl-gas eapes. The next wave were uncamouflaged and stripped Co the waist. The third wave wore gegula- ton khakl.v
