Cox Regrets Meyer Laid
'DereIiction' 10 Jones
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Cox, Democrat, Of
Georgia told the House today he
regretted that Eugene Meyer, Wash
ington newspaper publisher, had
accused Secretary of Commerce
Jones of "dereliction of duty and
lack of foresight"
Apparently referring to accusa-
tions that Mr.. Jones was partly re-
sponsible for the rubber shortage,
Mr.. Cox said in brief floor speech:
Il have often publicly applauded
Eugene Meyer, but I must regret
that he has seen fit to accuse Jesse
Jones of dereliction of duty and
lack of foresight. Jesse Jones is
held high enough in public esteem
so that the people of this country
are not going to permit criticism
to rivet him to the rocks for the
sin of too great a loyalty to his
chief, whose greatest fault history
will probably say, is too great a love
for all mankind"
Mr.. Cox said that "this is no
time to look for scapegoat."

BY NELSON Nj. SHEPARD.

Guns from the Manila Bay
forts devastated two Japanese
tank and truck columns oper-
ating on the southern shore of
Bataan and sank a medium
sized enemy vessel, a late COM
munique from the War Depart
ment reported today.
At the same time it was reported
that Filipino patrols near DigoS, in
the SouthernmoSt island of Minda-
mao, raided and burned eight ware
houses containing japanese food
supplies at the nearby towns of Serb
and Tamyouf These raids were
evidently made by the same guer-
rilla forces that burned % ware
houses and destroyed other supplies
at large japanese base at RIGGS
last week.
Withstand % Air Raids.
Beleaguered Corregidor and other
forts commanding Manila Bay,
which have withstood % enemy air
raids for the last three days, were
again under constant fire Of artii-
lery today. japanese batteries
from the heights of Southern Ba-
taan and the Cavite shore bases
across the bay continued to pour
explosives onto the four bay forts.
The expert American gunners,
however, still packed a sufficient
wallop to rake the Bataan shore
with heavy fire. Shells from these
guns sank the japanese vessel off
the Manila shore. While lacking
air spoilers of their own. the Ameri-
can gunners have the range on
roads and trails used by the jap
anese forces in Bataan.
Large Fires Observed.
They scored direct hits on the
two truck and tank columns and
large fires resulting from the dam
age were observed from 1t. Gen.
Jonathan NJ Wainwright's head
quarters at Fort Mills on Corregi-
dor.
Gen. Wainwright reported late
today communication was still cut
off between Corregidor and some
$4,000 Americana Filipino troops who
were trapped in the area in the gen.
eral fighting that ended Wednesday
night. No reports of casualties in
Bataan have been received for sew
eral days. When such reports are
received here, the War Department
will promptly notify the next of kin
in each case.
Various news dispatches from
Corregidor and other reports re-
ceived here indicate that malnu-
triton and disease accounted for
more deaths among the defenders
than bullets and shells.
The situation in Cebu, which was
being gradually overrun by a force
of $4,000 invaders, was reported as
obscure" in the communique. Ap-
parently no late information on op-
erations had been received by Gen.
Wainwright.

'ChiseIers' Ban
For Washington
Urged in House
O'Connor Also Asks
Communicating Of
Homes, Apartments

Exclusion from Washington of
all persons not directly con-
nected with the Government, es-
sential business or the war eff
fort was advocated in the House
this afternoon by Representative
O'Connor, Democrat, of Mon
tana, who said the city is "over-
flowing with pleasure seekers"
Mr.. O'Connor also proposed that
homes and apartment houses here
be commandeered by the Govern
ment until the war is over and that
the owners be paid reasonable rent
ais.
THE war" he said, cant be won
by talking or making headlines at
cocktail parties and banquets. It
can't be won by red tape, buck pass
ing and shifting responsibility, but
it can be won by fine cooperation,
hard-headed thinking, drastic deci-
sions and an all-out effort.
"Oficial Washington had better
wake UP. 1t had better wake up
before it is too late"
To President Roosevelt's descrip-
tion of the parasites" in Washing
ton, Mr.. O'Connor said he would
add pleasure seekers, grafters and
chiSelers." He urged that these con-
ditions be cleaned up so the city
would be fit place in which to live
and the Government could carry on
its activities in a "business-like
manner"
Mr.. O'Connor likewise deplored
the climate in Washington, describ-
ing it as about the most miserable
in the country"
What's going to happen to this
sweltering mass of humanity here
this summer when the temperature
hits 80 or 100 degrees and the hu-
midity goes up so or 10 per cent?"
he asked. 'Oyercrowded conditions
will result in tragedy If Washington

Earlier Story on Page AID
By the Associated Press.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of
Missouri urged today that Price
Administrator Leon Henderson
put a ceiling Immediately on
such wholesale and retail prices
as he can control to stop ''chisel-
ing" which Senator Clark
charged was going on in antici-
patton of any forthcoming ad-
ministration anti-inflation meas
ure.
Senator Clark said he was con-
vinced that definite effort was be-
ing made by some retailers to beat
the ceiling" they felt might be i'm
posed under a general price control
bill which would freeze prices as of
a certain date.
Relating his own experience in an
unnamed Washington department
store, Senator Clark said he had
found that some articles had in
creased 80 per cent in price in a few
days. He said he found that cotton
quilts, which had been sold for $3.50
a pair, were marked up overnight to
$6.75 pair.
The Senator said there was mo
question" but that wholesalers and
retailers were boosting their prices
hastily.
Senator Clark said he would sup
port any anti-inf1ation measure that
provided for freezing prices under
the principle of the plan advocated
by Bernard NJ Baruch, chairman of
the War Industries Board in the
last World War. Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan, said
he, too, would support such bill.
Senator Clark took occasion to OBJ
serve, however. that he would op-
pose enactment of a sales tax to in
crease Federal revenues, asserting
that such a tax would be inflation-
ary in its effect.

declared, because I'VE failed either

ON JANUARY the Nazis are going to find out
 just how we Americans really feel about this war-whether we're all of us in it dIt tue sOay. For January is the date sci by Uncle Sam when everybody payroll ought to be enrolled in the Payroll Savings Plan-so that at least 10 percent of the gross payroll of every firm goes into War Bonds every payday.
 And when reach that goal by January its going to be painful news for Dr. Goebbels and his cronies!
 At the moment there are many of us who ought to be on Payroll Savings Plans-and aren't.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-12-08
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

If you are sss
 l. Already investing 10 percent of your pay in War Bonds through the Payroll Savings PIan-boost that 10 percent if you can- 2. Working in plant where the Plan is in- stalled, but haven't signed up yct-sign up tomorrow.
 3. Working in plant where the Payroll Savings Plan hasn't been installed, talk to your union head, foreman, or plant manager-and see if it can't be installed right away. The local bank will be glad to help.
 4. Unable to get in on the Payroll Savings Plan, for any reason, go to your local bank, or wherever Bonds are sold. They will be glad to help you start Plan of your own.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-12-08

And though some of us are investing more than 10 percent, lot of us are doing less than we can and should.
 So it's up to you to see that we 'Top That 10 Per- cent by New Yean's." If you're not in on the Payroll Savings Plan, sign up today. If you're setting aside less than 10 percent, get signed up for more-and fast! If you can afford to invest more than 10 percent, do it-and be glad you can.
 For there's nothing that can end this war quicker, nothing that can shatter our enemies as completely as the knowledge that we Ameri-
