a Japanese invasion fleet which had effected new landings at Flnsch- hafen, 35 miles northeast of Ham ischhafen on the Dampier Strait, around the corner of the gulf.
 See Flying Boat Afire
 In an attack on Gasmata, on the coast of New Britain Island across the Strait from Finschhafen, the Australian planes set fire to the giant four motored enemy flying boat.
 The Australian planes, including the heaviest bombers, machine gunned as well as bombed and lit was believed that Japanese troop concentrations ashore were attacked
 Four of the Japanese transports, those which were left in flames, were attacked off Finschhafen after they had landed troops.
 By their Finschhafen landing, the Japanese had frightened their griB on the Dampier Strait, between New Guinea and New Britain Island where they had made their first landings in the Australian defense zone.
 An air ministry communique dis closed that Japanese planes had made reconnaissance flights yester- day over Darwin the Australian north coast base but said the planes had been driven off.
 AS the government prpared ur- gently to safeguard the country against invasion attempts, War Minister Francis M. Forde said in a public statement:
 Know nothing, if there is an in- vasion, and if possible give the en- emy misleading information. Place every obstacle in his way"
 The government forbad the dis play of tourist maps outside hotels and other places and warned the public against prmitting maps to fall into enemy hands.

Fuel Shortages Likely,
Consumers Are Warned

By the Associated Press.
The Solid Fuels Advisory War
Council today warned all coal con-
sumers and dealers ito lose no
further time in building up reserve
storage piles of coal for protection
against possible fuel shortages.
Louis J. Brann, chairman. said
the advisory group. after a survey
of problems confronting fuel pro-
duction and transportation, had
concluded that immediate storage
of reserve coal supplies was ad-
visable.
He pointed out that New England
supplies already had frightened con-
siderably because submarine warfare
hampered movements of coal COL
liers along the Atlantic seaboard.
However. he emphasized that the
warning to store coal applied gen.
orally throughout the country
Although there is no general coal
shortage yet, Mr. Brann said 'it is
extremely likely" that consumers
who do not protect themselves while
they still can get coal for storage,
may expect later to encounter diff
culties in maintaining their fuel sup
ply.
He stressed that the threat ap-
piled to "the little men and a house
holders basement" as well as to the
storage yards of dealers and large
industrial consumers.

Violence broke out last night as
c. I. o. and A. F. L. men reinforced
Railroad Brotherhood pickets.
A Federal court restraining order
limits the brotherhood to seven
pickets at each of three entrances

tatives contended they weren't

The strike on the 239-mile road

% in a dispute over wages and
working conditions.
Union officials said q new con-
tract proposed by the company did
not recognize seniority as the sole
basis in the assignment of employees
and reduced wages by altering the
basis of wage calculation.
The railroad contended the con-
tract worked to boost wages an aver
age of 26.7 per cent. On a straight
time per minimum eight-hour day
basis, it offered the following rates
of pay: Engineers. 1886: conductors,
1896; flremen, s7.4o; brakemen, 81.

Chairman Connally Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee ad-
monished the Vichy government of
France this afternoon that it would
commit "a tragic blunder" If it
turned any of its ships over to the
Axis powers
Commenting on reports that sucn
a transfer might be made Of un-
finished vessels In French yt, rs,
Senator Connally said:
France ought to want to live
after the war is over She ought to
want to be France thai would
vindicate her great and glorious
liveried lackey, committed. to Serf-
dom and servitude.
That applies as we'll to the
French naval vessels. France can
not. in the light of history, commit
such a treachery. to her late allies
and defenders. There is something
worse than defeat"

also were given fish occasionally
but never any meat.
There was no foreign food avail
able, she declared, since the jap
anese gathered up all the small
stocks in the shops and warehouses
and shipped them off to Japan.
All Metal Seized.
Miss Harrop, who was attached
to the British secretariat of for
eign affairs in Hong Kong, gave
this picture of the Japanese occupa-
tion:
The invaders seized all the metal
they could find, including rail-
ings and even statues. The famous
bronze lions at the entrance to the
Hong Kong and Shanghai bank
building, where the United States
consulate general had It's offices,
were shipped to Japan. Automo-
biles also were sent to Japan.
The colony, now under the con-
troll of the gendarmerie, has been
looted thoroughly. The high cost
of food has made living diff1cult,
and as a result many Chinese have
been forced to leave.
There is no curfew, but because
there also is little law enforcement
people keep off the streets as much
as possible.
Industries Shut Down.
The British defense forces sank
most Of the ferry boats, so there is
no regular communication between
Hong Kong Island and the mainland.
All industry has shut down and
unemployment is widespread.
When the japanese occupied Hong
Kong they disclaimed any knowledge
Of the Geneva Convention covering
the treatment of prisoners of war
Except for two small military hos
pitfalls, the japanese took over all the
chief hospitals and equipment and
gave the sick and wounded "a hours
notice or less to get out.

colony, is interned at the Peninsula
Hotel in Kowloon, where he went

impeded the defense effort they
would be destroyed by public
wrath"
On the House side, Representative
Gibson, Democrat. of Georgia said
he had prepared legislation at the
request of the Railroad Yardmasters
of America. Inc. to amend the
National Labor Relations Act so as
to require unions to submit annual
financial statements to their men,
hers. The legislation also would
make interunion strikes illegal, re-
quire a 60-day cooling off" period
before a strike could become effec-
tive, permit voluntary joining or
forming of organizations and pro-
hibit use of union funds for political
purposes
Mr.. Gibson said his measure was
designed especially to provide a
stop valve" and prevent labor from
possibly in the future taking over
this country as result of the activi-
ties of unscrupulous leadership" or
participation in politics as one huge
organization. He said he did not
refer to present leaders.
Registration Proposal.
The measure on union registra-
ton, drafted by Chairman Vinson
of the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee, would require the labor and
hue; fn rnnicfo- or,Vlo11tJ
with the Secretary of Commerce
and to file list of their officers and
details of their liabilities and assets.
Paul Scharrenberg. national legis-
lative representative for the A. F. L.,
fatty said that the proposed legisla
ton originated with a committee
which had showed clearly its anti
labor policies"
Quoting from Mr.. Green's state
ment. he said the bill would destroy
the voluntary character of labor
unions and would not remove any
instance of labor racketeering that
may exist
I'VE are engaged in a death strug-
gle with the powers of world dark
ness" said Mr.. Murray, in state
ment read by James Carey, national
secretary of the c. I. o.
we cannot afford" he continued,
'to take time out from our drive to
victory in order to engage in re-
vival of the petty sniping and labor
batting which bill of this type rep
resents."
Follows Contract Probe.
Chairman Vinson said he drafted
his measure as an aftermath to an
investigation of naval contracts.
The Naval Affairs Committee ma
jority, in making its report. said the
inquiry had disclosed vast con-
centration of wealth" in the hands
of labor organizations.
Senator Lee, Democrat, of Okla
homa, told the Senate that although
there had been no authorized strikes
in defense industries since labor
gave it's "no-strike" pledge last De-
cember, he believed anti-strike leg
islation still was necessary.
"Organized labor has kept its
pledge of uninterrupted work" he
said. There has not been single
authorized strike in war industry
since that pledge was made
But, he added, there had been
some "interferences" as result of
small percentage of labor and man
agement groups" and because of
some exceptions to this fine pledge
of loyalty" he said anti-strike legis-
lation should be passed at once.
