is not very subtle. There are times
when you wonder where they get
their reputation for trickery.
The point Is illustrated by the fate
of two-possibly three-Jap four
engined flying boats shot down
August 4 while we were in the final
stages of our organization for the
big August attack on Kiska.
Two Army Air Forces P-38s-
twin-engined. boom tail, Lockheed
interceptors that are winning tre-
mendous regulations for climb, speed
and maneuverability - knocked the
big boats down. 1t happened as the
bombers few Alaskaward along the
Aleutian chain on a mission which,
If it had succeeded, would have in
terfered seriously with our plans for
the attack.
The Japs had undertaken the.
same mission four or Ave times pre-
viously, failing Of success in each
case. Their big mistake was that
they new to their objective always
by the same route, at the same speed
and usually at the same elevation.
Evidently they wanted to make sure
OF their landmarks-probably VOL
cano peaks looming through fog
and mist.
A Lively Affair.
On August the two P-38s were
waiting for them, at $4,000 feet
There was a lively party. Pilots
w. K. Ambrose and s. A. Long got
two good whacks at the targets as
the panic-stricken Japs dove the
boats for a protective cloudbank at
$500 feet. When last seen one of
the Japs was in flames and the other
appeared out of control. The one
in flames was claimed as certain
casualty and the other as pos
sible"
Minutes later, little to the west
ward, the American lieutenants en-
countered another four -engined en-
emy ship above the overcast. They
turned on the lead and pumped in
enough to drive the bomber down to
sure death. There is just possibil-

Though the Capital Transit Co.

chine 500 tons of steel within the
next few months, the District quota
by January /, as established by the
War Production Board, Is 1900
tons-or 100000 pounds-it was
revealed by Horace Walker, execu-
tive secretary OF the District Sal
wage Committee.
OF this $4,000, ,000- pound total,
100000 pounds must come from
private families, Mr.. Walker pointed
out, basing the estimate on an
average of IS pounds of scrap metal
for 100000 District families. Ap-
proximately one-fourth of the total
has been collected in the first two
months of the six-month quota
period, Mr. Walker said, adding that
omcial figures will be available to-
morrow.
Mr.. Walker stressed as important
the fact that of the grand total,
almost 50 per cent $4,000, 600
pounds) must come from private
families.
The average person has a real
job to do" he said, and a look at
the figures will prove 1t. A lot OF
little items - broken down alarm
clocks, old light fixtures, buckets,
irons and kitchen equipment
mount up to big totals"
Mr.. Walker said he will make a
special plea to the public to CO.
operate, wherever possible, in help
| ing to get salvage items to local
depots which are being set up, the
locations of which will be an
nounced shortly.
In the meantime, residents are
asked to scour their homes fol-
scrap metal, and put it aside until
the salvage organization is ready te
swing into action.
The District has became scraI
metal-conscious to an ASTOUNDING
degree within the last few days.

u. S..BuiIt Bombers
Deadly Against Subs
In Eastern Atlantic
RAF Liberotor Squadron
Has Highest Record With
Hudsons Running Second
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. g. United
States-built Liberators (Consoli-
dated bombers) anu Hudsons
uockheed) are playing a big
part in turning the eastern At
lantic into sea of peril for
Adolf Hitler's U-boats, the Air
Ministry said today.
In recent month, it reported,
the Raj Coastal Command made 80
attacks on undersea raiders, with
one Liberator squadron setting the
highest record of any in the COM
mand and Hudson squadron run
ming a close second.
For security reasons, the Air Min
istry news service said, it Is i'm
possible to give figures or other
details of these attacks, but it
stated the month mentioned was
only an example OF recent activ-
ity, and now both sightings and
attacks have been increased.
The majority of U-boat sightings
now occur in the Bay of Biscay,
where the German submarines run
the British aerial gantlet to and
from Lairs on the French coast and
hunting grounds in the Atlantic.
U-Boat Caught by Surprise.
The news service said that in the
month cited one Liberator named
''F for Freddie" made three at
tacks on submarines within few
days of one another while another
attacked two submersibles within
two hours.
"F for Freddie" is said, caught
one U-boat by surprise with five
men in the coming tower and re-
leased four bombs before the sub
marine had time to crash dive.
They straddled the U-boat," one
crew member Of the airplane re-
ported. After big explosion,
large piece OF metal was flung into
the air about SO feet, and the whole
sub seemed hfted out Of the water"
The submarine then tried to SUBJ
merge but rose suddenly to the sur
face and lay there, leaking oil. IF
for Freddie" attacked again, and,
the crew reported, the U-boat sank
slowly
Quarry Raked with ShelIfire.
The deadly submarine hunters
often have raked their quarry with
cannon and machine gun IRE and
seen their crews fall into the water.
The air offensive has become 80
fierce, the Air Ministry said, that
the Germans have been forced to
seek protection for their U-boats In
the Bay of Biscay with an umbrella
of seaplanes, and many air battles
have developed.
AS to the actual destruction Of
submarines, 1t declared:
Evidence of kill Is infrequent.
More often there is little on
which to confirm the probable de-
struction of submarine-oil patch
es Of varying sizes. an occasional
piece Of wreckage and Photographic
evidence of the closeness OF bomb

non-Ferrous Metal
And Lumber Workers
Frozen on Jobs
MeNutt Bons Shifts
In II Stotes to Holt
Losses in Monpower

War Manpower Commission Of
dcials indicated today that Govern
ment procurement agencies would
be called on to enforce Commits
sion Chairman Paul v. McNutt's
employment stabilisation plan to
halt labor pirating from copper.
other nonferrous metals and the
lumber industries.
This followed the setting up of
the first critical labor area In the
country, in which, except under GER
tain conditions, workers in nom
ferrous metal and lumber industries
may not switch to other jobs with
out first obtaining certificate OF
separation from their old Jobs from
the United States Employment
Service.
Agencies Ordered to Comply.
Without legislation to enforce the
plan, Chairman McNutt directed all
departments and agencies OF the
Federal Government to take AL
steps which may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate these pro-
visions and to insure their observ-
Ance.'
A commission official explained
that the procurement agencies,
principally the War and Navy De-
partments and Maritime Commits
sion, could disapprove payrolls Of
firms using workers deemed by the
Manpower Commission to be i'm
properly employed and thereby keep
the workers at jobs that the COM
mission considered most essential.
Just how far the procurement
agencies would have to 60 to COM
ply with Mr.. McNutt's orders was
not made clear and commission
spokesman admitted the effective
ness Of the virtual freeze" of man
power in the affected industries was
still largely dependent on patriotic
response"
Housing Seen ~ Factor.
It also was indicated that If this
method Of keeping men on the job
failed it would supply an effective
talking point for passage Of pro-
posed war service legislation, with
out which, 1t was understood, Man.
power Commission members believe
total manpower mobilization could
not be accomplished.
One manpower spokesman pointed
out that Mr.. McNutt's plan couldn't
halt workers from quitting, but that
1t might work when they failed to
get new jobs without an employment
service certificate.
It also was thought that housing
ofncials might be called on to pro-
vide more attractive living quarters
for workers to keep them on their
jobs or tire rationing rules might be
revised to make their transportation
to work easier.
Manpower officials also hoped thai
war contractors could be brought tc
understand that by hiring worker.
out of the copper and lumber indus
tries and thereby cutting down that
production they would ultimately be
working against themselves, since
their own factories couldn't operate
without the raw materials.
Must Get Permit to Change.
As the plan works, no employ
er may release q worker TO
other jobs without first obtain
ing q certificate of separation

CAIRO, Sept. 8.-Axis anti
tank batteries were deployed to-
day in an apparent attempt to
hold passage through the Brit
ish minefield in the western
desert while Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel halted and regrouped
his battered main forces near the
starting point of his Inflated
second bid for the Nile Valley.
British headquarters said there
were no developments worthy of
note in the southern sector yester-
day while, although enemy air ac-
tivity was on reduced scale. at
least six enemy aircraft we're de-
stroyed for a loss of only one of
ours"

Axis detachments were reported
established in the Ell Himeimat
area, permitting the German and
italian desert forces to use the TOO
foot high peak as an observation

Nazi rear guards had put more
sting in the Axis tail"
But the bulk of the tank and in
fantry forces with which Marshal
Rommel launched his drive had
back-tracked to an area within a
few miles Of their jumping -off point.
Allied planes, British light tanks.
arrnored cars and mobile guns
maintained their pressure.
Whether the British hoped to gain
counteroffensive was question.
Defensive power was illustrated
by the wreckage of Axis tanks and
trucks strewn across the battle
field. Marshal Rommell was re-
ported to have told his troops just
eight days ago that We'll be In
Cairo next week"
Ell Alamein Lines Hold.
British lines remained intact all

Religious Publicity Hounds
One high Official Of a national
inter denominational organization
once remarked of an associate,
Whenever Mac sees a CLINT Of glory
anywhere on the horizon, he sprints
for it." That opinion was modern
version of the Masters indictment
Of the Pharisees. In newspaper ON
ces the phrase publicity hound" is
applied to preachers who seek prom
inence in print. Jesus phrased the
same sentiments in the words, "All
their works they do to be seen Of
men,"
Our modern craze for publicity
is sometimes described as q new
social phenomenon. Business con-
Germs, actors, society danes. politi-
clans and multifarous organizations
even the Government itself-em-
ploy press agents; SO that the pro-
motion of publicity has become q
crowded profession. Social emf
nence is measured by the number
of newspaper notices and pictures.
Shamelessly, all sorts of persons
seek to make" the headlines.
