Commissioner Young said the fact
that a retired policeman or fireman
is employed does not by itself reduce
the amount Of the pension he should
receive. He explained the employ
ment was merely evidence in some
cases that the mans physical condi-
ton had improved sufficiently to
justify reduction in the amount

Allied Naval Power
Blocks Aid 70 Jap
Bases, vinson Says

| BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Vinson OF the House
Naval Affairs Committee declared
yesterday that Allied sea might is
preventing the japanese from sup
plying their 'beleaguered garri-
sons" with food, ammunition and
reinforcements "in SUFFICIENT guam
tity to permit long resistance"
In an outline of the situation in
the Pacific, based on information
supplied by the Navy Department,
he noted that 180 Japanese warships
have been announced as sunk to
date and heavy losses" inflicted
on the enemy's supply and troop
ships.
The recent land and air sue
cesses on New Guinea, the capture
of the Salamaua naval and air
base and the adjoining base Of Lac,
and the tremendous air victory at
Wewak demonstrate that the
Southwest Pacific campaign has
been one Of marked coordination
between Allied land. sea and air
forces" he said.
Recounts Jap Losses.
"The task of Allied sea power has
been to meet and defeat the Japa-
mes Navy whenever the opportun-
ity presented itself. The parallel
objective OF causing the Japanese
Navy to give one-way passage to
the japanese Army has also been
carried out
Just a day after Secretary of the
Navy Knox observed in London that
our Navy hasn't sighted q Japanese
aircraft carrier in four months be-
cause apparently they don't like
to come out where it is wet" Mr..
Vinson Tailed the foes losses. >.
I'm sea areas exclusive of the
Southwest Pacific" he said, "125
japanese warships have been sent
to the bottom. These include 2 bat
tleships, 6 aircraft carriers, "a
cruisers, 81 destroyers and 6 sub
marines.
Nine battleships, Z carriers, A
cruisers, 81 destroyers and 6 sub
marines were so badly damaged as
to be forced out Of action. Another
28 japanese warships, including
one carrier, four cruisers, IS de-
stroyers and / submarine are listed

In the Southwest Pacific area, Mr..

Roosevelt Erred on Oil
Data, Producer Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TULSA. Okla, Sept. 18.-Russell
B. Brown, general counsel for the
Independent Petroleum Association,
said tonight President Roosevelt was
mistaken when he told Congress yes
terday that United States produc-
tion had increased 66 per cent since
the outbreak of the war in Europe.
In statement telephoned from
Washington and released here by C.
E. Buchner, IPA executive manager,
Mr.. Brown declared that the latest
official figures showed an increase
of not more than II per cent.
"It is unfortunate that the Pres
ident made the assertion that, since
the outbreak of the war in Europe
we have increased our output OF
petroleum by 66 per cent" Mr..
Brown said.
Mr.. Brown said the daily United
States production of crude oil in
September, 1899, was figured by the
Bureau of Mines at 3,608 900 bar
rels. Latest official figures by the
same agency-for June, 1943-
showed a daily average OF 3,977, ,0o0
barrels.
