Priority in Manpower
For Mining Of Metals
Proposed by Nelson
Choirmon Of WPB Urges
More Aggressive Effort
To Meet Labor Needs
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A new national policy governing
production of war minerals and
metals called today for "even more
aggressive efforts" to provide mining
labor by recruiting and training and
perhaps temporary military fur
loughs."
The program, submitted by War
Production Board Chairman Donald
M. Nelson and bearing President
Roosevelt's approval, was disclosed
by the Senate Small Business Com
mittee, which reported that it fol-
lowed almost exactly" recon-
mendations of its mining subcom-
mittee.
Acknowledging in a letter to the
President that generally recognized
national policies" are needed on a
number of aspects of metals and
minerals production, Mr.. Nelson
recommended:
l. Detailed production planning of
materials, equipment and manpower
through 1914 and through 1916 for
certain metals and minerals.
2. A maximum possible output do
mestically and importation of "as
much as we can from overseas"
3. Fullest use of small and mar
ginal ore deposits within limits
justifying expenditures OF manpower
and critical materials.

U. 5. Experts 10 Help
Mexico Solve Serious
Initiation Problem
Economists Also Seek
To Keep Flow Of VitoI
Materials Moving
BY the Associated Press.

os thC hSSOClalCu ITeSS.
The United States and Mexico
have joined hands to combat the
southern republics serious in
fiation problem and still keep the
strategic war materials rolling
north of the border.
Both governments announced last
night that President Roosevelt and
President Manuel Avila Camacho
have agreed, as the result of their
meetings last week, to form a COM
mittee to map a program for eco
nomic cooperation.
The committee, composed Of two
expert economists from each coun-
Cry, tomorrow will start studying
the disturbances in the balance of
international payments and the re-
lated economic situation of Mexico
and report not later than June Is.
Mexico, like many other Latin
American countries, faces imitation
problems because she is selling more
to the United States than she is
buying. Workers, with their pockets
full of pesos for the first time In
years, are bidding up prices of the
comparatively few articles they can
buy
The agreement with Mexico was
seen by observers here as a pos
sible forerunner of similar arrange
ments with other Latin American
countries. Problems similar to those
In Mexico are reported to be faced
by Brazil, Chile, Colombia and
Venezuela who have stepped up
wartime production
The announcement from the State
Department of the Mexican agree
ment said that the program was
to be carried out without slowing
up production of war materials.
Such measures would have as
their objective the handling of eco
nomic relationship between the two
countries in such way that the
production of strategic materials by
Mexico should not be prejudiced and
that their quantity should not be
lessened," the State Department
said. adding that 1T is recognized
that the cooperation of the United
States will be Indispensable
The seriousness Of the Mexican
imitation problem was voiced recent
ly by Eduardo Villasenor, head of
the government central bank, who
was quoted as saying:
IF the United States does not
diminish the evils due to export re-
strictions it will directly cause fall
in the industrial and agricultural
problems Of a country whose COL
laboration is essential for the war.
We must not risk the loss of our own
culture without even acquiring a
higher level of civilization"
The cost-of living index in Mex
leo has risen from 816 in 1884 to
1865 in 1943.

Spicer Is Restrained
By Trade Commission
In Debtor Card Case
Ex-Heod of Droft Boord
Accused Of Employing
'Unfoir, Deceptive Acts

The Federal Trade Commission
announced today that it has issued
a cease and desist" order against
William E. Spicer, resigned chair
man of Draft Board No. S, and Leo
Greenberg of Los Angeles, requiring
them to stop unfair and deceptive
acts and practices in connection
with the sale of mailing cards which
were used by collection agencies and
creditors to procure information of
the whereabouts and employments
of debtors"
This order was confined to only
one Of three different cases in which
Mr.. Spicer was cited by the FTC.
Inc other two cases, somewhat SIM
liar in nature, still are pending
against him, FrC officials said.
In statement today, the COM
mission said 1t found that Green
berg represented by implication that
his business was in connection with
the United States Government, and
that the information was sought cn
behalf of the Government.
The cards are In the form of
questionnaires bearing the words
Bureau of Research, Reclassifica-
tion Department., Bond Building,
Washington. D. c." and carry
questions which the recipients are
to answer.
The commission found that "Spi-
Ger placed them in the mail in
Washington, D. c." and that by so
mailing the cards participated ac-
lively in the acts and practices
charged"
The respondents were ordered to
cease and desist from using the
words Bureau of Research. CLASH
f1cation Department. alone or in
conjunction with other words. to
refer to the respondents business. or
otherwise represent that the busi-
ness has any connection with the
United States Government"
The respondents are given so davs
to apply for an appeal from the
decision of the FTC. At the end
of that time, if they have not ap-
pealed, the order is in force, and if
they do not comply, the respondents
are liable for a fine for each offense.
Acknowledging he had received
the order, Mr.. Spicer said the
Greenberg firm had gone out of
business"

age lay everywhere.
John Hagenbuch was a nozzle
man OF hose party. While he was
directing the stream on a fire in the
shadow of the No. turret, Chief
Turret Capt. Bowman passed the
word for the group to move along.
He was ready to fire salvo and the
conclusion would be tremendous.
Everybody evacuated tNe area but
Hagenbuch. He had been forgotten
when the word was passed.
"Hagenbuch was thrown to the
deck so hard he almost bounced.
Slowly he staggered to his feet,
temporarily blinded and deafened
by the explosion. 1t had been so
powerful that two planes were blown
out of their catapults and into the
sea. AS Hagenbuch groped his way
back and forth the guns went off
with another mighty roar and again
he was thrown to the deck. One of
Hagenbuch's hosemen rushed out,
lifted him to his feet and dragged
him away from the turret as the

minutes later he was back on his
feet volunteering to climb to the top
of a smokestack to put out a fire
there ="
Big B kept right on rolling. She
opened her main battery on the
enemy line. Her secondaries chat
tered continuously and soon a
tongue of fire poked up at the sky
from each of the enemy ships. Then
the battleship's crew knew she had
won.
Whipped in 50 Minutes.
During the night the United States
ships ran completely around the
island and wiped out an enemy fleet
in less than so minutes. Most of
the men said later that they thought
they had been running the channel
at least half the night.
Below decks in engine control
room was Chief Yeoman Cheek read
ing an old issue of Readers Digest.
The huge panel of gauges in front
OF him was functioning perfectly.
The engine was at top speed, the
boilers were maintaining a mag
nificent head Of steam, and the
blowers were keeping the room quite
cool and comfortable. When a COM
mand came through, Cheek carried
1t out, then returned to his reading.
"The noise of the battle was dis
tant and removed. Around him the
men stood talking quietly or merely
looking at the gauges. In a vague
sort of way they all worried about
the 900 pounds of steam coursing
through the pipes all around them.
Engineers always worry about steam.
Some reports of injuries could be
heard over the phone but not much.
The men down in the engineroom
couldn't tell the difference between
hits and the noise of their own guns.
TT was morning when Cheek
walked onto the, deck and saw the
destruction. Then he realized, for
the first time, how many shells had
ripped into the ship.
He couldn't sleep for three days"

80 Pct. Of Wyoming
|nternees Held Eaqer
To Return 10 Japan .
Senator Robertson's Aide
Says State Wants None
Left There After War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An aide to Senator Robertson,
Republican, of Wyoming says the
Senator had been advised that so
per cent of group of Japanese in
terviewed at the Hart Mountain Re-
location Center as Cody, Wyo, favor
returning to Japan.
T. C. Thompson, the Senator's
secretary, asserted yesterday that he
could say for Senator Robertson in
the Senator's absence that we do
not want any of these Japanese in
ternees left in Wyoming after the
war" The Senator has gone to
New York.
Pass BY Shoshone Dam.
Il am advised" Mr.. Thompson
said, that these Japanese internees
are allowed quite full freedom in
that they may go to adjacent
towns. I am advised that a sawmill
has been obtained to give them some
employment, but that in order to
reach it, it is necessary for them to
go on the road by the Shoshone
Dam. Anything could happen"
Mr.. Thompson said he understood
further that. the internees might OBJ
tain ANY amount of packaged
liquor they desire and that a con-
siderable number have c ration
cards for their automobiles"
The Secretary added that when
the japanese were allowed to occupy
the camp, it was with the distinct
understanding" with former Gov.
Nels H. Smith that they would not
and could not become citizens of
Wyoming, but that they would be
returned eventually to their place of
origin"
O'MahOney Tells of Study.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, Of
Wyoming said, meanwhile, that the
Senate Military Affairs Committee is
conducting thorough study" of
the situation at the Hart Mountain
camp and elsewhere.
There can be no question:" he
said, that the Japanese reloca ton
camps should not be conducted as
social service projects. Economy and
efficiency are as necessary there as
elsewhere, but the greatest care
must be observed to prevent any dis
loyal japanese from engaging in
subversive operations Of any kind"

BottIesMp's First Surface Fight
At Sovo Described by Crewmen
Here Am Dead Lookout's First Thought
On Regoining Consciousness
On KegoInIng CONSCIOUSNESS
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-The big
Bastard" a United States battle
ship got her nickname in the
South Pacific while protecting
American carriers from aerial at
tack.
She did the job so we'll that a
carrier admiral radioed to his
planes: Stay away from that Big
Bastard. When she gets through
shooting down Japs. she'll use you
for target practice" And so the
ship has been known ever since, and
her men wouldn't swap the nick
name for general citation.
This is the story of the ships
first surface action, pieced together
from accounts of the ships crew,
by Robert L. Schwartz, yoeman
second class and Navy correspon-
dent for Yank, the Army weekly.
The action-part of what's known
in naval annals as the fifth battle
of the Solomons-began at dusk
on November IA. 1912. A task
force consisting of the Big Bastard
and several other battleships and
destroyers had cut away from its
carrier for a little show of its
own. And at Savo Island. just
north of Gaudalcanal, it found a
nest of hiding Jab ships. >.
Believed Himself Dead.
"Hodgen Othello Patrick, yeoman
first class, talker on the highest
lookout post, remembers seeing the
Jap ships come up. He saw the
first salvo leave the flagship up
ahead His next recollection is of
being thrown against a. bulkhead
and finding somebody's arm, with
out body, across his face.
Tim dead he thought. Here I
am dead. This is what it's like to
be dead But the earthly touch of
shrapnel in his knee and hip con-
vinced him he was still alive. The
two officers lay dead. Seven enlist
ed men were still. Four wounded
looked at Patrick, not knowing
what to do next.
Patrick ordered the two least
wounded to go below and then put
tourniquets on the other two. using
their own belts. He applied the
same treatment to his own knee.
. Then remembered to loosen all
three every IS minutes throughout
the night. He hunted a long time
for morphine and divided it with
the others. AS he was about to take
his share of the sedative he noticed
that several of the men he had
thought dead were stirring. He
didn't feel heroic :. He didn't even
think. :. Patrick was the only en-
listed man of the crew who was
recommended for Navy Cross"
Enemy Vessel "Dissolved."
When general quarters sounded
at $50, no one aboard the battle
ship knew the size or strength of
the enemy. But at midnight the
bridge sighted three enemy ships in
the channel ahead and reported the
formation of the admirals flagship
nearby Fifteen minutes later the
admirals ship fired nine-gun
salvo that set afire the leading Jap
battleship. -.
Rufus Mathewson, yeoman Sec
ond class, took his pose as a talker
in the coming tower. Shortly
after midnight the loudspeaker car
ried cold steady voice from plot
room. Target 10000 yards, bearing
240 degrees. e. Target l9,8O0 yards,

RooseveIf-StaIin Talk
Hinted in Moscow
Call 10 Litvinoff
Embassy Aide Denies
Soviet-PoIish Relations
Is Reason for Summons

By the Associated Press.
Keen interest was aroused In
official and diplomatic quarters
here today by the impending
visit OF Soviet Ambassador Max
i'm Litvinoff to Moscow for con-
sultation with his government.
Although there was no confirma-
ton Of reports that he might be
arranging meeting between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Premier Stain,
the idea Of such a conference has
not been abandoned in Washington,
1t was understood, and recent de-
velopments, including the Russo
Polish crisis, have emphasized the
desirability of meeting of the two
leaders.
A Soviet Embassy spokesman an
nounced last night that Mr.. Litvinoff
had been called to Moscow and
would leave within the next few
days. 1t was indicated that the
rupture of Soviet-Polish relations
was not the reason for the summons
1t was pointed out that, aside from
the critical questions raised by the
Polish Russian break, other serious
problems of Anglo-Soviet-A American
collaboration might we'll figure in
the report he will make to his gov
eminent.
1t will be the Ambassado first
trip home since his arrival here i'm
mediately after Japan's attack on
the United States and the subse-
quent declarat ton of war against
the Axis.
In the intervening Is months
much has occurred in the field of
Anglo Soviet American relations,
including Foreign Commissar Molo-
tovs visit to Washington and the
subsequent second front controversy
of 1912, the conclusion of 20-year
Anglo military alliance, and
the Washington conferences of Brit
1sh Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden.
The Ambassadors conferences in
Moscow, therefore, may have an i'm
portant bearing on various ques-
tlons, among them the possibility of
meeting between Mr. Roosevelt
and Premier Stain for frank ex-
change of views.
1t was hoped at the time of the
Casablanca conference to bring
Prime Minister Churchill, the Presi-
dent and Premier Stain together for
three-power parley but the latter
at that time declined.
