! WELL" said Swede, I'VE wanted
it. Let's get it."
"Okay," said Hammond. If you
need monkey wrench, call on me. "
Williams, who was now the expert
land-fighter Of the squadron, said
that all they had to do was find out
where the Japs were and shoot
them. And how was that to be done?
Well, that was simple, too. One man
would stick himself out and let
himself be shot at. The others would
watch for where the shots were COM
ing from.
1t Didn't Work.
The fellows thought that over a
while. Then Swede stuck himself
out cautiously from behind the tree.
He heard shot and jumped simul-
taneouSly. The shot hit a telephone
wire and a spark leaped a foot into
the air.
What do we do now?" asked
Hammond.
Nobody had seen where the shot
had come from. They all had been
closing their eyes, praying for
SWede.
The business Of drawing fire went
on for about half an hour. All four
of the men prowled around eau
tiously, peering until there were
green f1ickers in their eyes. The
Japs had automatic rifles with long
brass clips of bullets, kind of
very light machine gun. Sometimes
they'd let whole clip go and some
times be content with one bullet,
but they never fired when anybody
was where he could see them. They
were canny, cautious, hardened vet
Grams Of jungle fighting and this
fact began sinking into Swede, as
he realized how little he himself
knew of the art.
WELL" he said at last, "those guys
are using their brains. Let's use
ours. Let's get organized around
here"
They were all willing.
Lets look for trees that look
phoney, that are built up too thick
and let's just figure that's camou-
fage hiding gangster in it."
(Gangster was the term the Navy
used for Jap planes.)
Then Swede went to work with
his field glasses. He studied the
tree-tops carefully and finally found
three that didn't look right to him.
They all went to work on those,
firing Systematically to cover every
square inch of surface. Not a sound
came out of those tree-tops, not a
groan or scream or murmur. But,
what was more important, not a
rifle shot came out either and after
a while the four men walked erect
to their jeep and drove back home.
Relief to Get in Air.
1t was relief for Torpedo to
get back into the air. The first
plane to come off the Peterkin-

engine from another and patches
of tail from a third. Hammond and

fly. One Of the wings seemed out
of line to them.
But Swede tried it anyway. The
battle situation was still such that

SPRAYING FRUIT TREES
BY WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN,
The Stars Garden Editor.

Normally one of the objectives OF
spraying program is to keep the
fruit covered with a protective coat
ing of spray material. This is to

arsenate on apples; lead arsenate
and lime on peaches and plulns.
Leaf diseases, including peach leaf
curl, should be controlled before the
trees vitality is reduced. Spray
with bordeaux or with sulphur.
The above are recommended only
for trees without fruit, and need be
applied only as insects or diseases
appear. If, by chance, your trees
have a crop, then it is recommended
that regular spray program be
carefully followed so that the fruit
may be protected from insects and
diseases.
Grapes, it is hoped, will produce
crop this year as usual. They will
need to be protected from the "black
rot" and from insects. An early
spraying with bordeaux will serve
to check the early spores. Later
sprayings may be applied as needed.
For the protection of grapes from
insects, including wasps and bees,
bagging the punches is recon-
mended. The bags are put on while
the berries are still very small.
A small paper bag is commonly
used and is fastened to the stem
with toothpick or pin. Punch two
or three small holes in the bottom
of the bag to allow moisture to es-
cape. Without bagging, a large por-
ton of the berries in each bunch,
except possibly the very early va
rieties, will be ruined by the bees
and wasps.
Clip and save for your Dictory

Seizure Continues
Of Property, Patents

owl Reveals $4,000
Axis Processes Have
Been Taken Over
By the Associated Press.


Property and patents owned Sc
cretly by the enemy still are being
discovered and conflscated almost
daily, the Office OF War Information
said yesterday in disclosing nearly
$4,000 patents already have been
seized.
The agency reported at the same
time that German penetration Of
strategic United States industries
started more than 20 years ago, or
shortly after the 1920 treaty of Ver-
sailles, which long preceded the
Nazi regime.
The Owl gave this picture Of the
Governments efforts to seize and
make use of Axis property or pat
ents in America:
More than $7,0oO,OOo,O0 of assets
are frozen or under alien property
custodian control; every company
in which Nazi influence was known
to exist has now been American
ized";; enemy interest in 258 business
enterprises has been taken over by
the custodian; % alien-owned ships
have been seized and now are carry
ing war supplies abroad.
Used in War Production.
Patent licenses obtained from the
custodian have enabled number of
small business firms to convert to
war production. Some Of the prod
ucts and processes covered in these
conversions are:s
Collapsible boats for the Navy,
f1re-fighting materials, machine
crank shafts, materials used in
dressing ores, manufacture of alu-
nina for airplanes, heat-treating
facilities for metal working.
Extensive research on many OF the
patents has progressed to the point
where wide development of substi-
tutes for more critical materials will
be possible. For instance:
Production of wool from casein,
nitroglycerin from petroleum by
products, shaving creams and soaps
from scrap leather; production, also
from scrap leather, of an admixture
for cement to increase workabiGty

Going to Naval Forces
And a to Marines

Increased induction of colored
men for the naval forces, in line
with a recent War Manpower Com
mission announcement, has begun
in the District, induction lists indi-
Gated today.
VINO Chief McNutt recently con-
firned reports that the Navy would
start inducing colored men in pro-
portion to population, as the Army
has been doing Mr. McNutt said
he thought increased induction of
colored men would begin in May.
Despite the difference in size of
the land and naval forces, induc-
tion of colored men since May /
has been running approximately
half the number taken each day by
the Army here. On induction days
for white men, it had been running
about a fourth.
Scheduled to report for active
duty Monday are l white and
126 colored men who were inducted
on May 8. Of the group, 81 will go
to the Army, 36 to the Navy and
4 to the Marine Corps. The only
white selectee in the group re-
porting Monday is Lynwood G..
Collins, who goes to the Army. The

However, reports indicate that most

Because of the loss of the fruit
there is not the need for spraying

With the loss of the crop, a spray

Attack land Vengeance! The Story Of Torpedo

ing. SWede used up the whole run
way for>his take-of and then, when
he finally wabbled into the air, he
found that zone wing dragged lit
tie. But at least he was flying.
When he got back Hammond
shook his head with mock regret.
II bet you wouldn't make it" he
said, "and now I'm out money"
The Japs hammered Henderson
Field relentlessly from the air by
day and by night and, day and night,
they hammered at it from the
ground. Swede went after the guns
again the next day. The problem
was difficult because of the coral
caves into which the guns could be
withdrawn and because there was
no chance for sneak attack. The
Japs could see him take off.
But Swede swung wide and mos
eyed that way until he got into a
cloud. Then he ducked behind the
mountains and came around in
back Of the Japs. He caught them.
He saw the muzzle Of howitzer
and dove at it and dropped bomb.
The bomb missed, but Wendt and
Sparks had been working their ma
chine guns and nobody tried to
move the gun after that.
Swede made seven passes at that
gun, each time dropping one bomb.
His plane was hard to fly. Being
wing-heavy, he had to fight it all
the time to keep it level. But fin
ally, he was satisfied that he had
got the gun and went back to the
field.
Maj. Mahoney Lost.
Swede made another attack on
a gun position and, in the evening,
Hansen took over the plane. It was
a clear, beautifully moonlit night
and it was believed the guns would
show up In it. Or, if they didn't,
their muzzle flashes would.
His first trip out, Hansen hit some
Jap ammunition and lit a fire that
everybody on Henderson Field
watched with interest. Then Maj.
Mahoney, who had come down the
line for a visit, said it took a land
fighter to spot gun positions and
offered to 60 along and help.
Francis and MacNamara made
room for him and Hansen took off
again. They went along pretty high
in plain sight of the field. Then
suddenly they could be seen diving
for an attack, disappearing into the
darkness behind hill.
Everybody waited for the plane to
reappear again. There were sharp
sounds of firing and the rumbling
crump of falling bombs. Then ST.
lence. And still the plane did not
come back up over the hill.
Then there could be seen, flicker
OF fire, like a flaming onion, whisk-
ing briefly along the trees and dis
appearing into the sea. The Japs
had set Hansen's plane on fire and
Hansen, too low for anybody to bail
out, had run for water and crashed
his plane into the water before it
had time to explode.
Hansen, Francis and MacNamara
got out Of the drowning plane prac-
tically unhurt, but Maj. Mahoney
went all the way down to the bot
tom with it.

Guiana Official Urges Care
In Dealing With Martinique

PARAMARIBO, Dutch Guiana,
May 8-Interviewed for the first
time since his appointment as Gov
ernor of French Guiana by Gen.
Henri Giraud, Jean Rapenne said
yesterday he was satisfied with the
cooperation of both United States
and Dutch officials, but that it was
necessary to proceed cautiously to-
ward a solution of the Martinique
and Guadeloupe questions in order
to save their ships for the Allies.
He said that although he is GER
tain the population of Martinique
and Guadeloupe, both whites and
blacks, are eager to join the Allies,
he believes that Admiral Georges
Robert, French high commissioner
in the Caribbean, and Gov. Nicol of
Martinique had gone too far to
change course now" and hence they
continue to keep the colony firmly
under control within Vichy policies.
1t would be a mistake to "act
bruskly," he declared during the
interview shortly before his depar-
ture for Cayenne, French Guiana.
