NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Joseph
Curran. president of the CIO Ma
tional Maritime Union, said today
that there were no union rules
which prevented seamen from un-
loading ship on Sunday.
His statement came after the pub
lication of copyrighted story in
the Akron ohio Beacon Journal
which stated that the Navy Depart
ment was investigating report that
Marines had to unload a merchant
ship in Guadalcanal when the crew
refused to unload it on the ground
that union rules prohibited work on
Sunday.
Seamen have always worked on
Sunday, Mr.. Curran said, and moth
ing in any of the unions ITO agree
mentS with shipping companies pro-
hibits Sunday work. Furthermore
he stated, ships articles definitely
provide for work at the discretion
of the master"
If there was any semblance of
truth in this story, we would have
heard about it many months ago
from marine officials, from the
Maritime Commission and from
other Government sources" he said
at a press conference.
Mr.. Curran said that in MANY for
eign ports natives were unable to
unload and handle cargoes expedi-
tiouSly. In each case, the NMU
which brought the ship safely to
port, did all in its power to see that
precious cargo was unloaded speed
lly and the ship started on its re-
turn voyage without loss of time.
He said the War Labor Board
praised the NMU for its excellent
record" lack of strikes and contri-
buttons to improvement of seamen's
working conditions.
Il can assure you we'll keep the
ships sailing until we win the war"
Mr.. Curran asserted.

Navy has reported an additional
1000 killed
Col. Fuller, who was wounded
seven times in one engagement,
but refused to leave the field of
battle, declared that the Japanese
on Guadalcanal have had enough
of it, and expressed the opinion
that when the American forces
there, now almost entirely Army
troops, close in on the japanese they
probably will surrender.
He said that he based this view on
his belief that the Japs had not
heretofore in the Pacific fighting
been placed in a position similar to
that of the American troops on Ba-
taan in the Philippines, who were
compelled to surrender because they
ran out of food and supplies.
Col. Puller declared that the last
reinforcements the japanese le-
ceiVed, to his knowledge, were one
to two battalions totaling about l 500
men who landed east of the AmeIi-
can air field early in October.
