Salt Production Reaches
An All-Time High Record

NEW YORK.-Salt as q sinew Of
war will bring 1943 production Of
14,048, 900 tons, an all-time high, &C.
cording to John L. Ryon. vice presi-
dent Of the International Salt Co.,
Inc. that would top last years rec
ord production by more than $50. 900
tons.
THAT the increased tonnage Of
salt has gone to war is apparent
from the estimated 1943 production
figures which will reach 200 pounds
per capita, whereas the individual
American uses approximately only
six pounds q year for seasoning and
preparation Of food" said Mr.. Ryon.
I'VE estimate that for every bill
lion dollars expended in the war ef-
fort it takes $4,000 to salt It
down.
He said that despite the demands
upon salt resources there would be
no shortage. Since our supplies are
virtually inexhaustible."
1--WE are certainly far more fortu-
nate than Japan, which must import
large quantities Of salt" he added.
Salt is found in 10 states, with
Michigan first and New York Sec
ond in production, with 50 plants op-
Grated by SO companies in the U. S.

Aussie Raiders
Keep Foe Busy
Force Slew 500 Japanese
And Lost Only IL Men,
Says Commando Chief.

NEW YORK.-The dramatic story
Of the work of Australian comman-
dos in New Guinea has finally been
released by the Australian COM
mand. The commands have never
surrendered one man, alive, wound
ed or dead, although they have
harassed the Japanese in the Lac.
Mubo and Salamaua areas of New
Guinea for several months. Their
leader, 25-year-old Lieut.. Col. Nor
man L. Fleay, veteran Of the West
ern Desert and Greece, returning
to Australia to recover from wounds
received during commando opera
tons, reported that the commands
had lost only IL men killed. He esti-
mated that they had killed more
than 500 japanese.
Leader Reconnoitered Wan.
Lieutenant Colonel Fleay himself
reconnoitered Japanese-held Wau.
Returning, he took in 20 commands
with Bren and tommy guns, and hid
them under houses in which the jap
anese were quartered. When the
signal for. action was given at l
a. M, every Japanese sentry was
shot dead, and grenades were
thrown into every Japanese-occu-
pied house. Those who escaped
were sprayed with tommy gun fire.
Similar raids were made on Lac
and Salamaua, the effect Of these
sorties being to hold up the Japa-
nese attack on Wau. making possible
ultimate defeat of the enemy in that
area. ...
For months individual commands
or small parties have watched the
Japanese. recording all their activi-
ties. One man went into Mubo on
personal reconnaissance, taking an
old box camera. He brought back
a collection Of photographs illustrat-
ing the daily routine Of the Japanese
including even photograph Of the
japanese lined up for mess parade.
Lured Into BOBBY Traps.
Many ideas were developed to
harass and irritate the japanese.
One was the setting Of BOBBY traps,
a favorite being q chain Of grenades
with fuses arranged to detonate
simultaneously. One such chain, 80
yards long, was hidden in the ground,
after which the Australian comman-
dos fred on Japanese sentry to
announce their presence. Sixty Jap
anese followed the retiring Austria.
lians into the BOBBY trap. All the
Australians escaped. but none of
the Japanese escaped death or in
jury.
One commando. armed with 4
tommy gun, went to the rescue of
a wounded companion. He led IS
Japanese into the bush, and circled
back to the rear, killing them all,
and bringing in the wounded man.

By Association Speaker

The need of victory gardens to

in 'flrst-class condition" was stressed
by Dr.. Richard S. Buker, u. S. A..
returned medical missionary from
Kengtung, Burma, at a meeting of
the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Association last night
DR.. Buker advocated especially the
planting Of as many tomato vines
as possible. In the tropics it's
bananas he said, and here it is
the tomato"
Declaring food stuffs in the United
States are not unduly rationed, DR..
Buker continued
We should be thankful there is
food to ration In some countries
l have been told food cannot always
be had. We must send it abroad
too"
The association asked that special
service buses be put into operation
from Fourth and Rhode Island ave-
nue. NE. to the downtown area to
reduce crowded conditions on the
line.

Kenney's Visit Here
5tirs Talk Of Big
Blow Against laps
Increased Air Strength
In Pacific Believed Sought:
Gen. Sutherland in Group

The arrival here of 1t. Gen.
George c. Kenney. commander
of the Allied air forces in the
Southwest Pacific, at the head
Of a mission of seven officers
serving under Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, today stirred specu-
lation as to the possibility that
they may be prepared to urge
Increased air strength in the Pa
clflc theater for a real often
sive' against Japan.
Gen. Kenney's forces scored the
smashing victory over the japanese
in the Bismarck Sea a week ago,
when % ships were DESTROYED. and
there have been reports from the
Southwest Pacific that military stra-
teglsts believe the time is ripe for a
crushing blow at the Japs if suf-
flcient planes are made available.
Included in Gen Kenney's party
was Maj. Gen, Richard K. Suther-
land. Gen. MacArthur's chief of
staff, who was in the party that
made its way through the japanese
lines, from Bataan, a year ago. Gen.
Sutherland's home is at the Ken
nedy- Warren.
While the battle of the Bismarck
Sea was an amazing triumph for
Gen. Kenney's flyers, war CORE
spondents at the scene have been
careful to point out that the result
did not mean that the Allies have
overwhelming air superiority in that
area.

American citizens, whether native
born or naturalized.
Il wish to quote passage or two
from this report of the Board of
Trades committee indorsing the So
called Sumners-Capper resolution
proposing a constitutional amend
ment to authorize Congress to grant
to the people of the District of CO.
lumbia measure. at least. of self
government and measure of the
suffrage and representation rights
which the rest of us have. I quote
and indorse most heartedly AS fol-
lows:
The consideration of such an
amendment, Americanizing the peo-
pie Of the District, is peculiarly ap-
propriate as a wise measure of war
preparedness and is in accordance
with the wartime spirit.
Statehood Not Proposed.
In accordance with the spirit of
wartime and in recognition of the
democratic principle that they who
risk their lives for their country's
defense are entitled to participate
In the government which sends them
to war, Congress has declared that
our soldiers. sailors and marines
are high up in the preferred list of
voters among the millions of
American arm bearers thus honored
are thousands of Washingtonians
who, though Just as enthusiastic
patriotic and self sacrificing as their
companions, were forbidden by the
Constitution to participate in the
national election
Il call attention to the fact that
this proposed amendment does not
propose to give statehood rights to
the District of Columbia. On ratifi-
cation the Congress still will have
full and reVocable power to provide
tor such self government and for
such participation in their govern
ment to the residents of the District
I sincerely trust that an early and
favorable report may be given the
resolution and both branches of
Congress will act favorably upon it.
so that belated act of fairness
and justice to these Washingtonians
otherwise qualified may be recog-
nlzed for what they are-American
citizens entitled to the rights of
American citizens"

Three Who Drifted
81 Days Used Toes
As Lure for Shark
Survivors, Brought Here,
Soy Ships Passed Close
Without Seeing Them

The epic of three men who pitted
their endurance against the sea for
83 days-believed by the Navy to be
the record for survivors-was de-
scribed yesterday by Basil D. Izzi,
naval gunner, who is recovering
from the ordeal in Bethesda Naval
Medical Center. His ship was tor
pedoed in the South Atlantic,
Accompanied by four others, two
of them Navy men who died during
the days adrift, Mr.. Izzi drifted
about 1900 miles before being picked
up by an American warship on Jan
uary "a.
Ensign James Maddox of Lafay-
cite, Ohio. who was commander of
the gun crew on the torpedoed ship,
died on the 77rh day adrift. George
Beasley, gunner. was buried at sea
II days before that.
Lost So Pounds.
Mr.. Izzi who lost over so pounds
during the ordeal, is from South
Barre, Mass. Only 20, he attributes
his survival to daily prayers and the
fact that God was with him all the
way"
The group started their drifting
trip after the four others fished Mr..
1zzi out of the water, when the YES
sci was torpedoed. They had with
them about 10 gallons of water which
lasted Is days. nine cans of milk, a
box of chocolate and a few dozen
biscuits, all Of which gave out on the
18th day
When the food gave out, they be-
gan catching sharks little fish and
birds. Their first shark they caught
with lasso after Turing the fish into
the loop by letting their feet dangle
in the water. They caught about %
birds which alighted on the raft.
Saw Ships and Planes.
Both of the men who died lost
their minds before death came Each
pilt WoS put lIito VIC sea dJJtl HIS
clothes had been stripped from his
body and prayers said over his re-
mains.
The most heartbreaking part of
the whole trip was the way ships
would come so close to us and keep
right on going, Mr. Izzi related.
ON the goth day We saw our first
merchantmen. We burnt our flares
but they didn't see us. The same
thing happened the very next day.
Many days later two planes few
overland they didn't see US. Fin
ally a Warship rescued us"
The thing I missed most was my
mothers spaghetti. I dreamed and
talked of food the whole time I was
floating out there
