NAVAL BATTLE:
Convoy Scattered

Happening upon a Jap convoy
northwest of the Aleutian islands, a
daring American naval task force
closed in for an attack even as
strong Japanese units bore down off
its flank.
After breaking up the convoy
which included three transports
headed for Attu and Kiska, the
American force, led by Rear Adm.
c. H. McMorris, then wheeled to-
ward home, and with three destroy
ers running interference, maneu-
vered clear of the enemy fleet.
Racing in close to hold off the Jap
fleet with torpedo fire, the destroy
ers threw up smoke e to COW
er their withdrawal after the at
tacks. Checked by the fire. the en-
envy stood by while the Americans
slipped through.
Despite the intense barrage of the
heavy Jap cruisers and destroyers
which fell within the proximity of
the American ships, the U. S. units
emerged with no material losses.

COAL TRUCE:
Time to Dicker

Following the establishment Of a
15-day truce in the bitter coal strike,
Secretary Of the Interior Harold
1ckes ordered the nations $3.50
mines to shift to a six-day week or
suffer cancellation Of price increases
recently granted them to cover the
expense Of such operations.
Under the miners present con-
tract, they are paid time-and-half
for all work over IS hours on the
sixth day. The additional pay they
receive under 1ckes' order was said
not to need the approval Of the War
Labor board.
Reached by the government with
the United Mine Workers chieftain,
John L. Lewis, the truce
continued coal production and op-
portunity for additional negotiation
with the operators.
From the first, Lewis gave no in
dication Of backing down on his de-
mands for a So a day wage increase;
for time spent in the mines travelling
to and from the coal faces, and
unionization of minor bosses.
At the same time, Lewis continued
to hammer at the War Labor boards
formula for limiting wage increases
to IS per cent over 1941 levels.

CHINA:

Continuing in their reported cam
paign to obtain full grasp of the rail-
road system Of China to build up a
communication line from the Asiatic
mainland to Japan, select Nipponese
troops continued hammering at stra-
tegic Chinese positions.
While the Japs claimed to have
ercircled 20, 900 Chinese troops along
the Peiping- Hankow railroad, the
Chinese asserted that their troops
repulsed persistent Jap attacks.
Japanese efforts to drop picked
troops behind Chinese lines by para
chute failed, the Chinese said, when
their forces wiped out these units in
hard fighting. All along the Taiheng
mountains where the battle ragged.
the Chinese held their ground in

PAY AS YOU co:
1870 Forgiuen

AS the shadows heightened on
Capitol Hill, 313 congressman end
ed a hectic day of debate by pass
ing the Robertson-Forand pay-as-
you-go measure, forgiving rs per
cent Of the 1912 income taxes and
putting all taxpayers on a current
basis.
After rejecting the Ruml plan as
embodied in the Carlson bill, which
would have forgiven all taxes, and
voting to recommit the house ways
and means committee measure,
which would have applied 1941 rates
to 1912 incomes. the congressman
acted on the Robertson-Forand pro-
posal.
Under the Robertson-Forand bill,
which went to the senate following
house action, all taxpayers would
be exempted from paying the 6
per cent normal and first surtax of
10 per cent on their 1912 incomes.
Those with taxable income over the
10 per cent surtax, however, would
have to pay balance of the 1912
tax. In that case, their first two
payments this year would be ap-
piled against their remaining liabil-
ity, and if they still had a balance
outstanding, they could clean it up in
two later payments.
AS to 1913 taxes, the Robertson
Forand bill provides for a 20 per
cent withholding tax against wages
and salaries after exemptions have
been estimated. OF this amount, 3
per cent would be taken out for the
Victory tax. the tax being reduced
from S per cent.

Hard to Stomach

The smallest member of the
United States senate was G%eorgia's
Alexander H. Stevens, later vice
president of the Confederacy. He
was less than five feet tall and
weighed somewhat under 80
pounds.
One day an out-sized western
congressman, stung into a fury by
the barbed remarks of the little
Georgian, shouted: "You! You!
Why, I could swallow you and
never know I'd ct a thing!"
Replied Senator Stevens: "In
that case you'd have more brains
in your belly than you ever had
in your head"

TRAGEDY:

Tragedy on the bleak island of Ice

American general to be killed or
missing in this war when Lieut.. Gen.
Frank M. Andrews, commander of

SUBS:
Japs Efficient

According to Allied Spokesman,
Japanese submarine activity in the
South Pacific has equaled that of
the Germans in the Atlantic.
In both cases, Allied naval lead
ers said enemy U-boats have sunk
about 2 per cent of total shipping.
Using 2 per cent as a basis, the
Allies have lost 2l0, 900 tons during
the five months of the Tunisian cam
paign. No actual figures were given
for the Pacific theater.
The Japs put out a claim recently
that they had sunk a ~. O00-to tank

TOUGH JOB

When you sift down all the hula
baloo about Elmer Davis and his
Office Of War Information, the only
valid criticism you can make against
the drawing Hoosier is that he is
working too hard. The last two
weeks when he went on the air, he
was so exhausted he had a standby
alongside ready to take up his script
If he collapsed.
Davis works far into the night,
tries to read all that his voluminous
office produces, sees almost every.
n who wants to see him.
But given a tough situation, basic.
ally he has done a good job. Sena-
tors like Montana's Wheeler and
Nevada's McCarran, whose acid di.
gestive systems r always poisoning
their political outlook. make a wry
face at Davis. But Wheeler and
McCarran are always demanding
more facts and inside fact is that
Davis has been fighting their battle
in keeping the American public in
formed.
Most Of Davis fight is getting
news. squeezing it out of government
bureaus which don't want to give,
making the army and navy release
facts which show up their mistakes,
rowing with Czarubber LETTERS be-.
cause his estimates on tires are toe
rosy.
When Davis stepped down from
his well-paying radio job to c~orrelate
government information. everyone
envied him his job, thought he had a
softie. But the job Of digging news,
accurate news, unpleasant news out
Of the government is not soft. And
it is not popular.
Davis is a good newSman. Being
such, he is not popular, never will
be in some quarters.
Note: Davis did his best to re-
lease the story on bombing Tokyo
long ago. Several times he urged
the White House that the American
public should know the facts. Ear
lier, when the Japs released a pic
ture of U. S. fiers supposedly cap
tured in the Tokyo raid. Davis want
ed to point out the truth. namely that
these we're naval ficrs, not Doolit-
ties. They had been captured in a
naval battle. This explanation was
broadcast to foreign countries by
owl, but Davis. through no fault Of
his. was not permitted to tell folks
at home.

AIR PRISONERS IN GERMANY
The fate Of American fiiers in the
Doolittle raid has raised the ques.
ton: What happens to airmen who
60 down over Europe? Here is the
answer from an officer Of the U. S.
bomber command in England.
II fiers bail out and get down
safely over France, Belgium or oc.
cupied Europe, their chances Of get.
ting back to England r pretty
good. They become prisoners Of
war, but in the curse of exchanging
prisoners, they may soon get back tc
base.
If they bail out over Germany,
there's not much chance Of getting
back. But so far as we know, the
treatment Of air prisoners is similar
to that Of other prisoners, and varies
according to rank.
There is one incident, however,
that damns the German record-the
story of Paddy Finucane. Most peo'
pie suppose that the famous Raj
ace lost his life because his Spitfre
crashed into the channel after being
hit over France.
The truth is-though this has new.
er been published-that as Finucane
was falling, he was strafed by Ger
man machine gunfre, and he was
already dead when he hit the water.
Thus a new meaning comes tc
Finucane's famous phrase, This is
it, chaps"

Hooked Fish

Fish suffer little if any pain
when they are hooked, for there
are very few nerves about the jaw
which could cause the sensation of
pain. Some trout have been known
to be hooked two or three times
in the same day-by anglers using
the same type of bait.
