INSIDE STORY

Then why don't you limit your
subjects to courtesles and humanl-
ties and let war information alone
- the answer is that in great
many instances members of varl-
GUS government or national boards
and organizations send me infor-
nation with the suggestion that
my readers might find it helpful.
One letter was received this
morning from a director of the
Western Union: There has been
much confusion in connection with
restrictions of birth announce
ments. Your readers will be glad to
know that all such messages which
read Helen gave birth to nine
pound boy today and both dong
we'll, may be accepted, However,
if the telegram read: 'Congratula-

sidered message of fe!icitatlon or

said.

fered from the confusion caused

rationing are now in a better posi-
ton to conduct their business in a

stances cannot again be offered for

Sees Hull
Forcing Third Party

By the Associated Press.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. Of
Montana, predicts creation OF "a
strong third party" in the event OF
a. Republican-Democrat agreement
on a foreign policy plank in next
years presidential campaign.
Commenting yesterday in a state
ment by Secretary. of State Hull,
that he had been working to get the
Nations political leaders in agree
ment on foreign policy, Senator
Wheeler told reporters:
1T would undoubtedly mean a
strong third party, one that is not
only interested in preserving free
enterprise in this country but wants
to prevent this country's interests
from being subordinated to the in
terests of any European and Asiatic
power"
Agreeing with that view, Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, declared that an agreement
on less than an America first"
foreign policy would foster a third
party"

House Drive Tanned
Ito Restore Funds
For War Bond Ads
3, the Associated Lless.

81 the Associated Press.
A House drive developed today to
override the Senate's halving of a
proposed $25, ,000, ,0OO- $50, 900 900 War
bond advertising fund.
Use of from $l2,50O, 900 to SIS, ,0O0,- :
600 a year for newspaper advertising,
largely in cities under 10000 popula-
ton, was authorized in a bill which
passed the Senate late yesterday, 40
to IS.
The bill originally called for an
annual advertising expenditure of
$25, 0.000 to $4,000, 900, halved
equally between large and small
newspapers. The Senate amend
ment to cut this total in two elimi-
mated metropolitan daily newspapers

lies, semiweeklies and triweekly
papers published in cities of more
than 10000 population eligible to
share in the advertising on the same
basis as those in smaller towns.
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee, declaring
an attempt would be made there to
restore the fund to the full amount,
said:
England and Canada buy space
to advertise their War bond drives,
and there is overwhelming support
for the plan in the House"
He said recent newspaper poll
showed publishers favor the Gov
|ernment-purchased advertising pro-
gram, $500 to $50. Under the orig
inal bill. the fund would amount to
$500 or 5000 each for small weeklies
and range upward, depending on the
size of the newspaper.
The plan encountered stiff oppo-
sition in two days of Senate debate

This Is = subsidy II I ever saw
one" declared Senator Maloney,
Democrat, Of Connecticut.
Whatever party is In power
echoed Senator Truman, Democrat,
of Missouri, 1T is . bad thing to use
Federal money to subsidize the
press"
Mr. Cannon, speaking In the House
yesterday, insisted there's no way
in the world by which the admin
istration could give preference to
one newspaper over another"
There Is no way" he said, "by
which influence could be bought"
The Senate rejected an amend
ment by Senator LANCER, Repub-
lican, of North Dakota, under which
S., 900, 900 would go for purchase OF
radio time on small stations. Also
beaten down was an amendment by
Senator Danaher, Republican, OF
Connecticut. to allow party leaders
in Congress to review the adver-
tising to eliminate possible parti-
sanship.
Senator Reed, Democrat, of Kan
sas sponsored the amendments that
cut the advertising in half and re-
stricted 1t largely to small dailies
weeklies and semiweeklies. He con-
tended that privately-sponsored
bond advertising is concentrated in
the big dailies and thus reaches the
urban audiences adequately. Sen

ChastIeton Tenants
To Continue Battle
Against Eviction

Tenants of the Chastleton Apart
ment Hotel will hold another mass
meeting at 9 pm. Friday to con-
tinue their fight to forestall re-
ported Navy Department move to
buy the property for WAVE quar-
ters, D. C. Ketcham, chairman Of
the Tenants Committee, said to-
day.
The Executive Board of the WASH
ington Housing Association planned
meeting this afternooi to discuss
the Navy's reported interest in TAX
ing over an apartment building or
hotel for WAVES. Marvin Wire,
director of the War Housing Center,
said the Washington War Housing
Committee, advisory group to the
center, probably will take up the
matter Monday at its monthly
meeting.
Chastleton tenants will not slack
en- their protests. Mr.. Ketcham said,
although they were assured at mass
meeting last night that the Navy so
far has entered into no definite ne
gotiations for purchase of the prop
erty.
The assurance was reported by
Mr.. Ketcham as having come from
Thomas D. Carson, president of
Washington Properties, Inc, owners
of the Chastleton. Mr.. Carson was
invited to attend last nights meet
ing but was absent. He will be in
vited to the Friday night meeting
SO that he may assure the tenants
personally, Mr.. Ketcham said.
MI. Ketcham pointed out that Mr..
Carson, while denying sale negotia-
tions have begun, acknowledged
that the Navy is interested" in the
Chastleton and in several other
here as possible WAVE
residences.
In support of the tenant protest,
it was pointed out at last nights
meeting that 78 per cent of the pres
ent Chastleton occupants are Gov
ernment employees or are directly
in war work. Eleven per
cent are dependents of men in the
armed forces, it was said, while the
remainder are housewives, children
and elderly persons, some of whom
have lived in the building for many
years.
Yesterday, Chairman Byrd OF the
Joint Congressional Economy Com
mittee, said the committee would in
vestigate the case.

RabauI From Japs
N the Associated PresS

~ tne Associated Press.
A climax in the campaign for
Rabaul, once powerful Japanese
base In the South Pacific, appeared
near today. This was emphasized
by q naval spokesman who told of
mounting damage to Japanese ships
and planes in the Rabaul area, and
asserted:
THE japanese have suffered
enough damage to important fleet
units to give them cause for serious
consideration OF abandoning the
base as too hot to handle"
His statement, made after he re-
ported yesterday the destruction OF
102 enemy planes in the last six
days and the battering of surface
units in the Rabaul area, tied in
closely with previous assertion by
Secretary of the Navy Knox that
there Is a possibility the Japanese
might in time evacuate Rabaul.
Hammer Incessantly at Stronghold
For weeks Allied bombers have
hammered necessarily at the enemy
stronghold on New Britain Island,
northwest of the Solomons.
They have sent ship after ship to
the bottom of the harbor. Ranging
far to the north, other planes have
battered conveys moving toward
Rabaul, sinking ships loaded with
men and supplies and even blasting
homeward-bound conveys that had
eyaded the Allied blockade.
Japanese positions ashore, too
have been bombed, and many
buildings and emplacements have
been leveled.
All Of those operations when
viewed from an overall standpoint
could indicate that softening up
attacks such as always precede in
vasions may be underway against
the base.

Poon Linn Tells Of Patient Wait
For Fate on Raft 137 DAYS
Chinese Drifted On,
With Neither Hope
Nor Despair
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

He didn't hope and he didn't de-
spair. He just lived on from day to
day, figuring that fate would de-
termine what would happen to him,
and there was no use worrying.
Thus Poon Linn, Chinese ships
steward, explained how he lived
through one of the most extraor-
binary feats in recorded history
surviving 131 days at sea in an open
raft.
Poon Linn received the press at
a temporary Government building
at Second and T streets S.W He
was guest of-and this is all one
title--the Emergency Rescue Equip
ment Section of the Office Of Co.
ordinator of Rescue and Develop
ment of the Navy.
Looks Like Student.
The 25-year- old Chinese, neat and
smiling, looking like some univer-
sity student, gave his interview
through an interpreter, Ii Ling All
of New York, young woman who
lectures extensively and speaks Eng
lish without trace of accent.
But didn't he give up hope?" re-
porters pressed.
There was a rapid exchange OF
Chinese. Then Mrs. Ii reported:
mo, he didn't give up hope. And,
at the same time, he had no hope.
It's hard to explain. He figured
that if the devil wanted him, he'd
take him, and otherwise he'd be
saved. He didn't know which. And
he didn't much care. But he was
going on from day to day, doing
what he could for himself"
Vaguely Recalls Others.
Poon was on a British ship which
was torpedoed off the coast of At
RIGA. He found himself alone on a
life raft with, providentially, a cask
of water and some crackers. He
had a vague recollection, in the
shock of being thrown into the
water, of seeing some other persons
in another raft, but he has never
been able to learn what happened
to them or whether there were any
other survivors of the wreck.
The raft, he estimated, was 9
feet square. He rationed himself
with water and crackers for so days,
and then he decided he must do
something else. There still was
water, but the crackers were eaten
up.
He stripped a life preserver of
enough material to make a line,
and he pulled up nail from the
raft for a hook. Bait? Well, he
scraped some barnacles from the
bottom of his craft and attached
them to the bent nail.
AS a result. he began catching
sizable fish. He ate them-raw, of
course. Next, he told himself that
birds could not see at night and
yet flew at sea. So he held out

The War Labor Board yesterday
announced Its refusal to approve a
l0-cent wage increase. Current
wage rates are 80 cents an hour for
motormen and conductors of two
man cars, and 80 cents for operators
of one-man cars and buses. Com
pany officials estimate that 100000
to 100000 persons use the Los
Angeles Railway Co. cars and buses
daily in this center Of war industries.
Asked to Call OF Walkout.
The WLB, asking the union to
call off the walkout, said that this
strike would seriously cripple vital
transportation services in a large
portion of the Southern California
area, and would not only be In vio-
lation of labor's pledge to the Presi-
dent, but would be in direct violation
of the national poicy-expressed by
Congress in the Smith Connally
Act"
The board said increases ranging
from IS to rs per cent already had
