The pilot of an Abs on bombing

on the fuselage and split.
Like a stone, the pilot dropped to-

came down between two buildings.
Remnants of the torn chute caught
on a roof ledge few feet from the

be available for the 1914 crop.
Mr.. Jones said there was need for
more dry beans and peas, soybeans,
potatoes and peanuts, which have
high food value. He said to obtain
adequate increases in such crops the
VIA would continue to support
prices at levels designed to bring the
needed production volume.
A specific goal of SO 900 900 acres
of wheat was set for 1914, compared
with 54.l49 900 acres for harvest this
year. Goals for other crops will be

The administrator also announced
that cotton marketing quotas viii

because this years indicated acreage

said, requires the cooperation of

Every crop acre and every farming
facility in the Nation should be mo-

The outline of the 1914 plan urged
farmers to produce as much milk,

Isle Off Japan
Raided by U. s,
Navy Hears
Knox Doesn't Refute
Or Confirm Report;
Denies Sub War Won

Secretary of the Navy Knox
said today that there Is nothing
I can talk about" concerning re-
ports that the japanese base at
Paramushiro, in the North Ku-
rifle Islands, had been attacked
by an American plane or planes.
Il don't deny or affirm" the reperc,
ne told a press conference.
The secretary also said it was ut
terly erroneous to say that the
North Atlantic submarine war had
been won, commenting on the joint
United States-British statement on
submarine activity given out re-
Gently by the Owl.
The reports of the Paramushiro
attack have persisted at the Navy
Department since early yesterday.
Paramushiro. which lies off the
southern tip of the Kamchatka Pen
| insula, is large japanese naval and
air base and is only $50 nautical
miles from Attn.
1t is presumed that American air
forces either are using the runway
which the japanese built on Attu
or are laying down others. However.
! If an attack was made on Paramu-
| shire the planes may have gone from
| Amchitka, 81 miles southeast OF
| Kiska, where the American forces
/ have had an air base for months.
Impression Called Mistake.
Secretary Knox made no secret
! of the fact that he considers 1t a
mistake to give the impression that
the war against Axis submarines in
the North Atlantic had been won.
1T is the worst thing for us to
say it is over" Mr.. Knox said Such
a statement would be unjustifled.
We are fighting very resourceful
foe. better trained in submarine
warfare than any other nation in
the world. I haven't any doubt
that it will break out somewhere
else. 1t is very bad policy to give
the impression that it is won"

Martin Inspector Develops
Time-Sayer on Rivets
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 13.-Saving 30
per cent labor time on any piece of
work essential to the war effort is
what Glenn l.. Martin Aircraft Co.
officials say Charles j. Mellodge had
done with riveting operations.
A single Martin Marauder bomber
takes 100000 rivets, the officials say.
and Mr.. Mellodge. a company in
spector. has developed a gadget
which eliminates time lost in picking
up and placing rivets by hand before
driving them home.
The time saver is an automatic
feeder into one end of which is
dumped a quantity of rivets and
through which they are passed along
to the business end by air pressure.
A slight forward motion of the
gun inserts the rivet and the riveter
takes over from there.

Thomas Asks Renewal
OF Labor |ndustry
Group 10 End Disputes
BY the Associated Press.
H.. e

by tne hsSOClate0 PfeSs.
REGENERATION of the Industry
Labor Committee. which pro-
duced the mo strike" agreement,
as an agency to settle major dis
putes between war contractors
and employees was urged today by
Chairman Thomas of the Senate
Labor Committee.
Asserting that legislation cannot
curb strikes, Senator Thomas told
reporters he believed industrial
peace could be brought about by re-
converting the rs business and labor
leaders to act on such controversial
matters as the coal wage dispute.
Senator Thomas, who served with
Chairman William H. Davis of the
War Labor Board as a moderator
for the committee, expressed the
opinion that John L. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
would not refuse to sit down with
other labor and industrial leaders to
attempt to work out the mine prob
lem.
I'VE need to keep alive the no
strike pledge, to foster that policy
and to settle these disputes by arbi-
tration," Senator Thomas said.
Observing that passage by Con-
gress over the Presidents veto of the
Antistrike Act had not stopped
walkouts, Senator Thomas said:
The bill lays out the procedure
by which strikes may be called in
wartime and that is directly against
the no-strike policy that has been
working very we'll"
The measure fatty bans strikes
in Government-con indus
tries, such as the coal mines, and
requires 30-day notice of inten-
ton to take strike vote in pri-
vately- operated war plants.
Philip Murray, president of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
lions, said in speech this week
that his organiza ton plans speedy
court test of some of the most
.undemocratic provisions" Of the
| allcdSuIt.
President Roosevelt said in his
veto message that the bill ignored
labor's no-strike pledge and COM
mented that the 30-day cooling
off" period before strike vote is
taken might we'll become a boiling
period instead"
While there have been demands
from labor leaders for repeal of this
and another section of the law, there
seemed little likelihood of any
action.
Senate Majority Leader Barley
told reporters that as far as he
could see, no labor legislation is on
the congressional horizon when it
returns from a summer recess.

Fire that flared out of control In a
unit of the Dow Magnesium Corp. s
new $20,000,000 plant here this
morning caused damage estimated
at $500, 900.
Spread of the flames to other units
was averted, firemen said, because
the affected section is at the extreme
edge and the wind blew the blaze
away from other parts of the factory.
The roof of the 40 by 400-foot unit
collapsed a short time after flames
shot up from a magnesium pot that
boiled over. Silver bus bars used in
the production process were twisted.
One volunteer fireman suffered leg
injuries in fall.
