Melbourne Herald and formerly
Australian director general of in
formation, declared today that Aus
tralia would stand in need Of firm
alliance with the United States after
the war and that she must main
tain Americas binding interest in

Writing in the Melbourne Herald
under the heading What Ameri-
cans Mean to Australians" Muir
doch declared that every effort
should be made to promote closer
relations with the United States
and said that in postwar planning
we should aim at America joining
in control of those islands and
strategic parts of the Asiatic main
land which must be held for the
white mans defense"
Il believe that an active British
American alliance with joint
partnership in many undeveloped
parts of the world is eagerly to be
DESIRED" he wrote, But whatever
is said about the future of Europe
the interchangeable fact about Aus
tralasia is that it's security and
progress are beyond the single
strength of its inha bitants and what
Britain in its future strategical sit

LONDON, March 3-There can be

men of British submarine to con-
clude they "torpedoed" an enemy
aircraft for an unusual victory.
This was how one of the wars
strangest combat actions occurred:
While his submerged submarine
was patrolling the Mediterranean
one day early in the year, 1t S. L. c.
Maydon sighted an enemy supply
ship escorted by three low-fying
planes. 1t. Maydon ordered a tor
pedo fired.
Observing the result Of the attack
through his periScope, 1t. Maydon
found that all that was left of the
target was a magnificent column
OF orange and white smoke rising
1000 feet high"
He then noted with establishment
that only two enemy plane were in
sight. The third apparently had
been caught by the explosion from
the supply vessel and destroyed.

Admiral Byrd Says
laps Anticipated
Labor Unrest in West
Tells Aircraft Workers
That Enemy Propaganda
f'oys Up Disputes
BY the Associated Press,


SEATTLE, March 8.-Japanese
war lords have been using a fore
knowledge of the labor unrest in
the Pacific Coast aircraft industry
in their propaganda efforts against
the United Nations, Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd told a mass meet
ing of Boeing workers yesterday.
A crowd Of 1000 workers heard
the famed Antarctic explorer, who
is In the United States between
active duty assignments overseas,
assert that Japan has been pre-
dieting and depending on the wage
troubles of the workers to flare into
labor unrest.
Il fear that I must drop a small
sized bomb in our midst" the ad-
hiral said in opening the address.
Some months ago the Jap war
lords said they knew that there
would be West Coast labor trouble
about this time. They held this to
be certainty. They were gloating
over it,
Now I know that information
will make you mighty peeved. Ma
tlonal safety prevents my telling
you how we knew the Jap warlords
were discussing this coming trouble.
but the source of the information
Is unquestionable.
Furthermore, we know from neu-.
trail countries that the Japs have
been using this fore-knowledge of
the West Coast labor troubles as
propaganda to influence neutral
countries to fight with the Axis
against us, on the ground that free
people can't govern themselves
properly or compete with the Axis
In war because they are too indi-
vidualistic and self-centered really
to unite.
; ct am as Certain as I stand on
this platform that you andvaH the
rest of us will in the end prove
these Jap warlords to be liars"
The mass meeting was called BY
the district council of the Boeing
Aircraft Workers Union as a pro-
test against the starting wage in
crease of Az cents an hour granted
the workers by the War Labor
Board last week. The council had
predicted that between $4,000 and
10000 workers would attend the

trolled waters.
Lt. NlmlIZ conducted THIS recon-
Nuisance with two men in small
boat and definitely determined that
the personnel were not there to be

pert execution of this hazardous
maneuver in stormy sea, at great
risk to his own personal safety, was
in kepeing with the highest tradi-
tons of the United States naval
service"

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, March S--An-
other lingering hangover of Vichy
| influence in French North Africa
was wiped out over the week end
when Gen, Henri Giraud nquidated
government bureau which has been
administering anti-Jewish measures
originally inspired by the Nazis.
Political observers predicted the
action would be followed in few
days by series of DEGREES eliminate
ing one by one other Vichy laws
which still are on the books in the
territory under Gen. Giraud,s juris-
diction
Many of these, such as the law for
bidding French citizens to listen to
| foreign broadcasts, have not been
enforced since the Allied landings in
North Africa, but they have never.
been repealed and Gen. Giraud's
failure to repudiate them has been
a source Of sharp criticism in some
quarters.
Gen. Giraud's action against the
| antl-JeWlSh government depart
ment was taken after it had direct
ed the official Algerian Gazette to
publish two Vichy sc,fees dated
october 10, 1912, relative to the
status of native Jews in Algeria.
In an official statement Gen.
Giraud said republication OF the
DEGREES had been ordered without

Rubber Employees
Strike as Protest
Over WLB Delays

Plant WuIkout Starts
With Midnight Shift
BY the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
MISHAWAKA, Ind, March B.
Employees of the United States Rub
Der Co.'S ball band plant here went
on strike today in protest against
unreasonable delay" by the War
Labor Board in acting on an appeal
for higher wages.
Called yesterday at a series of
meetings held by members of Local
No. IS, United Rubber Workers of
America (CIO), the strike started as
the midnight shift was scheduled
to go on duty. Only few workers
showed up and they were informed
of the strike by union representa-
tives stationed at each plant gate
Charles Glaes, manager of the
plant, said there was nothing the
company could do about the demand
for higher wages without an order
from the 'WLB. Approximately
three-fourths of the plants output
is used in war work.
George S. Cummins, president OF
the union, said the strike was called
as protest against unreasonable
delay" by the WLB in acting on the
unions appeal for increased wages.
The union, he said, had asked for
an increase of 121a cents an hour.
The present wage scale in the plant
is IS cents an hour and up for
women and 80 cents and up for men,
giving a plant average of SO cents
an hour.
Mr.. Cummins said the increase
had been sought in November, 1941,
and the case had been placed before
the WLB on May %, 1912. Since
that time, he said, there had been
no decision, although the board had
acted on other less important cases"
in the meantime.

Tin Can Collection
Tagging in District,
Salvage Official Says
February Accumulation
Only Is Pct. Of Quote,
Horace Walker Reports

Salvage officials today expressed
concern over the future of the cam
paign to collect tin cans in the face
Of the point-rationing program.
Even though collections of cans
from private homes increased %
per cent in February over the
previous month, the total of 400 900
pounds was only Is per cent of the
quota set for the District according
10 Horace Walker, executive secre-
tary OF the District Salvage Com
mittee. Purchases of canned goods
were unrestricted last month, ex-
cept during the last week when
these foods Wera frozen"
The quota for the District, Mr..
Walker said, is one ton of cans for
every 1000 persons each month, or
2 pounds per person. The average
family used IS cans month in pre-
fationlng days, he added.
At the same time. however, Mr..
Walker said so per cent increase
IN collections from Army camps in
the military district of Washington
was iloeeu idSt nlOnUn.
While he said salvage officials
realize the manpower difficulties of
commercial establishments, great
quantities of tin cans must in the
future come from them. Many of
the commercial establishments will
not feel the impact of rationing and
methods of increasing cooperation
on the part of such sources must
be emphasized, Mr.. Walker said.
1t can be said, Mr.. Walker warned,
that the success of the program will
determine in large measure the
amount of tin available for civilian
canned goods in the very near
future. Existing inventories of tin
supplies are rapidly diminishing, he
said
In the case of the housewife living
IN private dwelling, it is merely
necessary to place prepared tin cans
In a suitable container beside her
garbage for regular collections, he
explained. However, in the case of
commercial establishments, includ-
ing apartments. it is necessary to
register with the Salvage Commit
tee.
As Of February !, the following
were registered: Apartment houses,
40l; hotels, Is; restaurants, 267:
