With the miners wage dispute

chiefs elect 10 calf walkout.
While most government officials
are confident a strike will not
materialize, there is no clear in-

The cost of living committee s
report may come too late TO have

and. If not, suggest what changes
should be made.
While chiefs of the Is non

Congress for help, President
Philip Murray of the United

Thought They We're
Deep in Texas

PONTIAC, Mich, Nov. 8 -
(P) - Japanese soldiers on
Guadalcanal actually thought
they were fighting in Texas in
stead of on a South. Pacific
island" Marine Corp. Harry
Randall of Milwaukee told war
workers at the Baldwin Rubber
Co. plant here today.
Some of the Japs, reSigning
themselves to death when they
were captured, would say, Well,
you may have us, but you'll new
er get California back, Ran
dali said.
A captured Jap, who said he
drove a taxi cab in New York
for II years, became American
lied again after his capture and
was of great help in directing
the Marines 10 Jap positions,
Randall related.
He said that the fighting
proWess of the Jap has been
over-estimated The little fell
lows are clever fighters but
never saw one OF them get the
best Of Marine. Perhaps their
biggest asset and the greatest
thorn IN our lde was the fact
that they didn't know when TO
quit Ninety nine per cent of
their men could be wiped out,
but that one per cent would just
dig in and keep on fighting.
Sometimes our forces tossed
grenades into a ditch and left
il with a pile of dead JapS. When
the cleanup squads came by
later they found live Japs buried
under the piles Of dead ones. II
was one OF their tricks 10 have
officers on the bottom OF the
pile and enlisted men on top.
Randall, convaleScent at the
Great Lakes naval hospital, is
touring war plant under Spon-
sorShip of the Navy Department.
He also was scheduled TO
speak al Port Huron today, at
