Air-Borne LANDINGS
Al SaIerno Praised

Brig. Gen. Ray A. Dunn, formerly
chief of the Northwest African
Troop carrier command, yesterday
described American airborne land
ings on the beachhead at Salerno as
'one OF the most precisely executed
and remarkable of the entire cam
paign."
The entire operation, in which
thousands of parachute troops were
dropped from hundreds of trans
port planes to reinforce the hard
pressed 5th Army on the beach,
head and behind German lines at
Avellino on the night of September
l3 and IA, he said was carried out
without the loss of man or a plane
in reaching the objectives.
Gen. Dunn, just returned to
Washington. described the airborne
operations at Salerno during a War
Department press conference. He
is to be given a permanent training
command in this country after is
months of active foreign duty. which
included operations with airborne
troops at the Tunisian and Sicilian
campaigns.
Contrary to some reports. no
gliders took part in the Salerno
landings. Gen. Dunn declared our

ratty, International representative
OF the UNIV, said he was sending
men into the field to try to get the
miners back on the job"
$4,000 Miners Out.
OF Alabama's $4,000 miners, % 900
are out. No figures have been re-
ported from Indiana yet.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron & Rail-
road Co., a United States Steel sub
sidiary and the top-ranking steel
producer in the Birmingham dis
trict, was reported by the Associated
Press to be closing four blast and
five open-hearth furnaces, and is
putting its coke ovens on a As per
cent basis. All the curtailments will
be effective tomorrow. Republic
Steel is putting three blast furnaces
out Of production. The Tennessee
Co. said its coal stocks virtually
were at zero levels.
When the miners went back to
work in June. they agreed to stay
on the job until October 81, If the
Government retained possession of
the country's coal mines which were
taken over in May. The Govern
ment relinquished control of the
pits this week.
Made No Progress.
In the months intervening since
June the miners and operators have
made no headway toward negotiat-
ing a contract, after deadlocking
over the workers demands for a 81
daily increase.
The War Labor Board ordered the
miners to sign up on the terms of
their old contract-with minor re-
visions-but this mandate was ig-
nored, and the board later rejected
an agreement between the miners
and Illinois operators which would
have granted the workers liberal
allowance for underground travel
time. one of the points in dispute.
Another proposal along the same
lines is pending before the board. 1t
has been felt that an agreement be-
tween the Illinois operators and
miners might pave the way for a
general settlement.
The board. which must pass on
wartime wage increases, met with
Mr.. Lewis yesterday to talk over the
latest Illinois proposal, but did not
discuss the new walkouts, it was said.
Urge Quick Action.
Secretary of Interior Ickes. who
operated the mines for the Govern
ment, and high Army and Navy Of
fcials have urged quick action on
the coal dispute by the board, which
opposes an increase of any propor-
tions on the ground that it would
violate the Little Steel formula,
restricting pay raises. Mr.. Ickes
wrote Board Chairman William H.
Davis last Saturday that if October
81 arrives without contract be-
tween operators and miners there
almost inevitably would follow run
away strikes which might well
spread to the entire industry" Un-
dersecretary of War Patterson and
Undersecretary of the Navy For
restal also urged speedy settle
ment on Mr.. Davis.
1t has been estimated that OPA
would have to approve an increase
of % to 40 cents a ton for coal if
the miners received the increase
sought.

operate and cooperate effectively
with the other nations of the world
that their sons may never again be
needlessly slaughtered and that
peace may be preserved for their
own economic well-being and for
the economic well-being of man
kind.
They will never elect as Presi-
dent a candidate who hedges or
qualities or whose record Is am
biguous, or one concerning whose
position they have the slightest
doubt on this, the basic issue of our
day.
Must Prove Sincerity.
But once the Republican party
convinces the American people of
its sincerity in advocating real in
ternational participation, I am con-
fident that the people will recognize
and support this party as the party
of the future. For in our party
there are able men. there are the
progressive traditions, there are the
dynamic policies capable of revolu-
tionizing the outlook of mankind.
1t is our task to arouse the mighty
efforts and enterprises of our peo-
Pile, and through these to make a
reality for men and women 6very-
where in terms of work and trade,
reward and human hope.
If the party selects from among
its many able men as its candidate
for President in 1914 a man whose
record leaves no doubt that he is
qualified for the leadership of such
a cause, will, of course, support
him.
And 1t is unthinkable that the
party will select any other kind"
When Mr.. Willkie concluded his
address his audience demonstrated
for several minutes with shouts for
more.
Finally he stepped to the micro
phone and said:
I appreciate more than I can tell
your wonderful reception. These
things I have talked about I believe
in as deeply as life itself. And for
these things expect to fight and
fight to the very end"
He stood on chair and waved to
the crowd. then shook hands with
individuals who crowded to the plat
form as he walked to the exits.
A woman attracted his attention
and pointed to 1910 Willkie presi-
dental campaign button she was
wearing.
Mr.. Willkie grinned and called to
her, you're wonderful"

Land, Kaiser Urge
Allied Collaboration
In Postwar Shipping
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Rear Ad-
miral Emory S. Land, chairman of
the Maritime Commission and war
shipping administrator, and Henry
J. Kaiser, industrialist and ship
builder, joined last night in urging
the American merchant marine to
adopt a postwar policy of collabo-
ration with its maritime allies.
The two were principal speakers
at the final session Of the 18th an
nual convention of the Propeller
Club Of the United States and the
American Merchant Marine Confer
ence.
"Collaboration,' Admiral Land
said, won't be easy. 1t is one of
those things which every one favors
in principle, but few support in
practice. In other words, everybody
wants to cut the pie, but no one
wants to take small piece. 80
THE only alternative to taking
smaller pieces than we would like to
have is to increase the size of the
pie We have not scratched the sur
face of our foreign trade potential.
I recommend that we bake bigger
pie.
At an earlier session, the Propeller
Club adopted resolution urging
President Roosevelt and Congress to
lift any ban on American steamship
companies that precludes them
either by law or general administra-
tive rulings from the ownership and
operation of aircraft in overseas
commerce"
The resolution stated that such
bans will work great hardship on
the future development of the Amer
ican merchant marine in competition
with foreign flag steamship lines
that are not SO restricted"
Mr.. Kaiser told the 1000 persons
attending the meeting that the
marine industry should mot try to
take in too much neighboring ter
ritory in our postwar shipping
plans" He urged. instead, collabora-
ton with maritime allies Ito estab-
lish standards of fair competition
in the international shipping and
shipbuilding world"

Six French Captives
Steal Fuel and Escape
In German Plane
By the Associated Press.

ALGIERS, Oct. 16.-Six French
officers, flying stolen" Messer-
schmitt, landed near Algiers and re-
lated yesterday how they had filched
hidden fuel liter by liter" to make
an escape flight from German field
to Britain.
The group arrived from CROYDON
Field by way of Morocco, escorted
by British planes, after their story
was verified by a French colonel in
England.
A lieutenant piloted the plane
which they spent several weeks re-
pairing ostensibly for the Nazis to
use. He was accompanied by a CAP
tain and other lieutenants.
The pilot said he was shot down
In June, 1910, north of Dusseldorf
and was taken prisoner after para
chuting to earth. Afterward he was
placed with other officers in a plane
repair shop, where the Germans
forced them to work on military
craft.
Last July the Germans gave
them a Messerschmitt to repair.
They worked the plane and re-
worked it, While they were stalling
for time they pilfered as much gaso-
line as possible.
We saved it liter by liter" they
said, In two months We had
enough gasoline and oil"
At pm. September 20 they took
off. Two hours and fifteen minutes
later they were welcomed by a ter
rible" flax barrage near Croydon.
Don't shoot! We are six French
officers" the captain shouted to the
defenders over the planes radio
The antiaircraft fire ceased, but
English Spitfires arose and encircled
the Messerschmitt.
Lacking papers and subject to ex-
tensive examination, the group
finally met a French colonel who
was a native of the same town as
one of the fugitives He verified
their story and the group was sent
to Algiers.
