minutes allotted that sector on the show. CTS in the frozen North, from Reyjavik, Iceland, and Fair banks, Alaska, have prepared sim pie messages in song to loved ones at home.
 We're doing OK here, how are you boys doing over there?" that's a rough idea of the conversation to be heard when the men at Guadalca- nal send greeting to the men in Algiers, who in turn will pipe sa- lute back.
 | WAVES will speak from Hunter College in New York and WAC's from headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa. The Midshipmens Choir at Annapolis and the band of the Coast Guard Academy at New London will fill the air with musical greetings to fighting partners the world over. A Roman Catholic priest who con- ducts weekly services in a Jewish synagogue, because a rabbi has gone to war, will tell of his duties on the program.
 And from the vast eXpanSe of Halloran Hospital on Staten Island will come the voice of a wounded soldier-a soldier who has complet- ed his mission on the fighting front so that it may be forever possible to broadcast such programs as these to free men in free lands.
 Fifteen Connecticut boys at the Tn antry Replacement Training Center at Camp Wheeler, Georgia will voice their Christmas greetings to the folks back home in a record- ing which was especially made for them by the camps Public Rela- tions Officer, Lieutenant Edward G. Penniman, and which will be broadcast at 9:30 Sunday morning over WTIC.

Some actors make a Broadway debut with fanfare and ballyhoo. Earle McGill made his with the bum's rush.
 This is literally so-he was pro- pelled through the wings towards the footlights with Joseph Calleia bringing up the rear-one hand on Earle's coat collar, the other on the seat of his pants.
 It happened during the run of Jed Harris Broadway when Calleia now a celebrated Hollywood character actor, was playing a waiter. and McGill was general understudy.
 McGin, now director of CBS' Report to the Nation," recalls the incident with relish.
 "Calleia was going out on the road" he says, land since was general understudy, Harris gave the part to me. There I was in the wings, not even knowing enough to take my cues, and Calleia hang ing on to my pants and coat. 'Now?' I said. No, not yet!' said Calleria. Then again, Now?' I said. Now said Calleia. And he just picked me up and showed me on."

Sullivan Would Extend

Treasury Department hopes for

system were re-expressed last night
by Assistant Secretary John L. Sui
Ivan.
Explaining the new 5 per cent
Victory tax on incomes over 1924
a year. Mr.. Sullivan in a radio ad-
dress said:
I'VE believe that the additional
work which withholding tof the
Victory tax will impose upon en-
ployers, and upon the Government,
will be more than offset by the con-
venience to the taxpayer and by
the fact that at least to this extent
the taxpayer has been placed upon
a pay -as-you-go basis.
I'VE hope that this is the Begin
ming of system which will enable
people to pay substantial part OF
all their taxes out of their current
income-an arrangement which will
be far more satisfactory to the tax
payers and to the Treasury. and
which should constitute formid-
able weapon with which to combat

At Port Moresby the Jap was

AN EAST COAST PORT, Jan. 2.
Nineteen crewmen from a British
merchant vessel, the survivors of
two torpedoings, spent a total of II
days in lifeboats in the South At
lantic far of the coast of South
America last month.
They first entered a small boat
early in the month when subma-
rine sent their medium sized mel
chairman to the bottom with three
torpedoes, two of which hit home.
First Rescue in IL Days.
After II days afloat in the tiny
craft, they were picked up by an
other British which
fell victim to submarine torpedo
attack "a hours later.
This time the original 10 seamen
were in lifeboats six days before
they were taken aboard a Swedish
vessel and landed at a South Amer
lean port.
The captain of the first ship was
taken prisoner aboard the subma-
rine and ~ other members Of the
crew are misshg-although most of
them last were seen in lifeboats
sailing toward land and may have
been rescued already.
Boat With 10 Swamped.
The third officer and 10 men were
in motorized lifeboat, but the craft
was swamped by the force of the
second torpedo to hit the ship and
they could not start the engine. The
propeller acted as drag, and they
soon lost contact with survivors in
two other lifeboats.
They had only eight gallons of
fresh water, but managed to catch
some rainwater and as q result still
had eight gallons when they were
picked up.
The second British ship sank in
two minutes after one torpedo
struck, and II members of the crew
OF IS are missing and feared lost.
The % survivors plus the 10 men
from the first ship found room in
two lifeboats.

PALESTINE, Tex, Jan. From
far away jungles comes a war story
woven around strange fate that
brought aerial enemies together
afoot on the lonely eastern coast of
New Guinea.
Sergt. John Riley Henson, o.,
bomber gunner home on a furlough,
said, I'VE were flying over Lac on a
bombing mission. japanese anti
aircraft fire fouled our hydraulic
system and Jap Zero fighter shot
out our left engine. The strain on
the other engine soon burned it out
so We released our bombs and pre-
pared to set her down on the water,
10 miles from shore"
In the fight with the Jap Zero
two members of the American crew
were killed. The remaining five
scrambled into rubber life RATS as
the big ship hit the sea.
Eighteen hours later the Ameri-
cans reached shore and wandered
into a native trading post. After
dispatching native with note by
boat on long and circuitous trip
toward Port Moresby. the Ameri-
cans settled down for three weeks
with the natives, and it was during
this time that japanese aviator,
armed, wandered into camp.
The Jap bailed out of his own
plane during a fight" said Sergt.
Henson. I'VE were startled when
he walked into our camp but when
he started speaking good English
we learned he was graduate of
U. c. L. A. He offered us his gun
and assured us he didn't want to
fight Americans"
When the Americans finally
boarded a trading boat and started
back for Port Moresby they took
the japanese prisoner with them.

WITH THE AMERICAN AIR
FORCES IN CHINA, Jan. l de-
layed.-The japanese air base at
Shwebo, almost in the center of
Burma, was given New Year Day
blasting today by American bombers
which flew nearly 800 miles from
China into enemy territory over
towering mountains and dense
jungle.
(The raid was a quick follow
up to an attack from the other
direction by American planes
which few in from India We'd
nesday to strike this Jap base.)
Heavy bombs tore up the main
runway of the airfield and blasted
dispersal areas on either side.
The American flyers met no OPP
position.
Anti-aircraft Silent.
No enemy planes took of from
Shwebo or its nearby satellite field
and even the anti-aircraft guns
were silent as the American bomb
ers, escorted by fighters, wheeled
out of the sun for the long run over
the airf1eld.
In the navigator's compartment
OF the Texas Tornado" one of the
leading planes in the flight of bomb
ers, piloted by First 1t. Lucien
Youngblood of Waco, I saw a huge
black explosion mushroom up at the
start of the runway and striking
out down most of its length.
1t will take the Japs much labor
before they use that runway again.

Bomber's Right Engine Quits.
This trip ION the road to Manda-
iay"-Col. Bayese remarked you
could almost spit on Mandalay"-
was not wholly uneventful for me,
however.
Coming home, the right engine of
the Texas Tornado quit cold. while
I and the members of the crew
seated it out as they put it.
The crew included Its. James
Routt, Nicholsville, KY: Charles

Norman Parker, Greenville, Ala, and
James Ayers, Blountstown, Fla.
Youngblood pulled us across two
mountain ridges, on one engine.
Then, after We had fallen far behind
our formation, completed motor adj
justments. The right propeller began
whirling again, and the engine
picked up beautifully.
We reached for cigarettes, and
caught up With the other planes near
our home base.
