 Increase For
 Service Kin
By Delegate 4. J. pimond

N
 WASHINGTON In view of the impending draft from that class of men eligible for military service known as "Pre-Pearl Harbor Fath- err. the bill recently passed by Con- gress increasing allotments and all lowances for the dependents of en- listed men of the Army, Navy, Mar inc Corps and Coast Guard of the United States Is of special interest. Under prior law the wife of a ser vice man would receive $50, S22 of which came from an allotment made by the soldier and BPS paid by the Government. A wife and one child would receive $62. A wife and two children would receive SIP with S10 for each additional child. Several proposed amendments were made in Committee and on the floor of the House. As the House Committee re- ported out the bill 1t would have provided $50 for wife, $75 for wife and one child, S95 for wife and two children, and $15 for each addition al child A number of members join ed in proposing a schedule which had heretofore been approved by the Senate. This schedule called for $50 for the wife, $50 for a wife and enc child, with $20 for each additional child. Representative Sadowski of Michigan, coming from a district where the cost of living is high, proposed a still higher schedule as follows $55 for wife, $9O for wife and one child, with $50 for each ad- ditiOnal child In all these propos- als, the allotment from the enlisted man, $22, would remain the same and all the additional money would be supplied by the Government. However the House finally agreed to the schedule providing $50 for the wife, $50 for wife and one child, with S2O or each additional child, which had been previously agreed to by the Senate.
 In Committee I argued that diff erentials should be set up whereby the cost of living in the various areas of the country could be ade- quately met, but the Committee de- clined to recommend any such diff ferentials so that as reported and passed the bill gives the same a. i mount to each dependent wit and child regardless of the cost of ilv- ing in the several areas of the Emit ed States. On the floor I further urge dupon the members the desir- ability of adopting the Sadowski a. mendment because that would give the greatest benefits, put the House, . by very substantial vote, adhered to the Senate version which was final ly passed unanimously. (See the Congressional Record of October 14 and 18.)
 It is obvious that wife and two children in Alaska cannot possibly survive on the present allowances and allotment of $100 unless the wife can somehow secure employ ment and thus aid in their support. l As to wives without children, the problem is relatively simple because employment is abundant all over the country, but where there are children in the family it is neesscary to provide for the care of the child ren which ordinarily requires the full attention of the wife. It is pos- sible that these allowances must be supplemented by the Territorial Government and that a special ses- sion of the Legislature will be nee essary to consider the subject

KETCHIKAN- Firts official an- nouncement that Coast Guard ves- els stationed in Ketchikan had been credited with a submarine was authorized in Washington, D. C. this week, according to word re- ceived by Ketchikan district Coast Guard headquarters. The announce ment credits the YP251, former nalibuter Foremost the McLane and a Canadian plane with the sinking
 Exact location of the Coast Guard boats triumph over the sub was not given, nor was the time, but ac- companying the announcement was the first-hand story of the encount- CT as related by the skipper of the Foremost.
 The tension of men at war on small ships in rough seas, the hard ships they undergo and the feeling of hopelessness which precedes a delayed triumph are all yiYidly de- picted in the following eyewitness story of the skipper of the little converted fishing boat:
 Shippers Story
 We had been in numerous res cue episodes, but the single thought in every mans mind was to get a sub. When l left on this particular trip, I knew We would be in sub in fested waters. l mustered the crew and told them what to expect.
 The possibility of getting a sub put everyone on his toes, and every thing else became secondary. All the men wanted to become gunners. The cook did not want to cook, and the engineer, too, wanted to be a gun ner.
 "On his day, we were just off shore combing the area, the 125- footer zig-zagging through the area with us. The wind was high and the sea rough, but wind or no wind, the Foremost was going to be in at the kill. That afternoon We inter cepted a message which stated periscope had been sighted off Cape
 -about 1000 yards from the beach. Identification was said to be certain That was all we needed. We were sure it was our baby.
 Ship Rolled. Pitched
 We headed at full speed for the position. My mind was filled with plans galore. The sub had promis- ed my district captain was in the bag. The ship rolled and pitched, general quarters was sounded, life boats made ready, all hands assign ed to battle stations throughout the night We hoped that would be the time we had a sub to our credit We felt sure it would. The McLane had been notified and she joined us from the southward.
 At midnight the engine indi- cator rang at stop. My plans were punctured right there and l thought there goes our sub.' We stopped dead, wallowing and rolling. Before l could inquire, the report came the damn bilge pumps failed due. to clogging and we are taking wa ter I gave orders to clear them up,
 "The deck gang and the engineers. worked like Trojans freeing the bilge pumps of water until finally the work was completed. This took most of the night, and we listened regularly but got no sound of the sub. It was evident that if she were there, she had dropped to the sandy bottom, and the skipper was probab- ly down there thumbing his nose at us.
 Ship Damaged
 "The next day, we checked the

temporary repairs, and found that the heavy sea had caused more sey- ere damage than expected. It was necessary to enter one of the eoves to do a more permanent job.
 At midnight, we received a mes sage stating that a patrol plane had sighted a churning of water, just 40 miles from our position. They had positively identified it as a sub and had released some bombs, mak- ing a hit. The craft submerged but made considerable oil slick.
 A search for wreckage was re- quested by the plane. Our repairs were completed and the Mack was called.
 Together We started combing the area. At daybreak we were still at it, and with the choppy weather many of the men were seasick. We had been virtually standing on our heads for the past four days, but there wasn't a man among the crew who wouldn't give six months pay, as he said, to get a shot at the sub.
 Contact"
 "The fifth day at 0900 the Mack sent up the emergency signal, and l was given the report, Have a good sub contaotn She dropped a depth charge. but nothing happened We watched and waited At 0915 we felt a terrific explosion, quite close, under water My conclsuion was that the depth charge had probably landed on the deck of the sub, and rolled off the deck just before the explosion depth was reached We saw no evidence of a hit. We de- cided to leave there and return to the scene of the first contact. We were a discouraged lot. felt that I had botched the job, but we could not give up now
 When we arrived, I stopped and directed the Mack to come up a. stern. The Mack's skipper went in to the eyes of his vessel and 1 went to the fantail of the Foremost. By now the two ships were in column formation, not 30 feet apart. Sud denly I realized we were too close and I signaled the skipper to drop astern at once. Seeing the danger, he ordered his engines to be re- versed.
 Torpedo Misses
 Tt was this fortunate move on the part of the Hacks skipper that prevented a disaster. Just at that moment a cry came up from the crew. torpedo The skipper of the Mack pointed at it, following it a. cross her bow, not more than a foot away, and just in the wake of his ship, caused by the reversing of her engines. It was easily spotted as an air driven torpedo, and with wide open eyes, followed it with point ing finger as it passed on its futile mission. It was seen clearly by many of the crew
 What a silly thing for me to do, stop and drift and make such an easy target for the Japs. Live and learn, I hope.
 "The CD on the Mack and the quartermaster on watch of the Fore most spotted the periseope simul- taneously. Their skipper reported that he had made contact again, and that the signals were so loud it sounded as though his men were paint. The Foremost made a dash for the periscope while the Mack followed. Left full rudder and full speed ahead was given.
 My impatience must have both cred the chief for heard him say,

Report Gandhi
|sNear Death
Leoders Demond
His Release

NEW DELHI, Feb. 20 Up
A conference of 200 Indian po-
litical leaders decided today to
send resolutions demanding the
immediate and unconditional
release of Mohandas K. Gandhi,
Nationalist leader reported in
grave condition on this eleventh
day Of his l-day fast, to Prime
Minister Churchill and William
Phillips, U. S. ambassador to In
dia.
Tejbahadur Sapru, moderate
leader, was chairman of the con-
ference. He talked with Phillips
before the meeting opened.
Industrialists, lawyers and ed
ucators were among the men
who assembled under a mogul
style awning to call for Gandhi's
release upon which, n e / r
spokesman said, depended the
best hope for a reconciliation
between the British and Indian
peoples.
Among the group were sew
eral Britons, including Arthur
Moore. once editor of the news
paper The Statesman" who re-
signed when his sympathies with
the Indian people conflicted
with the policies of the owners.

Food
Continued from Page II

there were actual shortages in
some of the protein feeds, par
ticularly those produced from
meat scraps and fish. In the case
of others-especially those made
from soybeans and cottonseed-
the shortages were partially ar
tificial, he said.
He said many Of those who
own protein feeds or uncrushed
soy beans and cotton seed, were
holding them for possible higher
prices, believing that Congress
will force the administration to
revise farm prices upward.
This same situation was said
TO exist in the case of corn. Con-
sequently, many farmers and
others owning corn decline to
sell. Some prefer to hold for pos
sible higher prices, while others
are saving the corn for their
own future livestock needs. 1t is
worth more as hog-feed than on
the market now, because hogs
have been allowed to advance
to higher price levels, relatively
speaking, than has corn.
Until this week, the Agricul-
ture Department was in a posi-
ton to plug up some of the feed
shortages from its own stocks Of
wheat. Congress, after a bitter
fight with the administration,
last July granted the Depart
ment authority to sell 25,000,-
600 bushels of government-own-
ed wheat for feed at prices COM
petitive with corn.
The $4,000, O00-busnel stock
ran out last week. Now the feed
or can no longer turn to the
Government for supplies.
Secretary Wickard yesterday
asked Congress to allow him to
sell 100000, 900 additional BUSH
els Of wheat at feed grain prices,
but members of the Farm Bloc,
insisting that such prices tended
to hold both wheat and corn at
levels below those to which.
growers of the two crops are en-
titled, announced plans to op-
pose the request.
