ed his encounter to this writer thus.
In general I was not particularly
scared, but I sure was afraid when
my wingmate left me when he
sighted the Zeros, because his ma
neuvering was hampered. Mai.
George of Cleveland and 1t. Dunber
were chasing one of three Zeros with
two others on their tail shooting at
them. Il went for these two and
one saw me, split-essed out and
came around behind me, making
quite a procession.
Il looked over my shoulder and
saw him, but the middle one was
gaining on the major and I had to
keep after him. Suddenly my plane
shuddered and the left wing began
smoking. I pulled away and found
myself only so feet away from the
second Zero and got a burst directly
in the cockpit. at least 200 rounds
total, from all the guns. His canopy
flew off and tore away his tail. Be
ing af1re, I pulled up the throttle
and feathered the prop. Three more
Zeros came on my tail. That was
when 1t. William Hency (of Los An
geles) saved me. I saw a cloud
around the mountain and, taking
chance, plunged in.

to try to make our field and some

engine and found that the black
smoke had been gasoline burning
inside the engine. I had two 20

1t. Kenneth Sparks of Blackwell,
Okla, today tied Capt. Tommy
Lynch Of Pittsburgh as high scorer
for New Guinea by getting his eighth
and ninth Zeros in the battle over
the coast between Lac and Finsch-
hafen. Sparks told me:
Il was playing Tailend Charlie for
the formation when I saw four Zeros
coming up from Lac for attack. I
led my element around cloud but
lost them. Then. while the Zeros
ducked over and below the clouds,
made five passes in all, I got one
before our P-38's came back, right
in the fuselage and raked him in
the back till he fell smoking freely
and crashed in the mountains. I
crept up on another the same way.
The thing that's disagreeable about
Zeros is they never fly in straight
line for more than five seconds.
They're nobodys fools and very
evasive'

bvrnes Committee S
Manpower Report
Is Expected Soon
Five-Mon Group Named
By President Hos Studied
Problem for 10 Days
By JESSE O. IRWIN.

For the third time in 10
months, President Roosevelt is
reported planning a drastic
change in the administra tion's
policy regarding the Nations
manpower needs, it was learned
today.
Apparently recognizing the grow
ing opposition in Congress to the
way the operating machinery is now
being handled, the President has
ordered an investigation and prob
ably within few days will receive
report from a special five-member
committee.
This group, according to sources
close to the White House, has for
the last 10 days been quietly delving
into and sitting data in order to
give the President a complete pic
ture OF the complex problem.
McNutt Expected to Remain.
While admitting knowledge of an
investigation, friends of Manpower
Chairman Paul c. McNutt are con-
f1dent he will remain at the helm
1
visable to change the cogs In the
operating machinery.
From authoritative sources it was
learned that some members of the
special committee are not favorably
inclined to keeping Mr.. McNutt in
Office and are reported to be ready
to suggest to the President the
names OF several men as possible
successors.
The committee is composed of
Economic Sterilization Director
James F. Byrnes, Special Assistant
to the President Harry L. Hopkins,
World War Industries Board Direc-
tor Bernard M. Baruch, Justice
Samuel I. Rosenman of the New
York Supreme Court, long a presi-
Dental adviser, and Admiral Will
liam D. Leahy, chief of staff to the
Commander in Chief.
White House sources emphatically
denied report that the President
has appointed this group to act as
a so-calied war cabinet"
They explained that about 10 days
ago Mr.. Roosevelt decided to set
up a committee to determine the
exact size of the Nations labor
force and the war manpower needs
and to suggest several possible meth
ods of meeting these needs.
The group has been meeting in
Mr.. Byrnes' Office and the economic
sterilization director has been acting
as chairman. Other than farm
manpower needs, no phase OF the
food problem is under investigation
by the committee, it was said.

Snap beans-The Lake Okeecho-
bee area is being replanted rapidly
to replace frost damage, but 1t will

South Florida will bear in March,
but supplies will be light
Eggplant and peppers - Pepper
movement has declined 50 per cent
due to frost damage, although light
supplies will continue to be avail
able in the Pompano marketing
area. Eggplant frost damage in
lower East Coast section amounted
to 30 or 80 per cent of the leaf
crops. Demand has been strong and
young paintings seemed to benefit
from the cold weather.
Yield of Peas in May.
Green peas-Supplies will be neg
ligible until May, when the small
North Florida acreage will come into
bearing.
Potatoes-About 80 per cent of
the South Florida crop was made
when the freeze arrived, but the
North Florida acreage was cut to
the ground for the second time by
heavy frost February %.
Strawberries Plants put on a
heavy bloom after freezing weather
and pickings should be heavy the
last of this month.
Tomatoes-All FROST damaged fields
have been reset. Although a large
portion Of the main winter crop
was severely damaged, growers have
been picking heavily on the produc-
ing acreage. Movement will drop
sharply this week after salvage pick
ings are finished.
