Beheaded U.S.. Flyer S
Identification Kept
Secret 10 Spare Kin

Positive identification Of the Allied
airman, whose beheading was dis
closed in the diary of a captured
Japanese soldier. is being withheld
to save the feelings of the victims
family, according to an Associated
Press dispatch from Allied head
quarters in the Southwest Pacific.
Officially, the airman is described
only as Allied" but it was recalled
here today that the censor had
cleared story which said the 23-
year-old airman was an American.
The flyer, member of the crew of
a Douglas plane belonging to the
Air Transport Command in New
Guinea, was executed according to
the "Samurai code" after his ship
was shot down near Salamua. New
Guinea, on March 18, according to
the entry in the diary.
Lack of Civilization.
At his news conference yesterday
President Roosevelt said the act
shows Japan's lack of civilization
and State Department officials de-
Clared those responsible would be
brought to account after the war.
thus repeating the warning sent to
Toxic last April II when it became
known that some of the American
flyers who fell into japanese hands
after the bombing of Toxic had been
executed.
The President also told reporters
that the Japanese retreat from the
central SolomonS demonstrates
their weakness in the whole Solo
mons-New Guinea area. and that he
believed too little significance has
been attached at home to the blows
being struck in the Pacific.
Barge Sinkings Cited.
The enemy retreat, he said. was in
line with the evacuation of Kiska in
that it marked a withdrawal rather
than fight to the death as was
japanese policy earlier AS such, he
added, it was new blow to jap
anese prestige and claims of in
vincibility.
American aviators have been de-
stroying enemy barges day after
day, he said, until great numbers
have been sunk. CPress dispatches
have reported the sinking of more
than l00l
These barges, Mr.. Roosevelt add
ed, are the sole means the japanese
have for large scale movement from
island to island in that area and
tn cir destruction
greatly hampers the enemy's free
dom to make offensive or defensive
moves. Some escort craft also have
been sunk, he said.

persons drowned when boat cap

BUFFALO,. N. Y. Oct. 6.-CIO
President Philip Murray today urged
the CIO United Automobile Workers
to demand that "in accordance with

Congress has not complied with
its commitments to the people under
the Economic Sterilization Act" he
told the convention The act has
not been administered in accordance
with its provisions and, as a result,
living costs have scared. No definite
effort of any nature calculeted to
make the act effective has been ap-
piled by any administrative agencies
in Washington"
Mr.. Murray declared that in re-
cent months labor, despite it's spirit
of complete self-sacrifice, despite its
Willingness to throw its economic
weapons behind the kitchen door

He recommended mobilization and
thorough utilization of manpower
under voluntary system, not

act. and said meeting of labor

Federation of Labor and the rail-
road brotherhoods, is essential and
