Collection Of Tin Cans
Scheduled Tomorrow

Postponed last week because of
Thanksgiving, the monthly collec-
ton of tin cans from apartment
houses in the city will be made to-
morrow, and District Salvage Com
mittee officials hope it will be a
record breaker.
Christian Heurich. jr., chairman
of the Commercial Tin Salvage Com
mittee, has urged all apartment
house janitors and managers to
make a special effort to save and
salvage all cans which they have
been throwing on trash heaps and
into incinerators. The success of
the campaign in Washington de-
pends greatly on the response of
these people, Mr.. Heurich said.
Letters directed to all apartment
owners and agents by the committee
resulted in a so per cent increase in
collections last month, and tomor-
row it is hoped another sizable gain
will be made.
Apartments are requested to have
their contributions to the tin supply
ready for collection not later than
$50 am. tomorrow Trucks in the
service of the bottling industry have
been loaned for collecting.

Jap Beer Bottles Used
To Hit Toxic Express
Cited Flyer Relates

How empty Jap beer bottles. in
lieu OF other ammunition, were
thrown by crews of United States
naval scouting seaplanes at the ships
of the Toxic Express" coming down
to reinforce Guadalcanal was re-
vealed yesterday in a citation cere-
mony at the Navy Department. Vice
Admiral John S. Mccain, head of
naval aviation, presented a copy of
the presidential citation awarded
the 1st Marine Division to 1t. George
w. Polk, U. S. N. R., 440O Volta
place NV.
1t. Polk and IA other naval avia-
ton officers are on the roster Of

Five OF them are listed as killed

1t. Polk is in Washington for
continuing treatments of his malaria
and wounds at the Naval Hospital
He is former rewrite man on the
New York Herald Tribune.
In accepting the citation, 1t. Polk
told this story:
The Jap ships came down the
slot every night when the moon
waned. We had group of torpedo
boats which were going after the
Express but there were not enough
of the PTS to patrol the large area.
I'VE had our Is scout seaplanes,
but independently they were of little
offensive use. Their top speed was
ITO miles an hour, their armament
was two 80 caliber guns
so We got together with the PIT
boys and formed team. On the
spot we devised our own signals for
teamwork, our own system of CO.
ordinated attack
Radioed Japs' Position.
The planes would go out and find
the Express coming down the slot.
We would Immediately radio the PTS
the position of the Jap ships. Then
we attacked.
We couldn't carry bombs, so all
we could do was skim low over their
decks and strafe them. We had one
other weapon-Japanese empty beer
bottles left behind when we took the
islands. We tossed them down on
the Express Our object was to get
the enemy to open up on us so they
would reveal themselves by their
gun flashes.
Then the PIT boats, which had
been lying in ambush, would cut
loose with their torpedoes. The PIT
boys hit several destroyers and at
least one cruiser. damaging all Sc

Promotion Rule
On Prisoners
Hit by Chavez
Senator Criticizes
Army Letter Refusing
Coptives Same Status

Senator Chavez, Democrat, OF
New Mexico today denounced the
War Department for a letter to the
Senate Military Affairs Committee,
which, he said, implied that some of
the American troops in the Philip
pines, at Wake and Guam sur
rendered too soon.
Appearing at committee hearing
in support of his bill to make the
officers and men who were taken
prisoners by the japanese at those
three Pacific outposts eligible for
regular promotion, Senator Chavez
said he resented the following para
graph from the War Departments
report against the bill:
I'm the case of captured personnel,
there is no way to distinguish be-
tween those men who, by virtue of
having fought to the last, might be
deserving of a reward in the form
of promotion and those who sur
rendered in circumstances under
which they might reasonably have
been expected to continue to resist.
The general effect of promoting such
personnel would be to establish a
reward for becoming a prisoner. To
promote both types of individuals
without discrimination might result
in a very unhealthy morale reaction,
especially in prison camps where in
dividuals of the former class happen
to be interned with individuals of
the latter class and have knowledge
Of circumstances under which they
surrendered.
Although the letter came from
Secretary of War Stimson, Senator
Chavez said he doubted whether the
Secretary would have signed such
a letter If he had read it.
Making no effort to conceal his
feelings, Senator Chavez said he
resented the intimation that at
Wake, Guam or the Philippines
there were any yellow bellies"
Our boys from New Mexico were
in the Philippines, and they quit
only when Gen. Jonathan M
Wainwright quit" Senator Chavez
continued.
Senator Chavez said he knew,
and everybody else knows why
they quit-because they didn't have
the wherewithal to 60 on fighting"
Senator Chavez said he could
understand the Navy Departments S
letter, stating its general opposition
to the bill but that he could not
comprehend that portion of the
War Departments letter which he
read

Randolph Will Seek
House Action Soon
On D. T.. Boundaries
Stefan Objects to Bill
Declaring Airport Should
Be in Capital Area

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee said today he
plans to call soon for House action
on his bill to settle the District
Virginia boundary issue-a measure
now taken out of the "noncontro-
versial' category.
The bill would fix as the boundary
the present high-water mark on the
Virginia shore of the Potomac in
stead of the 1871 mark, which now
runs inland. 1t was scheduled for
action yesterday, but two House
members objected and the bill was
withdrawn. Democrat and Republi-
can leaders had agreed no contro-
lversial legislation would be consid-
cred in the House this week.
Representative Stefan, Republican
OF Nebraska, who interposed an OBJ
lection, declared the Washington
National Airport should be consid-
cred part of the District, not Vir-
ginia.
There is vital interest to the
Nation as we'll as to the District in
volved in this BILL said Mr.. Stefan.
1T changes the boundaries of a
State as well as of the National
Capital.
Such change should not be
made without full consideration of
the question of the tax revenues
involved. Then there is the consti-
tutlonal question of a retrocession of
National Capital territory to the
State.
Il realize the trouble being en-
countered as to policing the disputed
area, but 1 must say am opposed to
this plan. Certainly, we should not
act on such vital measure with
but handful of members on the
House floor"
Objection also was made by Rep
resentattve Case, Republican of
South Dakota, who emphasized there
was a revenue question entailed in
the proposed boundary change.
The bill as now drawn had the
support Of the District Commission
Iers, Attorney General Biddle, the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and Virginia authori-
ties. The State Legislature already
has approved an enabling act.
