Murray Calls Handling
OF Rationing and Price
Control Disgrace
Many Foods UnobtoinobIe
Because of Artificial
Shortages, He Says

ny Ire ASSOCIATED PreSs.
Price control and rationing as now
operated are "a national disgrace"
President Philip Murray Of the CIO
declared yesterday.
Calling for immediate rationing of
all foods and necessities, Mr.. Murray
said:
prices Of food commodities have
risen at rapid rate. From bitter
experience the wage earners know
that there is very little, If any, effec-
tive enforcement of price ceilings
Black markets are rapidly develop
ing.
"The families of wage earners are
finding it impossible to buy many
foods because Of artificial shortages
and boarding. Workers in many
areas and industries cannot buy
enough food or assure other needs
to keep up their health and efficiency
levels. The situation Is a national
disgrace and one that cannot be
tolerated. Total mobilization of the
resources of our Nation for au-out
war Is thus threatened"
Mr.. Murray made his observations
in the legislative program of the CIO
for 1943. He urged a single admins
trative body Incorporating war sup
ply, manpower and economic stabil-
ization. The CIO chief also expressed
opposition to "so-called national
service legislation or to attacks on
statutory and contract provisions for
adequate payment of work done be-
yond 40 hours In one week" Any
such approach, he said, destroys
morale and productive efficiency.
He also urged Congress to reject
any request for continuance of the
Dies Committee.

dicted that his nomination would be
confirmed promptly.
The retiring Senator was reported
at the time to have been reluctant
to take over the "hot spot" of war
time administrative jobs, but to
have been persuaded by the Presi-
dent.
Despite his quiet manner and
lack of oratorical flourish, Mr..
Brown showed plenty of frmness
during his six years in the Senate,
and, though he was strong ad-
ministration supporter, he broke
with the President on several is
sues, notably the Supreme Court
bill. His friends describe him as a
square shooting, determined in
dividual who can say no as readily
as yes, and who is admired by poll
tical opponents as well as members
of his own party, because he re-

NEWCASTLE ON TYNE, Eng

lister Herbert Morrison, citing neu-

Mr.. Morrison suggested that "the

society of nations as whole" ac-
cording to text of his speech re-
leased in New York by the British
Information Service.
THE colonial record has had
blots and blemishes ." the Min
lister said. "but no one can explain
the progress that has taken place
since the commencement of the

of self-government, and to India,
which after the war can have full
self-government for the taking"

Gun crews on both the ships

effective fire. At the same time the
Spencer rang up full speed and
headed for the U-boat prepared to
ram. -- .

ahead through the calm seas. men,
bers of her crew took stations on

the American ships with the light

Fire From Sub Ceases.
Round after round was pumped
into the undersea raider, and the
after part of the coming tower was
completely torn away. Then, just as
the Spencer was on the point of
ramming, the fire from the sub
marine suddenly ceased, and many
members of her crew were observed
abandoning ship through the con-
ming tower.
The cutter turned aside and
waited, ready to resume the assault;
but the battle was over. The
U-boats propellers stopped, she
dropped lower in the water, then
rapidly plummeted down.
"Circling, the Spencer picked up
more than 40 submarine crew men,
bers who were floating in the water,
supported by RATS and life belts.
Locating the U-boats survivors was
not difficult some were on RATS,
the others adrift, but all of them
safely supported by their escape
lungs which were used as life belts.
Nevertheless, as they awaited
rescue, they acted in a very hys-
terical manner. shouting and waving
arms so frantically that no doubt
was left as to their existence and
location. The sea was smooth, there
was a moderate breeze and condi-
tions were generally fair No doubt
the depth charges and heavy gun
fire had unnerved them; several
were still hysterical on coming
aboard. All prisoners were impressed
by the deadliness of the depth
charges. Several threw up their
hands and exclaimed, 'Wasserbombs;

Jap Incendiory Bomb Fired
Oregon Forest, Lookout Says
PIune Launched
From Enemy Sub,
&. Senate Group Hears

BY the Associated Press.
The public learned today of the
enemy's fifth futile attack on the
West Coast, a sneak .incendiary raid
by lone airplane more than eight
months ago.
Believed launched from a Japa-
nese submarine last September %,
the plane flew over the Oregon coast
in early-morning fog so dense a
Forest Service lookout was unable
to see the ship, although it droned
directly by his tower on a noun
tain near Port Oxford.
The lookout, Lauren S. Giebner.
followed the sound of the motor as
it moved northeastward. He heard
a blast and saw flash, as if a
bomb had been dropped.
Mr.. Giebner reported to forest
headquarters and watched sharply
for the fire. When the fog lifted
two hours later he spotted it in a
heavily -timbered canyon miles
away.
! A crew OF fire fighters hiked two
hours over rugged mountains to
reach the blaze and bring it under
control.
This was the second reported in
cendiary attempt on the forests in
the isolated southwestern corner of
Oregon. The Army previously an
nounced small plane flew in from
the sea near Brookings last Septem-
ber and dropped two bombs. This
plane also was spotted by lookout
and the fires controlled quickly.
Japanese markings we're found on
fragments of the incendiary bombs
The Army held up Mr.. Giebner's
story of the Port Oxford raid for
military reasons until Chief Forester
Lyle F.. Watts, asking additional
funds for protection of the forests,
disclosed the attack in testimony
before a Senate Appropriations Sub
committee.
The previously disclosed raids, all
shellings by enemy submarines last
year. were as proftless as the air
attacks. The first was February %
when shells plopped harmlessly
around an oil refinery at Goleta
Calf. Then on June 20 shells fell
wide of the Estevan Point Light
house on Vancouver Island. and on

Heavy Bombers Blast
Lac and Wewak for
Week Uncha||enged
1872 Tons Of Bombs
Dropped on Jops'
New Guinea Base
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
AUSTRALIA. June 2.-Flying For
tresses and Liberators have loosed
1872 tons of bombs within less than
a week on Lac and Wewak, New
Guinea, without being challenged by
a single japanese plane.
Yesterday Liberators struck I'M
escorted in daylight at the enemy's
airdrome base of Lac to drop 36 tons
and met opposition only from Jap
anese antiaircraft guns. Back in
the days when Laes airdrome served
as the take-off point for aerial ferry
service over the mountains to New
Guinea's gold fields to the southeast,
visitors pointed with awe at huge
planes which could carry machinery
and passengers aggregating 81 tons.
Within the week, 100 tons of ex-
plosive, incendiary and fragmenta-
tion bombs have fallen on that air
drome in three raids by Allied
planes. Lac is on the Huon Gulf, IS
miles away from the ground battle
front at Mubo.
Above it, 325 miles northwest, is
Lae's supply base of Wewak. Within
the week 80 tons of bombs have been
dropped in two raids on Wewak.
What happened yesterday just
above Lac at Finschhafen, when is
Zeros jumped a single Flying Fort
ress, may supply the tip as to why
the japanese are hesitant to chal-
lenge the bombers which come in
force. From 200 feet up to $4,000
feet that giant of the skies fought it
out with the swarm of interceptors.
Three of the crew were wounded.
One of its engines was shot out.
Two others we're hit.
Still 1t refused to 60 down. Four
Zeros were sent burning and spin
ming into the sea. A fifth crashed
In trees along the shore. A sixth
went into steep dive and may have
suffered the fate of the other five.
But the bomber, although badly
shot up, limped back to its base
after the other Zeros fled.
