By J. A. FOX.

Municipal Judge Nathan r.

Justice Edward C. Eicher, it was
reported reliably today.
The prospective appointee will not.
however, get the chief justiceship,

President Roosevelt, it is thought,

Capt. Gallagher told this story of
the torpedoing:
The transport he was aboard was
one of convoy of seven which were

trolled the area in small boats.
Others were cut down by saber-
welding japanese, who resorted to
knives when their wet guns would
not fire.
Those who managed to reach the
shore of Mindanao, 2 miles away,
were slaughtered by Japanese ma
chine gunners the next day. Eighty
three eventually were aided by Fill
pino guerrillas, but one died later Of
his wounds An American subma-
rine rescued the survivors and took
them to New Guinea and Australia.
The captain said American pris-
.oners OF the japanese "who lasted

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The bloody
massacre by the Japanese of hun
dreds of weakened American service
men, struggling in the ocean after
the transport on which they had
been imprisoned was sunk, was de-
scribed yesterday by one Of the sur
vivors of the ordeal, Capt. Fred j.
Gallagher Of Tucson, Ariz
Only 81 Americans Of the 750
aboard the transport survived, Capt.
Gallagher said at an interview, after
he and two other survivors were in
troduced at the convention Of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers.
Five hundred prisoners were
jammed into a hold measuring SO
by 40 feet, when the trip began last
August 10. Capt. Gallagher said.
I'VE were naked, and the first
three days we exhausted all the
moisture In our bodies and couldn't
perspire, Z he said Tt was hell to be
in that trap"
For 19 days the prisoners were so
crowded that q man had to stand
up to permit the man behind him
to stretch his legs, the captain con-
tinued Those are the kind Of times
when men get religion, and lose it,
At one time, 140 men who had lost
consciousness were removed from the
hold, he declared, adding. 'They

The full force of propaganda

bat manpower shortages as new
calls came from the Army for
vitality needed winter equipment
Chairman Mead of the Senate
War Investigating Committee told
reporters that voluntary methods
including appeals to public patriot
ism, will meet current needs for war
workers.
Clothing and blankets were added
meanwhile, to list of war materials
needed as quickly as possible. War
Production Board sources revealed
that big increase in heavy over
coass, battle jackets, uniforms
heavy trousers and blankets is
sought promptly by the Army.
Will Report on Wasteage.
Saying he based his belief on
testimony of Army Service Forces,
WPB and manpower officials, SEN
ator Mead declared:
"A closer coordination of Army
and Navy procurement, a more
efficient utilization of workers al
ready in plants and Nationwide re-
cruiting by organized labor will pro-
cure the men and women needed"
Senator Mead said his committee
will issue report soon on Army
and Navy surplus property accumu-
lations which will point out some
of the answers to the wasteage of
and materials"
Charles M. Hay, deputy manpower
agreed with Senator Fer
guson, Republican, of Michigan yes
terday that propaganda" is the
chief weapon for en-
forcing its DEGREES against workers
leaving war plants and limiting civ
ilian industry's manpower quotas.
Must Impress Public.
In my humble opinion" Mr.. Hay
said, the principal thing needed
and it is an imperative needs a
sense of the urgency upon
the part of the people respecting
war needs"
Reports last summer speculating
over prospects for an early end of
the war, he said, were reflected in
war plants where many workers left
to seek peacetime jobs.
IF people can be persuaded now
as to the urgent need for their
services, the people will respond to
the urgency" he said.
Mr.. Hay added that while he
would welcome early legislation
penalizing civilian plants which hire
workers in excess of manpower COM
quotas. he thinks the
problem can be solved without it.

CHUNGKING, Dec. 9.-Generalis-
simo Chang Kai-shek has agreed in
principle to the participation of the
Communists in the national govern
ment and in the direction of China S
military affairs, it was authorita-
lively reported today.
This agreement, following recent
government changes - particularly
the appointment of Foreign Minister
T. V. Soong to the additional post of
Acting Premier-is the most impor-
tant development which could have
occurred in the present critical phase
of Chinese history.
The Communists, it is believed, If
properly equipped, would be able to
launch successful diversionary Of
fensives in North China.
1t was expected here that Gen.
Chou En-lai, Communist delegate,
who recently returned to Yenan
from Chungking, would be back
shortly for implementation of any
conclusive understanding that may
be reached.
The Communists originally sought
. formal agreement for the estab-

Security Tax Freeze
Is Sent 10 President:
Congress Waits Action
Lawmakers Moy Take
Only Short Recess in
Foce of Expected Veto

By the Associated Press.
With fingers crossed, Congress
looked hopefully to the White
House today for speedy action on
a controversial bill freezing the
social security payroll tax at /
per cent.
If President Roosevelt vetoes the
measure in the face of humping
Senate and House ma ajorities, legis-
lators hope he'll do it without undue
delay so they can vote on over
riding and still get home fol-
Christmas.
After the bill reaches his desk
the President has 10 days in which
to sign or veto it, not counting
Sundays. If he fails to act within
that limit, the bill becomes law
provided Congress hasn't adjourned
In that case he could kill it, if he
SAioSCf ny uouIS Unwilling.
Lawmakers who want to prevent
an otherwise automatic doubling
of the tax on January / are pre-
pared if necessary, to recess over
Christmas and come back just be-
fore the new session begins Janu-
ary 3.
A two-thirds vote is required to
override veto. The Senate ran up
considerably better than that ratio
yesterday when it approved the
measure, Al to 10. The House vote
was even larger-262 to 70 on last
Mondays roll call
The doubled rates on employ
ers and employees were scheduled
to start January l, 1912, but thrice
Congress has halted the increase.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, leader in the fight to
freeze the levy again, told the Sem
ate yesterday the rise is not needed
to protect the integrity of the re-
serve fund from which old-age and
survivors benefits are paid. The
fund now holds nearly $4,000, 900 900
and the current levy is bringing in
more than 0,000,000 a month.
Benefit payments in the last fiscal
year were $184, 500 900.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of
New York, frequently called the
father of the social security law,
argued vainly against the freeze
yesterday He thinks the fund should
be built up in preparation for the
time when millions will be on the
benefit list. Further, he declared,
"a continued freeze of the contribu-
tions may seriously impair the finan-
cial soundness of our contributory
system of social insurance"
Other Senators suggested that Mr..
Roosevelt may allow the bill to be-
come law without his signature, per-
mitting the next Congress to study
the question of broadened coverage,
higher benefits and larger contribu-
tionS.

City College in 1919 -Four years
later he was graduated in law at
Harvard
He taught law at Harvard, was an
assistant United States attorney for
the Southern District of New York
and special counsel to the New York
Transit Commission in the scent
fare battle. From 1880 to 1888 he
was counsel for the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, and within the same
period made complete study of
the subject Of Indian claims against
the Government for the Institute
for Government Research.
Appointed solicitor at the Interior
Department in March, 1888, Judge
Margold. in the early days of the
New Deal, also was chairman of the
Petroleum Administrative Board
and of the Labor Policy Board for
the petroleum industry.
Went on Bench in 1942.
When Municipal Court was reor-
ganized in July, 1912, by the consoli-
dation, of Police and Municipal
Courts, Judge Margold was one of
the appointees to the reconstructed
court. He recalls with satisfaction
that his first assignment was to the
criminal jury branch, where the
docket was badly in arrears, and
that within five or six months the
work was current.
In the World War, Judge Margold
was in the Student Army Training
Corps, and he is a member of the
American Legion. He also is MEM
ber of the Harvard Club. He and
Mrs. Margold have an infant son.
The family home is at 1864 Newark
street NV.
The promotion to the chief JUS
ticeship of either Justice Proctor or
Justice Laws would put a native
Washingtonian at the head of Dis
trict Court.
Justice Proctor is the senior. A
Republican, he was appointed to the
bench by President Hoover, and
took Office on March 8, 1881. Justice
Proctor literally is product of the
local courts. He entered the district
attorneys Office as a clerk, and in
1910, at the age of %, had advanced
to principal assistant.
Starting private practice, he was
the head of his own law Arm when
the World War broke out. Winning
a commission at Fort Myer training
camp, he saw service with the Amer
lean Expeditionary Force and ulti.
mately was advanced to the rank of
major.
He served as special assistant to
the Attorney General after the war.
Deliberate on the bench, Justice
Proctor is highly regarded by the
legal fraternity.
Justice Laws, lifelong Demo-
crat. was named to District Court
by President Roosevelt in 1888. The
appointment came under rather un-
usual circumstances. A group of
prominent lawyers made recon-
|mendations for the judgeship to the
Justice Department, but Judge Laws
declined to permit his name to be
submitted, as he was at the time
president of the District Bar Assoc
citation and felt that efforts on his
behalf might be misinterpreted.
Nevertheless, he was given the place.
In his six years on the bench JUS
tice Laws has won wide recognition
in the Federal judiciary for his use
OF and advocacy of pretrial proceed
lure to facilitate the disposition Of
law suits. He is So.
