III the Associated Press.


LONDON, April 19.--An American
Air Forces oficer who was engaged
in last summers Sicilian campaign
said today that in paratroop op-
Grafton on July IA, 1943, the Allies
"lost eight or nine planes from all
causes" and the evidence indicated
these planes were lost over Sicily
itself and not over the sea.
1t was possible. he added, that
some of these might have been fired
on In the darkness by Allied ground
forces.
This disclosure was made In COM
ment on report just published in
the United States that Allied naval
gunners had shot down 21 more
troop-carrying planes three days
after the incident of Gela, on the
Southern Sicilian coast, In which
1t has been officially announced 23
American troopcarriers were lost
with 40 men.
The officer said the report that
the Americans had lost 81 planes in
the July Il operation was untrue.
Ofdcers at American Air Force
headquarters who were In charge OF
air operations In Sicily said they
had no evidence that the Allied
navy had shot down any paratroor
planes in operations after the July
II incident, in which the American
planes were destroyed as they new
over q convoy at the same time that
q German air attack was going on
Drew Pearson said In his Wash
ington column published today that
"after losing % transport planes
with 400 men August II, we lost q
second wave OF 81 planes with almost
400 three days later-also shot down
by Allied naval gunners. On Au-
gust IA, 81 planes, bringing para.
troopers to aid the British at Ca
tania, were shot down by naval
gunners-probably both on United
States and British ships. A COM
mittee was appointed In North
Africa and an investigation was con-
Quoted. The findings so far have
been secret"
Actually, the loss Of 23 planes
occurred July II and not August IL
Paul Kern Lee, Associated Press
correspondent who was attached to
the British fleet at the time Of the
Sicilian operation, said that to the
best Of his knowledge there was nc
such incident in the Catania area.

By the Associated Press.

By the ASSOCIATED Press.
NEW YORK, April 19.-For the
first time In the long history of the
Telephone 81 Telegraph
Co. its stockholders win be called
upon to decide whether to allow
some 10000 of It's employees who own
stock in the company to be repre-
sented In the management through
a labor union.
Henry Mayer, attorney for one Of
the Bell System labor groups, the
United Telephone Organizations,
announced he and four union lead
ers, Charles H.. Parsons, Theodore
Dunham, Joseph F. Broderick and
Thomas J. Tully, would attend the
annual meeting armed with proxies
representing 5000 shares Of stock
and present q program designed to
secure broader representation Of
labor In the affairs Of the company.
There are about 1880, 900 shares Of
stock outstanding and latest COM
pany records show about 10000
employees In the network Of COM
panies making up the Bell System.
Limited to Area So Far.
The labor group, Attorney Mayer
said, had 10000 members, employees
of the downstate plant department
of the New York Telephone Co., a
principal unit in the system, and
the drive for proxies was confined
to the New Yorw metropolitan area.
He added, however, that there were
almost 100 labor organizations in
the Bell System and "the potential
tiles for garnering proxies are i'm
measurable"
The group will seek representation
on the Nominating Committee, put
up its own slate of directors, seek q
change in the pension plan and op-
pose sale Of the company's teletype-
writer and leased wire business to
Western Union.
A statement by the group said the
step was "a new adventure in labor
management relationship" regarded
as logical In view Of the large num-
ber Of telephone workers that own

There Is no danger that employees
may take over or control the board, .

which had been worn by DR.. Dun's

The great traditional ordination
hymn from the ninth century

head Of the bishop-elect. He was
Joined by the co-consecrators, and
other participating bishops, who
formed a ring about the kneeling
candidate.
In addition to the three consecra-
tors and the Archbishop of York
the ceremony was participated in by
Bishops Hobson, Peabody, Lawrence
Powell, Gilbert and Scarlet.
; There was a breathless silence
The congregation, all standing, lis
tered closely to the words of the
presiding bishop as he pronounced
among others the vital words:
Receive the Holy Ghost for the
Office and work of a bishop in the
church of God, now committed
unto thee by the imposition of ou1
hands: in the name of the Father
and OF the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. Amen"
