Navy PIT boats yesterday rescued
% American soldiers from a fishing
boat on which they had fed with
73 Spaniards and Filipino guer-
rillas after being surrounded by
japanese.
The rescued soldiers told the PIT
officers they had been sent on
reconnaissance patrol deep into
enemy territory on Leyte. Japanese
they bypassed closed in behind, cut
ting them off. They estimated they
were surrounded by 1,500 Japanese.
The trapped soldiers ran out of
ammunition, food and water after a
week in the mountains. Their radio
set was broken.
Finally they made their way to
the coast, their only avenue of
escape the sea. There they en-
countered the Spaniards and guer-
rillas who took them aboard the
70-foot fishing boat.
The crowded little craft was only
800 yards off the Japanese-held
shore when 1t was sighted by the
PIT boats.

ably, will ask President Roosevelt to

orders. Some $4,000 is involved in
the dispute over the retroactive date,
they said.
In Washington, however, WLB OF =

wage action still falls short of the
boards compliance order.
For one thing, the WLB ordered
retroactive pay from December 7,
1912. compared with the company's
intention of putting retroactive pay
into effect as of September /, 1943
On that basis the employees would

Red Cross Explains
European Mail DELAY

Transportation problems and Sc
curity regulations are responsible for
the delay in mail from men and
women in the fighting services, par
ticularly on the western front, the
Red Cross says.
District chapter officials said they
have had numerous inquiries about
the delays and added the condition
should be accepted as part of the
accelerated war activity.
The home service of the Red
Cross is located in the basement OF
the Corcoran Art Gallery, Seven
teenth and E streets NV, where
from 5000 to 1000 telephone calls
are handled each month. These
calls deal with everything from in
quiries about emergency furloughs
to questions about relatives and
friends in the service from whom
correspondence has not been re-
ceived with regularity.
The home service also has a staff

Senator Pepper added.
Senator Hill. Democrat, of Ala

Earlier, Senator Pepper urged a
resolution which would postpone ac-

In his statement last night, Mr..
Avery said once more that WLB or

enforceable"
"The board knows very WELL" he
said, that the real issue arises
from its attempt to impose upon
Wards closed shop in the form Of
maintenance of membership, to-
gether with the checkoff of union
dues from wages. Wards has re-
fused to agree to any form Of closed
shop, or compulsory union mem
bership, because the closed shop vio-
lates the American principles of
liberty and freedom"
Last spring, Wards big Chicago
plant was taken over by the Com
merce Department when Mr.. Avery
refused to meet the terms and con-
