Moy Make Coins Out Of Old Bullet Shells

Boston, Dec. IA = (UP) Coins jingling in shoppers pockets today may be reconstructed bullet shells. according to Col. H. B. Sheets of the Boston ordnance district.
 Col. Sheets disclosed that there now are five plants in the nation, called popping plants" because of the noise made by explosions of un- burned powder, where fired shells are salvaged. The popping plant at Blue Grass Ordnance Depot, Richmond, Ky, already has made several shipments of salvaged metal to the United States Treasury, Bur- eau of the Mint in Philadelphia, where it is made into coins, sheets said.
 During World War I, few car. fridge cases were saved. But to- day, millions of pounds of fired shells are being handled at q single plant.

Warmer Weather
 Predicted For East
By United Press


 Warmer weather was in the off, ing today for all areas east of the Rockies except the deep south, where freezing tempertarues will continue as far south as Georiga and Alaabma.
 Temperatures in the west, which dropped to zero and below during the night, were expected to climb to the 30 degree mark today, but only a slight rise was forecast for the midwest and eastern areas.
 The federal weather bureau at Chicago reported no storms of any consequence, with the exception of q freak storm at Gary, Ind, which blanketed the city with nine inches of snow yesterday, tying up rail adn highway traffic

the northern end of the Japanese empire.
 Present were It. Gen. Delos c. Emmons, commander of the Alaskan theater, It. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, former commander, and Vice Admiral Frank J. Fletcher, commander of the North Pacific fleet, which recently bombarded Matsuwa in the Kurile Islands north of the Japanese mainland.
 Brig. Gen. Haywood Shepard Han- sell, Jr., commander of the 21St bomber command at Saipan, told newsmen that superfortresSes scored many direct hits on the primary tar- get area at Nagoya, the Hatsudoki plant of the Mitsubishi Aircraft ! Works.
 After a cursory personal survey of all elements participating in the attack, can definitely say that the mission was a success" Hansell said. Damage is quite extensive. However, am not prepared to ap- praise damage until I have exam ined the photographs"
 Participating airmen told United Press War Correspondent Mac R. Johnson at Saipan that they could see smoke and fires for 100 miles as they flew back toward their bases.
 Johnson said the attack was the greatest of the five so far mounted in strength against Honshu, the main Japanese home island, con- firming earlier estimates that more than 100 of the big four-engined raiders participated. The other four heavy attacks on Honshu were directed against Tokyo. No Losses
 Hansel told correspondents that ito the best of my knowledge none of the superfortresses was lost over the target area, though creWmen said anti-aircraft fire over Nagoya was worse than over Tokyo.
 The Japanese Domei agency said Japanese fighters and anti-aircraft gunners shot down at least two B-29's and crippled eight others. None of the Japanese fighters was lost, the agency claimed.
 Another Tokyo broadcast, record CT by EGG Monitors, said fires also were started "at 40 places among the several tens of places where enemy bombs were dropped" in the Ham matsu area, between Nagoya and Tokyo.
 At most of these places the fires were put out before damage could be done," Tokyo said. This fine re- suit has further strengthened the confidence of the people and their fighting spirit has bene further in- faled."
 No Confirmation American sources have not con- firmed the attack on Hamamatsu.
 Tokyo radio also was heard warn- ing the Japanese people to Ee on the alert for an extension of B-29 raids to other parts of their home islands.
 NUot only is the time lapse be- tween the raids becoming shorter, " the broadcast said. but the scope of the attacks has been gradually expanded"
 "It is needless to say that an air-tight defense system to meet enemy raids is desired. not only in the vicinity of Tokyo, northern Kyu- shu. Aichi and Shizuoka, which thus far have been subjected to air raids, but in other areas of the Japan csc mainland" the broadcast added.

GI Paper
 Backs Britain

(Continued from Page D
 ister ChurchilrS white paper to the British people don't gee up with the Army and Navy Journals slant on Britain's war role. Yet even these facts have been interpreted by some John Bull baiterS as slap at Amer ica's war production and Americas contribution to lend-lease. It's part of the rumor at race. Anything goes that throws mud on the integrity, loyalty or intentions of our British ally.
 we don't know enough about the inside picture to say whether the Army and Navy Journal is right or wrong. But we will say that the rec ord so far Is on the side of Winnie Churchill and the British. We are fighting this war beside them. We would like to fight the peace beside them. too.'

 The new raids came less than "A hours after the biggest force ot superfortresses yet hurled against Japan from Marianas bases kindled fires visible for 100 miles yesterday at Nagoya, the enemy's biggest air. craft manufacturing center, and by Tokyo's own concession, started at least 40 other fires at HamamatSu, 55 miles southeast of Nagoya.
 Radio Tokyo admitted that the American air offensive against Ja- pan was becoming serious" that Japanese authorities were planning further large-scale" removal of war plants to underground sites, and that evacuation, of civilians from Tokyo was being intensified.

The city first was hit June in the first B-29 raid of the war. On Nov. 27, railway yards were bombed.

An airplane out on a routine ice scouting mission had reported sighting small ship and quanti- ties of supplies on a nearby beach, It. Howard said.
 "Immediately, Capt. c. w. Thomas (of 1510 East Orange avenue, Long Beach, Cab commander of the task unit whose function is to pre- vent Germans from gaining access to Greenland, ordered an aggres- sive patrol to get the ship" How ard recalled.
 Tt already had started to flee, and we didn't intercept it, but we sent landing party to the beach where they found a German weather station had been set down but not established.
 We took the supplies and per- sonnel-they were weather tech- nicians who were pretty cold and exhausted and just about ready to be taken in," Howard said
 Supplies Recovered
 We recovered their supplies = very fine radio and weather equip ment as well as enough food to last a year - and we ferried it out in small boats to the ship" Howard continued. Tt took us three days, and it was tough because we were surrounded by ice and the weather was devilish."
 Next, a patrol was established along that area, but again it was a plane on a routine ice-reconnais- sance flight that sighted the ship, he said. The pilot had reported that he noticed that one iceberg looked peculiar, and when he spir- aled down to investigate, he found a ship so expertly comouflaged that it was impossible to tell its type.
 The eastwind was only 50 miles distant, but it took F hours for it to cut through the thick, rubbery ice which locked the sea.
 The Externsteine, covered with white bunting, looked like nothing more than a bleak splotch on the ice when the eastwind approached her at midnight, howard said.
 After opening fire and deceiving the surrender signal, we noticed that some of the Germans, who had been out on the ice, were runningf1 back to their ship" he continued.
 We immediately signaled: DC not scuttle or we will fire and from then on, the crew became fairly CO., operative"
 Ship Whole
 The men who examined the Nag ship found it in good shape but imprisoned in the ice.
 It. Comdr Harold Land of GIG Rhodes stree) Akron, Ohio, gave the order to extricate the Extern steine by a method of mining the ice and breaking 8 pathway.
 A prize crew was assigned to the vessel under the command of How ard, who was navigator of the East wind, It. Donald Ellis of (11 Boro- dell street) New London, Conn.,, and It. J. c. Gillis of (52 Lund ave- nue) Bay City, Mich.
 The German crew, whose number was not disclosed, has been turned over to the War Department.
 Howard said they found tinnec Danish butter the best I've ever tasted"-tinned bread, sausage cheese, lot of liquor and good can ned fruit aboard as well as stock of grenades, mortars, land mines small-caiber machine guns anc small arms.
 The captured vessel, Howard said was well-mined for self elf-destruction and every stateroom contained g picture of Adolf Hitler.

On nTheScene
 In Washington

A vision of the whitening away of the strike as a weapon, with la- bor retaining the right to use it if necessary was outlined by Research Director Marion H. Hedges of the International Brotherhood of Elec- trical Workers at conference on postwar problems just held in Washington.
 Hedges, a veteran economist and in his present post since 1924, spoke before the Society for the Advancement of Management.
 The labor representative told his audience that q don't believe we as a people, have. universal field from which to draw our economic cards. Nor do I believe we have an indeh- nite amount of time in which to make what choice we have to make. Nor do l believe that that choice can be made of the mere incentive of self-interest, and have that choice sound and, plastic
 Hedges said the apple peddling economy that followed World War I was out, and that rule of carte1s would mean "the kind of economic dictatorship" that would prope1 itself into government
 As an alternative he said ''we can have a management economy. This will mean the preservation of democracy and the greater chance for self-development of every indi- vidual citizen. But we cannot have this without pressing for it and without doing certain things.
 ''One of the things we will have to give up is dOctrinaire attitudes toward sound implementation of policy. One characteristic of our age is dOgmatism about economics =. Ii we are willing to halt wise solution to an economic problem simply because it offends our par ticuiar economic theology, we prob ably will have to go through a pe- riod of 100 years of present con- fusion and warfare.
 "A second pleasant custom that we will have to forego is that of ex- erclsing intolerance toward members of other economic sects. We will probably have to- get to the point where we can cooperate on practical programs with those people who diff fer from us in theology. After all, working with people of varying de- grees of faith and philosophy is part ot the heritage of democracy. . I refer to the habit of prosecuting the class war. Managers must cooperate Tn an atmosphere of unity. Unity can be achieved in our communities only through tolerance by way of con- terence, in the setting up of practical projects and programs in the light of scientific method for the good of the whole community"
 Hedges recalled that it was prob- ably true that the present war economy proved that we can achieve high level of production that has brought the national in. come up to about 40 billion dol lars with a possibility of reaching
