PLANES SMASH SUPPLY BARCES FROM WEWAk

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD QUARTERS IN NEW GUINTA, May 3.-fAP)-Allied planes and PIT. boats smashed 20 supply bar ges with fleeing Japanese from the isolated base at Wewak, and other marooned enemy forces near Aitape, headquarters announced today.
 The planes strafed the island escape routes in those sectors, where an estimated 600oO Japan ese are caught between the allied new bases of Medang and Hol- landia.
 The new raid on Schouten Is- lands stirred little Japanese air opposition and six enemy planes were downed, and the raiders damaged an enemy freighter.
 Strong Japanese patrols oper- ating to the east of the allied beachhead at Empress of Augusta Bay, is a possible foreboding of renewal of attacks which cost the enemy thousands of men in March in futile efforts.
 The Liberators which raided Schouten Islands were heavily outnumbered by 18 Japanese fighter planes, but returned to their base with only two of their number damaged
 The patrol torpedo boats near Wewak destroyed | barges '1a- den with troops and supplies"

CHICAGO, May 3.-(AP)-A spokesman for the CIO Union of Mail Order Warehouse Retail Employees denounced a decision of the National Labor Relations Board yesterday to conduct an election by employees of the gov ernment-controlled Montgomery Ward plant within seven days, as "dirty deal.

PROTEST USE OF LIBERTYS FOR FISHING

SEATTLE, May 3.-(AP)-Can- nery workers joined with the fishermen in protest 10 the use of Liberty ships for transporting workers north for the Alaska salmon run, in an official reso- lution which was forwarded to the War Shipping Administration by united cannery and agricul- tural workers unions, which de- clared that the members would not sail on the Liberty ships un- less they were materially strengthened.
 The membership flatly refused to go north unless they could leave on two ships, to be provid- ed by the administration, and in sisted that the crowded conditions which prevailed last year would not be tolerated.
 Meanwhile the Alaska fisher mems union was completely un- appeased by wire received from Admiral E. s. Lund, head of the VISA, which said, '"The vessel as- signed to transport the fishermen is new type conversion, which has been strengthened and is more elaborate and comfortable than previous travel conditions, and will accommodate almost half again as many more troops as there are fishermen involved in the movement, and I feel that if the vessel is satisfactory for troops, it should be for the fish ermen, aside from the fact that this is the only vessel available"
 Andrew Vigen, secretary- treas urer of the union, declared, Fish ermen working in the dry dock, where they were assigned to the vessel overhauled, reported the increased accommodations of $50 hunks, which were built into the hold, last year packed 1000 men in so tightly that many of them got sick, and that this year are, going to put more men in better accommodations"
 vigen added: "The fishermen] put little stock in the report of the strengthening of the vessel"

high schools, and also at the Web ster and Duggaii grammar schools.
 Tn addition to the regular classes for adults offered yearly in the coms
 mercial, vocational and classical hiGh schools, as well as those in citizenship, special attention will be focused upon subjects sought by our returning soldiers and also upon those subjects which will prove beneficial to the seventeen. year. old group who may be industed into the armed forces in the near future.
 pr. oilmartin recently attended Q two day conference of New Eng land educators at Fort Devens con. ducted by the military authorities. The purpose of the meeting was to inform school men what subjects should be taught the teen. .agC youths or Pre-1nductees to enable them to become early accustomed to oaInp-life, and at the same time to hasten promotion in the service. If Q sufficient number of the i7. year-old group register, special ir. Struction will be given to them. The fact that 0 boy goes to day high school will not debar him from join- ing on evening school will not dehar him from joining an evening school class, provided he is l0-years-old or over.
 New courses to be introduced will be photography, auto mechanics, clothes -remodiilng, fix . it yourself and electricity, and radio theory and repairing,
 Should c group Of people desire Q course not recorded in the cur. riculum, 1t will be possible to have it formed by getting in touch with pr. 0ilmartln.
 Prospects for a successful evening school year are very encouraging, according to the school authorities. This Is attributable to the wide range of subjects presented and also to the absence of the difn.out which greatly interfored with attendance in some of the schools for the past two years.
