usually sat, alone. When she saw
me she jumped up and came rum
ming across the room. Had seen
John? she wanted to know, in her
pretty broken English.
"Out in the lobby they had told
me John was missing. He'd been
out on reconnaissance patrol in that

and there had been two messages
from him: Many Zeros sighted and

only three of the ones 7 knew in
gallant Patrol Wing 10, Commander
Peterson, Bill Hardy, and Duke
Campbell. None Of them had been
able to tell her, and when I looked
at her face I found I couldn't either.
Because it was the face Of someone
frozen with fear in a nightmare-so
frozen you knew she daren't move
to accept the truth if you told her,
so I too was afraid.

ing ghost of all-the ghost of dead
love which will not die.
"But there's something else that
should be told, only I must go back
in the story little. The Army had
sent a high ground officer to Sura-
baya on a special mission of great
Importance, and with about a mil
lion dollars deposited to his credit
in the Javische Bank. With this he
was to buy and equip with supplies
three blockade runners which would
carry to Corregidor ammunition,
medical supplies, and food for those
poor devils on Bataan who were still
fighting on. Two of the ships had
already left. A third was almost
ready to go.
'"This officer left Java the twenty
sixth Of February. The day after
he left, his assistant, a young sec

siderable anxiety. His chief, he ex-
planned, had paid him the compli-
ment of leaving him in Surabaya in
entire charge of completing the ar
engagements.
'sNothing remained to be done ex-
cept the most important thing of all:
the officer before leaving had been
unable to find radio operator for
this last ship. Without one they
could not start, because unless they
gave a prearranged radio signal
when they approached Corregidor,

and Old SO, with many other Forts, was
demolished ON the ground. After escap.

normal and the vessel lay so quietly
In 1t. But the acrid smell of fuel
oil, always a mark Of war at sea, was
rolling toward us. We tried to race,
but the sea lives in world of its
own and does not cooperate with
those who ask it to have human
heart. 1t fetched us q crack across
the snout- that nearly broke us and
we had to slow down again and slide
up the hills of water and fall down
them as carefully as before.
We saw first those who had been
blown farthest by the explosion.
They were all dead.
Leave the dead and take the hy-
ing first" cried Big John.
And then from all over the sea
around us came cries of Help!
help!" and one startling plea Of
Please help mel"
We fished six men out of the
water, two of them uninjured. Two
other ships had come to the rescue
and we searched along with them,
taking only the living and leaving
the dead bobbing and ebbing and
awash like derelicts in the sea. One
Of the men we got was naked.
Every stitch of clothing, including
his shoes and socks, had been blown
OF him, and his body was welted
all over with small red marks as
If 1t had been thrashed.
Warning u Planes Sounded.
( Two ships were coming In on
either side Of the minesweeper to
take survivors OF its decks.
Watch for enemy planes flying
high at 240i" came . warning from
the lOudspeaker of q ship above US.
Bombs dropped abouts4 miles from
us at point IN France where later
In the: day, by coincidence, we
landed. We found out then that
q naval offlcer and an Army oflicer
had been walking across this point
at the time and that the Army
ofncerss refiexes had been quicker.
Down" he shouted when he heard
the feathered whish Of the falling
bomb and fell pushing against the
Navy man. The naval officer,
startled perhaps, resenting the sud
den push and certainly fighting it,
had been caught in the head by a
single fragment and killed instantly.
sAfter . few moments we made our
way back TO the ships alongside the
minesweeper. We wanted to put
our survivors on board them; we
still. had mission to accomplish
The only sound from the survivors
since we had taken them on board
had been the small, blubbering ones
from the naked man, but now as
we pulled in close to one OF the
ships one Of the survivors said to
the boy next to him:
Joe, are you hurt anywhere?"

Me neither" said the first boy.
The two looked at each other,
then they began to giggle. They
couldn't help it; they giggled just
like girls. 1t suddenly seemed funny
to them that both should have been
SO frightened and neither had been

Highest Court Affirms
Contempt Conviction
In Labor Files Case
Nv T. A. FIX.

The Supreme Court today affirmed
the contempt conviction of Penn
sylvania labor union official who
had refused to produce union rec
erds at a grand jury investigation of
a. "kickback" case on the ground
that they might incriminate him.
The unanimous decision of the
court was read by Justice Murphy
and reversed the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals which in turn
had reversed a conviction of the
Federal District Court at Harris
burg, Pa.
The case arose in connection with
the grand jury probe of alleged ir-
regularities in the construction of
the Mechanicsburg (Pa0 Naval
Supply Depot. The records Of the
AFL, Local 542, International Union
of Operating Engineers, was sought
In connection with the case, but
Jasper White, assistant supervisor
of the union, refused to produce
them, upon the ground that they
might tend to incriminate Local $40,
myself as officer thereof or individ-
ually.'
Can't Withhold Records.
He added that he was privileged
to withhold the records because
great uncertainty exists today" as
to what may or may not constitute
violation of the anti-kickback act,
which forbids the practice of forc-
ing workmen on job to turn back
part Of their pay.
Passing on Whites contention, the
court said: Since the privilege
against self determination is q truly
personal one, 1t cannot be utilized
by or on behalf Of any organization,
such as corporation. Moreover,
the paper and effects which the
privilege protects must be the pri-
vate property Of the person claim
ing the privilege, or at least In his
possession in purely personal ca
pacity.
But individuals, when acting as
. representative of a collective group,
cannot be said to be exercising their
personal rights and duties nor to
be entitled to their purely personal
privileges. Rather, they assume the
rights, duties and privileges of the
artificial entity or association of
which they are agents or officers
and they are bound by its obliga-
tions.
Not Personal Property.
"In their official capacity, there
fore, they have no privilege against
self discrimination. And the officia.
records and documents of the or.
ganization that are held by them ir

HEAD IN FRANCE, June 8 De.
layed| This day began for me al
dawn on June Z. 1t began with .
small moment OF danger--a tiny
flare-up that sank almost instantly
back into monotonolls misery.
The sea was being kicked up by
wind. Our Coast Guard troop trans
port rode it easily, but small boats
by its sides heaved and rolled from
beam to beam. The one that was
to take us to shore was being thrown
5 and 10 feet into the air and dig
ging deep into the troughs between
the waves. The leap from slip
perry ladder to greasy hatch had
to be timed nicely. The man who
fell between the ship and the boa,
would be squashed like an egg

Mission to Accompany Let.
We stood out from about the mid
die of our western beachhead here.
On the horizon ahead Of us was
France. To the right and left and
ahead and behind, farther than man
could see, the scene was the sarne q
spreading mass Of ships lying to,
waiting patiently Dis cows to be guri-
loaded, each deep-laden and teefn-
ing with men and goods. The waters
in between were teeming, too, with
small boats threading back and
forth.
+. The mission Of our boat was to
accompany an Let in transporting
a task force from its reconnaissance
at one place to another point. s
War reached out and struck with
one giant paw dead ahead Of us
There was big explosion, and gray
smoke and white water all mingled
and rising hundreds of feet into the
air out of the center of the explo-
sion spewed q mortally stricken
vessel. This was one the paw OF
war had picked to hit. and now the
vessel was plunging, tilted, then 1t
righted itself and lay quietly, dying
with the big gaseous looking bub-
blings ships make when they die,
while the smoke behind it subsided
and the sea settled down to Its re-

The court adjourned today for. the
summer, and as one of its final
acts ordered reargument of a test
of the Texas law requiring paid
labor union organizers to register
and obtain State permit to op-
crate. The challenge was instituted
by the CIO United Automobile
Workers and the outcome has been
awaited with interest because Of a
furor raised when the court recently
ruled that the "all-white" primaries
conducted by Texas Democrats were
unconstitutional. The case was pre-
viously argued May /.
The Texas labor law case grew out
of the arrest of r. j. Thomas. UAW
president, who was fined 500 and
sentenced to three days in Jail in
Pelley, Tex, last September for
addressing a meeting to organize
oil workers in violation of an in
junction obtained by the attorney
general of Texas after Mr.. Thomas
announced his intention OF carrying
on his work without obtaining the
necessary permit.
Reargument Ordered.
The court ordered reargument the
first week in September in order to
clarity several points, and invited
the solicitor general of the United
States to file brief in the: case If
this is desired. The Government
has not previously entered this case.
The points on which the court
asked clarification dealt with the
aspects of the constitutional right
of freedom of speech involved in the
litigation and also whether the ap-
