WILL RELEASE
CONSUMER GOODS

Some relaXatiOnS were per-
mltted last week on esse.ltiaI
goods for civilians, WPB officials
announced this week.
approximately 1900, 900 wards
OF cotton fabrics have been al
located to meet a special pro-
gram for the production OF
mems lOw-coSt shirts and shorts
and women's inexpensive house
dresses and slips to be distrib-
uted during the summer months.
At the same time OPA released
ceiling prices for the items to
be produced.
Four additional items OF COM
mercial dry cleaning and tail
ors' pressing equipment may not
be manufactured for civilian
use. After July l, licenses for
importation of wool will be
granted without restrictions a.
gainst carpet wool. Production
of $4,000 cast iron batntubs
during the third quarter of
1914 has been provided for lin
tied distribution.
Galvanized ware to be made
for civilians includes garbage
and ash cans and pals
buckets, tubs, washtubs, wash
boilers, storage cans for petro-
leum products, fire Shovels, fun

Dry cleaners will nave l,O3o
drums of carbon oetrachloride
available each month, beginning
in August.
Production of farm machinery
during May totaled $6l,147,0 Ola.
Although this was the highest
monthly volume reached this
year, it leaves the farm mach
inery program 1O.7 per cent be-
hind schedule on Mar. /, 17.3
per cent behind on Apr. l, and
IA per cent behind on May l.
The program for the twelve
months ending June 80 is s66S,
sos ,428 and this goal will be very
nearly achieved, but production
of other items, such as tractors,
for which the demand is very
high, will exceed original goals.

Regulations are definite on that point
with no exceptions. In fact number
of plants on graves have been uproot-
ed by caretakers. Cut flowers may
be placed on the graves in special con-
tainers which are flush with the top
of the ground. And remember if you
are intending to visit the cemetery
that the gates are locked at o'clock
in the evening.
Fred Fritchie of the Bluffton News
office was surprised the other day
when he saw on the first page of the
Clevland Plain Daler a picture of a
U. S. naval unit, LST-77, the boat on
which his son, Fred, Jr., was previous
ly assigned. He has since been trans
ferred to another boat. The picture
depicted the unloading of tanks of an
armored regiment at Anzio Harbor.
/
And speaking of the navy, the Jim
Balmers received letter from their
son Dick the other day from the
southwest Pacific. Dick said that re-
Gently when his ships mail finally
caught up with them he received 90
letters and 16 copies of the Bluffton
News all at one time. Routine was
pretty well suspended on the boat
while the boys took time out to read
letters from home.
And Evan Soash, also out in the
southwest Pacific said he saw Dick
Balmer's ship recently but he didn't
see Dick, according to letter receiv-
ed by Evans parents, Dr. and Mrs.
M. ID. Soash. Evan and Dick grew
up on South Main street with their
homes little more than a stones
throw apart.
| Supt. A. j. B. Longsdorf has been
receiving many tokens of esteem from
his associates and the latest is that of
a lifetime fountain pen from pupils OF
the grade school. He was previously
presented with Is year membership
in the National Educational Associa-
tion by the faculty of the school. He
said he didn't know he had so many
good friends.

bay were sprouting out Of her, from
the cockpit clear back to the tail.
I'VE surged just a little ahead Of
her nose, and from here we could
see Duke Duphrane and his co-pilot
both slumped over dead, their heads
leaning against the shattered pane
Of the cockpit window. So it wasn't
any man who was keeping her chin
up. 1t was the Old Queen herself
who wanted to die this way.
''We dropped back and came in
little closer-you had an awful
feeling you wanted to help, and you
couldn't - and we saw Sergeant
Keightley, her radioman and right
waist gunner, climb through his es-
cape hatch and bail out, and his
chute open. And then her left-waist
gunner, doing the same on the 9TH
er side. We saw her tail gunner
bail out and his chute open-they
found him four or five days later
on an island.
"She was enveloped in red flames
now from nose to tail, and through
her windows we could see flames
simmer inside her cabin, and as
her plates melted she began to sink
in a steepening curve, and along
the wake Of that curve we were to
count seven parachutes, like seven
swirling dandelion seeds which flut-
ter in the wake of a dried dande-
lion head when you drop it.
"But as yet she hadn't gone down
much, and our own pilot, Captain
Strother-a brave, skillful pilot (who
was presently to die-and every man
of his crew feels he gave his life
to save ours)-was keeping abreast
of her, so that with our guns we
could keep the Japs away in her
last moments, and give her men a
chance to jump.
1.-The last to leave her was Ser
geant Leonard Coleman, her turret
gunner-we could see him working
his SOS, but now he left his turret.
We saw him go by the side window,
and he was struggling to put on his
parachute-which he hadn't worn in
that cramped top turret, for it would
have interfered with his sighting and
shooting-struggling to get his arms
through it like jacket among those
licking flames. We saw him go back
to the rear escape hatch, saw him
drop through it with his clothes
afire, saw him jerk the cord-he
must have done it Immediately, be-
cause by the time he had cleared
the flaming tail by twenty feet, we
saw his chute crack tight-open. But
then, almost instantly, we saw that
parachute begin to billow loosely
like a silk scarf in the wind, be-
cause-Oh, God!-we saw something
else. We saw the poor guy had had
to Jump without having time to
buckle the belt strap of his para
chute-the price he paid for stay
ing in his turret for few last shots
at Zeros, protecting the others while
they jumped. Maybe he figured he
could hold the ends of the belt to-
pether with his hands. Maybe his
hands were so burned he COULDN'T
work the clasp.

It had to be now, 10 give our re-
Inducements time to get inf We
were going to get any. So that after
noon they made their last desperate
stab-damaging that Jap fleet of
course, but not stopping it. And
Just as these Dutch bombers were
coming in to land on Balikpapan
Field, they were hit by carrier
based Zeros and every plane de-
stroyed. Now the Dutch had MOTH
ing, and everything depended on our
Forts.
$50 the next day they put out
from Malang to strike at the Japs
in Macassar, and if possible sink a
carrier. But what happened on that
mission should not be my story. For
I wasn't there. Two of our Sky
Queens died that day in battle and
/ didn't see it. 1t doesn't happen
often. Plenty of them had come
home crippled. Others were
beached, like Shorty Wheless' plane.
Many others have cracked up when
fog shrouded the field. But we'd lost
only FIVE by enemy action, and rare
ly have the Japs seen one fall. Colin
crashed through the overcast near
Clark Field, so they didn't see him
they saw Adams, but not Major
Robinson. Seldom do our own boys
ever see the old Queens 60 down in
battle. So you tell it," said Frank,

CHAPTER XIV

"The Japs by now were stirred up
They came over-obviously off a car
rier hidden somewhere near-and
strafed hell out of Timor airdrome.
Luckily there was nothing on the
leld just then.
ssWill Connolly reported that about
fourteen more P-40's were coming
behind him, but we were to find out
that these ran into terrible luck.
They were being led by a Douglas
transport, and as they approached
Timor, they ran into heavy weather.
The transport, instead of bringing
them on in, turned back. The kids,
who are not supposed to know how to
navigate, wandered around in the
weather, hunting for the airdrome.
Four cracked up on the beaches.
The rest picked up the drome,
sneaked in, gassed up, and took off
for Bali. Here they were gassing
up again when the Japs from that
carrier hit them. Two flights of
three planes each had just cleared
the ground. They hardly had their
wheels up. One was burned up on
the take-off, some were able to bail
out as their planes were shot down
onto the field. The rest were strafed
on the ground, and only three got in
to Surabaya-full of holes.
Nov we began to see that it
would be only matter of time un-
til the Japs took that steppingstone
field at Timor, which connected us
to Australia, and it would all be
over-for no more fighters could get
through to us under their own pow
er. Jap bombers had already hit
Surabaya. If we got no more fight
ers, how long before they smashed
our Forts at Malang? The skies
were darkening fast.
"But about this time we did
curious job for the Dutch. / was
in their Navy headquarters on busi-
ness when Kommander van der
Straaten came running up. You got
to help mel he said. Our bravest
sub is in trouble-she can't dive
Then he explained that she was
more than three hundred miles out
in the Java Sea, moving slowly to-
ward home base, but that Zeros were
circling overhead, and had probably
summoned Jap bombers to polish
her off. Two Dutch Phys had been
guarding her, but those big flying
boats are clumsy as ducks, and the
Zeros had already shot one down.
What they had to have, Van der
Straaten explained, was fighters to
cover the submarine. But the little
Dutch lCurtiss fighters didn't have
the range to get out and back.
II got Bud Sprague on the phone,
told him I was coming out-urgent.
