NORFOLK, Va, Nov. l6.-One
hundred and forty American cargo
vessels are laid up in the James
River boneyard and none is in con-
dition for use as a troop carrier,
w. F. Graham, operations assistant
with the War Shipping Administra-
ton here, said yesterday.
The idle fleet, Mr.. Graham said.
Is composed of 80 Liberty ships, seven
tank-carrying Liberties, four World
War cargo ships, II tankers, three
lakers, one GLIB and "a miscellane-
Gus vessels, including some taken
from foreign nations during the war
by the United States.
Nine vessels have been removed
from the boneyard and are being
repaired here and in Baltimore to
return to the merchant service.
-Four others have been sold to private
interests, Mr.. Graham reported.
Principal objection to converting
the cargo ships to troop carriers, it
was explained, is the lack of facil-
tiles to prepare food and feed a
large number of men. Sufficient
sanitation facilities also are lacking.

1t was long but perfect flight
unmarried even by the sight of some
Jap fighter planes in the air as we
passed over Hong Kong. We ar
rived at Nichols Field on the out
skirts of Manila at $50 pm. and
the first person who stepped up and
shook hands with me was my good

Manila Shockingly Destroyed.
Manila was shockingly destroyed
The very contour of the city seemed
changed. We entered Dewey boule.
ward by a route which was totally
unfamiliar to me, and as we pro.
ceeded down that avenue saw that
the spacious mansions which once
lined it had been burned or broken
to the ground. In their places stood
barracks and supply dumps. We
stopped at what was left of the Ad-
miral Apartments and went to our
quarters.
That night Col Sid Hoff, detailed
by Macarthur to look out for US,
brought in tailor who altered the
Uniform Gen. Wedemeyer had given
me in Chungking and made it come
closer to fitting my towering skin
and bones. Col. Hoff then produced
a barber, ordered dinner served in
our rooms, and dumped a small
mountain of jackets. shirts, insignia,
theater ribbons, toilet articles and
other needed supplies in our rooms
Best of all things he gave me was a
neat 80 pistol.
I cannot tell you what 1t meant
to me to have gun again.

strange to us, and whose size, speed
and luxury were hard TO believe.
Shortly h1fore noon we landed on
Okinawa where my old friend Gen.
John r. Hodge, whom / had not
seen In many years, took us In hand
and told us the amazing story OF
the capture of that strategic OUT
post.
Fly Over Tokyo Bay.
BY late afternoon of this same
August 81 we were flying over Tokyo
Bay. We put down at Atsugi air
field about ten miles out of Yoko-
hama and were taken to the Grand
Hotel in the city in some old and
battered Jap Army cars.
1t was a strange feeling to ride
through the streets of the city and
watch even Jap general officers
come to attention and briskly
salute us =. after years of numil-
iating servility before Jap privates.
Riding to the hotel, I thought of
the beatings we had taken for fail
ing to bow and scrape before litter
ate latrine sentries, and great waves
OF thankfulness passed over me.
MacArthur's staff officers were
waiting for me on the hotel steps
which lead to the lobby. They
greeted me and told me that the
general was having dinner and had
left word for me to join him in the
dining room.

Bethesda Group
Criticizes Lee 5
Appointments
Democratic Leaders
Claim They Were
Not Consulted
BY ]. b. ZATMAN.

1t. Col. E. Brooke Lee, Montgom-
cry County Democratic leader, was
criticized by Bethesda party chiefs
last night for his alleged failure to
consult them in the recent major
political appointments to county
posts.
The criticism was made at a
stormy meeting Of the Caucus Conn
mittee Of the United Democratic Or
ganization, in the Jesup Blair Com
House, Silver Spring,
According to informed sources, the
criticism brought forth the charge
by Col. Lee that Democratic workers
In Bethesda have one of the worst
records IN the county for getting out
the vote, and that they ought to
concentrate on increasing the Demo-
cratic turnout instead of complain
ing about not being consulted on
appointments.
Refer to Brault, Morgan.
The appointments referred to in.
clude that Of Judge Albert e. Brault
as county utility agent and 10 v.
Morgan as county civil service COM
missioner. Both are from the Beth.
esda area.
Col. Lee also maintained that the
law passed at the last session Of the
Legislature setting up the two posts
provided that the appointments be
made by the commissioners. He
said this had been complied with.
and that in addition State Senator
Thomas E. Hampton and Commits
sioner William H. Prescott, both OF
the Bethesda area, had been con-
suited.
The Bethesda spokesman con-
tended, however, that wider range
OF opinion should have been OBJ
tanned before the appointments
were made. They appeared salts
ned, however, at the conclusion of
the meeting when both Senator
Hampton and Col. Lee pledged
themselves to consult party leaders
on major appointments.
Cantrell Denies Candidacy.
Meanwhile, Joseph A. Cantrell, at
torney to the country commission
ers. today denied reports that he
had been consulted concerning his
possible candidacy next year to sue
coed Senator Hampton. 1t had
been reported that although Senator
Hampton had the backing of Demo-
cratic leaders in Bethesda, ofIiciais
OF the Democratic organization rs a
whole were attempting to persuade
Mr.. Cantrell to run instead.
MIR. Cantren said he had never re-
ceiyed any shint" or request to run
for the State Senate next year. He
added, 4 don't want any ONCE"

LIVING WAR
MEMORIALS PLANNED

Chicago QLNS).-Several cities in
California, Washington and Oregon
have already appropriated money for
living war memorials in preference to
mounting a gun in front of the local
city hall or commissioning someone
to do a bronze statute of a soldier in
a jeep, the International City Man
ager's Association reports. Appropria-
tions for living war memorials were
made in the belief that cities can
build community recreation buildings,
hospitals, Libraries, or some other SIM
liar project, which can be used by
everyone in the city and thus become
as integral as part of their lives as
the memory of war heroes in their
own families.

WLB Refuses To Cut
RecOnversiOn Pay Rates

Washington, d. C.--In its first deci-
sion on wage reduction proposal, the
War Labor Board denied request of
the American Car and Foundry Com
pany Of Wilmington, Del, for appro-
val Of lowering Of mechanics rates,
coincident with the change from war
to peace-time production. Industry
members dissented.
In many instances during the war
employers who changed from the pro-
duction Of civilian goods to war prod
ucts were permitted to raise their
wage rates to the prevailing level of
that particular industry to enable
them to compete for available skilled
manpower. The reconversion of these
concerns raised the question whether
wage rates should 20 back.
The board wrote no opinion in the
American Car and Foundry case, but
members have said that the impor-
tant consideration in such cases was
whether the required skills of the
particular jobs underwent a change
in the process of changing the prod
uct.
