Shortly before eight o'clock on
the morning of May II a low fly
ing seaplane attempted suicide
attack on the Hadley and was shot
down; the pontoons of this plane,
which were apparently filled with
explosives, were seen to explode
as the plane hit the water.
r"Soon after, several formations
of enemy planes, totaling about $50
aircraft in all, were reported to
the north. They were Immediately
attacked by our fighters but many
Of them broke through and attack
ed the Hadley and Evans. For the
next hour and a half the two de.
stroyers, maneuvering at high
speed and firing all guns, were
under continuous attack by suicide
planes.
I'm the ensuing melee, Navy
fighter planes shot down about 81
enemy planes, and the two de-
stroyers accomplished the amaz.
ing feat of destroying AZ enemy
planes between them, the Hadley
% and the Evans 10. Toward the
end of the battle, as our Navy
fighter planes ran out of ammuni-
ton, there were several cases in
which our pilots actually rode
enemy planes into the water, fly
ing closer and closer and above
the Jap until he was forced into
the sea. In two instances a heroic
Marine pilot interposed his plane
between the Hadley and an attack
ing suicide plane, forcing the Jap
aircraft to break off It's attack.
Both of these gallant destroy
ers were hit before the Jap attack
was repealed"

Describing the intensity of the
Okinawa action now in progress,
Secretary Forrestal said that total
Japanese plane losses in combat
during April exceeded $500 to set
new monthly record. The pre-

1914, when Jap losses were slight

Forrestal said, were estimated to
have reduced the Japanese air

The head of large heating con- cern recently remarked to me that the success of his company is large ly the result of correcting other peoples mistakes. What he meant was that most of their business came from homes which were ex- periencing heating trouble of one kind or another.
 A chief mistake is that of allow ing the price rather than the ade- quacy of the furnace to determine one's choice. In doing so they ig- nore certain laws of heating which must be conformed to if good re- suits are expected. There are def- mite formulas for calculating the capacity of furnace in relation to the size and type of home to be heated, and while it does no harm to install a furnace of over-capa- city, it does bring trouble to install one of inadequate size. Size for size, all furnaces run pretty much equal in installed cost; therefore, when an experienced heating man figures out the price of a correct installation, one does not save money by taking a smaller size than is recommended. It just means replacing the inadequate job later on, which in effect is paying double for one's heating plant.
 The heart of your home Is it's furnace, and there just isn't any chance of having a healthy home with an undersized heart. The only safe way is to place the matter in the hands of a reliable heating man who makes the selling of the fur mace secondary to the accurate de- termination of your homes heating needs. He will plan your heating system as it should be for great est efficiency, using mathematical calculation instead of guesswork, and when he arrives at the correct answer, that's what he'll stick to. And if you also stick to his find ings, you'll not be making a mis- take that shall later have to be corrected.

The only labor unions mentioned in the releases were those affili- ated with the American Federation of Labor.
 Undersecretary of War Patter- son officially congratulated the American Federation of Labor and its members who helped to make the atomic bomb project such a success.
 He described how AFL unions had recruited skilled workers from every part of the country and shipped them to the project sites In Tennessee and Washington.
 Tn many instances" the War Department said in acknowledg- ment of the AFL's aid, "the trade union leaders broke down condi- tions of long standing so that the work might be, completed on schedule"
 AFL Secretary Treasurer George Meany in a radio talk on the AFL's Labor-USA program, declared the AFL workers on the atomic bomb projects had performed "a miracle of hard work, without which the formulas and blueprints of the sci entists could never have been transformed into bombs" This work, he said, was done on the largest scale in history, both in construction and production.
