Jap Suicide Pilot
 Crashes Hospital Ship

Continued from Page One) Seventy Army division captured the northern half of Machinato airfield on the west coast of Oki- nawa. The Seventh Division in- fantry seized high ground near Kochi village on the east coast and continued southward. Gener- al advances were made all along the line,
 The casualties aboard the Com fort were twenty-nine killed and thirty-three wounded, and one missing, including passengers all ready wounded in the Okinawa campaign and the hospital ships crew. At least one other Allied hospital ship, an australian vessel, has been attacked in the Pacific by the Japanese. That occurred nearly year ago and the loss of life there was much heavier.

'OPA News
(From the Juneau Office)

Four firms doing business in Kodiak, Alaska, have felt the impact of the Alaska OPA's newly acquired authority to roll back prices that are out of line, even though they were high in that particular community dur ing the base period, it was re- vealed today by Mildred R. Her mann, Alaska Director of the OPA.
 This authority which is set up in Revised Maximum Price Reg uIation 194, is known as the Dir ector's Initiative. It allows the OPA director to order reductions of price lines upon the basis of substantiated facts showing such action is needed. The action in the Kodiak cases represents the first use of this authority in Alaska. In making the orders. which cover reductions on cer- tain lines of mems and boys clothing, it is pointed out that prices on these commodities had advanced sharply in Kodiak in the fall of l941, owing to the un- usually heavy demand brought on by the influx of war workers during that period. This situa- tion created inflated prices, which were legal under Alaska's price regulation, although much out of line with prices generally Lrevelant.
 The four firms affected were the W. J. Erskine company, Ko- diak Variety store, the Mems store, and o. Kraft & company. An additional order to the Frs kine company directs a reduc- tion on drug, cosmetics and sun dry items offered for sale in their store.
 The application of the Direct or's Initiative marks signi6c- ant addition to the price control program in Alaska, the OPA pointed out. Further use of this authority will iron out other price lnequitieo which have been subject to considerable criticism at ether points in the Territory.

Sgt. Geo. H. Golden, armourer,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Golden,
route 1, Laurel, Mont, works in the
ordnance section at Ell Aouina air
base, Tunis terminal for North Afri-
can division, air transport command.
When the Germans made their
hurried exit some two years ago,
many hazards to life and limb were
left behind. Besides caring for the
normal small arms and munitions,
Sergeant Golden is sometimes called
upon to handle some engine of death
found still able to work harm in
the name of Nazi cunning.
Arriving five months ago from
the States, Sergeant Golden was as
signed to Bari and Casserta, Italy,
before coming to Tunis. Of the
towns about the airbase, he prefers

We have been shelled some and

We have a radio, and we get all

the largest spent by any country for war
research All the evidence available indicates that the
country got its moneys worth. Never science So
effectively modified Now that Germany is beaten,
to leave research to the Army and Navy alone?
The Woodrum Committee answers with ringing mo"
1t is all for continuing military research in appro-
pirate dimensions in time of peace"
If we are to follow the recommendation Of the
Woodrum Committee Congress cannot be ignored. 1t
has been suggested that research be provided for in
separate appropriations for the Army and Navy. II
this done requests for appropriations would have
to be referred to separate Congressional committees
which deal with the needs of the Army and Navy.
No single body could envisage the whole field of war
research Moreover each branch of the armed services
would attempt the largest possible appropra
ton The Woodrum Committee, supported by Secre-
taries Stimson and Forrestal would turn the whole
matter of war research to the National Academy
of Sciences which would act through a committee
Of forty half officers half civilian scientists with
civilian as chairman This governing committee would
control scientific research mad development in all
branches for the armed forces with the Academy
reporting from time to time TO the proper committees
of the Senate and the House expenditures and
the president of the Academy paying out funds on
vouchers The procedure seems to us sensible and
practical
There can be no question that our future security
depends not only adequate Army and Navy but
on the equipment of that Army and Navy. With
outmoded weapons even the most admirably trained
force cannot be truly effective Research must
tinue scale with scientific progress
The fact has been forcefuly driven home by
experience gained in this that cannot backslide

performed valuable public service We hope that its
report will impress Congress deeply as it is bound

OSS AND
I. G. FARBEN MYSTERY

A series of secret cables sent by
Gen. William Donovan of the
Office of Strategic Services mick
named "Oh-So-Secret") to Russell
Forgan, former Chicago banker,

U. S. officials. Donovan wired
Forgan to interrogate directors of

Army.
This is the company which col

New Jersey and the Aluminium
Corporation of America to keep
vitality important patents for syn
thetic rubber, magnesium, and high
octane gasoline from the American
public at a time when it was
essential to use those patents for
war.
One cable from Donovan to For
gan in Paris reads:
Il have already asked you to
send names of directors of l. G..
Forgan now in custody. From now
on these men should be kept from
one another, particularly when the
interrogation begins. Files of l. G..
Farben should be seized and sent
to Paris at once in our custody
This is most important. Essential
that we keep control of these men"
What intrigues other U. S. Of
ficials is that Donovan's OSS is
dominated by scions of the MELONS,
the J. p. Morgans and big banking
and industrial houses, some of
them interested in German patents.
Forgan himself has been a partner
of Globe, Forgan 81 Co, and a
director of the Borg Warner Corp
Other government officials are
also puzzled as to why the OSS.
rather than the Justice Depart

quiet probing of this.
