COAST GUARDSMEN IN HEROIC ACTON;
 SOLDIERS RESCUED

ABOARD A COAST GUARD MANNED FREIGHT SUPPLY SHIP IN THE PACIFTC-(SpeciaD Help lessly blinded by flame after their merchant ship had taken a direct hit from a Jap torpedo plane, U. s. soldiers were rescued from Pacific waters by two U. S. Coast Guards men who volunteered to dive over board and save the drowning men.
 The Coast Guardsmen were Ed ward J. Singer, 23, Motor Machin- ists Mate, second class, of Los An- geles, Calif., and John R. Blk, 20, seaman first class, of Chicago, H., both members of a Coast Guard manned Army freight and passen- ger vessel, commanded by Lieut. enant (jg) H. H. Sandidge, Jr.. US- co, of Lynchburg, Va.
 Singling out a Liberty type ship acting as troop transport, the plane successfully scored hit on the ships bow and there was terrific explosion. Some 55 soldiers were blown overheard by the concussion, or had to jump because of the flames when gas drums caught afire. Although badly damaged, the ship was able to continue in the convoy.
 The Coast Guard-manned ship was ordered to turn back and pick up survivors, and as she dropped out of the convoy, four more Jap planes came in to join the attack. Two planes were brought down while the other two sped away af- {, ter dropping bombs in an unsuccess- i full attempt to finish off the troop ship.
 Lieut.. Sandidge ordered lifeboats lowered and as the crew started to pick up survivors, four more Jap planes appeared, staffing soldiers in the water, as they headed for the main convoy. Those who were still alive were badly shocked and burn ed. One of them, blinded by the flames, kept crying Come and get me, can't see"
 Concerned about a possible life boat collision in the rough seas, Lieut. Sandidge asked for volunteers to help in the rescue work. Blk and Singer stripped off their clothes and pulled in the struggling soldiers. So great had been the concussion that lifebelts. and even wrist watches had been blown off the soldiers; only 26 of 55 could be found by the Coast Guard Crew Suffering from shock

STORY OF PRISON
 CAMP OF GERMANS

! Featuring an all-male cast headed by Gene Kelly, Jean Pierre Aumont, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Peter Lorre, Richard Whorf and Joseph Calleia, "Thc Cross of Lorraine" Metro Goldwyn- Mayors drama of French soldiers interned in a German prison camp, opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Based on the recent best-seller by refugee-author Hans Habe, "A Thousand Shall Fail.' is factual story of rigors endured by French prisoners of war following the Nazi invasion. Additional material for the screenplay is from an original story by Robert Aisner and Lilo Da- inert, titled, The Time Is Now, which recounts the escape of two prisoners from a German military camp.
 An entire Nazi military prison camp was reconstructed for the film Since nothing but German-approved photographs of such camps were available publicly, tro-Goldwyn- Mayer researchers consulted smug- gled material for authenticity.
 Others in the cast include Wallace Ford, Donald Curtis, Hume Cronyn Jack Lambert, Jack Edwards, Jr., Richard Ryen and Billy Roy.

 Counsel for Joyce announced as soon as the conviction and death sentence were brought in that they would appeal the case.

Trieste Issue May Set Precedent

London, Sept. 19.-(UP)-Foreign Ministers of the Allied Big Five huckled down today to the thorny problem of what to do with Trieste, the Adriatic port whose fate may set a precedent for Q number of post-war disputes.
 The Council of Foreign Ministers was armed with the views of Italy, YugoslAvia and the British Dom irions, They were presented in three formal sessions of the coun. oil yesterday md last night.
 Heavy Pressure
 The pressure under which the council worked was reflected in the fact that the ministers were back in session at II a. m. despite the fact that the last meeting had gone on until 1:e0 a. m.
 Unofficial views were expressed freely that a clash of Soviet and Anglo American views on major points was threatening the success of the meeting.
 The British official commentator said the ministers heard the views of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa last night. Herbert Evatt, external affairs minister, spoke for Australia; Acting High Commission CT R. Campbell for New Zealand; and High Commissioner Heaton Nichols of South Africa.
 Canada, the spokesman said, de- cilned an invitation to be heard. He said the Canadians felt they did not wish to express their views"
 Greek Position
 Archbishop Damaskinos, regent of Greece, left London today after last minute conference with Phillip Noel Baker, minister of state. A spokesman said Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin head discussed with Damaskinos the councils failure to invite Greece to be heard, and there was @ chance Greek representative might appear later. .
 Bevin told Damaskinos that Greece was at liberty to present her views in writing to the council at any time, the spokesman said.
 Reports circulated that Greece had hoped to press claim to the Dodecanese islands and had expect ed opposition from Russia, which has expressed disapproval of the present Greek government. British Reaction The British press was quick, blunt and apparently authoritative in its reaction to Soviet Foreign Commis- sar V. M. Molotov's hint that Rus sia was interested in obtaining trusteeship of one or more of the Italian Mediterranean colonies. ! (Continued on Page q

 It wasn't long before refugees be- gan coming into Nagatsuks from the city. Every minute the process sion got thicker and thicker.
 The refugees were suffering from wounds in the legs, hand, arms and face.
 We took as many as possible into our damaged building and did the best we could for them, but our stock Of medicines soon ran out.
 In the afternoon, we learned that the bomb had fallen in the center of Hiroshima and organized 8 rescue party of eight to search for four Jesuit Fathers, including Father Su- perior La Sale, who were in a mis- sion in the center.

 The silvery sky giants, manned by blue- ribbon crews, were streaking across the Canadian Rockies on the homeward leg of their ambitious propect.
 Their nonstop hop would not be the longest on record, however. The established record of 7.158 miles was set November 5-7. 1888 by two Bri- tish Royal Air Force Vickers-Wel- lesley planes which flew from Egypt to Australia without refuelling or stopping.

LoboF Secretary Now Armed with Tremendous Power For Action

Washington, Sept. 19- (UP)-Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach and his new Cancellation Chief, Edgar L. Warren, tackled the explosive Detroit Labor situation today.
 After a lengthy conference, the secretary said Warren would go to Detroit, if neces- sary, to see if enough repre- sentatives of the Labor De- partment were on the job to seek peace in the auto in- dustry.
 Broad Powers
 Armed with more authority than any predecessor, Schwellenbach planned later conferences with the Cancellation Staff and War Labor Board representatives to learn what now is being done in Detroit.
 Simultaneously, responsibility for the nations stabiliZation program shifted from William II. Davis, Di- rector of the Office of Economic Stabilization, to reconVersion Di- rector John w. Snyder. President Truman transferred OES to Snyder in Q surprise move late yesterday.
 Tn his long-awaited reorganiza- ton of government labor services, MT. Truman gave Schwelenbach authority over the War Labor Board and War Manpower Commission as well as e voice in making the Wage StahiliSation policies under Snyder
 With his new powers, Schwellea. bach emerged as probably the strongest Labor Secretary in U. s. History. He recaptured not only functions that were divorced from the department under stress of war but inherited agencies set up 1T both peace and war to keep labor management relations on an even keel. ..
 Talked Out of Turn
 Davis removal as Stabilizatior chief appeared to have been based at least in part on his recent state' ment that wages should rise 50 pei cent in the next five years withou .1ncreasing the cost of living. ., MT Truman told his news conference late yesterday that Davis was mol speaking for the administration when he made that statement.
 Nobody in this government il going to make a statement like that until after such a policy Is discussed between members of the cabinet and Snyder" Schwellenbach said at news conference following the pres ident's meeting with the press.
 Schwellenbach set his first objec. tive to find out what can be done to end the Kelsey Hayes Wheel Go strike in Detroit, which has closed Ford Motor Go. plants. and to avert other work stoppages that would in- terfere with reconversion of the au- tomobile industry.
