PORTLAND. Greg, Aug. 31.-A
s$3, 100000 fire which swept the out
fitting dock at Henry j. Kaiser's
Oregon shipbuilding yard yesterday
is believed to have virtually ended
work at the war-built yard.
Only three vessels remain on the
ways-the last scheduled for launch
ing September 8-while seven ships
at the dock where fire broke out
have been transferred to other
Kaiser repair yards.
Launching of the remaining Vic
tory ships-the Billings, Boise and
Brainard-will halt construction at
the yard where 455 vessels have been
built under Maritime Commission
contract.
Two workers who tried to escape
by jumping from docked ship into
the water are missing.
The blaze started when an. acety-
lene line burst, igniting wooden
piling under the dock. The flames
spread quickly into the paint, pipe
and tool shops.
Tugs towed seven ships from the
outfitting dock to safety. Damage
to the seven consisted Of blistered
paint and burning of wooden super
structure. Yard Manager Edgar A.
Kaiser said the ships would be COM
pleted.

ABOARD PRISONER OF WAR
RESCUE SHIP REEVES, Tokyo
Bay, Aug. 31-Nine survivors res
cued from the Omori prison camp
near Tokyo yesterday dispelled the
mystery Of the famous missing
United States submarine Tang,
which they disclosed was torpedoed
off Formosa last October Is.
Before she went down the Tang
had effected a sensational rescue
of % pilots shot down during carrier
plane attacks on Truk, Japanese
naval bastion in the Carolines.

feet now preparing to return the
first liberated prisoners to their
homes.
The others of the Tang's crew
were lost when the ship went down,
Comdr. O'Kane said.
After drifting for hours in their
life jackets, the nine men who es-
capped were picked up by Japa-
nese destroyer escort and landed on
FormoSa.
We were held there and ques-
toned necessarily under constant
threat of death for many weeks" 4"
Comdr. OKane said. Then we were
transferred to Kyushu and kept in
solitary confinement there until last
April. Then We were moved to
Omori prison camp. just over there" I"
he pointed. 1T was worse than any
thing we had seen before"
Evidently because the japanese
feared and hated American sub
marines, prisoners taken from that
service were classified along with
aviators and some others as "spe-
cial prisoners"
These especially unfortunate men
were deprived of every privilege in
the book of international law and
obliged to exist on half of the mea-
ger rations accorded to regular pris-
oners.

Pay Raise Demands
by Order
Ending 48-Hour Week
by the Associated Press.

by lne associated Press.
President Truman late Yesterday
abolished the 48-hour minimum
work week for war plants, but most
of them already had slaShed hours
with the surrender cutback of con-
tracts.
The big immediate effect of the
Presidents action will be to stir Or
ganized labor to renew its demands
for basic wage increases to offset the
reduction in take-home pay with
restoration of the 40-hour week.
The 212-year-old order, which the
President revoked, called for time
and one-half compensation for the
extra eight hours each week. and
thus its revocation represents a cut
in pay.
CIO Seeks Adjustment.
The CIO, figuring the loss of this
one day a week as reduction of 20
per cent in earnings, is asking for
genertal increases in that amount.
The CIO-auto workers already have
demanded 80 per cent raises in re-
opening contracts with Ford, Gen
eral Motors and Chrysler
Efforts to obtain higher basic pay
will be redoubled as result of the
Presidents order, CIO spokesman
said. Something on this subject
may be expected in CIO President
Philip Murray's Labor Day speeches.
The AFL has taken no overall po-
sition in favor of a specific per-
centage increase. Since the AFL
leaves bargaining on wages, ETC., to
the individual unions, its general
demand is for enough higher pay
to offset any reduced earnings re-
sulting from the shorter week.
Federal Work Covered.
The order which Mr.. Truman re-
voked declared that for the dura-
ton, no plant, factory or other
place of employment shall be
deemed to be making the most
effective utilization of its man
power if the minimum work week
there is less than 4S hours per
week"
Plants with Government contracts
were all covered by the order, and
the War Manpower Commission
applied it also to other essential
industries.
No estimate of the number of
workers still observing the 48-hour
week were availa BILE, nor of the
overall loss in pay which would
result.

u. 5. Air Supremacy
Is Vital for Peace,
Sullivan Declares

World supremacy in air power and
other technical achievements in
armaments are necessary adjunct
to American participation in assur-
Ing peace, John L. Sullivan, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy for Air, de-
clared last night.
Despite the atomic bomb. which
the United States must continue
to develop as a new weapon, he
declared ut would be folly not to
continue to maintain and improve
our present weapons with which we
won the war.
Mr.. Sullivan spoke at dinner
commemorating the SD anniversary
OF naval aviation at the Hotel Stat
Ter before a distinguished audience
of naval aviation aces and aircraft
production officials. The dinner was
sponsored by the Aero Club of Wash
ington. The program included a
broadcast from Admiral William F..
Halsey in Tokyo Bay who warned
I'VE must not forget the tragic
weaknesses of the early part of the
war"
Peace carries responsibilities, Mr..
Sullivan said, and IF America is to
be trustee of the peace in parts of
the world not hitherto noted for
paciflsm. it would be folly for Amer
lea to relax for one minute it's efforts
to maintain the military naval and
aeronautical supremacy which 1t has
won at such great cost"
Admiral Halsey, broadcasting from
his flagship, the Missouri, declared
1t was imperative that We maintain
sufficient planes in the Western Pa
ciflc to control any idea of japanese
military resurgence"
The Japanese are utterly and
cruShingly defeated" he said, and
they are under obligation to square
themselves with the rest of the world
as decent people. Until they do, the
terms of the surrender must be
carried out
The need for maintaining Ameri-
can ornaments at a high level of
effectiveness was stressed by the
other speakers-Vice Admiral Marc
A. Mitscher, chief of naval opera
tions for air; Admiral Ernest j. King.

reau OF Aeronautics, Undersecretary
