Picked Guerrilla Unit OF Strikes in Nation

The part played by a picked group

its activities as weather observers
and ended as guerrillas and intel

According to the Navy, the group
now known as SACO-Sino-A Amer

Dor as a weather reporting unit.
The project grew until the men
were providing the fleet, the Army S
14th Air Force and the Chinese and
American Army headquarters with
weather reports and intelligence on
movement of Jap ships, troops and
supplies.
Finally they became a dangerous
fighting outfit, killing Japs, blowing
up trains and raiding enemy out
posts. Their activities extended all

Gopi Desert.
AS a result of their activities,
SACO Americans became adept at
Chinese disguises and, guided by

didate for the County Board, and
Eugene Beard, independent candi-
date for the House of Delegates,
opposed the move.

benefit, while Mr.. Beard gave no
reason for his opposition.

ditional opening of county political

Locher and Mr.. Bates. said: I'm
my opinion these criticisms do not
constitute a fair analysis of the
bill"
Senator Burton declared one OF
the prime objectives of the COM
promise bill was to provide housing
for those in the lowest income
groups. He pointed out one of the
major faults of the old District
Alley Dwelling Act was that 1t
failed to do this.
Answers Criticisms.
Answering criticisms by Mr.. Bates
and Mr.. Locher that this would not
be accomplished because low rent
housing was defined as homes rent
ing for $13 a month, not counting
cost of utilities, Senator Burton ex-
planned this figure was stated in the
bill as the maximum" that could be
charged. Therefore, he said, it is
implicit in the bill that rents lower
than such a maximum would be
ordered, to fit the needs of the low
income families.
"The agencies involved" he said
most certainly would have the re-
sponsibility of fixing rents in this
field to meet the demonstrated re-
quirements. That was our purpose. u
He said. he could see no reason
why action on the specific District
bill should be held up until Con-
gress adopted national program
for housing and slum redevelop-
ment. Denying haste" in action
he cited the months devoted by the
subcommittee he headed to personal
inspection Of blighted areas and
public and private low-cost hous-
ing here, and the near six months
of public hearings on the problem.
