SWIMMING TO CATALINA
By DOB HOPE.

I see some swimer. tried to swim the channel to Catalina Is- land. He had to give up. because the outboard motor in the launch drove him crazy. Ever since that Cement Mixer" song got popu- lar, it's been going Putt, Putt, Putii, Putti."
 Of course, I heard another ru- nor why he had. to quit. He had listened to so many radio pro- grams, he tried to swim 1t side ways.
 I can't understand why any body would want to swim to Cat alma Island. I've seen that water off the California coast. . Its much simpler to walk it.
 A couple of sharks saw the grease covered swimmer and one said to the other, 'Egad, Charlie, now they come with shortening on 'em. all ready for broil- ing!"
 I'm really Q great natural swimmer and can practically live in water. Yessir, I once got some fog on my glasses and my left eye lid developed a cramp.

at a special meeting of the State Federation of Labor's Executive Council on Monday afternoon. In the absence of Leon Zwicker, re- gional director of the United Con- struction workers, United Mine Workers of America, because of his mothers death, Harry Fried son and Walter Brock of the Un- ion appeared before the Council to report on the latest develop ments in the Norwalk Tire situa- ton.
 Brock related that he had re- quested Police Sergeant Edward Rooney to observe the unsafe condition of heavily overloaded truck" but that the Norwalk po- lice officer who admitted, accord ing to Brock, that he was on the company'S payroll at the time, de clined to act. Instead, he arrested the Union organizer, allegedly for breach of the peace"
 By unanimous vote, the Execu- tive Council went on record to continue the full moral and fin sncial support of the Connecticut Federation of Labor to the United Construction Workers in it's dis pute with the Norwalk Tire and Rubber Go. and to call upon all affiliated organizations to intenSi- fly their efforts in cooperating with the Union.

 that a complaint regarding this con- dition had been lodged with the Commanding Officer of the State Police barracks at Westport and that he refused to send police de- tail to investigate the complaint. h. stead, the union representative who made the complaint was informed that if trucks and passenger cars were found along state highways in the regular course of police pa- trol to be in violation of the law, they would be acted against.
 Union officials, Rourke further declared, had reported 'that many trucks from Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island that pick up tires at the plant referred to are violat- ing the law in many other respects. For example, vehicles have been found operating without rehectors or flares, proper signal lights, in- dication of weight capacity, names of the owners or plates required by the Public Utility Commission or the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. Dump and cattle trucks, with out proper markings, also are be- ing used to carry finished products.

(ComtinHed from Page Three)

 The last four torpedoes in the forward tubes were fired with very gratifying results; three hits dis integrated the nearer target while the fourth made solid contact with the other target. The escort inn mediately began firing his deck gun and dropping depth charges at random while the Gabilan evad- ed amidst breaking up noises from the second freighter.
 The Gabilan was ordered to Su- bic Bay for reload of fuel and torpedoes, voyage repairs and a quick rest, then to make a short extension of the fifth patrol off the coast of Hainan. Junks, friendly and enemy aircraft were the only contacts made in this area. Sev- eral drifting mines were exploded by rife fire. The patrol was ter minated and the Gabilan returned to Pearl via Saipan. The Gabilan was scheduled for overhaul and return to the States at this time but that was postponed in favor of making another patrol.
 After the fifth refit at Pearl from g May to 20 June, the Ga bilan departed on her sixth and last patrol of the war, stopping at Midway to top off on fuel. Her duties on this patrol consisted al- most entirely of lifeguard duties for carriers, B-29 and Mustang fighter strikes on Honshu in the Tokyo area. En route to station a Japanese hospital ship was con- tacted and allowed to pass; her position, course and speed were reported and later boarded by one of our destroyers and determined to be hospital ship on it's way to take relief to the exhausted and starving Japanese garrison on Wake.
 Japanese subs had been very ac- tive in the waters about Tokyo OO At w Wd0 ACS1ACA CO ObQJ merged except at night and dur ing the times of air strikes One Japanese sub was contacted one evening just before surfacing and an approach made on him. The torpedoes missed, and since it was, dark, the Gabilan surfaced and attempted to track and make another approach. Unfortunately, the Jap became aware of his be- ing tracked and dove There was no alternative for the Gabilan but to clear the area.
 The first opportunity for rem dering lifeguard services was dur ing a fighter strike over Tokyo. One pilot bailed out above the sub marine and was aboard nine min utes after he left his plane. An other pilot bailed out well within
