FIGHT PAY BILL
Sohricker Among Governors Due on Stand Before House Committee.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY | .Times Staff Writer i WASHINGTON, Feb, 16.—It is Governors’ Day before the House Ways. and Means Committee.
Chief executives from North .and uth ~have joined the battle to
vent Federal encroachment on|
compensation through the $300,000,000 “war con- - version” ‘bill sponsored by the Adtration.
i Under the leadership of Governor|
Harold E. Stassen, Minnesota Republican, the state witnesses will testify that they feel that the measlure, as drawn, gives the distinct \impression that the Federal officials e fighting the states instead of ncentrating on the war.
Fears War Effort Hurt
A day-long conference of the vernors and state unemployment impensation directors was held at the Shoreham Hatel yesterday. After the meeting, Governor Stassen, who is president of the National Conference of State Governors, said: “} feel that this bill will impede the ‘war effort. ‘All the people in the states want to do is help win it. What we want is more to do in the state government--not less.” © Governor Henry L. Schricker of Indiana coined a homely | Hoosier wisecrack about the matter, saying: | “If the Federal Government intends to use this war to wipe out the states, Congress should at least vote the Governors a pension.”
‘Statement by Gordon |The Indiana Governor came here
jana Unemployment Compensation Board. | “The idea that labor, either or-
measure is a myth,” Mr. Gordon | said. There has been no A. F. of L. ‘demands for it in Indiana and the | few local C: I. O. unions that have taken it up did so at the suggestion of the Washington headquarters. “Neither. the Governors nor state directors at that Shoreham meet‘ing ‘offered any great objection to ‘the Federal financing of training land travel for displaced workers. ‘But they all object to tying this thing up with unemployment com-
well.”

Another portrait for Manual’s
» 8 2
Alumni starred in the traditional parade at Manual Training High School Saturday night as hundreds returned to commemorate the 47th anniversary of the school. Characters m the performance were older ad they paused in the corridors to identify themselves in the pictures and honor rolls, to point proudly to a trophy they had helped to’ win. Halls of the old building. where classes first met on Feb, 18, 1895, echoed with the melodies that were popular in 1902, 1907, 1911, 1912, 1916, and 1922 as graduates of those years gathered for reunions.
Portrait Presented
Following a 6 o'clock dinner for more than 600 in the cafeteria, guests gathered in the auditorium where the high point of the program was the presentation of Principal E. H. Kemper McComb’s portrait, commissioned last year on his 25th anniversary as principal and his 40th year of service at Manual. Painted by Marie Goth, Manual graduate and prominent local artist, the portrait is a gift to the school
|| from the alumni association.
Arthur Smock, association head, presided at the auditorium program, which included community singing and a. patriotic finale from the Manual Girls League vaudeville.

The principal also read some of the hundreds of letters and telegrams from all parts of the country in response. to more -than 8000 invitations mailed by the registrar, Mrs. Mary J. Spiegel. Roy W. Howard, of the ScrippsHoward Newspapers, the president of The Indianapolis Times, sent greetings from Phoenix, Ariz, to his class of 1902. Many of this year’s notes came from alumni in all branches of the armed services. Mr. McComb read one letter from the father of Milo Haines, U. S. captain of Marines, at Pearl Harbor. Capt. Haines, who was a holiday scholar in Manual’s class of June ‘3. and graduated from Purdue in
| 1935, saw action in the attack on
the naval base at Hawaii. Alumni association officers for 1943 were announced at the dance, which concluded the anniversary program.

On the executive committee, Dorothy Bernd, Harold Brady and Harry Yates will assist George Joslin, Ruth Hale, Mrs. Luéy Noble Burkhart, Raymond Cassidy and Charles Menges.
HUNT MAN WHO TRIED TO ENTICE 3 GIRLS
A man who attempted to entice three small girls into his auto was hunted today by police. Mothers of the children, who live
on N, Jefferson Ave., reported to police that the man beckoned to the
rear of 55 N. Jefferson Ave. A 22-year-old woman told police that two men grabbed her.Saturday night, when she was on her way to a grocery store, shoved her into an auto and drove to the country. She resisted their advances, and they let her out of the car. Another young man in an auto picked her up and took her home, she said. Another young woman, 21, said a man grabbed her arm as she was walking near her home on N. Oxford St. She screamed and ran.

bombers—not ours—enemy planes
Somebody with an eye to getting men under cover while avoiding confusion on the top decks, signaled to the bugler to sound the alarm for a torpedo attack and a trumpet call came roaring through the ship over
the loudspeaker
system.
Nobody waited for the end to find just what sort of alarm it was—details of sound ,were lost
in the pounding feet on iron ladders and the thump of ack-ack magazines unloading on the steel decks. The battle of the atolls was finished for the reason that nothing remainded standing on them.
Our planes had
returned to their carriers and the
heavy ships now seemed incapable of the dizay adagio movement with which they had zigzagged
through the fire Mt. Cassy rode once more horizon. And we were traveling fast to teeth and the wind in our: rigging. We were well out of any Zone where we might b2 in peril of any preconceived and organized submarine attack and in a few hours we should have been free of the last of our local nui-sgnces—land-based planes.
= EJ ” Now, belatedly, they were coming in from somewhere on top of us. The lower reaches of the ship were strewn with discarded
brooms, paintbrushes and cleaning rags as a few hundred eager young men rushed back to the grim positions they had held before daylight. One lad, who until a few hours ago, had been in a turret helping fire the main battery, ran into an officer as he came scrambling up the ladder to the signal bridge. “What's your hurry?” the officer asked. “Theyre not using big guns.” The lad did not hesitate. “It’s pompoms,” he said breathlessly. “Chicago pianos. They're going to fire with them.” He streaked around a corner to some spot where he could watch this phenomenon., Even with dive-bombers; possibly the well-remembered Heinkels, on the way you still had time to think about this. Presently, we were likely to be in the most serious battle the United States Navy had ever fought save the massacre at Pearl Harbor—that it didn’t turn out that way does not change the logic of the forecast.
s ”
All Battles Are Bitter
SINCE the first British fleet moved into the Mediterranean in this war, struggles between planes and ships have been bitter, no matter which side won. This spectacular form of murder was just about to be given a fair trial by an alert United States fleet and the corner of this sprightly gob, who might presently be dead, was to get a box seat to watch the pompoms go off. Save for the turmoil of moving men aboard ship, there was no sign at all of the impending crisis—the sea blue and calm-ma-jestic men-of-war moving in ic formations as ih the drill of San Diego—the sky tufted with fleecy clouds but seemingly empty and serene, horizon to horizon. But we hadn't long to wait. The noise quieted as the men took their places about the ack-ack guns and the quickly repeated calls’ to the lookouts could be heard even against the whistling wind: “Enemy aircraft off port bow— enemy aircraft overhead.” Then, presently, the outpost of the Jap air fleet came out of a cloud. Bix planes there were, high in the path of the sin and well ahead of us to starboard. We had expected that they would be big—only big ones could get out
here from such unsmashed land |
bases as we had left to the Japs. And these fitted the gpecifications. Two looked like Douglas commercial airliners—four were something like Consolidated bombers, powerful-looking and ‘beautifully designed.

"All Fire at Once
" WHAT determined the subsequent strategy of these planes,
is something which will have to be
worked out in Japanese. Maybe the commander had not expected to see a large force fleet below him when he came out of the cloud. Maybe he thought the immediate crippling of this unit worth all -the costs. Anyway, the four largest bombers made no attempt to dodge our ack-ack in the clouds and jockey for position over a hole through which they might drop their bombs in some security. Instead, they continued to glide on at. the speed at which they were traveling when first we had seen them; glide right down into the heart of our formation. About that time the inquisitive lad on our ship saw what happened when the pompoms went off. The whole fleet apparently began to‘ fire at once—not that jou could hear anything save the bedlam tumbling down about your ears, for from closer at hand all guns were firing. The bright sky in the path of -the descending bombers seemed looped and festooned with daisy chains of tracer bullets. Still ‘the planes came on under -a full sun recklessly, magnificently and quite foolishly for if they had the luck to get through this screen of flying iron they still had the job of pulling up out of a power dive without the aid of braking flaps. And one of our aviators, just back from the morning’s wars, though that would be their chief
difficulty.
Escape Miraculous “THE WINGS will come off those things,” he said. “Too big a strain, like that, But boy, if they make it, they've got that ship col And it Jooked like it. It looked like it for an entire 20 or 30 seconds that seemed beyond all calculation of time, Squarely for the ship in the middle of the formation, they went—all four of them. It seemed impossible that any human agency could move that vast, lumbering, vulnerable man-of-war out of the way of a suicide attack such as this—the man at the wheel would not have time to throw the rudder over between sight of the squadron and the crash of bombs. After that, it seemed likely the sinking would not téke much time. But, in the Navy miracles begin back in Annapolis or some place where they cultivate quick reflexes. Somebody in that looming box over there beyond us had thrown over the wheel while his brain was still signaling the presence of Jap planes. And the ship —somebody else’s miracle—instead of starting upon a sidling movement like that of a coy ferry boat, swung around with a rush of white water on a radius almost as short as’ a destroyer at a speed that few ships in the world will ever match—and that speed, believe me, wasn't 'too much.

They were interested, for the moment, only in the bombers and with fine disregard for the dramatics of the piece, they threw thousands of slugs a minute into the path of these lads, so intent on Wecosing heroes. So, when the crash came land the waterspouts settled back, we saw one plane flatten out for a climb and rise again in a slow wobble that made his chances for return to his base look debatable. Two after him did better and climbed rapidly with the colored balls of tracers bursting along their wake.
