Organizers Charge Lewis ‘Seeks Destruction Of C. I. 0.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 6 (U. P.) —Regional organizers of the ‘United Mine Workers of America, charging angrily that John L. Lewis {is “determined to destroy the C. I. ~ 0., tendered their resignations to“day and urged local unions in the South now affiliated with Lewis’ District 50 to return their charters. ' Bernard Borah, regional director of the U. M. W. here, led the revolt, and was supported by four organizers. He said he was advising. all local unions in the South to support

Philip Murray, C. I. O. president, who was ousted from his job as president of the U. M. W. by Lewis . after a bitter personal row. “Lewis is motivated by personal . ambition and an unwillingness to support President Roosevelt realistically,” Borah stated in a letter to Kathryn Lewis, the U. M. W. leader’'s daughter, who is secretary of the far-flung miners’ organization. Assails Lewis Policy The letter, which included his own resignation and those of the organizers, stated that he believed the policy followed by Lewis was “contrary to the interests of the nation and ‘can only result in interference with the war effort.” He said Murray’s only offense as C. 1. O. president and U. M. W. vice president was that “he faithfully upheld the nation’s war program and built a united C. I. O. of 5,000,000 members,

MELBOURNE, July 6.—(Austral= ian Broadcast Recorded by U. P. at San PFPrancisco)—A U. S. B-25

bomber was in the thick of a hot fight with Japanese zeros over an island near New Guinea. The bomber became crippled by the jamming of its elevators. The zeros kept coming. Lieut. Leonard A. Hines, medical officer of the squadron involved in the raid, now tells how two U. S. army sergeants frustrated the zeros and saved the B-25 long enough for a crash landing which meant the survival of its crew. When the B-25s elevators became jammed by its lift raft which had been released by a lucky shot from

FRENCH RAIL MEN BALK AT NAZI JOBS

Dangle From Plane by Legs To Keep It

Aloft in Battle

an enemy plane, the bomber was helpless because it couldn’t rise. Under heavy fire from zeros coming in for the kill, the sergeants, identified only as Pryor and Tyler, cut a hole in the fuselage. . Then one held the other's legs while he leaned -out among the bullets and held a long rod against the elevators. It worked. Tyler

and Pryor took turns hanging by

their heels and holding the rod until the zeros gave up the chase. With other members of its crew running into the tail at intervals to keep it from nosing into the sea, the B-25 held out long enough to permit a crash landing on a coral reef where the crewmen spent a month before they were rescued.

|Laden With Souvenirs Like

Tourists After 40 Days In ‘Green Hell.’

‘United Press Staff Correspondent

July 6.—Arms laden with souvenirs | —grass skirts, bracelets, native weapons — two American airmen have returned from 40 days in New Guinea's jungle hell like a couple of tourists back from a visit to Chinatown. They were Lieut. W. E. Dickinson of Minnesota and Sergt. James Webb, 28-year-old bombardier from Orange, Tex., who returned ‘to this advanced air base after their medium bomber was shot down by six Japanese Zero fighters ‘while the American plane was returning from a successful raid on Lae. Parachuting down, they became separated. Webb landed in a swamp, through which he wandered for four days with little to eat while mosquitoes feasted on him. He came out of the swamp into thick jungle, ‘through which he trudged for another two weeks before he met Lieut. Dickinson, who had been injured.

“Lucky Shot Got Us”

“Everything went fine in the early stage of the raid,” Webb said. “I dumped our bombs over the target and I think we caused substantial damage. “Our gunners though were kept busy by a lope Zero which stubbornly kept after us. He finally got under us and put a cannon burst into our wing. “Then about 10 minutes later, six Zeros attacked. We battled them several minutes that seemed like hours. A lucky shot got our left Another cannon shell exploded in the cockpit.

Mosquitoes Almost Won

“I felt the plane quiver, then when it started to zigzag I crawled from the nose through the tunnel to the cockpit where I discovered the co-pilot and the crew chief had been killed by the explosion. “Lieut. Dickinson had a nasty shrapnel wound in his left arm. He told me to bail out. I jumped and saw Dickinson follow me. Then the plane crashed far away in ' the jungle.” Webb’s parachute fouled on a tree and he was left suspended 15 feet over the swamp until he cut the parachute straps with his pocket knife. “The mosquitoes gave me hell in the swamp,” he said. “I had nothing to eat except unsweetened chocolate. I was ready to give up to anything, even the Nips.”

Just Dance, Not Warpath

While wandering alone through the jungle, Webb stumbled into a village where the natives wete wildly painted with “some sort of white lead.” “They. did not look very friendly,” Webb continued, “so I started back. Then I found out they were going to hold a dance and weren't on the warpath after all.” Dickinson in the hospital where X-rays were taken to determine whether the arm healed) properly during the jungle journey.

DEBATE BEGINS ON INDIA INDEPENDENCE

NEW DELHI, July 6—To the accompaniment of embarrassing acclaim from axis radio commentators, leaders of the India National congress are due to begin deliberations today on plans for a new and perhaps decisive showdown with the British on. the issues of Indian independence. Members of the standing committee of the congress have converged on the central Indian town -of Wardha for their deliberation. Wardha happens to be the headquarters of Mohandas K. Ghandi, whose grip on the congress is still so strong that his views are certain to prevail. It may safely be assumed that in the end Gandhj will authorize and carry out any movement which may be decided upon. Gandhi's attitude lately has become progressively more moderate on the matter of the presence of British and American forces in India. However, he has weakened not one whit on his stand that. the for-

government is a necessity prerequisite to congress co-operation in the allied war effort.

NELSON TO VISIT ENGLAND . WASHINGTON, July 6 (U. P.).— War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson said today he hopes to make a visit to Great Britain but that no date has been set. He said he wanted to repay the visit made by British production head Oliver Lyttleton and to discuss production problems and plans for better co-ordina-tion of the output of the two nations.
