Of Convoy.

: LONDON, Nov. 19 (U. P.)—One reason why the 850-ship allied con“voy used in the operations against French North Africa reached thell straits of Gibraltar without one vessel being seriously damaged was that British and American air forces struck at enemy submarines near their French bases, the air ministry revealed yesterday.’ The airmen were not informed! that they were protecting the convoy, and the ship’s crews were unaware of this support. Sunderland flying boats and Liberator, Halifax, Wellington, Hudson | and Whitely bombers pounced on| the U-hoats as they headed out to sea and “some good attacks were recorded,” the air ministry said. In line with its policy, the ministry did not disclose the number of submarines sunk or damaged.

nearly every comm»dity. He said that this year, through selective service of crops and through conservation, farmers have more than doubled the production increase of those four years from 1914-18.

In comparing farm production with that of world war I, Mr. Townsend said that “this time we are fighting a planned battle. We can afford to because we are organized. “In one year we have increased agricultural output 12 per cent above last year’s record peak. And we are getting the right amounts of each product, not just haphazard increases of anything and everything.”

‘Tried _and Tested’

Mr. Townsend explained that the organization of which he has been appointed administrator was set up a week after Pearl Harbor when the department of agriculture was streamlined for war duty. At that time, the Triple-A, the soil conservation service, the federal crop insurance corporation and the sugar agency were grouped together under the supervision and direction of the administrator of the ACAA. “The only new thing about the ACAA, however, is the alphabetical grouping,” “Everyone of these four agencies is tried and tested. Everyone of them was tested by farmers after long, hard work and everyone has been operating for several years.” Mr. Townsend emphasized that the programs carried out by these four agencies in the ACAA are the hub of the whole agricultural war campaign,

Meet Production Goals

He said that next year the selective service idea in farming would be carried out even more effectively. “The ‘'TFriple-A program for 1943 provides for the strongest possible support for all-out farm production to meet war requirements. Full AAA rayments will be earned ‘only by meeting production goals—goals that will help us win the war,” he said. “This year there were control proVisions on only a few basic crops,” Mr. Townsend said. “Next year the farm goals for all crops will be under a kind of war production contract between the farmer and the United States government.” Mr. Townsend said that when we write the peace on the basis of the four freedoms at the end of this war, we can achieve something that is new to the entire world. That is freedom from want, from poverty, from squalor—the last of the four freedoms.

‘Freedom From Want’

“Now, for the first time, freedom from want is possible,” he said. “Now, for the first time, we can produce enough to go around.”

Townsend Says

He warned that if we are to go on to this new horizon, we cannot go alone. “The world has become so small that every nation in it is the next door neighbor of every other nation. Because of that fact we have to change our thinking. Most of us have changed it already. Isolationism is finally and" completely dead.” Mr. Townsend said that when the war is over, the farm program makes the job of cenverting from wartime to peace-time economy easier. “I say in all sincerity that our best single ‘assurance for a happy future is the national farm program. It we keep it, co-operate with each other through .it, we can and will reach the ideal of full production and abundant consumption in peace time.”

CRIPPLED PLANE SAVES A LIFE

Transport Supplies Oxygen For Dying Child of “Missionary. WITH THE AMERICAN AIR FORCE IN CHINA, Nov. 19 (U. P.) —An American transport plarie, forced down at 20,000 feet elevation in the rugged Tibetan mountains, arrived in time to supply oxygen to save the life of a missionary's daughter, it was disclosed here. Lieut. Lloyd N. Aronson, Norwalk, Conn., pilot of the transport, was convinced death awaited him and his crew when the. plane developed engine troukle over one of the worst stretches of mountain terrain on the India-China route. Lieut. Aronson made a successful landing, however, on a dry creek bed intended as an emergency field. Nearby he found Harry Fisher, British world war veteran and the former

48 Hours to Live

Chinese doctors had just informed the Andrews that their 12-months-old daughter, Faithon, would die within 48 hours of bronchial pneumonia, unless she were given oxygen. It would have taken weeks to bring oxygen to the mission by horseback from the nearest modern Chinese hospital,

Lieut. Aronson and his co-pilot, Lieut. Bruce Merchbaum, Akron, removed their oxygen equipment from the plane. They found their masks were too large for the child, so they made an emergency ma™ from a tin funnel. The two Americans attended the Fisher child constantly for four days using their oxygen sparingly. The baby revived and recovered.

Keep Constant Vigil

During this time the crew also was forced to keep a 24-hour guard about the plane, since Tibetan tribal chieftains insisted on inspecting it. Lieut. Aronson, Lieut. Kerchbaum and Pvt. Murray Lander, Bronx, N. Y,, alternated in guarding the plane. The transport’s wheels bogged down on the river bed while Lieut. Aronson taxied about the field. Another American transport, bringing necessary parts for Lieut. Aronson’s plane, also bogged down on the same landing strip. The planes were freed after most of the cargo was removed. About two weeks after his forced landing, Lieut. Aronson made a successful

Friendly Natives in Algeria Helped Speed Landing of Allies

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

ALGIERS, Nov, 19.—(Via London—Delayed) —Anglo-American occupation of Algeria went like greased lightning, It might have gone like molasses in January and it might not have gone at all. - We are basking in the sun in Algiers today watching a great con-

voy of troops and equipment being]

unloaded, not because we were so

darned clever, or because our troops fought so well but because we had friends in the right places, had the luck of the devil and, as Americans, were regarded by most people in Algeria as good friends. Any self-congratulation should be concentrated on the fact that our boys fought beautifully with what they had whenever they met resistance. and that we got such a friendly reception from the people themselves. We have had our experience now

and it should do us good. Our difficulties were largely due to the inherent toughness of the job of landing at night on strange shores. Our commanding general, Maj. Gen, Charles W. Ryder, certainly is an alert and exiremely capable man. Most of his colonels are also crack and smart soldiers. It’s 10 to one that we’ll beat the tar out of the Germans when we meet them in Tripolitania. Something deserves to be said of Algiers, We picked one of the

most beautiful spots on earth to occupy. Lying up on the side of a great, azure-blue bay, basking in the warmth of the African sun, it’s like heaven to men who sailed from a cold, rainy port in England weeks ago. Some things are scarce in Algiers but after England it is a land of plenty. There is no butter and no milk but there are great, whopping oranges, which we lacked in England and there is French cooking and excellent wine.
