American planes need the aird:ome and they heed: it badly. Lieut. James W. Darroch and six men have gone up to the net in a small bo:! and weakened it with wire cutters. Now Steve is ready to make his third run.

Boidy to Ram Net .

“We're ;10ing to ram the net,” he messages Admiral Monroe Kelly, who is wailing on the flagship outside the rier mouth, Now his ship is in the Sebu river and is caiching hell from machine . gunners ari riflemen on both banks. “We're ling fired on and have returned ti» fire,” Steve messages. The ship's keel begins to scrape bottom. A month ago Steve had been order: to lighten the ship by getting ric of everything except essentials, ut the river still is so shallow tha the engines threaten to pound thro zh the sides.

“Old lady” Makes It

“The engine room called up and said we wer turning at near full speed,” said Lieut. John Ferguson, executive oTicer. “I looked over the side anc we were barely moving. All tho time the enemy was shooting at 1% and we were crawling on our lly through the mud with the oli lady threatening to stop for goo: in the middle of the stream.” The old lac ‘made it, though. She plowed on Up to where some troops, tired 2nd hip-deep in mud, were trying to attack the north side of the airfiel<i.. Some of them had lost their helmets and guns in the| mud and the were getting ready to go back $0 their rubber. boats when the old !ady sailed into view. “Hell, men, ‘lere’s the navy,” one of the soldiers relled. “If they can -do it, we can.’ ~ The soldiers turned back for another try at :ifacking the airport. At the same (ime Steve sent his . raiders, heade: by Lieut. Quentin Hardige of Madden, Mass., over the side on cargo cts into tiny rubber boats.

Seventy-four years ago Rose ant Magdalena Marien got off the train at Union station here and skipped along the muddy streets as their mother and father stood stranded with the baggage. Then as today Rose is 10 minutes older than Magdalena, “but after 80 years it really doesn’t make much difference,” said Mrs. Rose Marien Halbleib today as she and her sister prepared to celebrate their 80th birthday Monday. Mrs. Halbleib makes her home with a daughter Mrs. George Zix, 323 N. Keystone ave., while her sister, Mrs. Magdalena Marien Bany, lives with one of her daughters, Mrs. Ralph Alerding of 544 N. Tacoma ave. Moving to Indianapolis from North Vernon when they were six, the twin sisters have lived here ever since. “And I certainly don’t want to leave. I like it here,” said Mrs. Bany. “When we were old enough to hold a needle,” she continued, “mother taught us how to do tailoring. I wouldn't be surprised if both Rose and I made most of the clothes for our whole families.” Mrs. Bany had just left the kitchen stove and had taken up a rug she is weaving when the reporter called.

MILLION JEWS SLAIN BY NAZIS IN POLAND

NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (U. P.).—At least 1,000,000 Polish Jews have been iexecuted in the “human slaughter houses” set up by the Nazis in Poland, it was asserted yesterday by Dr. Henryk Strasburger, finance minister of the Polish government in exile. In an Interview on his’ arrival here from London, Dr. Strasburger said that men, ‘women and children are put to death by technical means, including electrocution and lethal gas. Describing the mass killings, he said: : “The victims are ordered to strip naked ‘to have a bath.’ They are then led to a barrack with a metal floor. The door is locked and the current turned on. ‘They die in agony. When the current is turned off, the bodies are loaded on cars and dumped into a mass grave. “Poles are also packed into locked freight ‘cars, 50 or 60 in a car and long trains of these cars are driven into the country and left on sidings where the people in them are left to die.” Strasburger said that in addition to the million Polish Jews mentioned, 200,000 Poles have been executed, another 200,000 murdered, and innumerable others starved to death or allowed to die of disease.

Marriage Poll Confuses WPB

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (U.P.), —The war production board, always hungry for information, turned four question-askers loose

in the marriage license bureau here. Today the WPB knew that: 1. Marriage in wartime may not be all bliss and gaiety, '2. A girl faced with the prospect of saying “I do” and ‘“goodby darling” in almost theesame breath doesn’t quite know whether to laugh or cry. 3. A year from now, in the words of a young 1-A, is “a long time Ly The WPB didn’t go after precisely those bits of knowledge, but it got them anyway. What the WPB really wanted, and still is trying to get, was information .about living arrangements of prospective couples—information that would be helpful in determining material allocations to manufacturers of household goods.

Farm Officials Places Loss Of 3 Danville Buildings At $70,000.

Fire destroyed the three buildings of the Hendricks County Farm Bureau Co-operative Association, Inc.,

in Danville early today. The loss was estimated at $70,000. Thousands watched firemen from Indianapolis, Plainfield and Danville and auxiliary fire-fighting companies from Hendricks county battle the flames. They succeeded in preventing the fire from spreading to a five-story mill elevator and 100 drums of soybean oil stacked near the burning buildings. A two-and-one-half-story mill and seed plant, one-story soybean extraction plant and one-story feed warehouse were destroyed. Three carloads of coal piled alongside the Big Four railroad tracks near the buildings caught fire, but slight

:. | damage resulted.

Valuable Machines Lost

The cause of the fire was believed to be spontaneous combustion or defective wiring. Ed Davis, manager and president of the association, said new machinery purchased last summer for the soybean extraction company, and valued at $55,000 was a total loss and could not be replaced. The loss of the three buildings and contents was estimated at $15,000. Battalion Chief Frank Braun of the Indianapolis’ fire department and six men from pumper company 7, Alabama and New York sts., answered the call. Battalion Chief Braun praised the work of the volunteer fire fighters as well as the firemen from Plainfield and Danville,

WAGES AT PEAK,

Agriculture and Labor Share Record Income,

Henderson Says.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (U, P.). —Price Administrator Leon Henderson ‘said today that wartime controls over the cost of living assure

most favorable economic position in

In his second quarterly report to congress covering the period from the issuance of the general maximum price regulation on April 28 to Aug. 1 and estimates of farm income up to the end of 1942, Henderson presented publicly for the first time detailed economic data revealing the high levels at which farm prices and wages are being stabilized. He estimated farm income, including government benefit payments, at $15,600,000,000 for 1942, which is 79.3 per cent above 1938. Net income of farm operators after all expenses are paid, is expected to reach $9,800,000,000, an increase of $5,300,000,000 or 118 per cent over 1939. “The level of net farm income is the highest in history,” Henderson said. “It éxceeds by a full billion the income earhed by farmers in e fabulous year of 1919, and every dollar of this income buys vastly more than it did in that year.” Average Earnings Up Turning to labor, Henderson said average hourly earnings in May in manufacturing industries were 31 per cent above the level of August, 1939. Allowing for increases in the cost of living, they were up 11.5 per cent. Weekly earnings in May were up 53 per cent from the August, 1939, level and up 30 per cent after making allowance for the rise in the cost of living. Henderson said inflationary pressures “of the most serious character and dimensions” had threatened price ceilings and the stabilization program at the close of the quarter, but that “great harmony has been made” since then in antiinflation efforts. “Our grip on the cost of living, which was slipping, is now firm and there is every reason for confidence in our ability to achieve economic stabilization for the duration,” he said.
