Shinbuider Says Salary Hiked From $32,000 to $75,600, Then Cut.

+ WASHINGTON, June 17 (U.P. y te . Members of the house naval affairs : committee yesterday sharply criti- ‘ cized one of the nation's largest * ghipyards for doubling salaries of ‘ its four ranking officials within the i ‘war period. J. F. Metten, chairman of the : board of the New York Shipbuilding 1 Co, testified that his own salary was . Increased from $32,000 to $75,000 in + the 1039-41 period and then lowered , Yo $60,000 at his own request. Similar advances were voted for . the president, vice president and | treasurer of the firm, : ' Acting committee chairman War‘ren F. Magnuson (D, Wash.) and - Rep. Ed. V. Izac (D. Cal) said the increases were unjustifiable in view of the fact that the firm’s business 1 came entirely unsolicited from the {'navy, and that. expansion of the i company was government financed. “The soldier, the farmer—evérybody—is supposed to sacrifice in . time of war,” Izac remarked, “these . executives were supposed to sacrifice, . but they didn’t sacrifice in dollars.” ww” Grant Defends Salaries . Metten said that with increased * Income and excess profits taxes, the officials really received less money after taxes than they did under their . pre-war salaries. He added the pre-war salaries were below average for the industry. ! Rep. Robert Grant (R. Ind.) de- ¢' fended Metten and told the commit- . tee that “men of this type are the sparkplug of war industry.”

Desert Raiders

Rommel's N. African Exit

CAIRO, June 13 (Delayed) (U.

P.).—The element of surprise was the most powerful weapon employed by British desert raiders, working

behind enemy lines during the 8th campaign across North

CONSTIPATED? NOT ME!

I used to be. And what would I do? I'd take a laxative or a cathartic. But unless I repeatedly dosed myself, it didn’t help for long. Then I read an ad about KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN. Said it was a breakfast cereal that got at the cause of constipation due to lack of “bulk® and’ correc it. Well, that was kind of constipation — and KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN Sure proved to be just what I needed. I eat it regularly now, drink plenty of water, and have been regular ever since, If that’s your kind of constipation, why not ALL-BRAN? Made by Ke in Battle Creek,

It was quite obvious they were get- | ting ready to go on a big show. 1..:“We just drove onto the field, in single file, and went round and round - the drome keeping up a steady fire at all the planes and

timed that they would be most useful. Once when a large allied convoy bound for Malta was reaching the danger zone, the SAS raided an axis airfield at Bagush and left over 30 bombers blazing on the ground— bombers which had just been pre-

paring to attack the convoy.

«It was very simple,” one of ihe “We just drove up to

the machine gun nests protecting them, We counted 30 flamers (burning aircraft). Many others must | have been badly damaged. We also shot up buildings and tents. The SAS lost one man on that operation.” Dropped Time Bombs

On another occasion a few Frenchmen of the SAS just walked onto an enemy airfield and strolled from plane to plane dropping time bombs in the cockpits. Then they slipped out and watched the aircraft

| explode.

The SAS raiders’ colonel, accompanied by two men, went in his staff car through the desert and onto the main costal highway, where he drove through German and Italjan traffic to Fuka. Then he swerved off the road, attacked and destroyed more than 20 planes on an enemy field, and came back by another route to allied territory. Perhaps the most important SAS operation was the time they were ordered to interrupt as far as possible axis traffic on the coast road between Tripoli and El Agheila and

to stop night traffic completely.: At|.

night until the enemy had to abandon night traffic. Every cbnvoy was attacked, its trucks riddled with machine-gun bullets and set afire When the enemy abandoned night travel, they adopted the practice of pulling off the road into “laagers” at nightfall. The SAS raiders simply charged into the laagers and shot up the stationary trucks. The operation was so successful that all night traffic was halted and when the enemy convoys moved in daylight the R.A. F. planes smashed them. When the 8th army attacked the El Agheila positions, they met little resistance and the enemy resumed. his flight toward Tripoli and, ultimately, Tunisia.
