Our eyes were straining into the star-reflecting waters.. "There she is!" someone whispered. "Look! On our starboard!" From the darkness we saw emerging a slim black shadowy ship. Hands reached out to help us across and down a narrow wet gang plank. . 'Good-bye and good luck" came across the water from the men i on the Mary Ann. We said farewell. We went down two narrow round hatchways, through the con ning tower and the control room. We were moving! There was a slight motion. A young officer mo tioned our party down the narrow passage. Along each side were three tiny cabins, the largest of which was the wardroom, a compact little room which seated eight people ' at mealtimes, slept three people at night, and had two canvas folding chairs, a built-in library on one wall, a radio speaker and two wall ' tans on the other. Next to this was a tiny galley. Directly across from the galley was the submarine's shower bathroom, which I called the "execution chamber." A young officer escorted the four women of our party into this tiny cell of horrors and explained sanitary arrangements. "It is quite simple," he assured "us. n.

McARTHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS, Australia, Sunday, Aug. 30-(P)-Japanese reinforce ments were reportedi-today to have reached Milne Bay, where a heavy battle between Austral ians and invading Japanese sol diers roared into t its fifth day, while up the coast fresh fight ing broke out in the Kokoda area and in the Lae-Salamaua sector of New Guinea. This was the first report in some time of land fighting in the Lae- Salamaua area, which is about 400 miles northwest of Milne bay and about 180 miles northwest of Kokoda. A comuniqne said a Japanese cruiser and eight destroyers, taking advantage of bad fly ins; weather, entered Milne bay last night and may have landed some troops. At any rate. It was said, ground fighting In this sector continued "with no de cisive results." "Our planes are cooperating with the ground forces and have inflicted heavy damage and cas ualties," the communique said. An enemy destroyer was spotted despite the haze of bad weather and was attacked, probably dam aged. The fighting in the Kokoda ar ea, near Buna, was described as enemy thrusts, all of which were said to have been repulsed. In the Lae-Salamaua sector, the land fighting was confined to outpost clashes. Air activity was extensive, with allied bombing attacks on such widely separated places as the Dutch island of Amboina.

Details of the plan were not ready for publication but there were reports that the Senate Fin ance Committee would be asked next week to increase by at least $1,500,000,000 the $8,137,000,000 which would be taken from indi viduals in taxes under terms of the new revenue bill already approved by the house. Conjecture centered around a form of gross income tax, possibly levied at the source, which would tap a field of $36,000,000,000 in an nual income which some commit tee members contend would not be reached by the bill as it stands. There was some indication al so that a system or post-war savings for individuals through bond purchases might be com bined with the proposed new levy.

Further, he asserted, Japan has declined even to furnish the Red Cross with a list of the names and addresses of its prisoners. Both , refusals Da via charged, were violations of the internation al treaty covering such situations, violationsr made the more pointed by the fact that both Germany and Italy have facilitated the shipment of food, clothing and medical' supplies to American prisoners ia thoae countries, i , Japan, he said, did permit such shipments on vaele which have- exchanged ' American - and -; Japa nese nationals.

Furthermore, , the Japa nese proposal of using cargo space in exchange ships will not pro vide for the maintenance of ' a continuous flow of prisoners re lief as contemplated by the treaty.
