Fouind
Alive
; Spent Three
Weeks Asea
Aboard Raft
By RICHARD L. TURNER
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 j
iff3) Eddie Rickenbacker, the
man who always comes back,
has done it again rescued by a
big navy, Catalina flying boat
after three perilous weeks
adrift in a tiny rubber raft orf
the broad expanse of the South
Pacific.
The navy; announced the fes
cue ' Saturday, adding that . : all
seven of the airmen who, with
Rickenbacker, were forced down
by an empty 'gas tank October 21,
had nowbeen accounted for. But
one, Set. Alexander Kaczmar
exyk, died on the raft and was
buried at sea.
With the celebrated" World war
flying ace on the raft were col.
Hans C. Adamson and Pvt. John
F. Bartek. It was they who
watched Kaczmarczyk succumb
to exposure and hardship. It was
they who buried him.
. Three more of the Rickenback
er party Lt. James C. Whiteaker,
Lt. John J. De Angelis and staff
Sgt. James Reynolds, were found
on a small island in the South
Pacific.
- The rescue at sea of Capt.
William Cherry, the pilot of
; Rickenbacker's plane, was an
noanced Friday. Thus, the roll
call of the group was complete.
Rickenbacker, 52 years ? old,
with another of his many close
brushes with death safely behind
him, was reported in good condi
tion, as was Adamson. Bartek'a
condition was serious but he was
expected to recover. .
The condition of the men found
on the island was not reported
immediately. A naval medical of
ficer was flown to their speck of
land at once and all will be re
turned to a specific naval base.
Poll Taxers
Filibuster
Senators Arrested
. To Raise Quorum; !
r Order Attacked
WASHINGTON, Nov, 14 -(P)
- By the unusual expedient of or
dering its sergeant of arms to
arrest absentee members, the
senate summoned a quorum Sat
urday f or a filibustering discus
sion of the - measure to abolish
state poll taxes as a prerequisite
for voting in federal elections. f
For three hours and 42 min
utes after it convened at noon,
a minority of, the senate : sat
twiddling thumbs while Ineffec
tual ; attempts were made to ob
tain a quorum of 49.
Finally, after an hour and a
half of waiting had produced only
44 members. Democratic Leader
Barkley of Kentucky moved to
instruct Vice President Wallace
to issue warrants for the arrest
of all absentees who could be lo
cated in the District of Columbia.
It was more thtn two hours lat
er that McKellar, placed under
technical arrest af his apartment
In a downtown hotel, walked into
the chamber to make the 49th
senator recorded present. ' . j ;
Senator Bilbo (D-Miss), who
' told reporters he thought he was
good for 80 days of talk if it was
necessary to speak that long to
kill the bill, immediately 'took the
"floor with a defense of the prom
ised leigthy debate. ;
-' Bilbo spoke about two "hours
and then the senate quit for the
day. Before it adjourned. Bark
ley called on senate employes , to
inform senators they were need
ed: in Washington and to return
from their homes. " !
Because the senate adjourned
Instead of" recessing, the anti-poll
tax measure reverted to its status
of Friday, when Barkley original
ly moved to bring it up. Thus it
was open to a new attack on a
point of order such as that over
ruled Friday when Senator La
follette (Prog-Wis), presiding,
held that it had been properly
reported by the judiciary com
mittee. Another effect was to deny Bil
bo any special privilege in at
tempts to obtain the floor Monday.

P The jaws of an allied pin
cers closed tighter on the hard
pressed Japanese in New Guin
ea '. Saturday as .. Australians
smashed northeastward to seize
an important Kumusi river cross
ing and Americans advanced from
toward Buna, j -
the south through a swamp jungle
While the ground forces- of 'the
southwest Pacific command were
relentlessly driving the enemy
toward his vital beachhead at
Buna, General MacArthur's Fly
ing Fortresses reached out north
west to deliver a low level bomb
ing and strafing attack on a Jap
anese convoy.
The American advance on Buna
was being aided by fresh troops
flown over the Owen Stanley
mountains to the battle scene in
aerial transport, the high com
mand reported.
The rapid advance, made pos
sible by the recent encirclement
and complete destruction of more
than 500 Japs at Oivi and Gorari,
represented - the' allies' . first bid
for a major foothold on the north
coast a step toward running the
Japs out of all New Guinea.
' 1 On the aerial war front, Mae
Arthor's bombers struck in tke
Solomons at an enemy convoy
off New Guinea island, presum
ably moving on American-held
Gvadaleanal to the aoatbeast. A
heavily loaded transport of 12,-
C00 tons was - set ; a blase - by
bombers which - dropped their
lethal loads from low altitude
despite anti-aircraft fire.
(This news of the Jap convoy
came while reports from Wash

port followed the successful

WENATCHEE, Wash, Nov. 14
(iff)- Lt. Col. James T. Coats
worth, from fthe office of Gen.
Louis B. Hershey, selective serv
ice national ; director, Saturday
told the National Grange general
convention session here that the
nation's manpower bucket is leak
ing fast. h-
"Everything points to universal
conscription of labor,": he said.
"Apparently everyone would like
to see universal service for the
other fellow, but when it would
strike him he wouldn't like it.
"Such a plan would not only
hit the worker, ; because the em
ployer would; be told whom he
could hire, and if he didn't like
a certain worker he would be
stuck with him. .til:;
"There are several bills on the
subject up for consideration now,
but they are 'loaded with dyna
mite." He - told , the grangers hard
pressed for farm Workers, their
problema were r reeetvug eon

pect definite relief from the
policies now beinx put Into ef
fect throughout the nation. But,
he said, ' farmers win have to
tighten their, belts still further
In the battle of manpower,
t "We're responsible for less than
30 per cent of the men leaving
the farms," he said. "Most of
-them went into industry where
wages are high.
"The three s men on the local
draft board are the ones determ
ining who 1 should ;go into the
army. There are bound to be
some criticisms. Selective service
must take some farm boys, other

By the Associated Press
American and Japanese fleets
battled for supremacy in the
warm Pacific ' waters around
the Solomon islands Saturday
night. Ships of the rising sun
and the stars and stripes had
been lost, but the! navy depart
ment gave no details of the
series of sea engagements still
continuing. To . announce ' details
now would furnish the Japanese
information of definite value, a
communique said. ;.t , t x
In view of 'fantastic Japanese
claims' in the past,' there was no
reason to believe j Tokyo braod
casts that six allied cruisers and
a destroyer had been sunk and
that two cruisers !5nd three de
stroyers were damaged heavily.
Tokyo' put its own losses at two
destroyers sunk and a battleship
damaged. Three transports were
set afire in the fight the Japanese
started, the Japanese said.
Both sides agreed that the bat
tle which started Wednesday
(Thursday, East Longitude . time)
night .was continuing. Opposing
ships seemed , deployed over wide
areas fighting individual- group
battles rather than a single mass
slugging match.
The fight at sea; overshadowed
the struggle on Guadalcanal where
US 'marines and ' soldiers were
fighting against.; reinforced Nip-'
ponese forces, intent upon retak
ing Henderson field. -
The naval ! engagements in the
Pacific apparently began when the
enemy challenged American ships
bombarding Japanese positions on
Guadalcanal. The heavy cruiser
San Francisco and - the destroyer
Buchanan were damaged then,' the
San Francisco only .slightly.
