To Russians !
LONDON, Jan. l-fly-Convoys
to Russia are running on a 'reg
ular timetable" - despite all Ger
man efforts and nazi capital ships
have been contained' harmlessly
during the year, the royal navy
review for 1942 said Friday.-
The bitterest convoy r fighting
occurred on the north Russia
and Malta, runs, but the navy
proudly declared:
"In effect ( we have said: We
are going to run this ; convoy
through and be damned to you.' "
In a complimentary review,
United States naval headquar
ters In London declared that the
US navy "has come back fight
ing since Pearl Harbor.
'Today, the United States holds
Guadalcanal," the review noted.
A US spokesman said that this,
with American-Australian gains
in New Guinea, would open the
way for progressive assault on
Japan itself.
The royal navy's review was
in matter-of-fact language. It was
a report filled with confidence
and' with stories of intense air
and surface fights and dogged
persistence on the seven seas by
the allied navies.
Allied submarines during the
year "have sunk or probably sunk
106 supply ship, the British
said. "Of these 35 have been
sunk or probably sunk and 20
have been damaged in the Med
iterranean during the last three
months.
The royal navy noted that
German capital ships, particn
." larly the 35.000-ton battleship
: TlrpltK, which has remained in
: Norwegian waters ' since Jan
uary, and they battleships
fScharnhorst . and Gnelsenao,
' which escaped from Brest to
vthe Baltic sea, have been "con
tained with superior forces.
They were prevented from dis
puting our control in the home
waters, on the Russian convoy
route, and in the Atlantic, the
review declared.

they had received assurance mat
"the California AFL unions will
be solidly with us" in a protest
to , the war labor board against
the Boeing pay Increase schedule
recommended by its special air-
crait representative. , i
The increase recommended by
Paul R. Porter, the board's sta
bilization representative for the
aircraft industry,, was 2 cents
an hour, for beginners and 7 cents
an hour for the 'base- pay level
after 16 weeks of work. The re
commended increases would put
the hiring-in, or training, scale
at 65 cents an hour and the base
pay after 16 weeks at -65 cents.
The Aeronautical Mechanics'
union (AFL) has been insisting
on a 95-cent scale for both hiring-in
and for the 16-week base.;
Harold J. Gibson, union busi
ness agent, said he would leave
for . Washington immediately to
join Union President Gary Cot
ton in pressing the case before

Gibson declared that the un
ion's first interest is In produc
tion, but the pay scale , at the
Boeing plant, far below the 95
cent hiring-in scale of shipyards
here, is resulitng In an inefficient
turnover of labor.

commended wage Increases tc put
