By United Press American ea nnd air forces destroyed or damaged 41 Japa nese ships and 107 planes in sweeping raids that included a four-day bombardment of the Bo nin and Volcano islands, four new air attacks on the Philp plnes and a bombardment of the former American base at Wake, it was disclosed today. Forces of Admiral Chester W. Nimitr and Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur collaborated in the raids which ranged from the northern Kurlle islands to the Dutch East Indies in the southwest Pacific. Twenty-one of the ships and 85 of the planes were bagged in a concentrated four-day assault on the Bonins and the Volcanos by army Liberators, carrier based planes, cruisers and de stroyers. Nlmllz's communique said sur face ships escaped damage al though five carrier planes were lost with four crewmen missing. Wake Island, long by-passed In Nimitz's drive toward the Japanese homeland, was attacked by cruisers, destroyers and car rier planes without loss Sunday. Allied bombers from MacAr thur's command struck from the Philippines to the Dutch East Indies over the week-end, de stroying or damaging 20 Japa nese vessels and 22 planes, Four separate attacks were made on Mindanao, southern most of the Philippine Islands. Air patrols carried the neutrali zation campaign against air dromes at Davao on Mindanao into the third day and sank or damaged 12 freighters in the port. Airmen of (he 14th U.

SEEK CIVIL JOBS Washington, Sept. 8 C0.fi Many federal empioyes believ ing the end of the war near are seeking to transfer from the war agency Jobs to more secure civil service positions, It was revealed today. Rep, Percy Priest, D., Tenn., said Ills mail was filled with such requests and Chairman Robert Rnmspeck, D Ga., of the House Civil Service com mittee said In an interview that hundreds now employed by the army service forces were re questing transfers brcaiue "they are now on a 54-hour week' and want shorter working hours. "I don't know what they think we can do about it," Priest said. "They are signed up In the war agencies for the duration of the war and six months afterward." Priest said this precludes transfers except in emergency cases. If a worker quits, he added, he will lose his civil service status.

President Roosevelt, in a brief statement made publio by the White House, said: "Brussels, the capital of an other freedom-loving people, has been delivered from four ter rible years of tyranny the sec ond such period In a generation. "The American people are filled with admiration for the Imperturbable conduct of the Belgian people towards the hat ed invaders and their unswerv ing devotion to the ideals which they share with the people of the United States and the other United Nations." Secretary of State Cordell Hull, calling Brussels' libera tion "a symbol of German de feat, said it was also "a chal lenge to all peace-loving men to Insure that never again shall the cities of the smaller nations resound to the tread of the ag gressors' marching feet." REGIES AC! TO London, Sept. 8 (U.R) The exiled Dutch and Belgian gov ernments were organizing mili tary and civil missions to their native countries today as Allied armies liberated vast sections of the territory overrun by Ger man armies four years ago. With the quick collapse of their forces In the low countries, the Germans appeared Increas ingly uneasy In Denmark. A Danish press service dispatch received at Stockholm reported that they were preparing to re move considerable administra tion facilities and most of their troops and civilians from Copen "rKfj.. , 7" e"; clrcM in the event of a revolt hagen to avoid becoming "en' In the Danish capital. Plans for establishing Belgian civil authority in Belgium were moving rapidly. A Belgian gov- ernmcntal . mission headed by ia. uen. van MrydencK De Bur key already was In France, pre paring to go to Brussels. It was announced that King ueorga had approved the ap' polntment of Sir Hughe Knatch-, bull-Hugessen, ambassador to Turkey as ambassador to Brus sels and envoy to Luxembourg, succeeding Sir Lancelot OH phant. Hugcssrn was succeeded at Ankara by Sir Maurice Drum mond Peterson. EASES TAX LOAD New York, Sept. 8 A).R The Solal Security system of in surance had the backing today of Eric Johnston, president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. who declared that Social Secur- ity helps share the burden of heavy taxes. "This security system does not depend on the paternalism of a super-state," he wrolo In the Casualty and Surety Journal. "It Is purely a private matter, ad ministered by private enterprise. It does not add to the tremen dous tax burden but to the con trary, shares the burden." Johnston said that many post war planners outllno elaborate plans for a "super-Soclnl Secur ity system. This Is wasted ef fort," he said, "for under their very noses . . , America already has a system of security whose scope is unique in world history."
