thing unique when he not only
ahot down tour enemy planes in
one flight but also picked off
. two more Japs with his revolver
, while bobbing around the Pa

was Ens. Clarence A. Borley,

for his four planes in a sweep
-over Formosa recently.
Anti-aircraft fire forced him
down in the water, and two Jap
anese headed for him in a small
sailing dinghy from the nearby
enemy shore. Borley waited un
til they were within SO yards,
then opened fire with a .38 cali
bre revolver. It was not until
five days later that an American
submarine rescued him and
then he had to convince his res
cuers that he wasn't a Jap.

LANDS SUPPLIES
IN GUAM ATTACK
Camp Paris, Calv Jan. 13
(U.R) The Seabees practically ac
complished the impossible to
land supplies for the American
forces invading Guam, A. L.
Maunch, Los Angeles, one of the
first Seabees to return from the
action, said today.
Explaining that the Japs had
counted on an off-shore coral
reef to stop our supply ships,
he said the Seabees managed to
set up a pair of cranes on the
reef, and working in water that
was sometimes waist deep,
swung trucks, bulldozers, ammu
nition, food and fuel from the
cargo ships to amphibious trac
tors inside the reef.
"The tractors then flounder
ed through 400 yards of shallow
water to shore," said the 50-year-old
electrician's mate," and
for the first couple of days the
Japs kept throwing mortar shells
at our cranes. I can still hear
them popping around me."

LABOR WARNED BY
SECY. PERKINS.TO
WATCH ITS STEP
Washington, Jan. 13. (U.R)
Secretary of Labor Perkins to
night warned labor unions that
failure to assume their full "pub
lic responsibilities" will result
in weakening of laws which she
said had given American labor
unprecedented protection;
In what may be her last an
nual report, Miss Perkins also:
1 Called on labor to devote
the coming years to "develop
ment of a program of public
service."
2 Called for postwar con
solidation within the labor de
partment of all government
agencies having to do with la
bor and labor-management re
lations.
3 Back-handedly chlded the
war labor board's finding that
wages have kept pace with liv
ing costs, commenting that even
"the most competent repre
sentatives of government . . .
when charged with an official
decision on wages can hardly
be as well informed about any
practical situation as are the
workers and employers directly
Involved."
4 Recommended anew that
the social security program be
expanded and that provision be
made for more aijd better hous
ing and for increased adult and
occupational training.
Miss Perkins and Secretary
of Interior Harold L. Ickes are
the only two members of Presi
dent Roosevelt's original cab
inet who still hold their posi
tions. - Many observers, how
ever, expect her resignation to
be announced shortly.

AIR CHIEF SAYS

Boston, Jan. 13 (U.R) Gen.
H. Hv Arnold, commander of the
U. S. army air forces, said to
night that past Superfortress
raids on Japan were "merely the
prologue" of the bombing In
store for that country and prom
ised that our air strength will
make the enemy "wish the air
plane had never been Invented."
Addressing the annual dinner
of the Washington chapter of
the National Sojourners, Arnold
said he anticipated a long, hard
and bitter struggle against Ja
pan. "Remember this," he said,
"Japan is not a group of mod
erately small islands covered
with inflamable paper buildings
some people seem to think.
"Her Inner empire the is

730,000 square miles. This area
comprises a highly developed,
almost self-sufficient Industrial
and agricultural unit three times
the size of Germany. And this
industrial unit has now had a
chance to disperse.
"Dispersed or concentrated,
Japanese industry will not sur
vive the bombardment In store
for it. We will hit their factories,
their oil fields, and their cities,
first with our B-29s then, as our
bases draw closer, with Fort
resses and Liberators and even
with our lighter aircraft."
