San Francisco, Nov. 27 (U.R) The U. S. army is burning and destroying $3,250,000 worth of equipment, including canned foods, radios, medical equipment and typewriters, in the Finsch haven area of New Guinea, and similar destruction is taking place on islands north of Aus tralia, Melbourne radio reported today. Quoting a correspondent of the Melbourne Herald, the broadcast said that "American army men are burning and bull dozing in the earth everything they can not sell or get rid of on the spot." Toned Into Sea Melbourne said that radio transmitters, receivers, jeep mo tors, generators, hospital gear, vehicles and typewriters are be ing tossed into the sea or plowed underground. "Iluce quantities" of food also are being destroyed, said a broadcast, heard by Unit ed Press. 'Appalled by the thorough ness with which Americans are carrying out the order (to de stroy), Australians have been Intercepting full trucks and per suading drivers to transfer loads to them," Melbourne said. "Many drivers equally keen to avoid wanton waste are handing over tinned turkeys and vege tables and other delicacies. "Australians too are getting rich hauls from salvage dumps awaiting disposal by fire or bul-dozer." Many Australians, the broad cast continued, have recovered first-class" radio receivers. One Australian acquired tape meas ures worth $3,250 and others obtained "costly" medical equip ment. Typewriters Cheap "Typewriters have been pick ed up for a bottle or two of gln,M Melbourne said. Two missionaries who have been granted permission to spend $100,000 on buildings and hos pital equipment to establish a mission are standing helplessly by "while timber and flooring dissolve into smoke, equipment is burned, buried or dumped into the sea and food is wasted," the broadcast added. The missionaries could buy the American goods at 10 per cent of cost, Melbourne explain ed. but they have no place to store or guard it. NEW DRIVE FOR BOOST IN CONGRESSMEN'S PAY Washington, Nov. 27 (U.R) A fresh drive was under way today to give each congressman a S5,000-a-ycar pay raise. Sen. Sheridan Downey, D., set it off with an admission that it was "embarrassing" for con gressmen to be thinking about boosting their own salaries. But declaring firmly that there was "no escape from such duty," Downey wrote to every senator seeking support for a proposal to raise congressional salaries from the present $10, 000 to $15,000 a year.
