Providing bombs and ammunition after hav ing lost your home base is like buying from a mail order house while in- mid-ocean, but Lieut. Drake somehow managed to keep bombs in the PBY racks and the bullet pans filled. One place which Allied bombers have now begun to tackle from Northern Australia is Kalabahe on the island of Alor in the eastern end of the Barrier group. This was one of the bases for PBY before they emigrated to Koepang In Timor, preliminary to the re turn to Java. Radioman's Story.

Nick" Keller, who Is Lieut. Clarence Keller of Wichita, to the Navy Department, also received a decoration today. Lieut. Keller is a six-footer with a tanned and mobile face which has made him the squadron's champion at the indoor sport of the officers mess which is fasten your safety belts, please charades. What happened when Lieut.

Keller located another Japanese invasion fleet can best be told in the words of Edward W. Bedford of Los Angeles. Bedford has been in the Navy four of his 23 years and he was Lieut Keller's radio man. "What they told me we saw was one Kuma class cruiser, four de stroyers and two Kongo class bat tleships," he said. "All any radioman gets is an occasional quick peek and that was all I got.

I had my finger on the radio key sending "Mo's" (two long dashes, followed by three long dashes) constantly for four hours. We saw that fleet 200 miles north of Northern Luzon. They saw us almost immediately and sent up cruiser-based fighters. "When Lieut. Keller had sighted the fleet he turned over the controls to Ensien Andrew H.

Reid (of Springfield, who was doing the navigating, and Lieut, Hastings and came back to study our position. The other two of our crew, since lost, were William Uierren or Atlanta, ana nans Paulsen of a Wisconsin town. "When the Japs attacked, Lieut. I Keller dived our machine. There was ack-ack all around us, but we came close down to about 10 feet above the water.

How we survived then I do not understand. We were using maximum manifold pressure which brought up our speed to 125 knots with the benefit of a tail wind. It's a wonder our engines were not burned up. "The Japs deflected their guns downward until they were firing horizontally across the water at us. It looked exactly like long black snake whips reaching out ahead of us and behind us.

I kept on sending those Mo's. My antenna was shortened and increased my voltage, finally causing my fairlead to break and I lost 175 feet of antenna. From then on I kept sending from emergency antenna. It was 10 or 12 feet of sea swells which saved us. We disappeared over the horizon just in time, for those old-fashioned Cats were what we called 'cold turkey against fighters (meaning they had no chance)." Bedford has a reputation for be ing one of the luckiest members of the squadron because although he went on patrols from the Dutch Indies every other day, it was al ways upon the odd days that PBYs were lost (Continued tomorrow.) OPA CUTS TALLOW, GREASE PRICES TO AID SOAP FIRMS Action Taken to Eliminate "Squeeze" on Manufacturers; Other Revisions Made.

WASHINGTON, July 20 (AP). To alleviate a price "squeeze" on soap manufacturers, the Office of Price Administration today lowered prices on inedible tallow and greases about 1 cent a pound. The soap makers in February hai agreed, at OPA's request, to eliminate a 3 per cent increase in their own prices announced last winter. Along with the cut in inedible tallow and grease prices, OPA ani-nounced several sweeping revisions of the fats and oils price structure, including: The fixing of maximum prices, in dollars and cents, on 19 different imported vegetable oils. The setting of specific maximum ceilings on seal oil, whale oil and a group of fish oils.

The adjustment of price differentials between various grades of and greases (the roll-back was on the adjusted instead of the eld prices). HIGH LOW RAIN (Yesterday's Weather Bureau Reports) High. Low. Kale. GANDHI SAYS HE WOULD NOT HARM ALLIED WAR CAUSE Continued From Page One.

humanly possible, to avert such a tragedy. We want to secure our independence, so that no Indian worth the name would then think of going over to the Jap side. It would then tend to be as much to Indian interest as to Allied interest to resist Jap aggression." 'Open to "I am open to conviction," Gandhi continued. "If anybody could convince me that in the midst of war the British cannot declare India free without jeopardizing the war effort I should like to be convinced." "And if you were convinced, he was asked, "would you call off your campaign?" "Of course, came the quick reply. "My complaint is that all these good critics talk at me, swerr at me, but never condescend to talk to me." It was even suggested to Gandhi that a word from him would suffice to transform the attitude of the Indian masses from apathy to enthusiasm for the war effort.

He lifted himself to a sitting position and smiled: "You credit me with Influence I vish I had but which I assure you I do not possess. I shall give you the solid facts. If I had that in fluence, we should already have got our independence without causing trouble to anyone. But as you know, neither I nor the Con gress committee has any influence with the Moslem League or with the princes. That is one fact "Here is the other.

During the last war I threw myself, heart and soul, into it and became a volun tary recruiting agent for the British. I should have made great headway immediately, but I did not do so. I walked for miles in the heat of a burning sun in order to collect recruits. But I could not make an impression on the people 'Strictly Limited' Influence. "Therefore, you will see that mv influence, great as it may appear to outsiders, is strictly limited.

may have considerable influence to conduct a campaign for the redress of popular grievances. But I have no influence to direct the people's energy into a channel in which they will not delve. "How many people will follow me in this campaign is problemat ical. I simply rely on the absolute purity of the cause and the means will be non-violent." Gandhi was next asked who would take the lead in forming the Provisional Government envisioned in the Congress resolution should England suddenly withdraw its control. He "The Moslem League can.

The Congress can. But if everything went right, it would be a combined leadership. The present constitu tion would be dead. The Govern ment of India Act would be dead. The Indian Civil Service would have to go.

There might be an archy, but there would be no need for anarchy if the British withdrew with good will." Gandhi pointed out that the pro visional Government would prob ably be somewhat after the pattern of the present Government, but with great modifications. It would function until a permanent struc ture could be agreed upon and perhaps that would not be until after the war. Base for Allied Troops. Meanwhile, said the Congress Spiritual leader, "Allied troops could operate from India as a mili tary base under treaty entered into with free India." Gandhi said that should India become free, he would try to con vert it to a policy of non-violent resistance to Jap aggression, but admitted that "free India would want to be militarist" Unquestionably, Gandhi regards this as his last great effort. He gives the impression of a martyr who is about to step into a cage of lions and relishing it.

And look ing at his wiry body, listening to his conversation, one feels that his physical and mental reserves, plus his undeniable prestige, are big enough to give plenty of trouble to his adversaries. But one also gets the impression that Gandhi is still amenable to reason and would still give ear to a good compromise proposition from the British side. However, it wouia have to be better than Si Stafford Cripps (Britain's Lord -Privy Seal) was able to offer. If it is not forthcoming, Gandhi win launch his movement a move ment which is likely to include mass civil disobedience and larce scale strikes with grave danger of developing into something worse, CORPORATE EARNING REPORTS WITH COMPARISONS OF 194 8 months June 30 1941 Corn.

JLouU, WHEAT CLOSES HIGHER AFTER LOIR RANGE CHICAGO, July 20 (AP. After early uneasiness, wheat prices staged a fairly strong rally today upon mill buying and short covering. With the attention of most traders focused on Washington, where action In the anti-Inflation fight was watched closely, wheat contracts dipped about 1 cent to early dealings. The late rally carried quotations above the preceding sessions close. At the close, both wheat and corn were at their highs for the day.

Wheat finished unchanged to up, and corn was up Oats finished 1 higher, soybeans lower to higher, and rye if higher. The late rally was considered primarily technical as wheat had slipped 3 ft 4 cents in last week's liquidation. Some traders felt the bread cereal was entitled to some upturn after Its recent weakness. Failure of hedge selling to attain the proportions expected was a stimulating factor. The peak of the winter wheat movement has been passed, traders said, and the decreasing volume of receipts and hedging nrefliir now be seen.

The hog market again gave support to corn trading, uuvers toon enoice swine at $15 a 100 pounds, equal to the 16-year top. Other faetors supporting corn, In the rminton of some traders, are the relatively small stocks held ever the market in the hands of the Commodity Credit Corporation, the reluctance of producers to seil except on advances, the higher prices being paid In outside markets and prospective heavy consumption.

It was necessary for Java's 40 million people to know whatever could be discovered of the invasion force which was massing for the attack two days later. There was none but American PBYs to do the job. Lieut. Robinson and his crew of six men T. Moreland, A.

Landers, T. W. Miller and W. O. Perry, whose addresses similarly disappeared failed to return.

Brought Out Nurses. Among those who received honors were the crews of PBY flying boats who made rescue trips to the Philippines. In going to save the nurses and others evacu ated from Corregidor the big Cat-alinas broke all records for long hauls with heavy loads. They evacuated several handfuls of wan- faced nurses, pale from Corregi-dor's tunnels, as well as fighting men expert in Japanese Jungle tactics whom Lieut. Gen.

Jona than M. Wainwright ordered southward a few minutes after Bataan surrendered. Two of four pilots due to re ceive crosses, backed by a stal wart line of stern-faced crews, stood today to receive honors. They were Lieut. Thomas F.

Pol lock Jr. of Ontario, and Lieut Joseph Gough of Baltimore. Two valued faces were missing, Lieut. Commander E. T.

(Greasy) Neale of New York City, one-time squad ron commander at Ambon, who is wearing fighting wings somewhere else, and Lieut. Leroy C. Deede who will wear his no more. St. Louisan's Escape.

One of those who owes his life to an accident was Alvin Kail of St. Louis, an ordnance warrant officer, who won a Silver Star in the Bataan fighting under Com, Frank Bridger. "I simply was an oarsman in the rowboat which brought off passen gers to Deede's PBY," he told me as we sat drinking coffee. "But Deede said he needed me and ordered me to get aboard because I am an expert at serving bombing equipment." It seems only a few days ago that I talked with Lieut. Deede, a tall, husky, athletic aviator, about his almost incredible exploit of escaping from a raid over Jolo.

Let Don Dexter Lurvey of Lowell, chief aviation pilot, whose family is in San Diego, tell what happened when six PBYs set forth from Ambon to bomb Jolo: "With Lieut Deede at the controls we started at moonset and cruised slowly to keep down gas consumption and arrive dthere at daybreak. The Japs got the motor of Lieut. Burden R. Hastings of Long Beach, whose crew was the same which had participated with 'Capt'n Pete' in the first attack against Kongo. "Then they got busy on us.

Two of us jumped before we leveled out over the water. Then we hit the waves and began to sink. Lieut. Deede and Lieut. Gough could hardly hold up.

I took off my drawers and packed them on my head to keep from going crazy with tiA mm inn rmlrklv. 1 In Water 30 Hours. "We were 30 hours in the water. Our shirts protected our shoul- ders down to our waists, but un der water, the smooth sea, acting as a reflector, gave us terrible sunburns from the waist down, Our worst wounded man was E. C.

McLawhorn (address lost), who had three pieces of steel in one eye, 10 bullet burns and one bullet in a leg. Only the fact that he is a rough-and-ready type, a regular Navy man who does not mind tak ing it as long as he can dish it out, kept him alive in the water. "Finally two boatloads of young kids in 'vintas' that means out rigger canoes picked us up. You should have seen how the Moros took care of us. We were some where, northwest of Jolo.

They found a doctor, who treated our wounded with sulfa drugs. One thing bothered me more than the sunburn about the Moros. They kept asking us for rifles and ammunition to fight the Japs and we could not give them any. They fought like everything if given the chance. En route to Tarakan, led by Lieut.

Deede, we stopped at Awao, in British Borneo, where the British had interned 2000 Japs, many of whom had been employed around the Miri oilfields. Lieut. Deede led us straight to Soerabaya." Lieut. Deede, a few days later when he was taking Admiral William R. Purnell from Soerabaya to meet another Dutch Admiral in Madura, carelessly knocked down a Japanese Zero during a lunch-hour flight.

That was after the first armor-piercing ammunition arrived at Soerabaya. Lurvey admitted reluctantly that he had gone back into the sinking PBY and dragged out the life ring which saved Lieut. Deede's life. Lieut. Deede was absent today because after six months marked by every kind of danger, he met his death while testing a dive-bomber.

Stories of Rescue Hops. When it comes to telling what happened on the trips to Corregidor, the people listened to are Harold C. Lohr, 20-year-old first class machinist's mate from Springfield, and Mario Ferrarra, aviation chief machinist's mate from Wakefield, Mass. Ferrara's plan was piloted by Lieuts. Neale and Pollock with crew members David W.

Bounds of Oakland, Wilmer F. Drexel of Los Angeles, Harold F. Donohue of Brooklyn and Leroy Gasset of New Cany, near Houston, as radio man. All were rewarded by, in the Army with Silver Stars. We reached Corregidor safely and by night in one of the few lulls the firing," Ferxara says.

"We spent about three-quarters of an hour taxiing outside Corregidor, keeping the motors muffled as softly as possible. The Japs cer tainly heard our motors coming in, but they probably never guessed our flying boats would attempt a rescue at such a long distance. Our 20 passengers came aboard, including a Navy officer who had led a cleanup fight by Navy and Marine guerrillas and Philippine Scouts at Bataan's back door. There were nurses, too. Met Commandant.

"One of those who met us after the takeoff from Corregidor at a secret Midway base was Capt. Joseph L. McGuigan, onetime commandant of the Cavite Navy Yard, who had come from another island in a native boat. I spoke to him sharply, taking him for a beach comber. Then I saw his cap with scrambled eggs (meaning gold fili gree) on the visor.

But we smashed up taxiing through the darkness. There was a strong drift sideways current where we were and togeth er with the wind it blew us against a rock. "The plane instantly began to sink. One nurse was especially courageous. She tried to block the hole with luggage even after the water in the cabin was up to her waist.

She kept plugging underneath In her water-soaked clothing until I dragged her out. The plane sank far over the outlying wing strut." Saved the Plane. Leroy Gassett, chunky, ordinar ily taciturn radio man, amplified what happened. "It was Lieut. Pollock who saved the plane," he said.

"Although dead tired from piloting the entire route from a secret base to Corregidor and back, he remained working all night. Going ashore, he got six empty gasoline drums and lashed them under the tail, Somehow we got the bow between two rocks. Army men nearby lent us a small pump and hand buckets and we began to When Lieut. Neale's flying boat took off Com. McGuigan.

the for- mer Cavite Navy base comman- dant, was assigned to the humble task of sitting on a hole in the I flying boat's hull and thus keeping out the water. There were three Army men and four patrol boat officers aboard at the emergency departure. The torpedo patrol boat men had participated in the energetic bailing necessary toget the damaged craft underway. Lohr crew, headed by Lieut Deede and Lieut Joseph Gough, included Edward Bedford of Los Angeles, Max Crane of Ada, Ned Kelly of Bremerton, and Wallace Eddy of Chicago. "Before leaving the secret base for Corregidor," Lohr says, "we put ashore our parachutes, har nesses, gear, oxygen and carbon dioxide tanks and even all our guns, or course, we observed ab solute radio silence.

Fires were still burning on Corregidor from that day's bombardment as we landed. We sneaked toward shore and spent -20 minutes taxiing. All the nurses we took off had two years' service or more. When we returned to the secret base we gave what help we could to the Flying Fortress pilots marooned there. Thev knew we could not take them off and seemed dazedly! resigned to what would happen.

Their ammunition was low so we gave them all we had. But it was hard leaving those good Army pilots behind." Lieut Jack B. Dawley of Seattle was another who walked away from the ceremony with a blue and white band on his left breast just under his "Wings of Gold." Lieut Dawley was one of those who got back when the Dutch commander at Ambon, Col. Hek-king, sent six PBYs more than half the entire fleet which escaped from the Philippines against Jolo. Perhaps fighters would have been sent along as an escort but the distance was- too far and, moreover, the entire fighter force at Ambon consisted of three Brewster Buffalos, two of which were forced down.

in the first raid. Ambon, which Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell, commander of British Empire forces in India, once briefly visited on a swing around Dutch India after Singapore fell, was the scene of much hard labor by the residual force of Patrol Ving 10 under Neale's command. One of the undecorated officers, who exemplified how badly the Navy neetis an ordinary cross for distinguished performance of undistinguished duties, was little curly-haired Lieut.

John J. Hy-land of New Rochelle, N. engineering officer who tried desperately to keep reconnaissance craft going out of Ambon. Lieut Hyland, who is a carrier fighter pilot by experience, tried to build a new wing flap on one of the two PBYs which remained after Japanese bombers, as numerous as geese, plastered the Dutch "naval base" which, though well fixed for a land airdrome at the air field of Laha with fine hangars radiating into the jungle and well-placed mounds between like Singapore, lacked armament capable of defending its buildings and long roadstead. Typical Technique.

The typical Japanese technique over Ambon, which was defended from air attack by only 40-mm. machine guns, was to send a fast sighter-photographer over after Ambon's fighters were knocked down. They even used a leisurely four-motored photographic plane. Then they followed with about nine two-engined bombers in a shape at 8000 feet altitude. They would make leisurely runs, slowing down to 100 knots, or hardly enough to remain air-borne, and then make several successive uni- ntw YORK.
