Cause of Hour's Alert On West Coast Mystery San Francisco, June 28 iP) An hour-long air raid alert in the San Francisco Bay area yesterday brought the usual explanation that it was caused by "the approach of unidentified targets, but the army failed to add the customary phrase, "later identified as friendly." There was no explanation issued for the omission in the army announcement. The alert, which went to the second or blue stage, was the thirty-first of the war in the bay region.

Sailor Sleeps High on Bridge 'Cool, He Says on Being Lowered New York, June 28 (U.fi) George Hayes, 17, a sailor, described his slumber as "cool and delightful" after police had lowered him from an 18-ijich girder 25 feet above the roadway on Brooklyn Bridge early today.

1 A bridge patrolman summoned an emergency squad when he spied Hayes snoozing peacefully on the precarious perch. Fearing he might awaken with a start and fall, the emergency crew elected not to disturb him. They lassoed his feet, tied his arms, slipped a rope around tiis waist, and lowered! him gently. Not until he reached the roadway did Mr. Hayes awake.

He wasn't sure "how I got up there," he told his rescuers, but it was "mighty refreshing." Police took him to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and th comparative safety of a hammock.

At least four persons were In lured yesterday by particles of hich-oowered shells, some of which hurtled a mile from the siding where the blsiing cars were isolated by trainmen.

Fire Chief Charles Downing's right arm, torn by shell fragments, was amputated. He was given two blood transfusions.

Hundreds of townsmen, some clad in pajamas, hurried down Main Street as close as they dared to the tracks on the city's western outskirts. The ammunition-fed fire glowed brightly in the Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail road yards. Shells burst in in creasing tempo, dying down nnany about 5 a. m. 'Glorified Fireworks It was.

By J. REIIXV O'SUIXIVAN By the Associated Press Enshih, on the Upper l'engtze Front, June 26 (Delayed) Give him two pounds of rice a day and Free China's fighting man keeps going.

His endurance is incredible. Sometimes he has a few vegetables to supplement the rice diet. Meat almost never. Two pounds of rice is his due from private to gen eral. A Chinese private receives eight Chinese dollars monthly half what I pay for a package of Chi nese clgarets.

The Chinese soldier doesn't smoke often. His allowance for the purchase of vegetables runs about a dollar daily, depend ing on the locality His family receives a rice ration and cloth for clothes semi annually. Officers' Pay Better Officers are a little better off as to pay. A first lieutenant gets $94 monthly and the rate rises $40 for each grade up to general. A soldier's summer uniform coa sists of a khaki blouse, shorts, san dals, wrapped leggins and a cap or straw hat.

He doesn't have a raincoat or a tent. Some unit lead ers carry umbrellas. Besides his weapons and ammuntion, a soldier totes a pack weighing 40 pounds, including his rice rations. He can climb like a mountain goat and is tireless on a march. In the Yangtze gorges where our troopship tied up under a towering cliff during midday to prevent at tack by Japanese planes from nearby fields, I ran into a battalion which Chang Sze Liang had brought 300 miles through loftly, barely passable mountains His men had suffered severe hard ships but not one was left behind on the march.

The troops were busily cleaning guns and polishing equipment before moving to the front lines. Rain Is Problem "Rain soaked us most of the trip," saiti Colonel Chang. "Many men who lost or wore out their sandals walked barefoot. On the worst day we walked through 74 mountain streams but made 31 miles. Some days it was so wet the men were unable to put down their packs until we reached night i.nin along the route and the people in the villages were helpful to the well-disciplined troops.

However, there was a shortage of medical supplies and medical officers had to use subterfuges in dosing minor sicknesses. Koad Is Urged For Enterprise Government Assurance or Party Planks Asked at N. A. M. Parley Detroit, June 28 lf) A demand for basic clearing of the postwar future for free enterprise" waS voiced today by Wilfred Sykes, president of the Inland Steel at a Michigan-region post-war conference of the National Association of Manufacturers.

Mr. Sykes, in a prepared address, called on industry to use its initiative now in planning post-war production so that it may be ready with the "practical answers" to economic readjustment problems after the war "lest free enterprise go by default." "We need," Mr. Sykes said, "a basic clearing of the post-war future for free enterprise perhaps by something like the Charter of the Atlantic. If official government assurance cannot be had for free enterprise, then both major political parties should be asked to proclaim for it in next year's election." Mr. Sykes said had no fear but industry could do the job of planning for the post-war world and "executing the plans, if the government will permit." He said the government "recognized the value of using top-notch businessmen in getting the war effort rolling.

Collectivism One Way "Of course," he said, "for those who don't mind collectivism, the whole post-war problem can be solved simply by delault. When some 15,000,000 come out of the army and the wartime industries looking for peacetime jobs, in de fault of such jobs they will all be out on public works. "And that brings us to what is wrong with the public works panacea. Government ods do not create goods. They just equip a large number of people with mon ev which the government takes by taxation or borrowing from those who do create the goods.

"If you shift the wartime man power to public works, the economy would then be as short of the common civilian goods as it was in wartime. And rationing, price ceilings and other wartime con trols would stay on just as long gs the 15,000,000 stayed on the public works payroll. We would have a larger super-state than ever and coupon books in peacetime as we have them at present." Mr. Sykes asserted that after the emergency it was the "duty of government immediately to set enterprise free." -He said there was a "real danger" that "self- appointed reformers of enter prise" would be able to "turn free enterprise into something else." Market Research From Howard E. Blood, presl dent of Norge Borg' Warner and chairman of the N.

A. post-war distribution subcommittee, the conference heard the suggestion that "what manufacturing enterprise needs most of all is an increasing ap preciation of the value of market research." "By that I do not mean adver tising or sales research in the narrow sense," Mr. Blood said. "I mean tracing the movement of products and the movement of money which is the hire of capital of men, and of materials to the point where that money catches up with the goods which are its equivalent and takes them out of circulation. "We need such market analysis to find out what the war has done to this country.

That is its immediate value. The long-term value is that it may well be a practical regulator of business cycles. We can keep production balanced against consumption only by knowing what the consumer wants and is able and willing to pay for, at any moment, and what he Is going to want over the period for which we must plan. That is where market analysis comes in. With such a self-regulator, I think we can maintain a stabilized high-consumption economy in which the 15,000,000 men 'ill return from the army and out of the war plants will not be burden but an opportunity."

Young, retired school teacher who died after a life of squalor, leaving no will, probably will not be settled until after the war, Public Administrator Samuel Sapowitch reported today.

Mr. Sapowitch, tracing heirs to the estate, said he believed Miss Young had cousins in Germany and wartime conditions prevented a check through the German Consulate.

(Persons now employed In defense work will not be considered.) SAVES RATION POINTS CANNING CARAVAN neighborhood demonstrations will be held as follows: 7:30 farms and businesses in the beginning English for the Issei, classes in paper flower making and flower arranging, and many others. The most popular evening class is the public events forum where war and political news of the day is told and discussed.

The camps have resulted in a sudden emancipation for many of the older Issei, whose previous years were spent in toil. For the first time in. her life, the aged Japanese mother finds the opportunity to visit freely with her neighbors, to attend English school, go church and relax at flower arranging classes. The enforced communal life has had quite an effect on the traditionally strong ties of the Japanese families. And parental ties have dwindled with the absence of the family table.

Can't Start Again But in spite of all these activities each camp is gripped with a sub-surface case of jitters. Minor differences that normally would be laughed it become major issues that keep blocks frothing with excitement for months. Despite the numbers that have left the camps on short-term leave, on group leave to engage in seasonal agricultural work, or who have been granted indefinite leave to accept full-time employment, many evacuees have become inflicted with a great fear of the outside This is especially true among the older generation, many of whom lost their savings in the sudden evacuation move. Almost too old to work now, they dread the hostile world and can't see how they'll ever be able to start over again in towns far home. Fear also is present in the younger generation, who read the violent blasts against their return to their West Coast homes in every newspaper that comes to hand.

They're afraid the present active hostility against them on the part of their former American neighbors and schoolmates will carry over after the wars' end. They doubt that America ever will have a place for them, and they know have no place in Japan. year ago from their homes, Pacific Coast military zone. Men and women work, and children laugh and play in the streets. Couples get married, babies are born in the hospitals, and the ancients die.

But under the routine activity runs a current of uneasiness, bitterness and fear Each of the camps is a city a city of tarpapered barracks projected with mathematical monotony upon mile after mile of once desolate earth. And every city is a prison, too. Only about 4,000 have passed the sentries at the gates to accept employment and try to resume independent lives in the east and middle-west. Managers Elected Administration ''ere is based on the block system. Each block of barracks has Its own kitchen and mess hall, its own community lavatories, laundry rooms and recreation hall.

Each block vies with others for the prettiest community garden or park, the most productive garden or the best baseball team. Each block has an elected manager and an evacuee administrative officer who is appointed by the Project Director to serve as his personal representative in matters that affect the block residents. The block manager keeps his people informed of official rules and policies, sees to it that the block is kept in good repair, collects and distributes the mail and supervises the distribution of supplies. Each camp has its own consumer cooperative enterprise, financed with evacuee funds and left largely in their hands. Stores and canteens have been established, barber and beauty shops have been opened.

Manzaner even has a sort of country club, fashioned by golf enthusiasts with their own hands out of the windblown soil and open the members only. Membershio and dues consist of a willingness to spend as many hours working on the golf course as are spent playing. Have Own Officials There is little unemployment in these camps. Farms, factories and other industries operate on a 44-hour week. With the exception of the Administrative Officer, the evacuees man most of the posts in the fire department, police department and hospital.

Every religious group is represented except Shinto, the Japanese religion of war and hate, which is banned. Each camp has its own newspaper, printed both in English and Japanese. The regular elementary and high schools are conducted as in any other city.
