PAGE TWO THE ESCANABA (MICH.) DAILY PRESS SUNDAY, JUNE 6, 1943 GABLE MAKING TRAINING FILMS Former Movie Star On Tour Of American Air Stations BY LEO BRANHAM A U. S. Bomber Station in England, June 5 (AP)-Capt. Clark Gable, the former movie star, is making training films in England for the U. S.

Army Air Forces, it was disclosed tonight. With army permission, Gable announced that he was sent to England under orders of Brig. Gen. Luther S. Smith, U.

S. Army Air Forces director of training. The one-time movie in charge of a six-man crew which includes two former Hollywood associates and they are touring all American air stations in England. The announcement was made during an interview here, marking the first time that newspapermen have been permitted by Eighth U. S.

Air Force officials to talk with Gable since his arrival seven weeks ago. The interview, however, failed to clear up the question of whether Gable will make any more trips over Nazi Europe in a Flying Fortress. His sole operational mission to date was on May 4, when he rode as an observer in the Fortress 'Eight Ball' piloted by Capt. William R. Calhoun of Birmingham, in the raid on Antwerp.

He took movies of that attack. Young Kid McCoy To Fight La Motta In Detroit June 18 Detroit, June 5 Jolting Jake La Motta of New whose battering fists restored the fight game here to important money, will meet Young Kid MeDetroit and Mitchel Field, N. in a ten-rounder June 18 at Olympia Stadium. Matchmaker Nick Londes announced bout today to end three months fistic inactivity growing out of the difficulty in getting a suitable opponent for the one-man riot from the Bronx who snapped Sugar Ray Robinson's winning streak last February. In his last start here La Motta stopped Jimmy Reeves of Cleveland in six rounds.

In the Army Air Force, Young Kid McCoy is Pvt. Adam Pianga, who came up through Detroit amateur fight ranks. McCoy a stopped Wild Bill McDowell in his last start here seven months ago. Unless the Army has fattened him up, McCoy probably will come in at 158 pounds against La Motta, who is a full-sized middleweight and may have a four or five-pound pull in the weights. The matchmaker announced top price for the bout.

An additional 20 cent assessment on each ticket will go to the boxing service fund. The submarine torpedo was invented in 1776. The first plastics material, celluloid, was discovered in 1870. Novorossisk is the largest cement-producing city in Russia. a BOSS OF UMW NOT GIVING UP YET IN STRIKE (Continued from Page One) was advised that the board would not recognize the negotiations until coal production resumed.

Charles O'Neill, spokesman for northern mine owners, called this "a very grave mistake." Edward R. Burke, spokesman for" the southern operators, said his group felt the back-to-work order of the UMW leadership should permit negotiations to go forward. Lewis declared the miners regard the board's attitude as "mischievous and malicious and complete justification of our previous In appraisal of explanation the of board's its actions." board issued a statement saying the instructions not to resume negotiations until the mine workers "are actually back" on their jobs "reflects the established policy of the board. known to the parties, that negotiations in a case the jurisdiction of the board may not be continued during a work stoppage." Big Stock On Hand The disclosure that the UMW leadership's order for renewed coal production Monday--in compliance with President Roosevelt's demand--was only a strategic treat and not an unconditional surrender came when Lewis made public the following telegram dispatched to all local unions: "The national policy committee, by unanimous vote, has authorized a return to work on Monday, June 7, up to and including June 20. This action was taken to protect your union and its membership.

Let each member cooperate with this policy. By of the national policy committee." Along with it was made public a statement which UMW officials said was adopted unanimously yesterday by the policy committee. This declared the United Mine Workers recognize "their responsibilities in our war effort," and added: "It is not the United Mine Workers of America's purpose, in pressing for proper and equitable compensation services rendered, to hamper the war effort but a simple desire of American coal miners to obtain and maintain an economic footing consistent with other Americans. "The nation has the greatest storage stocks of bituminous coal in history. There is an ample supply of coal on hand to meet every requirement.

Even the present situation has not impaired our war productive effort." At the capitol, some legislators said privately that the setting! of the June 20 deadline undoubtedly would spur enactment of antistrike legislation and, providing President Roosevelt will sign, such a measure may be on the books before that date.

Flying Fortress Raid Hits Pride of Duce's Fleet (Continued from Page One, cause heavy damage in the opinion of air bombing experts.

Fire and smoke from jetties, oil depots, storage areas, and electrical shops in the navy yard indicated that the shore installations as well as the ships were hit hard. The returning fliers. fagged from their eight and half hour ride but jubilant over the result of their first great smash at a far away Italian naval shelter, leaped from the unscarred Fortresses for coffee and doughnuts.

Among them were Capt. David Pett of 717 Hawtherne Royal Oak. Mich, a pilot and squadron leader on his 50th raid. "It was a long tiring trip but it was wonderful to see it work out SO successfully," said Pett. "The fact that the flak didn't bother us and that there were no fighters to speak of made it perfect.

The Italians won't use those ships for a long time--and they may have to pump a couple up to get them to the surface." Although some of the other fliers were not So optimistic as to the extent of the damage inflicted the battleships, of which was caught in the outer harbor and the other two in an area enclosed by a sea wall, all thought the raid was an extremely punishing and heavy blow to the already wobby Italian naval morale.

The two-wave daylight assault on Grottalgie airdrome splintered hangars and administration buildings with direct hits. One entire section of the field was said to have been knocked out as the whole place was covered with explosions, large fires and columns of smoke. A formation of fighters challenged the big bombers, which blasted four of the enemy planes out of the air, and a U.

S. communique said all of the American raiders returned safely. Aim Accurate Col. Keith K. Compton of St.

Joseph, leader of the attack, said in Cairo that he rarely had seen more accurate bombing. "There were scores of fires which sent great pillars of black smoke into the sky," he said, "We completely smothered the area Briefly Told Meeting Postponed--The Rotary club's meeting has been postponed from Monday to Wednesday, when the annual honor day exercises will be held.

He nexplained that slaughterers will be paid the equivalent of two cents per pound on dressed carcasses. Defense Supplies a subidiary of Reconstruction Finance will make the payments. The subsidy will be limited to slaughterers who kill 4,000 pounds or more, live weight, of meat animals a month.

Breaching of the Moehne dam May 16 loosed flood waters which trapped hundreds of miners in the Spaiherr Von Stein and Rarbenberg mines and caused widespread devastation in other Ruhr cities, eye-witnesses said. Due to insufficient transportation facilities, millions of tons of coal are stacked in mounds in the vicinity of the Ruhr valley mines. RAF incendiary bombs ignited these "mountains of coal," causingfires which resist all efforts to extinguish them, it was said.

A traveler said the entire area from Cologne to Hanover was a picture of destruction.

Cannon today shattered the world's discus record with a toss of 174 feet 10 1-8 inches in the Metropolitan A. A. U.

track and field championships. Performing in front of only a few judges and his fellow competitors in a lot outside the Randall Island stadium, the 29-yearold former Brigham Young lete got off the toss that wiped out the 174-foot record set by Willie Schroeder of Germany in 1935. The recognized American record, which had not yet won approval as the world standard, is 174 feet inches by Archie Harris of Indiana, at Palo Alto, in 1941. While many of its features. like the fin, are vastly improved, the basic design of the Flying Fortress is the same today as it was eight years ago.

Anti-aircraft guns were mounted in the Plaza De Mayo, in front of Government house where Rawson and his aides worked all night, and all government buildings were kept under strict military and police surveiliance. Culaciati, who had many of Castillo's stern measures. including the "state of siege" which forbade Argentine public discussion of war issues, was derstood to be confined in military barracks here.

Castillo and Minister Mario Fincati, after cruising indecisively on the minesweeper Drummond and crossing the wide estuary to Uruguay and back, finally offered their surrender to the commander of the army garrison at La Plata, in Buenos Aires province. Governor Keeps Order Castillo's resignation was quickly forthcoming and the news of it was broadcast in a communique read over the government station. Some of his cabinet elected to go ashore during the day in Uruguay, but Castillo himself would not leave the Drummond exile in the neighboring republic. Three of the five cabinet members who landed at Montevideo from Uruguayan gunboat Salto hired a plane which brought them back to capital early in the afternoon. General Rawson, ruling under martial law, addressed a message to the governors of the 14 provtina, asking them to retain their inces and 10 territories of A Argenpowers for the time being.

He identified himself as chief of the "military movement of the gov-! ernment of the nation' 'and added personal messages to each: therefore request your cellency to take adequate measurs to keep order and public peace until necssary measures to carry on the aims inspired in this movement are adopted. May God keep your excellency." He signed as a brigade general. Minister Joins Revolt Rawson also ordered the high seas fleet based at Puerto Belgrano, on the Atlantic, to steam to Buenos Aires and join the already assembled river fleet. The one-day revolution took the lives of approximately 50 soldiers, ousted the only regime in the western hemisphere still tolerating Axis agents who communicate with Germany, Italy, and Japan, and resulted in a threeman junta headed by Rawson, his close friend, Gen Pedro Ramirez, and Rear Admiral Benito Sueyro, who retained his post as chief of naval operations. Ramirez resigned as war minister in Castillo's cabinet to join the revolt.

The 50 casualties occurred in a brief clash at a naval engineering school early yesterday on the outskirts of the capital. The international significance of Castillo's overthrow was not fully determined here, but the radical (Liberal) party today published a communique welcoming the revolution "inasmuch as it meant the end of Castillo's regime." Radical deputies long had led a spirited opposition to Castillo's conservative coalition on the ground that it was not carrying out the spirit of a unified PanAmerican war front, and also because of alleged election fraud.
