Insurance Urged for Property Property owners today were urged to take out war damage insurance policies, issued by th Congress-created War Damage Corporation, in a statement issued by Harrison G. Taylor, president of the Savings Bank Association of Massachusetts.

Up to July 1, free insurance for damage to property from enemy action is provided by the War Damage Corporation. After that date, it will be necessary for property owners to purchase their own protection, he said. War Damage policies cost only $1 per 51000 of insurance for dwellings. This insurance is not sold directly by the War Damage Corporation, but through regular insurance companies, whose agents are now ready to write the policies.

June 24 (UP) Disclosure by the Navy today of the attack on a Yugoslavian ship coincided with an assertion by Sen. Ralph O. Brewster, of Maine, that convoying of coastal shipping is "not a satisfactory solution" to the submarine problem.

The Navy revealed early this week that it has been operating coastal convoys for about a month. It attributed to this policy the fact that the only sinkings within sight of land in recent weeks resulted from vessels striking mines laid by enemy submersibles. John B.

Toward the end of April the guer During the trip through the oc cupied area, we never knew when we might come upon the Nipponese or they upon us, or when we might be nabbed in raids, caught in sudden barricades of districts or betrayed by spies.

For nearly three weeks I still was never more than a few miles away from the Japanese at any time, sometimes closer. We traveled sometimes by day, sometimes by night. Along the way we stopped overnight at guerrilla hideouts. The guerrillas showed great concern for my safety and provided the best of care they could, while people along the way. both rich and poor, also helped often at the risk of their Jives.

I was regarded not simply as a foreigner going through, but as an American, a national of a country which the Chinese admire and respect.

We got out only five minutes before they came. The puppets knew it only as the home of a wealthy merchant engaged in business with Free China and they were after extortion money. If they had seen me. however, they might have decided on a bigger prize.

Meanwhile after having made their demands for fees they helped themselves to the fine dinner pre-1 pared for us. 1 i I had another close escape when i a Japanese patrol sighted a guerrilla boat in which I was riding. "The dwarfs are coming," the boatman whispered. 1 lay flat on the deck, remembering only too painfully that I would be unable to my American passport as it was below deck with my other luggage. Luckily, however, the Japanese did not spot me.

One night when we were traveling on foot we had to cross a wide river heavily guarded by Japanese, who allowed only licensed craft to ply its waters. There seemed no way to jget across, especially as we were 'hampered by some valuable war (cargo which the guerrillas were carrying. I We sighted a Chinese sampan on the opposite shore. "Come and get us or we will all be i killed." we begged the samDan man. After considerable delay the man finally yielded and rowed us across.

The last few miles of Japanese-occupied territory was the most dangerous of all. Not only was full of enemy troops but thick with bandits who abound in the occupied area.

It was given to me by a powerful guerrilla chieftain who had 1 heard I was an American.
