ADMAN, DAILY TELEGRAM, ADRIAN, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1943 SEVEN' HUME (Continued From Page One) pines, "and quoted MacArthur as saying" the seeds "must be planted without'delay." 4 'I am sorry to have to irifonh this the vice "president his statement, "that Jesse Jones' and Will Clayton (assistant secretary of iiommerce and director of the Defense'Sup- plies an RFC subsidiary) stalled for months on this program." Wallace said a plan to plant the seeds from the in Costa Rica was.worked out by BEW and formally approved by the under-secretary of October 7 1912, alter RFC officials acquiesced in the proposal. On October, 10,. Wallace continued, Jones notified BEW -'the mater requires' further 'consideration" and that these considerations continued for The. vice president continued: Jones" said that our proposal was "post-war planning because of the time'it takes for.cinchona trees to come tq full.maturity for profitable stripping. The Fischer trees (Lt.

Col. Arthur F. Fischer brought the seeds from the Philippines) couldn't be harvested for years at the earliest; normally seven years- pass before stripping of the bark begins. Quinine Buying: Inadequate "During 1941 Mr. Jones may have felt that this would be a short war in which -we wouldn't become involved: in any event he did not tuy quinine during that period in adequate amounts for government stockpiles; during 1942 he acted as though the war might be over by 1944 if we can take his attitude toward this quinine project as criterion.

"It was not until late January, 1943, that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation finally announced that it would spend some money for this quinine project. For all the full power the President has given the Board of Economic Warfare over imports, we are helpless when Jesse Jones, as our banker, refuses to sign checks in accordance with our directives. "Finally, we have won out in all such cases, but the time lost has been precious time which there was no excuse for losing. The situation is better than it was a while back. Quinine Project Underway "Colonel Fischer is now in Costa Rica and the quinine project is under way.

Some of his seeds have been germinating in the Department of Agriculture's experimental station in Beltsville and are about to be sent to Costa Rica. The rest will be planted there. It will be 1946 before quinine from the seeds brought out of the Philippines by Colonel Fischer can be put to work fighting malaria in the tropics. Even so, our armed forces may need it desperately by that time if they are still fighting in the malarial regions of the Southwest Pacific. "We and the army would be quite willing to strip a greater part of the young trees at the end of 2H years 4 if we have to do so to get quinine for our soldiers, even though the Reconstruction Finance Corporation may lose a little money through not waiting seven -years to let the trees mature for the most profitable period of stripping.

"In fairness to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. I want to report that on a recent development project in Guatemala, where three hundred million cinchona trees are being planted under Board of Economic Warfare directives, we have thus far had no opposition from the RFC. "The other quinine programs of the board, such as gathering wild cinchona bark in Latin America, have been pushed aggressively by the Board of Economic Warfare, and army officers are now surveying this work in the foreign field with members of our staff. Even this work, I am sorry to report, was held up by Mr. Jones in the late summer of 1942, some nine months, after Pearl Harbor." Discussing purchases of cinchona bark in Latin America, Wallace drew this conclusion: "The Reconstruction Finance Corporation thus held up the vital quinine program while it objected to the 'tone', of our papers, forgot about offers, and handpicked its supplies from the 'right kind of people' instead of making a desperate fight to buy every pound of cinchona bark it could locate from any source whatsoever, regardless of the financial risks involved." Wallace said there had been delays in RFC purchases of such strategic materials as beryl ore, castor seeds, cobalt, corundum, palm oil, flax fiber, jute, sisal, tan- talitey zirconium and fats and oils all practical purposes, how- ever, virtually nothing "was done jy Mr.

i Jones to build a government stockpile of fats and oils Wen after.Pearl'Harbor,.when the East from "which, we been getting, tremendous supplies." 1 Since February, 1943, Wallace said BEW had been negotiating and drafting' all imported materials contracts, executed by then, them to the RFC, subsidiaries for execution. This procedure, he said; was established eliminate; delay and confusion. "Those purposes'have been in large measure accomplished," Wallace said, "but only-in the face of an exasperating rear guard action by Reconstruction Finance Corporation officials who are still fighting the war with peaceful red tape, corporate technicalities, and with what seems to us to be an unnecessary caution."

"During the spring when we had those heavy rains a lot of the milk wasn't what it should have been but now that the weather has cleared up the milk is better." (Continued From Page One) Defending police action, the commissioner said that "all of those killed would not have been hoodlums or murderers many would have been victims of mob psychology or innocent bystanders." Failure to bring Federal troops into Detroit until after the city had been wracked by nearly 24 hours of death and blood shed in last week's riot was blamed by Witherspoon on incorect information supplied him by Army authorities.

The charges were made in Witherspoon's official report, a word "while paper" on the" riot, which he submitted to the Common Council. "The Army has no comment," Brig. Gen. William E. Guthner, of the Sixth Service Command, who is in charge of troops on riot duty here, said when informed of Witherspoon's charges.

Much of the report was devoted to a defense of the Police Department and to Witherspoon's own policy which restrained police from dispersing mobs by gunfire during the early stages of the outbreak. "We are at was not believed to be a proper time, with a mailed-fist policy, to attempt to solve a racial conflict and a basic antagonism which has been growing and festering for-years," the Commissioner said. 'If a 'shoot-to-kill' policy was right, my judgment was wrong," he said. An official police tabulation show that 33 persons were killed in the rioting, with two other deaths listed as possibly caused by the fighting. Meanvyhile, 10 judges in recorder's court are hearing riot cases, and already more than 200 Negroes and white persons have received jail sentences.

Court records show that 386 persons charged with felonies have been arraigned with examinations held in most cases. More than 500 defendants have been released from jail, having furnished bond. (Continued From Page One) The destroyer presumably was engaged and sunk while convoying cargo or transport vessels and the mine layer while endeavoring to build a screen of mines to halt the American submarine forays which have reached the shoreline of Japan. At Munda, on New Georgia Island in the American airmen struck twice Saturday. Results of the first raid by army Liberator bombers were not observed.

But the bombing team of Dauntless dive bombers and Avenger torpedo bombers, hitting the second time that day blasted holes in the airfield runway and in the revetment area, possibly damaging some grounded enemy planes. The dive-torpedo bomber team, used frequently by the navy in South Pacific actions, scored again at Vila on Kolombangara Island. There they pock-marked the airfield with bomb pits and sent missiles hurtling into the enemy camp area. In other raids, Liberators dropped heavy bombs on Kahili, in the Buin area on Bougainville Island, while navy Liberators battered Ballale Island, an enemy supply base in the Shortlahd area. Torpedo planes raided Japanese positions at Rekata Bay on Santa Isabel Island, but results werfe not reported.

The War Department reported today the story of the hazardous journey of a B-25 Mitchell bomber, piloted by First Lieut.

Julian J. Blais of Fitchbu'rg, Mass. Blais and'his crew "of five were returning to their-base fro'm a routine patrol when'trouble closed in. Blind flying would have been "suicidal over-the mountainous navigation was impossible because of snow and static. Gas 'was running low, and there was no alternate airfield.

Ice was weighing the plane down. Hoping the weather would break; Blais'took the ship up to 14,500 feet and headed'home. came over the there was no "hole" in the clouds and fog, so he 'headed out to sea, came down to a bare 10 feet over the water. Knowing that if they came down at sea the life expectancy of himself and his crew would be about 20 minutes, Blais headed inland again. Time after-time he had to swerve sharply to avoid the icebergs that loomed suddenly through "the fog.

Finally, with only a few minutes' gas supply left, he spotted a low snow-covered reef, with not more than 300 feet of landing space, and decided to risk it. Landing, the tail touched first, and the plane plowed into a boulder that ripped the right engine out The fuselage broke just aft of the midsection, and the plane jolted to a halt. The escape hatch was jammed, so the crew broke a window and climbed out, to find that the only injuries any of them had suffered were cuts and bruises. The party made radio contact with the base, but the fog held and it was not until the third day that a rescue plane finally located them and dropped food" and bedrolls. A safe plane landing was reported as impossible but a coast guard ship eventually reached the reef and brought the men out.

COAL (Continued From Page One) In central Pennsylvania, district 2 of the union, where approximately 17,500 of 45,000 miners worked yesterday, there was no definite trend reported toward ending the walkout. A typical example was that of- the Revloc Local, 1,000 strong, which voted last week to go back yesterday. Only 64 men reported Monday when pickets appeared. The Revloc Local met late yesterday, then dispersed without a vote, but saying: "No pay work!" The Scalp Level union, 1,400 strong, also walked out without a vote and agreed to meet again next Friday. Mine operators in District 2 announced once during recent protracted negotiations with the union, that they were willing to pay a wage increase retroactive to April 1, when the union contract expired.

Later they were unable to agree upon legal terms for a contract with the union. "If this isn't settled by Wednesday or Thursday, I'm afraid those already at work will walk out again," commented one high central Pennsylvania union official, who asked his name not be used. In the rich Connellsville coke region around Uniontown, where the best steel-making coking coal is dug, William Hynes, president of UMW district 4, predicted 90 per cent of the 21,000 members would work today. About 15,750 worked yesterday. Union leaders in the Pittsburgh district 5 of the union said they expected at least 4,000 more men to join the 23,500 who worked yesterday, out of 36,000.

But a meeting of miners at Vesta 5 mine of the Jones Laughlin Steel Corporation, which has 1,600 members, voted 164 to 70 against working and members of a Pittsburgh Coal Company, Local at Midland asserted they expected to return "about October when we gather from JVIr. Lewis's announcement to us last week he expects to have a contract signed." Mine Director Named WASHINGTON, June 29 Interior Secretary Ickes left the impression today he might operate the nation's coal mines for the government until the owners and the United Mine Workers sign a contract This hint was contained in a series of developments pertaining to the coal controversy yesterday in the capital. The secret-ry, as fuel coordinator, appointed Carl Elbridge Newton, president of the Chesapeake Ohio Railroad company as.federal director of mines. On top of that Ickes was re; ported to have begun setting up what looked like a long-range organization to actively supervise the war-vital coal diggings. Thus he illustrated a'belief that government operation may be nec-r essary for some time.

don't how long we will have to operate "the mines," Ickes told a congressional committee. "I'd like return to-the owners before night if I could, but I see no immediate prospect" Then Ickes injected what could be construed as" qualification- to return of the workings to the owners, said it was "absolutely that a contract be signed. The War. Labor Board had ordered the miners to dig coal under the old contract- with some concessions, but without their $2- a May pay boost demand. Veteran Air Group Has Few Losses By VEKX IIAUGLAND AN ADVANCED Base, New Guinea, June (P) Based under the very noses of the in fact, to a Nip air raid every now and is America's most experienced squadron, of Havoc A-20 attack planes.

Shortly after Pearl Harbor, the squadron left the states, but-until itstrfanes arrived in the southwest Pacific area last year its personnel in Australia served with, other outfits. After a few months of training, the planes, outfitted with .50 caliber guns and bomb bay tanks, made their first surprise attack on the Japanese at Lae, 175 miles north of Port Moresby, last August'31. And a real surprise it was, recalls Capt. Donald E. Good of Eugene, who, then a second lieutenant, was one of the pilots taking part The Japanese hadn't experienced this type of intensive ground strafing and low-level bombing before, and they scurried like chickens at the cry of a hawk when the raid started.

Radio Tokyo announced that one of the attacking planes crashed into the sea. Actually, the crippled plane reached its base and continued in action for a full six months more. When war broke out, this Savannah, outfit was the first to go overseas. Its Bostons came off the line early in 1940 and have now been in service three years. There, have ments to date.

been no replace- The squadron has lost only three pilots in the greater part of a year of front-line attack flying. Only one was lost in combat. One crashed on take-off, and the other was lost flying from Australia to New Guinea. Battle-scarred Cactus Don, oldest ship in the squadron, had been on 69 missions by May 31, and had chalked up 562 hours of combat flying. Others have more than 500 combat hours while 400 hours is not an uncommon figure for these ships.

The Bostons have attacked Lae and other New Guinea points, and such bases as Gasmata and Cape Gloucester in New Britain. They participated in the task of pushing Japanese land forces back over the Owen Stanley Range from within 30 miles of Port Moresby. Last September 9 they destroyed 17 Japanese aircraft on the ground at Buna. Their support of ground troops along the Kokoda trail and in the Buna sector won them an expression of thanks from Australian infantry and a commendation from the Australian general in charge of allied group forces. They left 250 Japanese bodies in one straffing area, a section which it would have been extremely costly -to clear -out from the 'ground.

Bismarck Sea Score In the battle of the Bismarck sea in March the squadron's planes scored 12 hits on seven ships for the high bombing average of 60 per cent. Proving that they also can serve as fighters, the Bostons have shot down. two Zeros in aerial battles. They caught 12 enemy planes on the ground at Lae early in May, 1943. Recently they have joined B-25s in night attacks upon barges and other enemy.

shipping along the northern coast of New Guinea. Every plane in the squadron has been holed by shrapnel and machine-gun fire. Nine out of eleven were shot up in a single raid. They repeatedly have demonstrated ability to take punishment, yet return safely to base. Captain Good himself once received two direct hits from anti-aircraft fire over Lae, yet flew 80 miles eastward along the coast to make a crash landing in the water and come ashore in friendly territory.

Every pilot but one in the squadron been decorated. Leading in awards is- Lieut. Edmund of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, former singer with Sammy Kaye's orchestra. He has received four medals. The attack group to which the squadron belongs has more than 500 medals to its credit.

A frontrline organization, the group has had to advance as the Japanese retreated. This has meant the buildings of new camps, which each move contributed to construction experience until now the boys can turn a jungle wilderness into a livable camp in remarkably rapid fashion. To provide the squadron with fresh foods from Australia, mechanics built a plane out of spare 'parts from six wrecked A- Michigan In Brief By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS was" killed Monday afternoon when, a' plane from the naval air station at Grosse lie crashed into Lake Erie, four miles noth of Monroe.
