Jones and Will. Clayton secretary of mmerce and: director of. the Defense Supplies, Corporation, an RFC subsidiary), stalled for months on this program." Wallace said a plan to plant the seeds from the Philippines in Costa Rica was. worked out by BEW and formally approved by the under-secretary. of war October 7, 1942, alter RFC officials had acquiesced in the proposal.

On October Wallace continued, Jones notified BEW. "the mater requires further 'consideration" and that these considerations continued for four. months. The. vice president continued: "Mr.

Jones said that our proposal was- post-war planning because of the time' it takes. for cinchona trees to come to full. maturity for profitable stripping. The Fischer 1rces (Lt. Col.

Arthur. F. Fischer brought the seeds from the Phillppines) 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 buy 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 lake his attitude toward this quinine project a as a 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 WALLACE Quinine Project Underway "Colonel Fischer is now in Costa Rica and the quinine project is under way. Some of his seeds been germinating in the Depariment 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 and the army would be quite willing to strip 8 greater part of the young trees at the end of 212 years if w'e 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 ReconstrucLion Finance Corporation. I want 1o report that on a recent development project in Guatemala, where three bundred 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 program while it objected to the 'tone'.

of our letters, misJaid 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, tantalite, zirconium and fats and oils.

WATER (Continued From Page One) "However, I. wouldn't say 'anything against the milk here," the inspector said today. "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." DETROIT (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 "white paper" on the riot, which he submitted to the Common Council. "The Army has no 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 war--this was not believed to be a proper time, with a mailed-fist policy, to attempt 10 solve a racial conflict and a basic antagonism which has been growing and festering for 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. Meanwhile, 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.

CRASH LANDS PLANE ON REEF: CREW SAFE WASHINGTON, June. 29 (A) Caught by fog on a patrol bit Greenland, 'an army, pilot: brought his plane down to within ten feet of the sea, dodged icebergs at that level trying to find his base, and finally crash-landed on a reef his' crew safe. The War Department reported the story of the hazardous journey of a B-25 Mitchell bomber, piloted by First' Lieut. Julian J.

Blais of Fitchburg, Mass. Blais and' his crew of five were returning to their base' from a routine patrol when trouble started--fog closed Blind flying would have been suicidal over the mountainous Radio navigation was impossible because of snow and 'static Gas was running low, and there no alternate airfield. Ice weighing the plane down. Hoping the weather would break, Blais took the ship up to 14,500 feet' and headed home. He came over the base, 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 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 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. (Continued From Page One) In central Pennsylvania, district 2 of the union, where approxim-17 lately 17,500 of 45,000 miners workyesterday, there was no definite trend reported toward ending the walkout. A typical was that of the Revloc example, 1,000 strong, which voted last week go back yesterday. Only 64 men reported Monday when pickets Revloc Local met late yesterday, then dispersed without vote, but saying: "No pay Increase--no work!" The Scalp Level 1,400 strong, also walked out without 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 pay a wage increase retroactive April 1, when the union contract expired.

Later they were unable to agree upon legal terms for 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 cenPennsylvania 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 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 Vesta 5 mine of the Jones Laughlin Steel Corporation, which has 1,600 members, voted 164 to against, Pittsburgh working Coal and members Local at Midland asserted Company, expected to return "about October 31- when we gather from Mr.

Lewis's announcement to us last week he expects to have a contract signed." Mine Director Named WASHINGTON, June 29 (P)- 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 contract. This hint was contained in a series of developments pertaining the coal controversy yesterday the capital. The 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 reported to have begun setting 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 necessary for some "I don't know how long we will have to operate the mines," Ickes told a congressional committee. "I'd like. to return. them to: the owners before night if I could, but I see no immediate prospect." Then Ickes injected what could be construed as a' qualification.

Group Has Few Losses By FERN HAUGLAND AN ADVANCED Base, New Guinea, June 21-(Delayed) (P) Based under the very noses of the Japanese subjected, in a Nip air raid every; now and thenis America's. -most experienced squadron of Havoc A-20 attack planes: Shortly after Pearl Harbor, the squadron left the states, but- until its planes arrived in the southwest Pacific area last year its personnel in Australla served with other outfits.

After a 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 before, and they scurried 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 carly in 1940 and have now been in service three years. There.

have been no replacements 'to date. 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 repeatedly 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 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. Captaln Good himself. once received two direct hits from anti-aircraft fire! over Lae, yet flew 80 miles eastward along the coast to make crash landing in the water and come ashore in friendly territory.

Every pilot but one in the squadron has, been decorated. Leading in awards is Lieut. Edmund D. Montagano of Cleveland, Heights, Ohlo, 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 group has had advance as the 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, Squadron mechanics built a plane out of spare parts from six wrecked A- 20s and other material in New Guinea's war-made junk piles. Christened "Steak and Eggs," this flying mess-kit makes regular trips to the mainland.

Captain Good said that principal credit for the fine showing of A- 20s in this theater must go to the maintenance section. "Each crew. chief and mechanic considers the plane he cares -for his own," said "When the motors purr. properly at takeoff, their faces light up. They listen carefully, and when something doesn't sound just right, they fret and worry until the ship gets back and they can work on it some more.

"We have. made sorties than any other attack squadron, and our planes: have served well their normal period. But they're' still flying; and they run more smoothly than; they did when we were in the States." Good: said: the high' quality of the maintenance work was due in great part to the maintenance chief, Capt. Garland J. of Houseon, Texas.

"He's from Chanute Field, and if one. of. the 'airlines doesn't grab him. up after the war, they'll overook the. best man in the business," Good added.
