August 11: We're getting sir raids regularly. Watched 30 big silver Jap planes yesterday, circling over the air field at 25,000 feet and then swing away without dropping bombs apparently looking for the ships. Dick Tregaskls (I. N. 6.

Terms of the included a board pledge to charge time lost by clerks during the 10-day controversy against vacation or sick leaves, if permissible under the law.
