1,600 Saved From Blazing U. S. Ship Thrilling Rescue By War ships Protecting the Convoy + The Naval Transport Wakefield, formerly the Liner Manhattan, was severely damaged by a Hre at sea, Sept. 3, but more than 1,600 pasengers and crew members were removed without loss ot life, The charred hulk of the 24,000 ton ship, one time queen of "the United States Merchant Fleet, has now been salvaged and towed to an Atlantic coast port, a Navy statement said, Adding that "preliminary re ports indicate that all the passen- gers and crew were safe, The Navy said several were injured. The fire was described as being of "undetermined origin." It broke out on one dock level and spread swiftly throughout the ten-year-old, $10,000,000 ship. It soon became necessary to re- move the more than one thousand passengers, many of whom were civilinng, the others presumably Being men in the naval service, the Navy related, In addition to the 1,000 there werd, according to the vessel's normal complement, 600 to 700 officers and crewmen ghoard, un- der Commander Harold Gardner badbury, of Port Angeles, Wash- fncton, «a Coast Guard officer, Flames Finally Controlled The Navy said the rescue was brought about in a thrilling man- ner by warships protecting the convoy in which the Wakefleld wus traveling to an Kast Coast port, A cruiser maneuvred its bow alongside the stern bf the trans. port and a destroyer placed itself along the side. At these close quarters the passengers were trans. ferred rapidly from the blazing ex-liner. The crew remained aboard the ship fighting to bring the fire un- der control, the Navy account con- tinued, but their efforts were un- successful and it soon became nec- essary for them alco to transfer to the cruiser. Aboard the ship they waited un- til the intensity of the fire had decreased somewhat and Com- mander Bradbury then led a spe- cial five fighting party back aboard the transport and succeeded In --pringing the {lames under- control. 2 Built In 1932 Meanwhile, tugs and salvage craft had been summoned and when they arrived succesefully be- gan towing operations.

Furthermore, .according to. the speaker, the Germans were per- manently awed in the last war by the fact that most of the air force aces were Canadians. Alsc the fight at Vimy ridge an. the repute of Canadians as shock battalions, all induced them to think Canada to be the home of a master race, For these reasons Dr. Klein con- eluded that it was a serious mis- take for Canada to refrain from the war of- political propaganda. "The voice of Canada sent either "directly from a new short wave statfon or. transmitted from the British Isles or Africa would im- press the enemy nations more than British or American propa- ganda," he said.

The else, or some other subject, Poor Shots A United States merchant skip- per was preparing to send a mes sage to the British corvette Honeysuckle lying near him in a Russian port recently, when 15 German dive-bombers attacked the harbor, shaking his vessel with bombs.

Antl-Japanese Attitude Com mon - Among The Natives The Office of War Information" reports that a Japanese campaign to win tho allegiance of French Indo-China natives had failed and that "an anti-Japanese spirit is common among the people." For a short time after the Japa- nese troops arrived, OWI said, "there were indications that the - newcomers were not unwelcome to the native population. The Japanese made overtures to the - Annamite circles with separatist tendencies and played up to the natives by paying double rickshaw fares and distributing free cigar- cttes." . Partial Conscription The natives' first impression ot the Japanese was "npllified as ad- ditional troops arrived," OWI said. "Large "iumbers of natives have been subjected to partial conscrip- tion, They receive from the Japa-- nese a minimum wage for double the work asked by French con- tractors. Trainloads of natives have been moved from the North to the South without any con- sideration for family ties. Natives were inadequately housed, and jammed into military trpcks to points where the Japanesé wished work to be done. "At one occasion at Ilaiphong, the Japanese authorities, unable to get more than a half train load of volunteer labor, sent out a military band to play popular airs, Soon a crowd of listeners gathered around the band, Japan- ese troops formed a around the crowd, and allowed the natives out one by one. Those who could not prove they were regularly employed were marched off under guard to the train. A high French official stopped the train before it reached Hanoi, and after a lengthy argument the Japanese took the train back to Haiphong and released their pris- oners." : The OWI did not disclose the source of its information. = The Unknown One It is the pilot instructor who takes the fledgling air student. and gives him his first dual time . in the air, nurses him into con- fidence in his ship, and eventually sends him off solo--with a pat. on the back, and a cold lump of ice in his own heart) The instruct- or dies a thousand deaths until his solo pupil returns, and then he takes him in hand again to turn that embryo confidence into an assured knowledge and the real thing.

The cost of producing one gallon of alcohol from pressed juices will be approximately two-thirds of the cost of producing..one gallon of alcohol from blackstrap molasses. Citrus pulp and peel waste from the Florida canneries is usually pressed out to supply annually 35,000 tons of dried pulp cattle feed and 61,000,000 gallons of "juice." Because the citrus rinds and pulp are mixed with lime be- fore pressure is applied, the juice is unfit for human consumption and is a pollution nuisance. From twenty-five gallons of this waste juice one gallon of 190-proof al- cohol, and about twelve" and a half ounces of dry yeast can be made. 2 OLD RUBBER If you think that the bits of old rubher that you can contri- bute can" make little difference in winning the war, consider 'theses facts: An outworn tire can pro- vied as much as sixteen pounds tube about two and five-tenths pounds, Fifty feet of garden hose yield twenty pounds of scrap and a single pair of four-buckle all- rubber arctics three pounds. There is a pound of rubber in every foot of rubber floor matting and another pound in an old hot- water bottle. In most cases, re- claim constitutes from 20 to 40 per cent of the rubber articles that we use. Synthetic Rubber Flow Speeded Up More than 950,000 tons of syn- thetic rubber will be rolling out of new United States plants by Nov. 1, next year, a War Pro- duction Board = report on buta diet» to the Ainerican Chemical Seciety disclosed last week. Butadiene forms three-fourths of the synthetic rubber and a'y- rene the rest. Only two or three days are required to comp ete the transformation from butadiene to rubber.

The Lord Mayor told the widow she could find solace in her loss in the knowledge that Adam died in gallantry so outstanding that he won the Victoria Cross, thg Empire's most coveted war de coration. Adam was with the Durham Light Infantry at Matruh in the Libyan desert. In one of his let- ters home he wrote his mother: "I am sorry for all the trouble I caused you .. You said you would not miss me but you will." The enemy attacked his anti- tank gun. All Adam's crew mates were killed or wounded. Adam's own left arm was almost blown off but, one-handed, he loaded and fired his gun five times. Wounded again, he dragged himself back to fire still another time when a direct hit smashed the gun and killed him, What ' probably - would have - given Adam satisfaction equal to his decoration was his mother's forgiveness. = "He was a wild lad," she said, "but there never was_any real harm in him, 2 "He was right when he said I. would miss him."
