"The target was closing in'* said Burlingame "and we were returnnig coming down the coast toward Lin- garen OidL We let down from S,0<K) feet to 2,000 feet out to sea to Jettison the bombs when mr engine quit. I turned inland and saw I was oter hlllr countrr but noticing some fields three to four miles hi front of me headed for them. Mr instruments were reading okeh but when I tried all gas tanks, there was no results. "1 fastened all mr straps when I was about 400 feet off the ground. I didn't haVe time to put on mr oxrgen mask and glores. Suddenlr I realised that I hadn't dropped mr bombs so at 600 feet I puired the salvo and dropped them. I stretched mr glide to get over some trees to a rice pad dle. At 300 feet I cut off mr switches. ‘‘1 had Just cleared the trees at 110 miles per hour and dropped mr Qaps to get on the field which was Terr small and was about fire feet <)^f the ground and readr <o set the plane down when I noticed a F'illpino wom an and little bor'^about 100 feet dl- rectlr ahead of me. Ther made no effort to moTS. I knew that I’d hH the ground before I could reach them but would skid into them. i So I pulled the plane up to get oVer them. In doing this I killed the last bit of air speed I had. The plane stalled and went down on hbr left wing Just ten feet berond the Fili pinos. The wing crumbled and the plane skidded along, tearing off the scoop .and bend mg the right Wing. Just as I saw the prop fir past mr head I lest consclousnese. "When I came to I was standing in the cockpit inspecting the gun eight with Filipinos all around the plane. I couldn't remember anrthing for awhile. As mr senses graduallr re turned I had four Filipino Guerillas guard the plane and had a colored enlisted man take the parachlte out of the plane, tear It up and form the letters "O. K.” on the ground. The Filipinos took me across the field to a bouse and cleaned uP mr scratches and wounds, using mr first aid kit In a few minutes four radar men came running across the field, sur prised to fmd me allre. Ther told me ther Imd seen me in the air and sent in a report saring I was going down. After resting awhile I left with the radar men to go to their outfit We came across an artillerr captam and an aid men with a stretcher. I climbed on the stretcher and ther carried me to their recon and droTS me to the hospital. Mr onlr regret /is the fact that I couldn’t make a good landing due to the Filipinos, because I believe the plane would have been repairable."

It is now about 207. The Combined sw ages mar lag m their upward move ment due to investors switching wlse- Ir from rails to industrials. SO much for stock prices. Mr chief interest at the moment is in connection with commoditr prices —that ia what readers must par for food, clothing and shelter. L hence, came over to New York, which is the central market on these basic com modities. to get the facts. There seems to be two schools of economic thought on the part of able-thj^ing men. This is whollr independent of the row over .the OPA which is a ques tion of politics and not of economics. The first school group—although they are in the minority^—believe that we will have continuing high prices through 1946 and 1947 but that this rise will bring about a buyers’ strike. This will be due partly to the fact that the great mass of people will then have cashed in such of their "E” bonds as they 'intend to sell, and partly to their determination to wait for lower prices. This may especially be true in the field of building. There is a limit to what people will pay for a new house. The National Housing agency has Just released a careful study on home building. They find that a house which would have cost 15,000 to build six years ago would cost $8,250 to build today. Houses under $6,000 have gone up 65 percent and houses! over $6,000 have gone up 57 percent* In certain sections of the Pacific coast it is claimed that building has gone up 100 percent. 'These Increases are cer tainly (mt of line with the advances in oth^ living costs which amount to onlw^bout 80 percent. Over a long pM’iod, prices are de termined by supply and demand. Even labor unions cannot do much to af fect .the l<mg trend of prices. Improve ments in the standard of living are due to increased production and new inventions rather than to labor unions. Over a short term, however, labor unions can griMCIy affect prices by raising wages, shortening hours and especially by slowing down "the number of bricks laid per hour’’. This is true today and will be in 1947 when labor unions may be in even a stronger bargaining position. Most of those whom I interview belong to the second school of thought; they do not expect the buy ers’ strike but rather slowly rising prices for some years to come. Most businessmen are now short of labor; over 2,000,000 more persons are em ployed today than a year ago. In some industries ^ere exists a real short age of labor. On the other han\ many lines of industry are running into' a very competitive market Many more concerns wllj be making every pro duct than before the war..’rhl8 should tend to keep down profits and make the price rise orderly. Food: Ex^ptlng a few products, such as fruit, dairy products, etc., there should be no mcreass in food prices after the Europeans get a good crop. Labor is returning to the farm. Improved farm machinery will be on the market and—barring unseasom able weather conditions—there may soon be a surplus of crbps and even lower prices. Clothing and other consumer goods: Clothing prices wBl" "be" higher. Tha Industry is heavily unionised and the OPA has been unfair to clothing mann- facturers. There also is a shortage in other lines. 'With the exe^km oC clothing. I expect only a moderate rllb in prices of consumer goods fa general unless congress raises mini mum wages above 50 cents.per hour. There,' however, should be a smalL but gradual, increase in the prices of consumers for some time to come. Housing: The cost of building will continue to increase imtil there is either a buyers’ strike or the unions permit reasonable building codes and the use Of modem methods such as paint spraying, etc. At the moment, the building trade unions havp the American people by the throat. Some day they will regret their present fool ish actions. Buy - Sell - Rent ISIS WANT ADS AdT«rtiMm4nu uadw this besdins will b« charged for at tb» rate of 1 caat par word. Minimum charga 28 cants.
