Termed a "very important" meet- ing by Dr. Charles Fisher, director of the extension service, the labor leaders will be instructed in labor history, labor law and economics, consumer's cooperatives, conversion of war work, public speaking and taxation.

The coming conference will be led by pro- fessors and union leaders. Manufacturing capital outlays this year will be close to five billion dol- lars, the Department of Commerce reported. Eye- Witness Tells Of Epic SeaVctry Big Jap Carrier Blasted To Bits As U.S. Fliers Score Repeated Hits (Continued from Page 6) able to see the ocean when the cloud layer ended. Japs Sighted Their course took them along the northern edge of the Island of Tagu- la, then north past the eastern tip of Masima. Lieut.-Comm. Hamilton, leading the dive bombers, picked out the Japanese 50 miles away. Visibil- ity was perfect, the sky cloudless, and the white wakes of the vessels showed as silver streaks on the emerald-blue sea. "We came over at 12,000 feet," Lieut.-Comm. Bob Dixon explained later. "Enemy fighter patrols were in the air, but they barely reached us as we eased off into our vertical dives. These fighters came right on down with us in a terrible free-for- all mixup, staying with us right to the water. Naturally we went for the carrier first. "It was obvious we had caught them by surprise. They had a num- ber of planes on deck, and one was coming up from the hangar deck in the elevator. I could see it all clearly as I kept my eye on them, sighting for the release point." Zeros Confused A dozen or more pilots told of that "fighting dive" the counts had made. The enemy were in Zero (navy) fighters--best Jap combat ship-and they seemed to be confused by the refusal of the scout pilots to be dis- tracted from their dives. While the pilots kept their eyes glued to their front dive sights, the rear gunners with their twin .30 caliber machine guns dealt with the Zeros. Fighter pilots sitting up at 16,000 feet with the heavy dive bombers reported that Dixon's dive was per- fectly made and his 500-pound bomb hit the Jap carrier deck amidships. Behind him Ensign P. F. Neely dropped his 500-pounder near the carrier's port side. The blast of Nee- ly's bomb tossed two burning planes over the side. Ensign Smith put his 500-pounder on the carrier's starboard anti-air- craft battery. It silenced the guns and blew three more planes over- board. Lieut. J. A. Leppler's scout bomber was attacked as the dive steepened to the vertical. His rear gunner, John Lisko, shot down two Zeros that closed to point-blank range, firing their cannon and .25 caliber machine guns as they came. Leppler saw a Zero on the tail of the scout ahead of him and veered in the dive ,enough to get it in the sights of his front guns. This Zero never came out of its dive and crashed into the sea. Leppler's 500-pound bomb missed the carrier, and he immediately zoomed away to make a second dive from 4,000 feet on a Jap cruiser. One 100- pound bomb hit the cruiser's stern. United Nations To Share War CostsOn Ability To Pay' Basis Jap Columns Drive Toward Vital Rail Center WASHINGTON, July 15.-(A)-The financial cost of the war will be shared by the United Nations accord-I ing to their ability to pay, Congress was told today in a presidential re- port which disclosed that lend-lease aid had reached nearly $4,500,000,000 by the end of May. This distribution of cost would be attained, the report said, "if each country devotes roughly the same fraction of its national production to the war." The document indicated that if the United States converted 50 percent of her vast production to war pur-I poses. she would call it square, so far as lend-lease is concerned, with any other United Nation which con- verted a similar portion of produc-' tion. Neither the volume of output nor the dollar value would be the governing factor. "Such a distribution of the finan- cial cost of war means that no na- tion will grow rich from the war ef- fort of its allies," the report said. "The money cost of the war will fall according to the rule of equality in sacrifice as in effort." The United States intends, the re- port declared, to avoid "the political and economic mistakes of interna- tional debt experienced during the twenties." It spoke of hopes that plans would develop soon for "a series of agree- ments and recommendations for leg- islation in the fields of commercial policy, of money and finance, inter- national investment and reconstruc- tion."
