Matthew Dunn Dies;
Former Pennsylvania
Representative
Overcame Handicap
Of Blindness; Served
From 1933 to 1941
Matthew A. Dunn, 56, who over
came the handicap of blindness to
be elected four times to the House
of Representatives from the 34th
Pennsylvania District, died late yes
terday at Pittsburgh after a long ill
ness, the Associated Press reports.
Mr. Dunn, a Democrat, decided
not to run for a fifth Term hi 1940
on advice of physicians. Before his
service in Congress, he served six
years in the Pennsylvania Assembly.
While in Congress, Mr. Dunn intro
duced bill after bill designed to
"wipe out poverty and unemploy
ment.” although few of the meas
ures got out of committee.
The former House member lost
one eye at the age of 12 after being
hit by a snowball and the other
eight years later while wrestling.
Mr. Dunn was born in Allegheny
County, Pa., educated in Pittsburgh
and Myersdale. He sold newspapers
as a boy. After losing his sight he
became a student in the Pittsburgh
and Overbrook Schools for the
Blind, being graduated from the
latter. His service in the House was
from 1933 to 19*1.
His widow, Mrs. Minnie Rudolph
Dunn, survives. Funeral services
will be held in Pittsburgh Tuesday.
Casey
(Continued From First Page.!
likely to be in the most serious battle
the United States Navy had ever
fought except the debacle at Pearl
Harbor—that it didn't, turn out that
way does not change the logic of the
forecast. Since the first British fleet
moved into the Mediterranean in
this war, struggles between planes
and shins have been bitter, no mat
ter which side won. This spectacular
form of murder was just about to be
given a fair trial by an alert United
States fleet, and the idea of this
sprightly gob, who might presently
be dead, was to get a box seat to
watch the pompoms go off.
No Sign of Crisis.
Save for the turmoil of moving
men aboard ship, there was no sign
at all of the impending crisis—the
sea blue and calm—majestic men-of
war moving in classic formations as
in the drill of San Diego—the sky
tufted with fleecy clouds but seem
ingly empty and serene, horizon to
horizon. But we hadn't long to
wait. The noise quieted as the men
took their places about the ack-ack
guns and the quickly repeated calls
to the lookouts could be heard even
against the whistling wind:
"Enemy aircraft ofT port bow
enemy aircraft overhead."
Then, presently, the outpost of the
Jap air fleet came out of a cloud.
Six planes there were, high in the
path of the sun and well ahead of
us to starboard. We had expected
that they would be big—only big
ones could get out here from such
unsmashed land bases as we had
left to the Japs. And these fitted
the specifications. Two looked like
Douglas commercial airliners—four
were something like Consolidated
oombers, powerful-looking and beau
tifully designed.
Strategy Was Strange.
What determined the subsequent
strategy of these planes Is some
thing which will have to be worked
out in Japanese. Maybe the com
mander had not expected to see a
large fleet below him when he came
out of the cloud. Maybe he thought
the immediate crippling of this unit
worth all the costs.
Anyway, the four largest bombers
made no attempt to dodge our ack
ack in the clouds and jockey for
position over a hole through which
they might drop their bombs in some
security. Instead, they continued
to glide on at the speed at which
they were traveling when first we
had seen them; glide right down
into the heart of our formation.
About that time the inquisitive lad
on our ship saw what happened
when the pompoms went off.
The whole fleet apparently began
to fire at once—not that you could
hear anything save the bedlam tum
bling down about your ears, for from
closer at hand all guns were firing.
The bright sky in the path of the
descending bombers seemed looped
The mellowness of oge • the1 richness of natural
beauty • the unmistakab'e evidence of unre
laved core • the definite assurance of perpetual
upkeep.

Citizens Asked to Help Solve
War-Caused Problems Here
The Board of Trade today sought
the assistance of newcomers and
old-timers alike in a survey designed
to produce suggestions that might
help to solve problems arising from
concentration of the war effort in
Washington.
A special committee studying the
economic effects of the war program
on the Capital has prepared a ques
tionnaire soliciting suggestions and
criticisms from residents. Joseph
C. McGarraghy, committee chair
man, said the suggestions would aid
th« committee in subsequent dis
cussions and recommendations.
Subcommittees already appointed
are studying staggered hours, traf
fic and transportation problems, and
Mr. McGarraghy said the scope of
the committee'* work would be
broadened as suggestions are re
| ceived. The committee also will in
terview Government and private in
| dustry workers to obtain ideas.

Planes Still Came On.
Still the planes came on under a
full sun. recklessly, magnificently
and quite foolishly, for if they had
the luck to get through this screen
of flying iron they still had the job
of pulling up out of a power dive
without the aid of braking flaps.
And one of our aviators, just back
from the morning's wars, thought
that would be their chief difficulty.
"The wings will come off those
things,” he said. "Too big a strain,
like that. But, boy, if they make it,
they’ve got that ship cold.”
And it looked like it. It looked like
it for an entire 20 or 30 seconds that
seemed beyond all calculation of
time. Squarely for the ship in the
middle of the formation, they went
| —all four of them. It seemed impas
sible that any human agency could
move that vast, lumbering, vulner
able man of war out of the way of
a suicide attack such as this—the
man at the wheel would not have
time to throw the rudder over be
| tween sight of the squadron and the
crash of bombs. After that, it
seemed likely that the sinking would
not take much time.
Miracles Begin in Annapolis.
But, in the Navy, miracles begin
back in Annapolis or some place
where they cultivate quick reflexes.
Somebody in that looming ship over
there beyond us had thrown the
wheel over while his brain was still
signaling the presence of Jap planes.
! And the ship—somebody else's mira
cle—instead of starting on a sidling
movement like that of a coy ferry
boat, swung around with a rush of
white water on a radius almost as
short as a destroyer, at a speed that
few ships In the world will match
ever—and that speed, believe me,
wasn't too much.
So the planes came dowm and
hurled their tons of dynamite and
that section of the beautiful blue
Pacific came up off its bed and made
a wall of water through which we
couldn't see the other half of the
fleet. But the man-of-war wasn't
there. With split-second timing she
had moved squarely from her course
and definitely from a trip to the bot
j tom. None of us will ever see a
bombing episode quite like that, no
matter how long the war.
And the planes—one had almost
! forgotten about them, watching the
1 bombs and upflung cataracts and the
_
spectacle of a wet ship shaking her
self In safety. But out of the corners
of our eyes we saw them, just as the
operators of Chicago pianos saw
them while our attention was dis
tracted. They were interested, for
i the moment, only in the bombers
and with fine disregard for the
dramatics of the piece, they threw
thousands of slugs a minute into the
path of these lads, so intent on be
coming heroes.
One Plane Flattens Out.
So, when the crash came, and the
waterspouts settled back, we saw one
plane flatten out for a climb and rise
again in a slow wobble that made his
chances for return to his base look
debatable. Two after him did better,
and climbed rapidly with the colored
, balls of tracers bursting along their
[ wake. And the fourth—one turned
just in time to see the* burst of an
explosive bullet just behind the
pilot's coop. The plane shook. The
engine conked. The pilot apparently
tried to stretch out the glide and
reaach the deck of the ship he had
been trying to destroy.
But he guessed wrong. A couple
of hundred feet off the starboard
bow of its former target, the big
bomber hit the water, spread out
briefly on the bomb-churned surface,
then upended and knifed to the dis
tant bottom.
There was another air attack later
that afternoon. The two planes that
resembled Douglas transports came
back again at 12,000 feet and
dropped a few 500-pound crumps
with reasonable accuracy but no
damage. Our fighters went up and
chased them and, according to re
ports. sank one before coming back
for tea. But that, as everybody in
the fleet except probably the suc
cessful pursuit pilot will agree, was
something of an anti-climax.

Alaska Governor Urges
Offensive Against Japs
By the Associated Press.
Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska
discussed war problems with Presi
dent Roosevelt yesterday and said
that "we are thinking in terms of
an offensive war, not a defensive
war."
He told reporters that in Alaska
defense problems were considered
extremely important and when he
was asked what he had in mind
specifically in way of additional de
fenses, he replied:
"We naturally think the offense
ought to be bolstered."
Asked whether more bases would
be required for that. Gov. Gruening
said "more of everything" was need
ed. He added there were 155 land
ing fields of every description in
the territory’.
The Governor did not go so far
as to indicate that any plans were
being drawn up to launch a counter
attack against Japan from Alaska,
although territorial air bases are
on the shortest straight line route
from this country to Japan.
Scattered Amboina Points
Still Held, Reports Indicate
By the Associated Press.
SYDNEY, Australia. Feb. 14 —
Army Minister Francis E. Forde said
today that “reports received by mili
tary intelligence from natives and
other unofficial channels indicate it
is likely that Australian units are
still holding out in scattered strong
points on Amboina Island,” second
largest Dutch naval base already
admitted lost by the Netherlands
Indies command.
“Japanese attacking forces com
prised 13 transoorts and several
warships,” Mr. Forde continued.
“Last messages confirmed that
landings were made at three points
and added that all code books had
been destroyed before the (Austral
ian) forces took up their battle posi
tions.”
Monopoly Complaint
Filed Against A. P.
By Labor Agency
Federated Press Charges
Restriction of Supply
Of News Pictures
By the Associated Press.
The Federated Press said in a
statement yesterday that it had filed
a complaint with the Justice De
partment's Anti-Trust. Division
charging the Associated Press with
violation of the anti-trust laws.
(The Federated Press, in the
statement distributed to news
offices in Washington, said it was
a non-profit co-operative news
service for labor papers which
furnishes news, feature material
and pictures to more than 150
publications published by inter
national unions, central labor
bodies and local unions, affiliated
with the A. F. L. and C. I. O. and
unafflliated unions. It is owned
by its member papers, the Press
said, and is not a part of the
official family of any group in
the labor movement.)
"The complaint alleged that the
A. P„ by scrapping a picture mat
service which it had acquired from
the New York Times," the Fed
erated Press said, "was restricting
the supply of news pictures for more
than 100 labor papers served by the
Federated Press, as well as a large
number of small newspapers and
community weeklies.”
Thurman Arnold, Assistant At
torney General In charge of anti
trust enforcement, told the Asso
ciated Press in reply to Inquiries
that an anti-trust complaint had
been filed against the Associated
Press and was being investigated in
the usual way. However, Mr. Ar
nold said he was not at liberty to
divulge the complainant or the na
ture of the complaint until th«
Justice Department was in a posi
tion to make recommendations.
In a previously distributed state
ment the Federated Press pointed
out that it had contracted to buy
mats and pictures from Interna
tional News Photos at rates 25 per
cent above the Wide World price
for the first year and 50 per cent
higher for the second year.
The Federated Press also said
that another syndicate quoted a
price about 125 per cent over the
Wide W'orld rate.
At the general office of the Asso
ciated Press in New York, it was
stated that the mat service of Wide
World Photos was discontinued for
economic reasons. The Wide World
photo print service itself was not
affected by this action and con
tinues in operation.
