Sailors Adrift After Loss of Bomber Crew in Pacific
A four man Navy crew aboard a Consolidated B 17 bomber is rescued after seven days adrift in the Pacific. Survivors include Sergeant Constantine Rusesky, 29, of Shenandoah, Pa, and co workers Arvid W Anderson, 26, Sidney L Darders, 25, Joe Gagnall, 9, and Virgil T Murray, 25. The raft was found after their destroyer escort spotted the survivors circling beneath heavy overcast. The crew endured salt water, rations of water and chocolate, and feared sharks as searches continued near an island base.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court heard an appeal from Lackawanna county commissioners who sought to quash a writ from a Republican group to remove over 9,000 names from the county voting list. County Solicitor Mattes argued the removals stemmed from a mass exodus of workers to war jobs in the anthracite region. Republican candidates Peck and Worls contended that any disenfranchised person still has access to due process to obtain remedy.

Kiska Remains Lone Japanese Base as Attu, Agattu Lost
Allied forces blasted Japanese positions on Attu and Agattu as U S warships and Liberator bombers struck the western Aleutians. Japanese losses included 28 ships sunk or damaged and 40 planes, while Kiska faced sustained air and sea attack from Andreanos island base.
