TORRANCE, Calif Not. 14-
UpwTbis bustling industrial city
looks Friday as though a squad
ron of bombers had embed over
and let go with sights trained
on only the old at business
buildings.
Shattered window casements
and most of them are bow out,
They look as if something had
hit them from the sky, not from
the ground beneath. The picture
after today's quake is different
than 1933. Then buildings were
Just twisted off their foundations
Other walls are going to fall.
You could almost stand and watch
them disintegrate bending out
and out from the strain. The col
lapse may come at any instant
Barricades keep the curious away.
So do the police. Most sigh
seers are stopped outside the bu
siness district. At one time to
day, there was a twa-mile traf
fic jam on an incoming highway.
Jack Lynch, owner of the
wrecked hotel Torrance, was
philosophical;
"Up in Banror, Maine, where
I come from, we were taught to
take It. I bought this hotel as a
gamble two years ago and It
looks like I drew the wrong
cards. 1 was Just starting to
make a little money, but I had-
n't attended to getting Insur
ance." . Stores were closed, but bars did
a thriving business. Reaction, no
doubt.
"This place was condemned in
ihe 1933 quake," one tavern keep
er remarked. "But you notice
we're still in business, and you
notice business is good."
In from the street reeled a
man, a lampshade tied to his be
fuddled head with a baby ribbon.
In a few minutes he reeled out
again.
A woman was talking:
"That first quake tossed me
clear across the room. It's a
good thing, because It tossed my
new refrigerator where I Just
was.
Probably no one is calmer in
an earthquake than a veteran Cal
ifornia unless it's an oriental
who already has a head start in
the matter of poise. Yukio Ta
mura missed being buried under
efashlng brick wall by Inches.
V 11 though llfhtamr had
truck with that first quake,'?
h said. "Then I realised It was
Just an earthquake and was
Just about to turn over and" go
hack to sleep. Then everything
caved in."
One liquor store proprietor
moved his stock into the street
with a broom. Did you ever smell
mixture of wine, beer, whisky,
fin and gingerale particularly
after a few hours in a warm sun?

Just before she sank she had a

A torpedo struck the big ship
with a shuddering crash, putting

"In only a matter of moments
she was listing alarmingly," the

"The engines stopped and it
was then that the first order
was given to abandon the ship.
The sea was calm so that an ac

to come olose under the rails
and throw up ropes on which
the men slipped down to the
destroyer's forecastle.
"This is aduxury torpedoing,"
commented one marine lieuten

The captain, some senior and
engineer officers and a number of

unsuccessful attempt to get the
engines working again.

We managed to get some steam up

Germans Admit Bitter
Fight on All Fronts ;

(Continued from page 1)
I orcements still were moving up.
Of the central front, the Ger
mans acknowledged Russian coun
ter-attacks "in considerable
force," and reported that the in
itiative was passing back and
forth between the two groups Of
armies. The smashing of 58 Rus
sian casemates and the capture of
a number of villages was claimed.
but the general tone of Berlin's
accounts of this theatre conceded
what was not admitted directly:
that matters were not going, too
well for German arms.
In the Crimea no advance of
consequence was claimed by the
Germans. They described the ap
proaches to both Sevastopol and
Kerch the one the southwestern
Crimea red naval base and the
other a bridgehead to the Cauca
sus as hard and bitter roads to
travel.
The German high command
did claim, however, that both
cities were under artillery fir
and in the ease of Kerch this
was described as "observed
fire" that is, not mere haphaa
ard cannonading but fir eon
trolled by officers who could
see and select their targets.
Nearly all th Black sea ports,
some of them pictured by the Ger
mans as exits for retreating Rus
sian troops, were under bombing
attack.
Th day's principal development
in the Pacific crisis was Japan's
decision to create an extraordinary
war fund- of 3,800,000,000 yen, or
nominally about $874,000,000, and
a general account appropriation of
510,000,000 yen, or about $117,300,
000. All this, of course, suggested
a strong feeling in Tokyo that
matters in the Pacific were
worsening, bnt it might well
have been a gesture intended to
tie in with the conversations
soon to begin between President
Roosevelt and Saburo Kurusu,
the extraordinary Japanese en
voy sent to this country in what
is usually termed a final effort
to patch things up.
Kurusu arrived by plane during
the day In San Francisco and told
newspapermen:
"I cam to offer my all-out as
sistance to my colleague, Ambassa
dor Nomura, In Washington. I
fully realize the difficulty of my
task. But I hop to break through
th lin and make a touchdown."

At the bidding of President Roose
