ins that almost naif of the shells
some fired at point-blank range
failed to hit the ship.
Only one of the SI -man crew
was lost.
Survivors of the British mer
chantman were brought to Boston.
Their ship was one of four tor
pedoed in a west-bound convoy
the night of May 12, the survivors
gaid on arrival there. They re
ported that at dusk the next day
their rescue ship attacked with
shells and depth charges two sub
marines found on the surface re
charging batteries, but would not
say whether the submarines had
been sunk.
Corp. P. Oswald Black, 56. of
the Rayal marines, told of see
lac repeated racket flares as
ship after ship la the convoy
was attacked. (The fate of the
other three ships has not been
officially disclosed.)
Of the 72 crewmen and 10 pas
sengers aboard the British vessel,
46 reached port. The surv ivors ex
pressed confidence, however, that
the 36 missing persons hsd been
picked up.
Meanwhile the Brazilian freight
er Commandante Lyra was re
ported still burning at the port to
which it had been towed by a US
warship after it had been aban
doned at sea. The Commandante
Lyra, the seventh Brazilian ship
attacked by the axis, was torpe
doed by a submarine May 18.
RIO DE JANEIRO. May 17.
-(JP)-AgiUtion for Brasil to en-
gage In active warfare upon
axis submarines operating off
the Brazilian coasts developed
Wednesday as continuing and
somewhat confused reports of
U-boat activity reached the cap
ital. From Fortaleaza came an un
confirmed report that an Italian
submarine had surrendered to au
thorities at a northeastern Brazil
i ian port. The craft was identified
as the Pamplona, a name not list
ed in naval-directories.
Despite the confusion over what
was happening off the Brazilian
coast, neither US nor Brazilian of
ficials were willing to give r
clear-cut. statement.
The Rio de Janeiro morning
newspaper Diario Carioca in a
front page article Wednesday
urged the government to send
Brazilian air and sea forces into
.- active operation against the axis
submarines.
"Brazit has been repeatedly in-.
suited and damaged in her sover
eign rights," the paper said.

until June 4 and that priority In

will report at Fort Des Moines
In July.
When the District of Columbia
office opened, the women were
ready but the office wasn't. There
were no pink slips, and when they
arrived 45 minutes later, 50 wom

The first in line here was Sy

University of North Carolina. She
wants a radio assignment.
Laughing Eyes, 29-year-old

Meanwhile, the Salem Council

which has had a sponsoring inter
est in the Japanese church at Ha

that it had received as a gift the
properties of that church. Deeding
of the property, which includes
the parsonage and community

the belief of the Japanese that
their eventual return here is
doubtful and at least distant.

the sum of approximately $5000,
with the explanation that "due to
the war emergency and resulting
emergency budget requirements,
the committee can not find a place
in the budget for this appropria
tion this year."
Another farmer request, for an
increase in the predatory animal
control fund from $500 to $600,
however, was granted.
A proposal that $500 be bud
geted for salary of a special
deputy sheriff to patrol the bean
fields during the harvest season
was revised downward to $200
and accepted.
The committee declared against
allocating funds to the White
Shield home for operating ex
penses, but appropriated $350 for
the Louise home, toward the lat
ter institution's building program.
No action was taken toward
establishing- a courthouse con
struction fund, a matter offered
for the county court's consid
eration by last year's bndret
committee and questioned again
Wednesday by Mr. Chllds.
County Judge Grant Murphy
said a definite, program had
been in the process of formu
lation but had been dropped on
"December 7."
The budget committee's task
was eased somewhat by the fact
that the county's payments to
the state relief committee for
next year were expected to be
lower, by $4000 in the case of
aid to dependent children, $9824.30
as to general assistance (direct
relief) and $6000 as to old age
pensions. Appropriations for the
three items were set at, respec
tively, $26,000, $60,000 and $94,

House Denies
Drop to $42
WASHINGTON, May 27 -IP)
For the second time in two weeks,
the house overwhelmingly voted
Wednesday for a minimum pay of
$50 monthly for service men. It
sent back to conference a com
promise proposal worked out by
a senate-house committee recom
mending $42.
The action virtually eliminated
any chance for a service pay boost
becoming eff ective ' before July 1
since the bill provides that any
raises shall become effective on
the first day of the calendar month
following its enactment For the
increase to go into effect June 1,
the conferees would have to reach
an agreement and both branches
and the president approve it by
Sunday. House leaders already
have announced their intention of
adjourning after Thursday.
Senate and house consideration
of the bill providing allowances
for service men's dependents, a
companion measure, also may be
delayed.
