' turned to the United States to
night after conferences with

Soviet Planes j
Sink Vessels
In Black Sea
LONDON, May 10 -Jt) In one
Of the final chapters of the fall
of Sevastopol, planes of the Black
sea fleet sank two 4000-ton Ger
man transports, a patrol launch
and several high speed, landing
craft and damaged several other
vessels aboard which the Ger
mans and Romanians were trying
to flee, the Russians j announced
today.
' On the land fronts there were
no important changes! said the
soviet midnight communique,
broadcast from Moscojw.
; The Germans contended ' there
still was stiff fighting j on the Se
vastopol beaches on the extreme
western tip of the Crimean penin
sula. That area is small and flat,
in contrast with the hUla around
Sevastopol itself, so jthat if the
German and Romanian remnents
have indeed made a stand there
it was likely to be of khort dura
tion, j
The Russians already had be
gun the gigantic task Sf repairing
the port of Sevastopol1 even while
the smoke of the furious final
assault curled over the ruins.- Ex
perienced British naval and mili
tary men predicted the Russians
would have the nort in workins
condition, "in some degree, with
in a very short time, and that, its
possession would give the soviet
airmen dominance over the whole
Black sea area immediately and
soon would ! make, possible j in
creased trade with Turkey and
opportunity to supply the Crimea
and western Ukraine with lend
lease supplies by water instead of
the previous long rail, routes.

hearing from which the public
was barred."
Avery said the attorney gen
eral delayed a decision on the
firm's motion to dissolve a tem
porary court order, restraining
company 'executives from inter
fering with . f ederal operation,
until the plants were returned.
He ' continued: ; ":;:r;, ' '' 1
"After ' Ihe surrender,' nothing
remained for the court to decide
and the" Case was dismissed. By
imposing Jthe ' order ' of ' the WLB
upon Ward's -by force, while de
priving Ward's of an opportunity
for a decision by the courts, the
agent of the government had dem
onstrated lack of respect for our
consutuuon ana me lunaameniai
rights which ; t h e constitution
guarantees. . . i. !
"The fundamental issues must
still be determined in the courts."
There was no immediate com-r

While - the nazi propagandists
talked- of "new units' and new

fenses prepared by the German
military machine, their principal
propaganda mrdiimn, DNB, de
clared "The decisive hour will

- The . agency ;. also quoted Hit

no illusions over the bitterness of

(A Blue network correspondent
reported from London that Pierre
Laval, chief of the -French gov
ernment, 'had asked the Germans
to transfer the French government
seat to near Paris, fearing that
when the! invasion comes French
parachute troops may strike
swiftly to isolate Vichy.) J .

sized ' the theme that allied ar

as have never before been seen,

Leo "tried" Jast. Thursday
by .a court of his peers i (that

or rather, he tried them for hav

him at an earlier court session.
.They got Les Leserer of Mont
gomery Ward to defend them (on
the theory that not all Ward's ex
ecutives could be tossed out in
one week) and lost the case.
Concensus of opinion (among
the peers who had their neckties
cut off) is that there is too much
"horseplay" at Lions club meet

word for it! And the necktie IH

Pure Oxygen;
Found to Act :
As Medicine
By HOWARD A. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK, May 10-(ff)-New
uses for pure oxygen, as medi
cine injected by needle directly
under the skin, were reported to
the Medical Society of the State
of New York- today. .
Oxygen helped arthritis, infec
tions, ringworm, sprains and dis
locations, wounds and burns. The
report was made by Dr. John H.
Evans, of Buffalo; -
In arthritis the' oxygen was
first tried for a right hand that
was swollen and painful. The gas
failed when for -four days it was
injected at a site some distance
from the ailing hand.
But when 'injected directly into
the "hand, and' the nearby forearm,
the pain stopped ' permanently
next day and the swelling was re
duced. Other similar arthritis at
tacks were relieved by placing the
oxygen directly at the site of pain
and swelling. s
For" burns, the oxygen is in
jected into the burned site; and
immediately adjacent Dr. Evans
said the new skin seems to grow
faster. Pain is less. : .
