Page Two. THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE. OREGOW 'I ; Survivors Tell Of Raider Fight (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) stroyed, largely to the "very gal lant action ' of the Jervis Bay. It Is said that despite "greatly i (erior armament" the Jervis Bay "continued to engage the enemy after she had been severely hit and was burning furiously," and exploded after a two-hour fight Twenty-four ships in the convoy were reported to have reached ports, five others were reported safe and, the admiralty added, "It is possible that some of the ships still missing may be safe." Among the vessels reported al ready in port were the liner Rang. ltiki and the freighter Cornish City, whose distress calls were heard in the United States the night of the attack as the convoy was steaming from Canada to England. "It was a sunny evening when we picked up the (German) ship on the port side at 4:50 o clock, said one of the Jervis Bay officer survivors. "She was a long way off. I don't know which of us saw the other first. She opened (ire first, though. ane ciosca 10 gei imo range, and we closed, too, leaving the convoy. We got between the en emy ship and the convoy and drop. ped smoke floats to screen the merchant ships from the raider.' Captain Olander of the rescue freighter said the fight that fol lowed was "glorious," and added in halting English: "I'll never forget it." He fled, with the rest of the merchantmen, but turned back after dark to search the calmed seas for survivors of the escort ship. Captain Qlander said he thought he saw five merchant ships in the convoy struck by shells fired by the raider. He thought the raider's second salvo of shells, aimed at the Jer vis Bay, overshot and damaged the Rangitiki. The survivors brought back talcs of heroism which ranged from their captain's persistence at his post though severely wounded to an account of a seaman who, when the Jen-is Bay's flag was shot away, climbed the rigging amid shellbursts and fasteded a new ensign which still waved through smoke clouds as the ship took her last plunge. "I think everybody aboard was proud as our ship turned to meet the enemy," the officer related, "Our captain knew just what we were going to get, but it didn't matter." nouncement of Camacho's recognl tion was the first government ex pression here on the controversy. In Mexico, the action of the Unit ed States was received as welcome news, with special gratification manifested at the appointment of Wallace. Mexico, however, apparently was only one of the Latin Amen can nations to figure In state de partment consultations yesterday. Secretary Hull, Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of Navy Knox conferred for almost an hour and it was believed in well-in formed quarters that hemisphere defense provided the major topic. The progress of defense nego tiations with other American re publics was reviewed, these sources believed, and consideration given to the necessary subsequent steps for advancing the program with all possible speed.

Recognizes New Mexican Leader WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. Formal recognition of Mexico's new president-elect and reports of Intensified efforts for hemisphere defense collaboration gave evi dence today of continuing admin istration preoccupation with mut ters pertaining to pan-American solidarity. The recognition of General Avlls Cainachn as the Mexican president-elect hud an unusual aspect, for it was accompanied Inst night by the announcement th.-t Henry A. Wallace, vice president-elect of the United States, would represent this country M the Cainachn in auguration In Mexiro City lire, 1.

(By the Associated Press) Diminishing winds over the Great Lakes aided heroic marine rescue efforts today while bitter cold enveloped most of the mid, continent. Coast guard crews battled Lake Michigan's frigid waters in an effort to keep down the death list written as boats sank or broke up under the pounding of the worst storm in years.

Sewell, 6tate office engi neer for the work projects admin istration, arrived in Eugene from Portland Wednesday noon to pre pare estimates of WPA labor costs in the groundwork for Eugene's new super airport. The main work probably will be done by open competitive contract under supervision of the U. S. army en gineers with full time labor at full time wages but some portions may be left for WPA on the margins. Working with John Quiner, city engineer draftsman, Mr. Sewell will make cost estimates Wednes day afternoon as requested "by the city aeronautics board, in the event that WPA national defense funds will be appropriated for the Eu gene airport. The WPA estimate must be sub mitted to the civil aeronautics board In Washington, D. C, by Nov. 19. The city made application for a WPA grant for airport construc tion two months ago. If granted, WPA funds will go only toward grading and runway laying, J. J. O'Farrell, Eugene district man ager, stated. By the terms of a WPA national defense appropriation passed by congress last June, any projects so designated take precedence over other WPA projects in the district. which in Eugene s instance would mean the immediate postponement of present WPA work to throw laborers into the airport job, pro- vmea ine war aepartment aesig. nates Eugene's air field as essen tial to national defense.

(IP) The Greek high command reported to day a stream of Italian wounded and prisoners was pouring back to concentration camps behind Greek forces advancing through "pil laged" villages abandoned by re treating fiisci.it troops. Generally, though, there was quiet along the entire front-a lull, described by neutral military ob servers as the end of the first phase of the war. It was believed here that Gen. Ubaldo Soddu, undor-secretary of war and newly-appointed com mander in chief of the Italian forces in Albania, was reoreaniz- Ing his troops and devising a new plan of campaign. Supporting this view was ine Inct that there has been no Italian attack of anv con sequence in the past few days. Chamberlain's Remains Cremated In London ' LONDON.
