Penang is an important base for operations in the straits of Malacca. Dutch Score Hits The Dutch continued to supply encouraging new,. A communique in Batavia said that Dutch air men scored direct hits on two Japanese cruisers, a transport and another warship apparently being a,s. f.Plane carrier in an at tack off Miri, Borneo. The Japanese hold Miri, a coast al point in Sarawak which is ad jacent to British and Dutch Bor- Sff; St" Dutch were confident that that base would not threaten their rich colonies because of dif ficult intervening jungle and mountain country. A Washington communique said that a U. S. submarine sank an other Japanese transport. For the first time American units stationed in China along the Burma road as volunteer airmen went into action. They shot down four Japanese planes without a loss to themselves when the Japa nese attacked Kunming, a Chinese communique said. Station Blown Up In their attempt to relieve pres sure on Hongkong the Chinese said their troops blew up the Shumchun station on the Canton -Kowloon railway right at the mainland frontier of the Hong kong colony, and that heavy fight ing subsequently developed about 20 miles north of that point. The white House disclosed last night that "joint planning for unity of action" soon would em brace all countries fighting the axis. Negotiations for such an allied supreme war council al ready, had been reported under way. War Council Considered At the same time it was author itatively reported that president Roosevelt was considering the cre ation of a supreme U. S. war council with powers greater than those of the cabinet. Such a body Would have militnrv. nnlttipal artA labor leaders as members in order to gain the maximum efficiency in prosecuting the war, it was said.

The tanker's crew put on their lifebelts during the attack and were still wearing them when their ship reached Santa Cruz. The vessel anchored offshore. No one except coast guardsmen were al lowed aboard. 8.O.S. Relayed The Emidio's SOS was picked up at 3:30 p.m. by the coast guard and relayed to the navy station at Eureka. A coast guardsman at Table Bluff, who reported the freighter was riding low in the water, said he was unable to de termine if it had been struck by the torpedo. Indications, how ever, were the craft was disabled. The two attacks were the first reported since the 2140-ton freighter Cynthia Olson was torr pedoed and sunk by a submarine 700 miles out of San Francisco within 24 hours after Japan open ed hostilities against the United States with the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor December 7. Lumber Aboard The Olson, manned by Jl men, carried a load of lumber. It was the former. Matson freighter Co quina, owned by Oliver J. Olson and Co., San Francisco. President Roosevelt announced December 8 that an American ves sel had been topedoed "between San Francisco and Honolulu." This vessel, it developed, was the Olson. No report was ever made whether the ship's crew was saved or lost. Since December 7 there have been unconfirmed reports of other submarine attacks on American ships, including one attack in Hawaiian waters. Censorship. however, has prevented investi gation of these reports. Mai. Gen. Harmon's disclosure of an attack by U. S. planes on an enemy submarine was contained in a letter of commendation to officers of his command. Special Mention "Special mention." Harmon's letter said, "is made of the alert ness and prompt action of the airplane commander and crew of an airplane squadron of this air force (second air force) in spot ting immediately and attacking a submarine ' while in seaward re connaissance." The tanker Agwi - World Is owned by the Richfield oil com pany. It was built in 1921 by the Sun Shipbuilding company of Chester, Pa. Its port of registry is Los Angeles. Admiral Greenslade made his disclosure that submarines were operating off the California coast in a statement praising shipyard welders for their patriotism in re maining on their jobs despite a walkout called by the union. (Rear Admiral John W. Greens lade, commandant of the 12th na val district, said the navy would not deny the attacks and author ized: tne use oz any information obtained independently.) All Shots Miss It was learned an enemv sub marine riiihw1 B "ww Vliff" surfaced 20 miles . off Cypress point, near Santa . Cruz, Cal., 80 miles south of San Francisco, and urea elgnt shots wiui its deck gun at an oil tanker proceeding from Los Angeles to San Francisco. All the shots missed. The freighter Emldlo sent out an SOS off Cape Mendocino, about 200 miles north of San Francisco, saying it had "sustained a tor pedo attack" by a submarine, Reports Confirmed (In mid - afternoon Admiral Greenslade issued a statement say ing the navy had confirmed that enemy Submarines are operating off the California coast.) A coast guardsman at Table Bluff who saw the Emidio said he was unable to determine whether the freighter had been hit. Wanted a Gun In the attack on the tanker off Santa Cruz, it was learned that the shin successfully eluded the submarine and fled full speed into Santa Cruz harbor. The captain of the tanker was quoted as saying: "I would have given anything for a gun. The submarine would have made a good target." Pat on Life Belts It was understood the crewmen of the tanker put on their life belts during the attack and were wearing them when the ship made harbor. Tonight the tanker was anchor ed safely. U. S. army and navy planes were patrolling off the Santa Cruz coast, obviously In a grim hunt for the-underseas raid er. - Pt. Cypress is on the lower rim rt Monterey bay near Carmel and Pebble beach famed California art colony and resort spot respec tively. As far as could be Warned, the submarine oft Pt. Cypress did not fire a torpedo at the tanker. Ships Get Orders At Santa Cruz, all ships were ordered off the harbor waters. It was impossible for civilians to reach the anchored tanker. Last Wednesday Ma. Gen. Mil lard Harmon, commander of the 2nd interceptor command,, an nounced an army bomber dropped explosives on a submarine. No lo cation was given for this action. Red Cross Has Three More Days (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) every effort to postpone consider ation of Authority bills during the progress of the war and prudently to conserve our resources, limit government expenditures to es sentials for winning the war, and that they use their best efforts to bring about wholehearted and complete cooperation between government and private agencies in providing adequate power to carry on our war effort. And Be It Further RESOLVED that this Association give further study to the provisions of the bills referred to, and that when the same come up for consideration by the Congress it be prepared to express its views with respect thereto. - And Be It Further RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be sent to each member of the Con gress from Oregon. these were Saturday, however, and reports will be made early in the week. i The Elks lodge led fraternal or ganizations oft with a $250 check, Charles Sigman, chairman of the fraternal orders committee has an nounced. The Eagles lodge has made a contribution of $50. Reports from the county cam paign were encouraging according tc Chairman E. G. Boehnke. First complete report was from West fir and. Lowell where the quota was more than doubled and the 'drive completed in 48 hours. G. V. J. Ramsdell was chairman of this district. Mr. Boehnke urged his workers to complete the drive by Dec. 24 it possible, but said that he realized that long distances and the incle ment weather might make it necessary to continue "mopping up" operations after Christmas. Dr; Donald Erb, chairman of the University committee, announced Saturday that the drive had been completed on the campus because of the imminence of the Christmas holidays and that a full report would be made the first of the week. The results are extremely encouraging so far, he said. : In a report on the progress of the city campaign,. Gordon. Orput, chairman, said Saturday that those workers who have turned in par tial or complete reports are hav ing good results, and he urges the others to let headquarters know how they are doing as soon as possible. He also! urged them hot to pass up anybody - who wants to con tribute even if they dont have a card assigned to them for that in dividual. When payroll sheets are left with a firm or factory, the worker responsible must call back and pick up the sheets as soon as they are filled out, Mr. Orput de clared.
