the Japanese landed. 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

target."
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

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.

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. "The sheets won't take care
of themselves!"
