The county court wishes to urge the fullest cooperation with the blackout rules and reg ulations by every citizen in Jackson county.

S. army and navy planes, not warships, repulsed the attack. Previously, a German broad cast had reported without con firmation that great sea battle between the United States and Japanese navies was raging off Manila.

"Our first bombing attacks on six transports at Vigan resulted in direct hits on three hostile ships and damage to the remain ing three, one ship capsizing and sinking immediately, the war department said. The communique was the first report of an American victory in the 4-day-old conflict now flaming across thousands of miles in the Pacific.

British Minister Alfred Duff Cooper announced in a broad cast from Singapore that there had been considerable loss of life on the Prince of Wales and the Repulse. The two ships carried a nor mal complement totaling more than 3,000 officers and men.

'TOJO' LANDS IN POLICE CUSTODY Police Officer William W. O'Brien came into the station nouse during the night lugging what to all intents and purposes appeared to be a man somewhat under the weather. The man was a life-sized dum my labeled "Tojo." By a coin cidence the Japanese premier's name is Tojo. The dummy wore blue pants and a blue Boy Scout Cub jacket from which identi fying insignia but not the brass buttons had been torn. The head was made of a gunny sack. Officer O'Brien found "Tojo" hanging from a street light post. Closing tins haj classi'led Ada a m. Too Late to Classify 13:30 p.
