BIX MEDfORD MAIL TRIBUKI Thursday, June Navy Tells Daring Exploit Of Sub Attack On Jap Ships Washington, June 7 (U.R The navy revealed today the dar ing exploit of a U. S. submarine that sneaked at night into a har bor lammed with Japanese ships, surfaced under the muzzles of enemy guns and torpedoed ves sels all about it, then got away In a miraculous exhibition of broken-field running. It is the sort of thriller with which boys' series books about war are filled but which sound too incredible really to have hap pened. This episode was real enough, however, and earned Cmdr. Eu gene B. Fluckey of the submar ine barb the medal of honor and his entire crew the Presidential unit citation. Jap Haven Entered Here is the story: Fluckey had long suspected the existence of a geographically concealed haven, otherwise un identified by the navy, which hid large number of Japanese fight ers, tankers and munitions ships. It was a dark night, with poor visibility, that Fluckey found his target. A large number of aux iliary Japanese ships were in an anchorage behind a protecting screen of escort vessels which were concentrated on every logi cal approach. The 'vater was so shallow that an attacking sub marine would have to remain surfaced during its approach and for at least an hour afterwards, Still, anchored there in the harbor was one of the best tar gets ever presented by the en emy. Fluckey decided to attack despite the heavy odds. His danger-laden escape in volved flight through uncharted waters filled with mines and rocks and a route packed with fishing Junks. But he figured the Japanese escorts would hesitate to make a run through the rocks and would find the fishing junks a handicap. Presently, the Barb moved in side the screen of Jap escort. She let go with all the torpedoes she could in the time available, gave full right rudder and moved toward the rocks at full speed. Ships Erupt From the bridge of the sur faced ship, Fluckey could see Japanese ships erupting in the night like a nest of volcanoes. Columns of fire leaped from sev eral vessels. The first target set tled in the water. Some of the vessels hit were obscured by oth ers burning in the line of Vision. Only the Japanese now know how many ships went down that night. Fluckey had no time to stop and count. Japanese escorts came in hot 7, 1945 pursuit, tossing a haft of shells In the direction of the fleeing Barb. Many hit close by but all missed. The junks confused the enemy and several of them were taken as targets insstead of the Barb. ine escaping submarine exe cuted a perfect maneuver of "broken-field running" and reached open water at dawn. A Japanese plane spotted her and she submerged for the first time since sighting the target the night before. And the entire crew lived to tell the tale. ASHLAND PLANS EFFORT 10.

Rlrerslde Medford Phone 4757 Ashland, June 7. Ashland to day is offering its ideal climate, healthful elevation and many other advantages to the govern ment in a bid for the veterans' hospital which the Veterans' Administration has stated it de sires to build in southern Oregon or northern California. Telegrams were sent today by the city of Ashland through Mayor Wiley and by the Ashland Postwar Planning Council to Oregon senators and congress men, requesting that Ashland's advantages be presented to the Veterans Administration and that that organization be asked to investigate local sites before any decision is made. Medford, Klamath Falls and other places are also bidding for this veterans' facility, but Ash land leaders feel that, since Roseburg has its Veterans' hos pital, Klamath Falls the Marine base and Medford Camp .White and since Ashland has all the elements required for such an institution that the Veterans' hospital should be located in or near Ashland. Redding is the -main applicant from California for the Veterans' Hospital, with a site near Shasta lake having been proposed for the hospital. Ashland was once considered for a hospital, but no action was taken on It at that time. A brief. outlining the many suitable sites in the Ashland area, will be sub mitted to the proper authorities before the question is decided leaders stated today.

Mr. tloover said the President had taken a "wise step" In ap pointing Rep. Clinton P. Ander son, D., N. M., as secretary of agriculture. He commended Mr. Truman for his plan to consoli date the War Food Administra tion with the department of ag riculture. .. "But the most hopeful part is that we have a new regime tack ling the problem," Mr. Hoover told a press conference. "Every body wants the President to succeed.' Rumors Denied Mr. Hoover denied rumors that he would accept a govern mental post in connection with post-war food relief. In answer to a question, he said: Bear in mind that I am soon going to be 71 years old. I was 47 when I had the food job in the last war. My position in the world is that of an adviser." The former president said he had just left Washington, where he had engaged in a discussion of our domestic food situation and the relief of the liberated countries of Europe." Black Markets Blamed Mr. Hoover said the principal muddle "is local famines over the country due to maldistribu tion and black markets." Still a further evidence is a 30 per cent decrease in the hog population at a time when we ought to be Increasing it," he added. "The American hog is our principal source of fats. Fata are second only to bread as Im portant foods." When asked the reason for the decrease, Mr. Hoover replied, "It would take me two columns to answer that," and then added: "You can control prices but control is far different from freezing prices, You can control water going into the city mains, but if you freeze the water, you will get nothing. That is one cause of the trouble." ehfldren who have been attend ing the school. x The school, In progress for the past two weeks, has grown In interest and numbers under leadership of June Reichae and Dorothy Starr, with their help ers from the community.
