5 r'ERS. SET Washington, July 14 U.PJ The navy revealed tonight how the anit-aircraft guns of two de stroyers the Hugh W. Hadley and the Evans shot down 38 Japanese planes in an hour and 43 minutes. This is the largest single-action bag of Japanese aircraft ever re corded by ships of the size of the Bailey and the Evans. The action took place while the two destroyers were on pa trol off Okinawa on the morning of Hay 11. The U. S. ships were attacked by more than 150 en emy planes 88 of which ended up in the water from the guns of the destroyers and a supporting group of marine Corsair pilots. Both ships were damaged. The Evans suffered four suicide crashes on her decks and hull while the Hadley took hits that ultimately flooded both engine rooms, one fire room and put the main gun battery out of action. Corsair fighter pilots, though heavily outnumbered joined the battle and shot down about 50 Japanese planes while covering the destroyers. ' The Evans, smaller of the two vessels, is credited with 15 planes shot down and four "as sists" in 73 minutes, while the 2200-ton Hadley established an all time navy record for destroy ers by bringing down 23 Jap planes in 105 minutes. In the last 30 minutes of battle, the 'Hadley protected the crippled Evans while her crew put out fires and made repairs that saved the ship. The Evans is skippered by Capt. Robert J. Archer. ' TAKES 3 MONTHS L Numerous Inquiries from land lords and tenants pertaining to sales of rental property and pos session by the purchaser have been received at the Rent Con trol office during the past few weeks, according to Marvin Hix on, area rent representative, When a landlord acquires the property after the effective date of rent control and the tenant in occupancy is the tenant of the vendor, the landlord must file with the rent office for permis sion to evict the tenant if he wishes to occupy the premises for his own use.

African Police Chicago, (U.R) The American girl who thinks leg make-up is strictly an American invention will be interested to know that African tribesmen were the first leg artists. Dr. Wilfred H. Hambly, cura tor of African Ethnology at the Chicago Museum of Natural His tory, says tribesmen trained for police work by the British West African government completed their uniforms with leg make up. "The uniform of the Nigerian police was a dark blue, with knee breeches and blue puttees," says Dr. Hambly. "But more often than not, the feet were bare, but shining through with an unnatural gleaming black luster." No shoes were worn and all the toes were visible, but at a distance the effect was that the policeman was wearing patent leather shoes polished to a dazz ling splendor, the curator says. "The solution to this mystery came unexpectedly during the early morning visit to a govern ment station, where a number of policemen were preparing for parade," Dr. Hmblay reports. "All their feet were up on a low wooden bench and shoe polish was being liberally ap plied to the feet and lower legs. Then the men vigorously brush ed until the skin of their feet and legs had a high polish." Dr. Hambly observed this cus tom on an African expedition.
