Several hours after the battle, while (teaming - at 20 knots, a terrific internal ex plosion rocked the Lexington, causing serious fires to break out in many parts of the ship. Gas Fumes Ignited" ' ' "It was first thought that the explosion was the result of a 'sleeper" bomb. Investigation re vealed, however, that the prob able cause was the Ignition of gasoline vapors which resulted xrom leaks in ruptured gwuii&v lines in closed compartments below decks. . ' "The crew fought heroically for mors tfesa -five-hears-. to save the ship but were at great disadvantage because .the ex plosion had damaged' much of the fire fighting equipment "Destroyers1 were sent along side to assist with their pumps, fire house and - chemical fire fighting equipment The wound ed were transferred from the burning carrier to the destroy ers alongside. - "Finally, with all 'machinery disabled, the ship stonp nd flames - enveloping nearly her entire length, it becam; Appar ent that any further attempt to save her, was futile and the captain ordered the ; crew to 'abandon ship'." ' The loss was disclosed in con nection with an official review of the navy's part in the entire Coral sea campaign, starting March 10 at New Guinea and running through May 8 when enemy aircraft inflicted such damage on the Lexington that several hours later she explod ed and sank, with a relatively light loss of life. As against U. S. losses which the navy said had been instru mental in disrupting Japan's strategy against Australia, the navy announced the Japanese had suffered: Sunk: . . v, . One aircraft carrier, S heavy cruisers, 1 light cruiser, 2 des troyers, several transports and mall supply vessels. Severely damaged and prob ably sunk: 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer. Severely damaged: More than 20 ships, including 1 aircraft carrier, 3 cruisers, 2 aircraft tenders, 3 destroyers. The heaviest losses of the enemy' were inflicted in an at tack on Salamaua and Lae, New Guinea, March 10 when aircraft from a Factfic fleet task force commanded by Vice Admiral Wilson Brown joined shore based planes from Australia to attack the enemy bases. This attack, previously re ported as having been made, although the fact that carrier based planes participated had not been given put, resulted in the sinking' or" damaging of more than 20 Japanese ships plus heavy damage to shore in stallations. The second phase of the cam paign was the battle of the Coral sea which started May 4 after reconnaissance had shown concentration of enemy shipping and aircraft in preparation for an advance into the Solomon and Louisiade islands. The navy said the ' enemy losses included "the new Jap anese aircraft carrier, Ryukaku," and that "serious damage" was Inflicted on the Shokaku, an other carrier. . Naval sources here expressed belief that the Ryukaku was a CREWR SGUED war On ot about- June 20, 1942, we expect to be able to take applications (subject to the approval of the WAR DAMAGE CORPORATION, a Federay agency) for WAR DAMAGE INSURANCE Government blanket protection now in force will expire June 30, 1942 TERM OF POLICIES On year Full premium must accompany application RATES ?

Speculation Mounts On Next Steps Against Axis Power (Continued from Page One) question of opening a second front in Europe this year brought various reactions. In Washington, few congress members believed that the White House announcement of agree ment on the "urgent, task'-'- of creating a new front portended any immediate attempt to land allied troops in Europe. London, Washington and Mos cow were all agreed on the "ur gency" of the matter; but offi cials shied at a direct interpreta tion of the rather ambiguously worded statement. London military observers de clared Hitler's anxiety was be trayed by two factors: 1. Frenzied German 'efforts to secure the channel coast against invasion. 2. Indications that Hitler was massing his' armies for an all' out attempt to smash Russia be fore the allies can establish a sec ond front VITAL STATISTICS ; JAMES Born at Klamath Valley hospital, Klamath Falls, Ore- June 12, 1942. to Mr. and Mrs. Edgar S.

Nearly 13,000 Germans have been killed end more than SO tanks and 60 planes destroyed by the defenders of Sevastopol in three days, the midnight com munique declared. The reference to advancing German units was unmodified by any report of counterattacks. The single sentence covered all operations in a Donets basin area still scarred from the com bat set off May 12 by Marshal Semon Timoshenko's drive against Kharkov. Foreign Commissar Vyache slav Molotov issued a 1200-word diplomatic note charging deliber ate atrocities to tlw Gsrmaa high command. Molotov said the nazi plans embraced "extermination of the soviet population, prisoners of war and guerrilla fighters by bloody violence, torture and exe cutions, and the massacre of soviet citizens, irrespective of their nationalities, social stand ing, sex or age." President Sets June 15 for Start Of Rubber Drive " (Continued from Page One) board, but it will be the rubber recovery corporation under the RFC which eventually will buy up for the government all the scrap rubber turned in. Mr. Roosevelt emphasized that it would not be a money making proposition. In this connection, a statement from the petroleum industry war council said today that "any or all profit" which might accrue to the oil companies in the transaction would go to the United Service organizations, the army relief, navy relief and Red Cross. ' Oil companies have volunteer ed their personnel and facilities. and trucks will pick up the old rubber at filling stations and bring it to central points, where Jt will be taken over by the rubber recovery corporation. Oil delivery trucks on rural routes will make pickups directly from farms. Noting that 92 per cent of the normal rubber supply had been cut off by Japanese victories in the southwest Pacific, the presi dent told reporters the govern ment must count on scrap in at tempting to deal with the rub ber problem. The army and navy, hs said, have been forced to cut their use of rubber by 23 per cent.

THE new U. S.-Britaln-Russla deal has quite a little to say about AFTER THE WAR. If, after this war, we are to have peace for any considerable length of time, the United States, Britain and Russia will have to GUARANTEE It. Two ways to guarantee peace after this war: 1. BE DECENT to each other and to the rest of the world. 2- KEEP OUR POWDER DRY, ANOTHER of history's plain lessons: The only way peace can be retained is to be willing, able and READY to tight for it. THE British government an- nounces that Britain and Rus sia have agreed to keep an armed peace against Germany after the nazis are beaten In this war and have renounced greed or MEDDLING in the affairs of other nations. TT doesn't matter much what the pore over its draft as printed in the papers. What will count will be good faith, tolerance of the rights of others and maintaining an OVERWHELMING MILITARY FORCE. Two thousand years of history prove that Germany can be handled ONLY by the threat (backed by trained men and guns) of superior military force.
