Doney said patrol plane went up early this morning and a combined surface and air earch for the submarine was being pressed today. Came From Sub Col. Doney said it was known definitely the shells came from submersible but that it was impossible to tell what kind of sub from the fragments un earthed so far. From the sounds they created the colonel de scribed the. shells as of "high Telocity and flat trajectory." The attack found the military reservation on the alert but many of the soldiers not on duty admitted ruefully they had slept through the shelling. Answer Most' observers here believe the purpose of the shelling was an answer to Secretary of War Stimson's statement after Mid way that the possibility of attack on the west coast had become more remote. Grinning Oregon beach resi dents were unmistakably pleased today they bad been attacked by the enemy. The thuds of cannonading awakened scores in this resort town. Residents flocked to the turnpike to watch the flashes, of gunfire to the north, but did not realize that the Oregon coast was under enemy attack for the first time. From Portland Mayor John H.

"W i t h changed conditions, such as less Sunday driving and war-time needs, it may well be that many former restrictions affecting logging and lumber production can be modified or withdrawn in the interest of the war program without affect ing public health and safety ad versely," Nelson said...

The British line along the frontier Is of slight use, some commentators believed, so long as the axis has tanks to flank It through the oases of Siwa and Giararub, and the reinforcement of Rommel by a division or even so much as a brigade might tip the scales heavily in his favor. One of Britain's leading mili tary experts said dive-bombing not only decided tho issue at Blr Mochelm but was "to a great extent responsible for tho fate of Tobruk."
