" ' The city hall and court house, two of the few buildings re maining intact in the business district, were converted into emergency hospitals, but in the early hours there was little the workers could do for the suf ferers no medical supplies, no nurses, and only three doc tors to care for the scores of injured. Fallen trees and other debris delayed out of town re lief crews. Escape! Some of the escapes were amazing. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Fanning were uninjured when the tor nado wrecked their bedroom, but the featherbed on which they were sleeping and the comfort which they had over them vanished.

This was the first disclosure that the enemy still was pour ing troops ashore, bolstering his already formidable contingents for the attack on the prize air base. The communique said land fighting for the past 48 hours had been restricted to small skirmishes, but U. S. warplanes continued to bomb and strafe enemy positions west of the air field and destroyed two more Japanese seaplanes. Either for reasons of military secrecy or because of blackout communications, the navy in Washington divulged no fresh information or movements of the Japanese fleet in the critical south sea battle zone. The situation . suggested that a terrific Japanese naval assault might break shortly against ad' mittedly outnumbered U, S. war ships in the Solomon islands area, although other reports have indicated that the power ful enemy squadron of battle ships and aircraft carriers may have been seeking to skirt the Solomons and - descend upon American bases in the New Hebrides and Fiji Islands. On Guadalcanal, the navy re ported, American defenders broke up three more- Japanese attacks on October 27 (island time) and there was no indica tion that the enemy had en croached further on their nar row beachhead.

He estimated the overall deficit of manpower in the Industry would amount to 14 per cent of normal. "With less manpower, a cur tailment of production has taken place though the demand for lumber has grown by leaps and bounds," Upson said. "It all adds up to a lumber shortage." . Mathias W. Niewenhous, as sistant chief of the branch, said that in order to avert needless shutdown, dislocations and hard ships to the industry," a pro gram of concentration is in the making." The main features of the plan, similar to those already introduced in other war indus tries, would have some mills producing exclusively for war purposes and others taking care of essential civilian needs.

At the sama time, the reports said, another shock group would set out for Rzhev southward to Vyazma, then wheel toward Smolensk in an attempt to form a junction with the northern wing.

This feature alono, lie as sorted, Is enough to Jusiuy aoivm of the charter. Complaint Ho objected also to tha quali fications for holding city office, asserting that anyone having a "beneficial Int.rest" In property Is qualified so far as property Is concerned to hold office under tho now charter. Under this sec tion, ho said, anyone having a mero Iraoo on property could hold office. The old charter, he stotud, required that a person be an "owner" of p opcrty to hold office here. Tho attorney also complained to provisions whereby assess ment procedure Is to be handled by ordinance and not In tho char ter. Appointive Office Lea Jacobs, a member of the chnrtor committee, then took the floor and discussed briefly the question of civil service In the new charter. Me said that full provision for this function was not made in the charter, hut there was no Intention of leaving It out. The city council, he said, Is committed to adoption by ordlnnnco of all the civil service provisions of tho old charter. Jacobs also pointed out that tho charter provides for one new appolntlvo office. That ii the offlco of recorder, previously handled by the police judge, Ordinances Possible W. O. Smith, long-time mem ber of city budget boards, then came to the defense of the char ter as proposed, calling the ob jections a "tempest In a ten pot," He said that technical faults can be found with the old charter or any such document, but that In general the new charter is basic authority and that he be lieves it can be safely passed and will bring efficiency into the (unctions of the city government. He said that after the charter Is passed, the city council In 30 or 40 ordinances can provide for virtually all the regulations needed In the city, eliminating unnecessary material and codify ing that which should be contin ued. Mitchell Tlllotson, local bank er, then called uttentlon to finan cial features of the new charter which he regards as subject to question. Ho said that under the new charter, there Is not : sufficient protection thrown around the bond retirement money, and that a council could use this money as It sees fit. This, he said, might Injure the city's cred It. He also said the charter does not give proper authority to the council for borrowing money be' twecn funds, and the city might at times havo to rely upon the Is suanco of protested warrants when it has money available which might be borrowed from Its own funds If the charter granted this authority.
