Wash., Nov 17 (AP) A Henry J. Kaiser hipyard claimed another rec ord today a three-day ihip launching. A tank landing craft slid in to the Columbia river from his Vancouver yard here last night, Jurt two days, 23 hours and 40 minutes after keci-iaying. Size of the vessel was secret, the navy announcing only that it was smaller than the 10,300 ton Liberty freighters , with which Kaiser has set construc tion speed records. Good Record Mrs. Edgar F. Kaiser, wife of Henry J. Kaiser's son, who is general manager of the yard here, sent the craft down the ways at 11:40 p. m. by break ing a bottle of champagne across its prow. Yard officials said the 71 hour, 40-mlnute launching was one-fourth of the normal time for such ships. Kaiser's Richmond, Calif yard holds the record, four days, 15 H hours, for Liberty ship launchings. Previous record for smaller vessels was set last week by the Pacific Bridge company, Ala meda, Calif., in launching the Samuel Very, a 4000-ton cargo carrier, in three days, eight hours.

CONTINUATION OF IF TRAFFIC LIGHTS BACKED Conservation of a few cents worth of rubber and gasoline does not compare with the saf ety of human lives in the opin ion of the traffic safety council, which advised the city council Monday night that they recom mended the continuation of the stop-and-go lights, The letter, presented by Sam L Ritchey, chairman of the traf fic safety council, was accepted and approved by the council and a motion made that the let ter be published in full due to the number of inquiries on the matter of turning off the lights with the forthcoming rationing program. Here is the letter: Wot Warranted, Th Traffic. Safety Council has been asked to consider dis continuing the use of the Stop and Go light for the duration. After considering the matter thoroughly, we wish to recom mend that they be continued as we do not place the conservation of a few cents' worth of rubber and gasoline above the safety of human uvea.' "It is-true that the traffic is less now than when the lights were installed, but we feel that the amount of traffic has not decreased enough to warrant the discontinuance of the lights.

It has been asserted that the stopping and starting at he lights wears out rubber unneces sarily, but actually the amount of rubber wasted is not compar able to the amount of money saved by the decreased accident rate at these intersections; and the amount of gasoline wasted is not comparable to the amount wasted by vehicles on side streets waiting to. break into the line of traffic on Main street before the lights were installed "From the viewpoint of saf ety, particularly to the pedes trian and especially school chil dren, we are of the firm opinion that the operation of the lights should be continued. Traffic Safety Council, By Sam I. Ritchey, Chairman. BIG TANK PERMIT distinction of a 55,000 gal lon fuel storage tank by the Southern Pacific to protect their supply in this area under pres ent war conditions, was approv ed, by the city council. Monday night. Tbe railroad company presented an agreement to va cate a section of land in -the vicinity of Orchanrd and Gor- dn avenues and Eldorado street, where the tank will be Installed. Representatives of the rail road company advised the coun cil that the war production board had requested construc tion of the tank by December 31, and had waived priority rights. An ordinance was in troduced . and passed the first and second readings Monday night( the third and final read ing slated for next week, ap proving the construction. The question of property own ership of Klamath Humane so ciety holdings near the city was brought up before the council by Joseph C. O'Neill, attorney for the group. The society has offered the city $500 for a deed to the property. The matter was postponed until ownership of the buildings could be Identi fied, and referred to the city attorney and president of the council. - Dan Farris, safety director of the Junior chamber of com merce, was appointed an ex off icio member of the traffic safety council. Estel - Affleck was appointed a member of the council to fill the vacancy caused by the the resignation of Ramon Kent. The council requested that property owners keep thlr side walks clean during the present unpleasantness.

Who ever took the machine will find it won't play without a few new parts, Murphy stated. "A child's tricycle was stolen during Monday's snowstorm, ac cording to Mrs. Lavenin, 231 North Ninth street. Katie Beyers, route 2, box 537, left her car parked at the Big Lakes Box company Tues day morning. A prowler re moved two Indian blankets. Officers thought the same thief made off with a lunch bas ket belonging to Charles Berry, 1405 Etna street. The lunch was stolen from Berry's car. Jud Smith, 2111 Halley street, asked police to locate his 21 jewel Hamilton watch which is missing. In police court two drunks. two vags and two traffic tickets made up the Tuesday morning report. MacArthur Leads Jungle-Toughened Troops on Buna (Continued From Page One) ity of Awala, only 30 miles by trail from Buna, with Austral ian and American forces clos ing in rapidly from the west and south against a steadily re treating enemy. The Japanese faced either a last-ditch stand or an attempt to flee by sea. Buna is their only coastal toehold in Papua but up the New Guinea coast they have strongholds at Lae and Salamaua, some 150 miles away. Japs Strafed General MacArthur last had been in the field during the bat tle of Bataan to direct active operations. American B-25 medium bomb ers and A-20 attack planes teamed with Australian Beau fighters to strafe and bomb the retreating enemy around Buna and along the Kumusl river. Japanese were fleeing toward the coast in canoes going down the Kumusi which reaches the sea northeast of Buna and these frail craft thrice were made the targets for allied planes.

It gives off the odor of sulphur when thus treated. 1 P HAND N ISLAND AREA (Continued from Page One) processes of attrition operates more against them than against us. Remember tlml we build faster with our greater resources than they do. But remember al so that the Japanese operate pretty much in home waters and adjacent waters. . Our navy is spread all over the seven seas. While the Japanese fleet has suf fered severely to date. It is still operating in comparatively nar row waters. Knox said that the enemy had had numerical superiority in the theater of action during the pe riod of the battle ending last weekend, and said the American triumph had been won In spito of that. : "I can not speak In too high praise of the qualities displayed by the navy In this action," the secretary asserted. Knox relayed to his press con ference a message from Major General Alexander Vandegrlft, the marine commander on Guad alcanal. Vandegrift, Knox said, described the outcome of the na val action, which he obviously had watched with the utmost concern, as a crushing defeat for the Japanese. The marine gen eral also praised the naval forces participating and, Knox said, properly and deservedly com plimented his own air forces on Guadalcanal. There has been no further word from the battle area on the still unreported results of what apparently was the conclusive encounter of the running sea bat tle of last week. This encounter occurred on the night of No vember 14-15 and Knox said in formation as to results was still lacking here, but would be re leased as quickly as possible once it came in. Since the secretary had char acterized the Oolomon cam paign as a series of "rounds," he was asked how many rounds it might go on, that is how many times the Japanese could come back and how many rounds there would be. 'The only safe assumption," he replied, "is that they will come back and that Is exactly what we are making our plans for.". Asked why each side was In vesting so heavily In the battle for control of the southeastern Solomons, Knox said that the is lands were obviously of first class importance to the United States because they flank our lines of communication and sup ply with Australia and from them the Japanese could make direct attack on those lines. They are Important to the Japanese, he continued, because they could serve as a base for hammering away at Australian supply lines. In commenting on the con struction of American warships as compared with the enemy s construction program, Knox said that the "speed of delivery of our combatant ships Is one of the most gratifying phases of the whole picture and that the process of converting large non combatant ships into aircraft carriers was going along with gratifying speed." He was asked whether this country would not be able to re place easily and quickly ' Its losses in the Solomons battle of two light cruisers and ' six de stroyers.' In reply he simply re minded the conference that on Armistice day the Federal Ship building company yard at Kearny, N, J., launched four de stroyers. i ill I fan M MMNHWI jtUMefl NEW TODAY "I Dood It" SKELTON Says times he stressed that they were only temporary. He said he had asked for the liberation of all persons In North Africa who had been Impri soned because they opposed nail efforts to dominate the world Also, he said he had asked the abrogation of all natl-lnspired laws and decrees. Mr, Roosevelt noted that French troops, commanded by General Henri Glraud, already were fighting In Tunisia, by the side of American and British soldiers, for the liberation of their country.

One outfit said the wrecker started out Sunday night and had re turned to the garage only to re ceive additional calls. At least five cars were overturned by the slick pavement and scores were stuck in ditches and drifts. The Bly mountain area was said to be particularly bud. Another wrecker operator said calls started coming In at 8:30 Mon day morning and "hadn't stopped yet." There were plenty of call from drivers within the city limits as even the silRhtent hills became hazards through out the day.' 12-Inch Snowfall A huge tree standing In front of the Walnut apartments on Walnut avenue, in the rear of the city hall, crashed and fell across a car owned by Jim my Floyd.
