TN some manner not disclosed in A detail, the British fleet is sup porting the land attack on Bixerte and Tunis. Maybe shelling the axis positions or using carrier-based planes against them. Or both. Participation by the fleet seems to indicate that our side has air superiority. Otherwise the warships could hardly be risked so close to land. AS showing the nature of the fighting, the Germans drop ped 50 parachute troops DIS GUISED AS ARABS to delay our attack on Tebourba (just west of Tunis.) The dispatches report that they were quickly mopped up. But you can Imagine the rum ors that will spread among the Arabs, whose friendly co-operation we need, upon hearing that men in Arab dress have been killed by the British and the Americans. Spreading rumor poison such as this is a favorite German device. COUR axis merchant ships and r two axis destroyers convoy ing them are reported today to have been sunk by British naval forces in the western Mediter ranean. This is a part of the all- important campaign to keep re inforcements and supplies from reaching the Germans in Africa. A lull is reported at El Agheila, where Rommel is sup posed to have made a stand in the narrow defile between salt marshes and the sea. One guessea from this that his posi tion there is too strong to be taken by storm. fHE Jap radio today is putting " tal aKmif "rwMvorfitl U. S. naval unit" attacked Mon day night by a Jap torpedo flotilla just off Guadalcanal. They claim to have sunk one of our battleships, a cruiser and two destroyers. Don't pooh-pooh the report wholly, but remember that Jap tales such as this have usually proved moonshine. There is also the strange yarn today from San Francisco of a considerable number of un identified ships 450 miles off the California coast, resulting in a general alert and the calling of navy men back to their ships. As to this report, keep your fingers strictly crossed and WAIT. Only E Bonds to Count on Record Klamath Quota Klamath county's war bond quota for December will not only be higher, but only the E, or smaller type bonds, can count on it, War Savings Chief A. M. Collier reported Thursday. The new quota is $249,370, against a quota of $242,400 in November. In November, F, G and E bonds were allowed to go on the quota. . Husky men are now doing jobs of no community service that could be done by women. We'll have to tap those sources be cause, even with the much great er participation of women in war industry, there are still many types of activity that only men can carry on. B. C.

The navy told of the battle In a communique which said that the task force went out north of Guadalcanal in the night and found the enemy troop transports escorted by combatant fleet units in waters immediately north of Guadalcanal. The enemy was interrupted in his attempt to reinforce and sup ply his troops on the island. No landing was effected." the com munique said. Some Japanese sailors floating on life rafts were rescued by American forces the day after the battle. The navy said they Identified one of the enemy destroyers sent to the bottom as the Taka namL The Takanami is not list ed in the latest records of Jane's fighting ships, but was believed to be a destroyer of about 1500 tons displacement. Marine patrols attacking en emy forces on Guadalcanal have wiped out another 55 Japanese in the Solomon islands and cap tured a quantity of arms and ammunition, the navy an nounced today. Daylight attacks by army and navy aircraft continued to harass enemy positions on the island. 5 Naval Transports Lost in North African Landings (Continued From Page One) transports, one U. S. destroyer and one U. S. tanker were dam aged during the operation. "3. The next of kin of per sonnel killed, wounded, or missing are being notified by telegram as soon as information is received." The communique identified the Tasker H. Bliss as the former liner President Cleveland, con verted at Baltimore and placed in commission by the navy Sep tember 15, 1942. She was built for passenger service at the New port News Shipbuilding and Dry- dock company, Newport News, Va., in 1921, and as a merchant ship had a crew of 235. Her gross tonnage was 12,568, The Leedstown formerly was the Santa Lucia. She was built at Kearney, N. J., in 1931, and had a gross tonnage of 9135. The vessel was named for Leedstown, in Westmoreland county, Va. The Hugh L. Scott, formerly the President Pierce, had gross tonnage of 12,579 and car ried a crew of 240 as a passenger vessel. She was converted at the Todd Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company, Hoboken, N. J., and commissioned by the navy last September 7. The vessel was built for passenger service by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding company, Sparrows Point, Md., in 1920. A war department official said the army's list of 1910 casualties in the African campaign made public November 23 included all known casualties of both the army and navy at that time. It would be assumed that any cas ualties in the loss of the five transports were in that list which Included 350 army per sonnel killed, 900 wounded, and 350 missing; ten navy personnel killed, 150 wounded, and 150 missing. in WAYNE John CARROLL Anno LEE PAUL KELLY CORDON JOKES Starts SATURDAY MIDNITEI T 1 mm mum mmw Ml Jo Applications for Coffee, Sugar, Tires Held Up (Continued from Page One) was made were asked to get along on their A rations for a few days before taking the mat ter up with the board.

Short on charges of accepting unauthorized payments from the county await the assignment of a judge to the case by the su premo court. Mrs. Short filed an affidavit of prejudice against Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg, Judge Vandenberg indicated that he had intended to dis qualify himself if a motion had not been filed. The county clerk furnished bond of $1500 on each of tho three indictments on Wednes day. It was believed unlikely the supreme court will assign Cir cuit Judge Arthur D. Hay of Lake county to tho case, in view of his appointment and early service on the supreme bench. Judge Hay In the past few years has sat on most Klamath cases in which the local judge was disqualified. A judge mentioned for pos sible assignment to the case Is Circuit Judge Ralph Hamilton of Bend, but there was no indi cation that the supreme court has considered any assignment as yet. Mrs. Short s appearance In court Wednesday afternoon was for Justification of sureties on her bond, only. Bondsmen are Walter Hannon, her son-in-law, and Mrs. Ellen Hannon, mother of Walter Hannon. The case Involves the alleged acceptance of $95 for various services In addition to Mrs. Short's regular pay as county clerk. m.:i: i " uniuennrieu Vessels" Reported Off West Coast (Continued from Page One) Later In the day the 12th naval district issued this statement: "Early this morning the navy Issued a notice for radio dissemi nation that all personnel on leave from ships and stations on the west coast return to their ships and stations.
