Indicating raiders were back gain. The air ministry ald last night's raid was carried out by a strong force of bombers, but did not immediately disclose the specific targets, merely declar ing that objectives In the south west had been attacked. United Attack The Sunday daylight attack which preceded this assault was described as the biggest of the war. . A cloud of 400 fighter planes provided cover for the 200 United States and British bomb ers which carried out yester day's forays. ' Norwegian, Polish, fighting French, Canadian, New Zealand and Indian fighter pilots partic ipated in the action, making it truly allied operation in every tense of the word. Lille again was one of the targets yesterday, squadrons of Flying Fortresses of the U. S. army air force unloading tons of explosives on the Fives Lille Locomotive and Carriage works. FIVE JAP BASES (Continued from Page One) naval battle three weeks ago. - Raiders Return American marines, the Jungle trained ' "raiders" who volun teered for one of the war's most dangerous fighting Jobs, wiped out 400 Japanese soldiers and five bases while losing only 17 of their own men, yesterday's communique said. The action, mostly in the Jungles of Guadal canal, occurred over a number of weeks. On December 4, when the raiders returned to their base after weeks of lying in moun tainous jungle hideouts waiting to launch surprise attacks on the enemy, an army patrol killed seven Japanese in fighting along the Matanikau . river,, which borders the western flank of the American position of Guadal canal. - Also on December 4, the com munique said, 15 enemy landing barges, and rafts, believed to have been used by ihe Japanese in local coast-line operations, were strafed by army planes near Tassafaronga, about 11 miles west of the American controlled airfield. WPA's Contribution To Northwest Takes In 18 Airports SEATTLE, Dec. 7 UP) The . WPA's contribution to Pacific Northwest preparedness includes 18 airports, nine each in Wash ington and Oregon, L. R.

That indicates we are mastering the difficult problem of supply. "THE British deliver another big air raid against towns in southern Germany, where sup plies are FED INTO ITALY. Re member that the big factor in beating Rommel at El Alamcin was disrupting his supplies and communications in the rear. . Italy has become a hot spot. Disrupting her line of supply from Germany is significant. "N the Buna-Gona beaches, our boys and the Australians have driven their FOURTH wedge through to the sea, thus pinning the Japs into ANOTHER pocket.

Jan "face" seems to call for another des Derate effort at rein forcement and supply. SECRETARY OF AGRICUL TURE WICKARD has been made food czar, and estimates today that up to 25 per cent of our 1943 food output will be re quired for lend-lease and the armed forces. That is less than most of us had expected, but clearly foreshadows belt-tightening. American farmers, in spite of labor shortage and other handi caps, will make a determined effort to meet the production re quirements placed upon them. They always have. AS DRAFT CHIEF (Continued from Page One) ference to discuss his plans for action under the new manpower directive, which was accompan ied by announcements of the army and navy that voluntary enlistment of men. between 17 and 37 years, inclusive, had been stopped. This applied also to the marines and merchant marine. Commissions The navy will continue to en list 17-year-olds, as it has been doing, but the army has not tak en men that young. Both branch' es will enlist specialists who have passed their 38th birthday, when needed. Apparently the order did not ban men from volunteering for officers' commissions, but the army recently announced it would not commission civilians except where there was need for them in some special work. Induction Rules The war department an nouncement said that induction "of men who are 38 years of age and over" was suspended, and explained that experience indi cates "that men 38 years of age and over are in general physical ly less able to withstand the rig ors of present-day combat activi ties." This indicated that the govern ing age would be that of the day of contemplated induction, rath er than the age of a registrant when he registered for selective service, and army officials said they understood that all refer ences to age were to current ages. Wickard Named To Guide U. S. Food Supplies (Continued from Page One) the allies and liberated coun tries. Wickard, who estimates that up to 25 per cent of the 1943 output will be required for lend lease and the armed forces, takes over the marketing and distribution supervision former ly exercised by the war produc tion board. Included in this is supervision of food rationing, although the transfer of authority is not ex pected to mean any changes in the present 'rationing programs of sugar and coffee and the prospective rationing of meat. These programs will continue to be administered through the of fice of price administration. RENO LICENSES RENO, Dec. 6 IP) Marriage licenses announced here Monday included: Edward L.

This stopped the advance and the milling, yelling celebrants reluctantly obeyed orders to re turn to their quarters. Spirited Away Fred Tayama, president of the Japanese American citizens league, was so severely beaten by a mob of axis sympathizers he required hospitalization. Later they stormed the hospital but doctors had spirited Tayama to safety. The axis group, an gered by- his disappearance, threatened to kill him. Tay Uyeno, another pro-Amer ican Japanese, was removed from the relocation center to the Inyo county jail at Independence to save him from harm at the hands of the mob. Orations Given Mcrritt said that about 4000 Japanese in the center were born in Japan and 500 others of the total of 10,000, although born m the United States, were edu cated in Japan and indoctrinat ed with Japanese militarism. Describing the pro-axis meet ing, Merritt said a group of 1000 gathered Saturday night in a firebreak area and listened to orations. Pro-American Japanese who pleaded for order when the crowd became boisterous were jeered and asked to leave. The crowd soon had gotten out of hand and Merritt called for state guardsmen. Loyal Japs Work Yesterday, Merritt said, Kibel representatives called at his offi ces and demanded that Uyeno be returned to the camp. He said he negotiated with them and be lieved the. situation had been cleared up, but at nightfall a group gathered at block 22 and then marched on the hospital, seeking Tayama. Another mob of 1500 surrounded the police sta tion, holding members of the Jap anese volunteer force and a Cau casian police at bay. Still a third mob. of about 1000 attacked an other group of camp police and drove them into a building, where they barricaded .them selves. Merritt said Japanese loyal to America had tried to avert the outbreak. Leaders of the riot, he said, were those Japanese born in Hawaii or Japan. Tayama was a leader of the anti-axis movement in Los An geles before the Nipponese were evacuated. A few months before the Pearl Harbor attack he told his organization that if war came "every one of us, as good Ameri cans, will be willing to lay down our lives for this, our native land." Police Congratulated Merritt issued this statement: "This started out to be a cele bration of the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, sponsored by pro axis Japanese. Loyal Japanese Americans tried to stop it but failed. "The rioting brought a crisis that made necessary the calling out of military police and the placing of Manzanar under mar tial law as a protection for the people of Manzanar and Inyo county. "Whenever, In the opinion of military police, complete order has been restored and the FBI and other government agencies have completely cleaned up the agitators and leaders, the camp will be returned to its normal administration. "I want to congratulate the Japanese on the center's police force which tried to cope with me situation, the staff of Cau casian police for what they have done, and the loyal Japanese in the camp."

She was the first battleship equipped with both armor piercing shells and belt armor to resist armor-piercing ammunition. She saw some service in World war I, and since 1925 she has been tied up at Port land, serving as a museum. Her relics will be transferred to oth er quarters. As a final gesture, a hundred naval enlistees were sworn in during ceremonies on the decks of the old ship. These young men will be known as the "Ore gon Scrappers," said Lieut. Com mander Glenn E. Degrave, dis trict recruiting officer. SIX-DAY WEEK SET WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 iff) Bituminous coal mining will be stepped up to a six-day week about, the first of the year and prices will rise an average of 20 to 23 cents a ton. A producer spokesman said to day "the matter has been fully agreed on" with government agencies on the price and wage questions. - ; . The war labor board, It was learned, has decided that pay ment of a time and a half rate for the sixth day under the wage of agreement with the miners does not constitute a wage increase, even though the premium rate begins after the Joth hour. The mines now work a seven-hour day and a five-day week. The producer spokesman who declined direct quotation said the increased labor cost would amount to about 12 to IS cents a ton. The operators have asked for an additional 8 cents to cover increased costs of mate rials and other items. Discovery of Hand Grenade Calls Out Klamath Police City police were called Sat urday night to a local garage after an attendant reported he had noticed a hand grenade in a laundry truck parked in the garage. , Officers removed the grenade. Upon examination, they found it lacked caps, fuse and powder. They reported to E. L. Rich ards, 517 North 8th street, the truck operator, and learned he was keeping the genade as a souvenir. They returned the grenade to Richards, with the suggestion he put it some place where It would not arouse alarm.
