Germans also regained a few
small stretches of territory from
the British eighth army in the

some of the German counter-
thrusts.

with hits forward, amidships and

The Mitchells also hit and
sank a destroyer, and other

with five burning Tuilks two
merchant ships, one of 1500 tons
a motor torpedo boat, a Siebel
ferry (Siebel ferry-is-the German
equivalent of a ' tank landing
craft), and a large launch.
Escorted by Spitfires, the Kit
tyhawks also swept, along the
coast and spread further destruc
tion among a concentration of
ships of all varieties which the
axis had pressed into service in
a desperate effort to get supplies
to its Tunisian force.
- tin addition, the British ad
miralty announced the sinking
of 1 10 more axis ships in the
Mediterranean by submarines.)

The aerial attack, which took
place over an area extending
from Ras el Milah. on the east
coast of Cap Bon peninsula to
Ras el Fortness on the Gulf of
Tunis, encountered an air um
brella of axis fighters, but the
allied airmen drove through it
and shot down' eight of the
enemy planes and damaged 12
more. Five of the Kittyhawks
were lost.
Six Messerschmitts also went
at the Mitchells after the attacks
on- the destroyers and cruiser,
and another German plane was

and exact location of this new

assist the enemy in operations.
But there was general conjec
ture that Japan, intent on reduc
ing the flow of war supplies into
MacArthur's theater of war, had
enlarged its hit-and-miss subma
rine tactics of the past to the
cope of a coordinated campaign
by a fleet of tinderseas craft.

PORTLAND, May 1 (P) Ore
gon was $16,371,057 over its
quota in the second war loan
campaign today and. although
the campaign has closed, the to
tal was expected to grow.
Reports were not in from all
counties, but bond sales officials
said quotas for the public and
banking institutions had been
exceeded. Public purchases
reached $54,103,957, pushing the
state total to $126,371,957: The
state's quota was $110,000,000.
Officials said only nine coun

The Donets action was south
of Izyum in the sector 70 miles

communique said the greater
part of the Germans who crossed

Russian Stormovik planes
were credited with destroying
dozens of enemy guns while as

raids were made on railroad sta
tions and other communications,

The . incessant pounding of

was interpreted as meaning just
one thing that the Russians

and every king of war material
for an offensive. '

to 3400 bituminous mine com
panies, telling them to:
1. Serve as operating mana
ger for the United States."
2. Do all things necessary to
assure operation of mines."
3. Use managerial set-up so
far as practicable and take all
steps within your power to en
courage , miners to , return to
work, under present wages and
working conditions, with under
standing that any eventual wage
adjustment will be retroactive.
Military Promised
4. "If any act transpires re
quiring maintenance of order by
use of military forces, communi
cate with regional bituminous
coal manager who is manager of
field office of the bituminous
coal division for area in which
mine is located for transmission
of request to proper officials."
similar telegrams are to so
later to managers of anthracite
coal mines also but preparations
are not as far advanced as re
gards them, Ickes' office said.
The president repeated that
the coal strikes were "a direct
interference with the Drosecu-
tion of the war and challenged
the governmental machinery set
up lor tne orderly and peaceful
settlement of labor disputes and
the power of the government to
carry on the war."
Cripple War
He also reiterated . that con-
tinuahce and spread of the
strikes would have the same ef
fect as a crippling defeat in the
war, and promised that when
ever the miners submit their
case to the WLB "it will be de
termined promptly, fairly and
in accordance with the proced
ure and law applicable to all
labor disputes."
After declaring he had or
dered government seizure and
operation of the mines, the
president said:
Calls Miners
"I now call upon all miners
who may have abandoned their
work to return immediately to
the mines and work for their
government. Their country
needs their services as much
as those of the members of the
armed forces. I am confident
that they do not wish to retard
the war effort; that they are as
patriotic as any other Ameri
cans; and that they will prompt
ly answer this call to perform
this essential war service.
"If any adjustment of wages
is made it will be made retro
active," he added.
The executive order for fed
eral seizure of the mines de
clared the strikes "will obstruct
the effective prosecution of the
war by curtailing vitally need
ed production in the coal mines
directly affecting the countless
war industries and transporta
tion systems" dependent upon
such mines.

at their supply lines in the Medi
terra nean that they had none left
to fight off the allied planes that
were attacking their air fields
around Bizerte and Tunis. As a
result, we dropped block-busters
and incendiaries 'on these fields
almost unopposed.
That indicates CLEAR air su
periority on our part.
.
THERE'S an interesting report
today by the Berlin radio to
the effect that an ENORMOUS
concentration ' of allied naval
strength including three British
battleships, three British carriers
and the necessary escorting
force, is m o v 1 n g EASTWARD
through the Gibraltar strait.
The implication is that we're
getting set to blast a German
Dunkerque from Tunisia.
OTALIN, in a May Day order to
the red troops, breaks out to
day with unaccustomed praise
for us and the British.
He speaks in the friendliest'
tone of "our allies." He has
words of high commendation for
what we are doing in Africa. Hi
mentions approvingly our sus
tained bombing of Germany.
Then he joins in the Casablanca
demand for unconditional sur
render by Hitler.
He's obviously in a better
mood toward us which indi
cates that some good diplomatic
work has been done somewhere.
One is almost justified in hoping
that our diplomats have quit
dealing in the customary diplo
matic parables and have been
talking straight turkey to this
realistic leader of the Russians.
That would be something.
A LTOGETHER, the European
end of the news today looks
quite encouraging.
The Pacific news, as usual, is
scanty and unrevealing. General
Stilwell, our commander in In
dia, and General Chennault,
commanding our pitifully Inade
quate air forces in China, have
for some reason come to Wash
ington. It isn't hard to guess what they
want.
PICKUP PICKUPS
SACRAMENTO, May 1 (IP)-
Two women who speak German I
and other foreign languages
were arrested last night by
Deputy Sheriff Charles Ogle,
who said the women made a
practice of picking up sailors at
Sacramento bars, taking them
to their home, and questioning
them regarding fleet move
ments. In 1941, there were 4200 ac
cidental deaths on the farms of
the United States.
