planes were parked, hits were
seen all over the dispersal area
and several explosions were ob
served in fuel dumps.
(The dispatch did not bring
out where the Americans destroy
ed the 44th grounded plane, but
presumably it was one of those
at Vlllacidro, 23 miles northwest
of Cagllari).
Junkers Seen
A lone Beauflghter patrolling
the eastern Sardinian coast en
countered five torpedo-carrying
Junkers 88s. It destroyed one,
probably destroyed a second and
damaged a third.
The twenty-eight others shot
down in combat were bagged by
American bombers and their
fighter escorts in raids during
which tons of bombs were drop
ped on Italy's Island outposts.
The biggest fight of the day
occurred between the Sicilian
coast and the Egadl Islands when
SO enemy fighters attacked Fort
resses which had just bombed
Milo field.
Running Battle
The Fortress gunners shot
down 10 and P-38 Lightnings
which were escorting damaged
three more in a spectacular run
ning battle which continued 20
minutes, with the opposing forces
flying at heights ranging from
sea level to 24,000 feet
(Fourteen allied aircraft were
declared by the German high
command to have been destroy
ed in the coastal regions of Sar

LEWIS' RETURN
TO AFL STUNS
LABOR
(Continued From Page One) '
councils, perhaps starting with
the 1044 presidential' campaigns.
Hutcheson Ally ,
William Hutcheson, president
of the AFL Brotherhood of Car
penters, is regarded as Lewis
chief Blly and sponsor of his
return to the federation. Like
Lewis, Hutcheson is a republi
can. ' "
In an Interview last night.
the president of the carpenters
said Lewis' application was "evi
dence of his sincerity for a uni
fied labor movement."
Too Much Blame
Hutcheson - said that in the
current soft coal wage dispute.
too much blame Is being placed
on Lewis. He is representing
the men who dig the coal, and
from what I can learn he is
only carrying out their desires."
Lewis latest move, nowever,
was not believed to bear any
immediate relationship to the
current soft coal wage dispute.
Lewis Punch
It was Hutcheson whom Lewis
punched at an AFL convention
eight years ago. But that wound
has long since healed.
The Carpenters' chief said he
thought Lewis' application
would encounter no difficulty
In the AFL executive council.
"Why should It? President
Greene and the rest of us have
been urging peace all along and
asking him to come back home. '
What effect the miners' reaf
filiation with the AFD would
have upon' 'the CIO is specula
tive. The respective member
ship claims make the CIO num
erically inferior now. The min
ers, who have been independ
ent since last October, would
add 300,000 to 600.000 to the 6,
223,000 members who now pay
per capita tax to the AFL.
CIO Membership
The aggregate membership of
the CIO unions is believed to
be less than 5,000,000. It has
never made public Its treasury
figures.
In any future unity negotia
tions, the AFL would thus hold
a more commanding position
than ever. Lewis might be, in a
position, then, to dictate peace
terms to the CIO. The AFL':
alternative to peace might be
an- AFL organizing - drive that
would prove, more costly than
the CIO could afford and even
peace might mean the abolition
of some CIO unions.

The 1000-mile round-trip raid
on the two northwestern Ger
man objectives by the unescort
ed American bombers carried the
smashing allied aerial offensive
on Europe into its eighth day.
Intruding German planes
struck last night at southeast
England, Essex and the London
area, causing two brief alerts in
the capital, but It was authori
tatively, reported that bombs
dropped at widely separated
points caused little damage. A
small number of persons were
injured,
Gunfire was virtually continu
ous in one London area shortly
after midnight as the enemy
poked at the city for the fourth
consecutive night. Bombs were
dropped at two places near the
Thames estuary.
The jury brought In a verdict
after only 13 minutes of deliber
ation, in favor of the defendant,
Lamm Lumber company, at 9
p. m., Wednesday night in the
$33,000 damage suit of Fred J.
Gehring versus Lamm Lumber
company, which has been in
progress in circuit court the past
three days.
Gehring asked $35,000 dam
ages for injuries to the head and
nervous system allegedly re
ceived on January 9, 1941, when
the plaintiff, after having

inspect' operations of a hog at
Lamm's lumber mill at Modoc
Point, was struck on the head by
i piece of wood from the hog.
. Attorneys for the plaintiff
were William P. Lord and Ben
Anderson of Portland. Defense
lawyers were Richard B. Max
well of Klamath Falls, and Earl
Nelson of Portland.
