STARK PRAISES SALINAS’ GREW

Naval Tanker Damaged One Of Three Nazi Subs in Attack Oct. 30.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (U. P).— The officers and crew of the naval tanker Salinas today received warm commendation for courage, effi-| ciency and seamanship in a Navy) report revealing that they had ghelled and damaged one of three German submarines during an attack Oct. 30. The congratuations were made by Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations, to the men who brought their ship to an undisclosed American port after being torpedoed and seriously damaged. Admiral Stark said their work was “inj keeping with the highest traditions] of the Navy

No Change in Policy

The Navy's report of the Salinas incident was the first official announcement that an Axis submarine had been damaged by an American | naval vessel. It previously has been | the policy of the Navy not to reveal] such attacks. ! But President Roosevelt told his | press conference the announcement | did not represent a change in the] Navy's policy of withholding news of sinking by American warships of] enemy ships or submarines. He said | it was difficult for the Navy to make | public this type of story without] creating a false impression. | He said that at the end of World | War I he figured out that if this] country had listed as sunk every | German submarine which had been | fired upon, using reports of what he described as thoroughly enthusiastic and honest people, Germany would have been credited with losing 725 submarines,

Attacked by Three Subs

Actually, he said, German figures after the war showed that American vessels, including armed merchant-| men, sank only 16 German subma- | rines. It is silly, he said, to say that & submarine has been sunk unless

Convict Mate of ‘Woman in Red’

ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 5 (U. P.) —Roy Skaggs. 31, Indianapolis, today began a 10-year term in the Indiana State Prison for participating in a filling station holdup here Sept. 9 with his wife, Dorothy, better known as the “woman in red” bandit. Madison Circuit Judge Charles E. Smith found Skaggs guilty and passed sentence yesterday. Dorothy Skaggs is already serving a 10-year sentence in the Indiana Women's Prison after having confessed to a series of holdups in six Indiana cities. Brought from prison to testify in her husband’s trial, she claimed she was alone when the robberies were committed. The couple was arrested at In- | dianapolis by State Detectives | Robert O'Neal and John Barton. |

tirely optional and also depends upon whether the boys feel they can afford it. The course is very serious work, but made intensely interesting by the opportunities offered the students who come to the capital in charge of Dr. Paul S. Jacobsen, assistant professor of political science. The boys spend the first semester from Sept. 25 to Jan. 235 here, and while in Washington they get credit for the work done here.

A Typical Day From 8:30 to 10:30 a. m., the boys meet Dr. Jacobsen in an informal class in which topics connected with their studies are discussed. He then assigns two students each to go to the offices of the Securities & Exchange Commission, Food and Drug Administration, Civil Service Commission, Interstate Commerce Commission and the Customs Bureau of the Treasury Department. The students are given every opportunity to see how the bureaus are organized, what their work is, how they arrange their budget and direct their personnel. At the end of the semester each student is supposed to write elaborate reports on what he learned.

Use of Tunisia as a base by the Germans, if Vichy consent has been given as reported, would be the opening wedge for later German activity in Africa which would be of direct interest to the United States. Germany's designs in Africa have been expertly camouflaged and it is impossible to leatn either from Vichy or Berlin what transpired at the meeting between Marshals Petain and Goering. A United Press dispatch on the subject from Vichy was so heavily censored that it presumably contained information that the French do not want publicized. However, advices from elsewhere in Europe indicate strongly that the French have

U. S. ATTORNEY ASKS

NEW YORK, Dec. § (U. P).— Mathias F. Correa, United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, last night urged labor unions to establish safeguards against dishonest elections and mise use of union funds, and thus purge their own “pirates.” Mp. Correa recently sent George E. Browne and William Bioff, former president and West Coast representative respectively, of the In~ ternational Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (A. F. of L), to prison for using their positions to extort $550,000 from motion picture |companies.

agreed to German use of Tunisia, although perhaps not of Algeria and most probably not of West Africa, which contains Dakar. The Germans can afford to move cautiously in that direction, because they are not yet ready for early military operations there and it would be impolitic to needle Washington into taking some drastic step. Tunisia, however, is of immediate practical value to Germany. If the Axis is forced out of Libya, it would provide an excellent base for retaining a foothold in Africa. Only 100« miles of water separate it from Sicily in the narrowest part of the Mediterranean. Half way across the strait lies the Italian island base of Pantelleria. Men and supplies for the fighting forces in Libya could be moved more easily than the present more exposed sea route to Tripoli. Even though Petain may have conceded Tunisia, the best information available from Europe is that he refused to permit use of the French fleet against Britain. To throw into action the battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers and submarines which Frances retains under the armistice would alter the entire Mediterranean picture. France, however, is solemnly pledged not to do this. Petain is represented as insisting that the fleet will be used only to protect the French empire and shipping. France wants the fieet also as insurance against Italy's “Nice, Tunisia, Corsica” demands, to which she is determined not to submit. Having set the precedent of gaining a foothold in at least one French African colony, it is not unreasonable to suppose that Hitler would exert further pressur: to extend his operations later on.
