Indianapolis couldn’t produce the snow for Santa’s sleigh, but it did pave a stretch of W. Washington St. with silver.. All this snowy metal was contributed to the Mile-of-Dimes for Clothe-A-Child in soap suds. The Mile-of-Dimes brought in $4979.90, more than $1000 front of the L. S. Ayres and S. S. Kresge Co. stores.

St. Louis Vehicle Overturns, Burns After Hitting Auto, 18 Hurt.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 25 (U. P.).—Nine
| persons were burned to death and
18 others injured, four critically, today when a St. Louis Public Service Co. bus crashed into a brick house and caught fire. The crash cccurred after the bus collided with an automobile which was making a left turn in its path. It smashed through the wall, its gasoline tank exploded and flames spread through the vehicle. The auto was pinned between the bus and a tree, cutting off immediate escape, although five of the injured were rescued by a passerby who broke a window, and the remainder managed to escape by breaking out. The dead included three women and six men, seven of them identifled. They were: Robert Ware, 18, Siloam Springs,
10.00 Ark. a sailor stationed at Chicago.
Mrs. Theresa Wright, Kansas City, Mo. Delores Reifschneider, 15; Alfred C. Crane, 41; Joseph Vuchik; Mrs. Frances Gloss, 72, and the bus driver, Walter Wroughton, 55, all of St. Louis.
JAP TROOPS LAND ON BORNEO COAST
SINGAPORE, Dec. 25 (U, P)— Japanese troops are landing at Kuching, Sarawak, on the north coast of Borneo, despite British aerial attacks on Japanese shipping, Singapore General Headquarters said today. A communique said there had been no direct communication with Kuching since late Tuesday. Indirect reports on the Kuching situation, however, were received yesterday and they indicated that Japanese landings were taking place. British planes attacked Japanese shipping off Kuching yesterday and “scored one direct hit on the stern of a merchant vessel and at least
{SIX near misses on other vessels,”
said. . (In New York the United

JAP SUBS SEEN OFF WEST COAST
Two More Ships Sunk as Spectators Watch at San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25 (U.P). | —The Navy re-doubled its coast pa-| trol today in anticipation of renewed | attacks on merchant shipping by] Japanese submarines in the Pacific. The submarines already have at-
|
| tacked nine vessels, sinking three
with torpedoes and gunfire. Only eight men were killed, but 11 others] from a lumber schooner sunk 700 miles west of San Francisco are un-| accounted for. Two more ships were sunk yesterday by submarines that came so! close to shore they were visible to The 5996-ton freighter
aged. A small lumber schooner was! fired upon. | The Absaroka lost one man, killed | when a deck-load of lumber shifted!
(after a torpedo left a gaping hole {in the side. Salvage operations were |
under way. The lumber schooner) reached port undamaged. The attacks, since they first began | in force a week ago, have shifted progressively to the south.
Planes Seek Raider
One submarine that singled out the Absaroka, seemed vo some witnesses to have been disguised as a fishing smack. It carried a false superstructure. One witness, suspicious of the ease with which the tiny craft moved through the heavy seas informed the Coast Guard and then! followed its progress down the! coast. | The raider cruised for almost 15 minutes in heavily-traveled shipping lanes before firing on the Ab-| saroka. Watchers on shore heard no explosion, but they saw the crew of 35 take to lifeboats. Rescue vessels picked them up quickly. Within minutes it seemed that the air was fllled with Army and Navy planes seeking trace of the raider, One depth charge was| dropped. : Witnesses also claimed to have seen the periscopes of other under-/ sea craft. Best guesses seemed to indicate] that the raiders may number three or four.

FOOD-DRUG DIVISION
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (U. P)). —The Food and Drug Administra-
tion has assumed full control of regulating the purity and standards of potency of insulin, an essential drug in the treatment of aiabetes. Director W. G. Campbell said to-
day the action was taken under an amendment to the Pure Food and
‘TO CONTROL INSULIN |prug Law enacted by Congress
“with record-breaking speed.”. The authority, he said, was absolutely essential because patents on insulin, held by the University of To-
ronto, expired today, Without the Federal regulation, there would] have been no way of regulating potency standards, he said. :
