“TOP JAP°NAVY

CHIEF BEATEN

, Yamamoto Led Fleet Coral Sea; Cr . Fight Admitted.

BY UNITED PRESS The Japanese fleet, which 'was defeated in the battle of the Coral sed, was commanded by - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander in

/ chief of the Japanese combined fleet, Tokyo revealed today in a tacit confession of its importance. The disclosure, which ‘magnified the victory of United States and allied forces, was made by the Tokyo navy ministry in a communique, broadcast by the Japanese radio, which said: “Premier Hideki Tojo has cabled 8 message "of felicitations to Admiral . Isoroku Yamamoto, commander in chief of the .combined fleet and unit commander of the Japanese navy, who participated in the Coral sea battle, on the brilliant achievements attained by the Japanese navy against the combined Anglo-American fleet.”

Australians Aid U. S.

:The “combined Anglo-American fleet,” apparently, was a United States: navy task force aided by: Australian light units and allied land-based planes from Australia| No British ships, it was believed, took part. Yamamoto, Japan's top admiral, was naval attache in Washington in 1925. Significantly, before he was made commander of the combined fleet, <he was commander of the first naval air corps and then, after a period of Quty as vice navy minister, chief of the aviation department. He became combined fleet commander, with the rank of full admiral, in 1940. _ Japan stuck to its story that it won a great victory in the Coral sea and had “destroyed the main strength of the Anglo-American fleet,” as the official Domei news agency put it. The Japanese claims have. been thoroughly discredited by the united nations.

Mikado Sends Message

The Japanese Mikado sent a special message to Yamamoto on the aid the Japanese air force gave in the Coral sea battle. “We deeply apreciate,” he said, “that air - units ‘of the combined fleet, fighting bravely and gallantly in the Coral sea, crushed heavily the American and British fleet.” In what seemed to be a final statement of claims on the battle, Japan said today that eight United States and British warships had «been sunk or damaged beyond repair and 98 allied planes destroyed. It admitted, as it had previously, only the loss of a small aircraft carrier and 31 planes,

FOR GAS CARDS

Rationed Sales Begin Friday; Intra-Coastal Waterway Studied.

. WASHINGTON, May 12, (U. P.). —Approximately 8,500,000. motorists in 17 Eastern states begin registering today for the gasoline rationing program which starts Friday. Registration, which will determine how much gasoline ‘a week a- motorist will be permitted to buy, continues tomorrow and Thursday. Beginning Friday a ration card as well as money will be necessary on the Eastern seaboard to buy gasoline for passenger cars. Meanwhile, transportation officials ‘are studying all possibilities for increasing the amount of oil moved into the shortage area. The office of defense transportation is considering the use of the Atlantic intra-coastal waterway. Today a senate commerce subcommittee begins an investigation of all inland waterways for the transportation of oil and other commodities. An ODT official said the chief difficulty in obtaining gasoline over the Atlantic coastal waterway was to find ollgarrying barges. Some transportation experts have suggested that wooden barges could be built. The waterway, the ODT spokesman said, would be safe from the threat of axis submarines. The waterway runs from Florida to the Chesapeake bay and is protected from the sea practically all the way. OPD officials have promised that “essential” needs of Eastern states’ drivers who register during the next three days will be taken care of,

HORROR RULES POLISH GHETTO

400,000 Live in Misery; ‘Even Sacredness of Death Is Lost.’

By DAVID M. NICHOL Copyright. 1942, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Dally News. Inc. WASHINGTON, May 12.—Behind the 10-foot walls of Warsaw's ghetto are 400,000 persons, living in conditions of poverty and misery that make ~description almost impossible. Authentic accounts of the oceurrences behind those formidable barriers, with their 10 gates that close at 9 o'clock each night are few, but the publication, “Poland Fights,” undertakes this week to tell something of these facts in the basis of an account by persons who, it says,

were able to visit the ghetto several

times last winter. According to the account, there is the sharpest dividing line between the rich and the poor. A few still have sufficient means to buy the modest necessities, but the Yost live and die in horror.

Death No Longer Sacred

“Even the sacredness of death is lost in the ghetto,” the account says. “A funeral must be paid for, and few families possess the means. Misery overcomes piety, and the dead are simply put into the streets at night. Later Jewish police carry away the corpses to be buried free of cost by the Jewish community.” Another account in the same publication says that 7000 Jews died in Warsaw last September compared with 306 for the same month in 1938. Most of them, it indicated, were victims of the dreaded typhus. Among the Polish population there were 2160 deaths last September compared with about 800 three years earlier.
