Avenge Attack on

Africa Convoy.

ORANGE, Cal, Dec. 4 (U. P.) — Seaman Emil Friedemann, 22, a former filling station attendant, today

told how he saw an enemy sub-|

marine “lurch out of the water” and sink while he was climbing down

the side of his own ship, the tor- i

pedoed army transport U. S. S. Hugh L. Scott. The incident occurred, he said, while the Scott hovered off the African coast near Casablanca on Nov. 12. Friedemann, now on furlough, said he had sailed wjth the American convoy from a southern port in the United States in October and crossed the Atlantic without inci-

dent. The Scott was the first trans-| |

port to arrive at the African rendezvous and came under torpedo attack on the night of Nov.

damaged.

The Scott picked up survivors and

the next day was hit itself amid-

ships. The captain gave orders to :

abandon ship. “While I was climbing down the net,” Friedemann said, “one of. our destroyers got the sub. I saw it lurch out of the water, then settle back and sink.”

TRAFFIC DEATHS IN STATE DIP SHARPLY

Traffic deaths decreased 32 per cent during the first eight months of 1942 over the same period last year,, Governor Schricker’s coordinating safety committee reported today. The 35-mile-per-hour speed limit and fear of restrictions by county rationing boards were reasons for ‘the reduction, the committee said During the eight-month period, 835 traffic fatalities were reported, while 1229 were killed in the same period last year.

The “little guy” on the treasury department's Dec. 7 war bond poster who turned out to be a young lady is shown here at almost 2 years old. Linda Peter= son’s flirting smile and curly locks weren’t. there when another photo used for the poster was snapped at the age of 10 months. That was the reason for the “he’s a she” mixup, the treasury department told the child’s parents in New York. The government's apology was revealed yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (U, P.).— President Roosevelt today reiterated that government employees will have a one-day holiday at Christmas. That will be Christmas day itself.

She's a ‘Big Guy’ Now

The reason for the “red faces” when the 16,000 posters appeared in motion picture theater lobbies on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor is this: Linda's earlier picture appears over lines reading “give us little guys a chance” and “make sure he grows up a free man.” The parents soothed the treasury’s embarrassment with the revelation that “she” often was mistaken for & “he” when Linda was a baby.

Earl J. Johnson, vice president and |¢

general news manager of the United

Press, said today in releasing the|j

U. P's list of the “10 biggest” stories of 1942.

“Never: before has the successive # crash of events put such an hour-|¥

by-hour strain on reportorial fa-

cilities around the world” Johnson |# ©

said,

in so short a time which were of such vital and immediate concern to so many people.”

“and probably never haves there been so many developments|¥

He paid tribute to the U. P.’s

corps of war correspondents “who are doing their work under fire at the various fronts with painstaking devotion to accuracy and fairness.” Because of the uncommonly large number of big stories which broke in 1942, the U. P. made two lists of the “10 biggest,” one covering foreign news and the other domestic. Some were chosen for their dramatic impact and others for their importance. Most of the stories are inter-related and many of them center around situations which will continue into the new year.

“Rick” Rescue 10th

The lists follow: Foreign: 1. American invasion of North ‘Africa, the rout of Rommel, and scuttling of French fleet. 2. Japanese conquest of Philippines, Singapore, Java and Burma. 3. Red army’s counter-offensive beginning with its stand at Stalin-

grad. 4. Battles of Coral sea and Midway which repulsed Japanese fleet. 5. American offensive at Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. 6. Allied air attacks on German and Italian cities, which marked loss of air superiority by axis in Europe. 7. Doolittle’s raid on Tokyo. 8. Dieppe raid involving U. S. and Canadian troops. 9. Failure of Cripps mission and arrest of Gandhi. 10. Rescue of Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker,

Willkie Tour Eighth

Domestic: 1, Rationing, wage-freezing, and tax program. 2. Republican gains in off-year elections. | 3.

Rise of American war production and President Roosevelt's secret tour of war plants. 6. Drafting of 18-19-year-olds for armed service and registration of men from 45 to 64. 7. Mobilization of women in the WAACs, WAVES, SPARS. 8. Willkie’s united nations tour. 9. War bond and scrap metal campaigns. 10.

The youth of the nation must be 3

educated in the democratic way of

life as contrasted with the totali-|# tarian form of government, R. Car-|§ ter Tucker, president of Optimist | International and an attorney of |g

Kansas City, Mo., told the Indian-

apolis Optimist club at its luncheon | 3

meeting today at the Columbia club. Mr. Tucker appealed to com-

munity leadership to take stock of |& local youth conditions and start an |3¥ active campaign to protect youths |3

of pre-draft age. “Overnight we can lose the peace if we are not prepared,” he said. “The only way we can win the peace is to inaugurate a co-ordinated and unified youth program.”

He invited other clubs to join with Optimist clubs of Canada and the United States in preparing for the peace after the war and said there must be no diminishing of the war effort. “Our people must be willing to give and give to the last breath, as our boys in the front lines are giving, if we want our children to live our democratic way of life,” he said.

“Pearl Harbor was a terrible in- $ cident because we were not pre-|g

pared,” Mr. Tucker declared. “All

of us are going to work through this |} war effort, for when the war is over | the rabble rouser will take to his];

soap box and bespeak youth to fol-

Jow him. Then, if we are not pre-|3 pared, if we have not shown our}

youth the value of the four free- |; doms of democracy, we shall lose

the peace.”
