DOWN FIGHTING

Downed Before Fatal Blow Is Delivered.

By WILLIAM F. TYREE -. United Press Staff Correspondent

WITH THE UNITED STATES FLEET IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC, Jan. 30 (Delayed).—Theheavy cruiser Chicago, battlescarred veteran of South Pacific fighting, sank in the tepid waters south of Guadalcanal last night after a furious Japanese : ‘rial assault with bombs and torpedoes. The Chicago and her fighter

plane escort staged a gallant battle in the final attack at 4 p. m. yesterday, shooting down 12 out of 13

enemy torpedo planes that made|

runs against her battered hull,

but six were able to launch their torpedoes and one or more hit the Chicago.

ways came back. This time her luck ran out.

Damaged in August Battle

It was the Chicago's first battle cruise since returning to the fleet after a trip to the navy yard to have her torpedo-ripped hull patched. She had been struck by a torpedo on Aug. 9 in the first battle of Savo island, in which the American cruisers Quincy, Astoria, Vincennes, and the Australian cruiser Canberra were sunk.

Earlier she had been virtually a one-ship fleet, patroling between northern Australia and New Guinea. Almost daily she came within range of Japanese bombers and was attacked many times. The Chicago

i |in the Solomons when the Japanese

swooped out of the murk, cleverly using the quick-cbming darkness of the tropics, and dumped a load of bombs near her fantail stern on Jan. 28.

Tug Pulled Her South

Seamen manned their battle stations at the shrill whistle to general quarters and fought the Japanese planes as they passed over. But one or two of the enemy bomb-

The debris left by the bombs was je oe from her decks and thrown overboard. A tug, hoping to save the stricken warship, took her in ttow and pulled southward: at ‘slow (speed. But the Japandse seemed deter-

| mined that the Chicago would not

survive. Late yesterday afternoon a torpedo plane squadron found her. They slammed their tin fish against her blistered sides as the Chicago wallowed almost helplessly in the swells.

‘Sinking’ Flag Hoisted

The sea churned through the gaping holes in her hull and the Chicago settled. “I'm sinking,” she signtied the circling destroyers. : The destroyers closed in to take off survivors. Most of the crew had survived the bomb and torpedo | | poundings. About 95 per cent of them were saved. Later, with her comrades standing

JOHN L. LEWIS YIELDS 4 DAYS

That’s His Answer to Ickes Request to Open Coal Talks Early.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—John L. Lewis, whose wage demands for the United Mine Workers threaten to wreck the wage controls of the national war labor board, made a slight concession yesterday to governmental requests that he agree to move up his biennial wage conferences with bituminous coal operators. In letters to the operalpis he offered to meet them in New: York

on March 10—four days earlier than the date set by contract. Harold L. Ickes, as solid fuels eoordinator for war, had requested that the meeting be set forward three weeks, to Feb. 22. Both the northern and southern groups of coal operators sent their assents to

ers ducked through the anti-air-{Mr. Ickes.

Mr. Lewis’ concession of four days was regarded in industry as far short of providing time enough to make sure that a wage agreement can be reached this year without fears of a destructive mine shutdown that would interrupt the flow of munitions. ;

Production Near Peak

Meanwhile the National Coal association said production in the week ended Feb. 13 was estimated at 12,280,000 tons, the highest since a week in February, 1929, when the output was 12,000 tons greater. A production of more than 12,000,000 tons in a week is ‘something monumental in this industry, and was credited largely to inauguration of the six-day week in many mines, both North and South. The National Coal Association estimated the national stockpile of bituminous coal as 86,000,000 tons on Jan. 1, compared with 63,000,000 tons at the beginning of 1942. “For the long pull,” the association said, “the war agencies and mine operators are in accord that stockpiles should continue to be maintained at high levels, increased if possible. We know that when we enter the winter of 1943-44 war production will be a higher level, manpower shortages will be greater, transportation facilities of every kind will be taxed to the limit, and

it will be more important than ever

that the stockpiles of coal be at the maximum.” Government information shows that distribution of the present big stockpile is “spotty,” and that If coal production is interrupted for "any cause war industries would begin to close within a week.

THAILAND TO BE FREE ACCORDING TO TOJO

By UNITED PRESS Thailand and Indo-China, whether they believed it or not, today had from Prime Minister Hideki Tojo that Japan has no furtheir territorial ambitions and wishes “each people to have a piace under the sun.” Tojo, as quoted by Radi Tokyo, told the house of peers thai he “especially appreciated” Thailand's attitude and added: “Thailand has sided with us in the fight against the Anglo-Americans. “We respect not only Thailand's independence but wish Thailand yet greater welfare and want to co-op-erate with her even more closely in a cultural, economic, political and military sphere.” Tojo also praised the “straightforward co-operation between Japan

land Indo-China despite difficulties

of the international situation.” He said Japan would always respect

Indo-China.
