Japs Flee West of Attu
The navy department in Washington reported on the first major surface engagement in the North Pacific. Light American forces, the navy said, battled at long range last Friday with a Japanese force of four cruisers. and four destroyers escorting two cargo vessels toward the Aleutians and made it so hot the enemy retreated westward. The fight oceurred west of Jap-anese-held Attu, the westernmost of the Aleutians and 210 miles from Kiska, the main Japanese base which is being pounded regularly by U. S. air forces. The Japanese ships— first large contingent of enemy surface craft seen in those waters— appeared reluctant to slug it out, a navy spokesman said.
Japs Bomb Canton Isle
The Japanese, in a Radio Tokyo hroadcast heard by the United Press, made extravagant claims of success in both the Aleutians and Oro bay incidents. Tokyo: claimed Japanese planes damaged two cruisers and a destroyer. At Oro bay, the Japanese communique said, 19 allied planes were shot down and two transports, a destroyer and a patrol boat were sunk. The Japanese broadcast set the dates of both engagements as Saturday. U. 8. forces attacked Japanese positions at Nauru, 655 miles northeast of Guadalcanal Thursday night while the Japanese hit at Canton island, 1600 miles west ‘and south of Hawaii. Seven enemy planes bombed Guadalcanal Saturday, killing one and injuring 13 persons and causing slight damage. American planes on Saturday and Sunday attacked Buin, Kahili, Vila and Munda, in the Solomons, and Ugali, in the New Georgia group.

fended by anti-aircraft batteties and night fighter planes. Preliminary reports indicated that excellent results were achieved. Stung into retaliation, German bombers attacked a south coast town in daylight today and ‘scored a direct hit on a school clinic. Five persons, including three children, were killed. The Berlin correspondent of the Stockholm newspaper Allehanda today quoted German military authorities as saying that 18 British planes had been shot down off Norway in what appeared to be a big raid somewhere in Norway. The air ministry here said, however, that it had no information on such a raid. Last night's raid was the 46th of the war on St. Nazaire and the first since the port was battered by 1000 tons of bombs the night of March 22.
More Than 300 Planes Over Berlin
The attack rounded out one of the most intensive week-ends of bombing yet undertaken. Following|. the Berlin raid Saturday night, American flying fortresses ripped apart the important German railroad yards at Rouen in northern France and British mediunr and light bombers raided the Dutch port of Rotterdam and industrial targets at Liege, Belgium, in daylight yesterday. The new offensive began with a British raid on Duis-

night. Nearly 1000 tons of bombs were cascaded on Berlin Saturday night by upwards of 300 bombers attacking in waves of 100 and a pilot who was among the last to leave the target area said the “whole city seemed to be burning.” At least two large explosions, greater than any mere bomb bursts, were reported. .
Concentrated in Half Hour
The glow from the hundreds of fires was visible for more than 150 miles. German accounts of the raid reaching Stockholm acknowledged that bombs fell in all sections of the city, including the center. Immediately after the raid, the Berlin radio was heard ordering all citizens living in furnished apartments or houses to advise authorities of the maximum number of Persons they could billet. The air ministry, announced that 8 the greater portion of the bombs, including four-ton super blockbusters, was dropped in the single half-hour between 11 and 11:30 p. m. Despite the size of the raiding force and severe anti-aircraft fire, only nine planes were lost. ~The raid was the 59th of the war on Berlin and the first since March 1, when 700 buildings were @&estroyed, American pilots participating in yesterday’s raid on Rouen, key railroad junction on the Seine between Paris and Le Havre, said great fires and explosions wrought widespread destruction In the railway yards. The Vichy radio admitted today that the raid was the worst Rouen had experienced. It said damage to buildings was “tremendous” - and that casualties were more than 100 dead and 200 injured.

The only thing the housewives left on the counters were a few pigs’ feet and maybe a small amount of hamburger. One large market did have an unusual number of calls but no meat. Several butchers were worried the women wouldn't buy when they did get supplies this afternoon or tomorrow and would leave them with spoiled supplies. A few were seriously contemplating closing their doors. .

A few meat market managers have been caught in a “jam.” They tried to buy from others but had no luck as the regular buyers were being taken care of first.

Oasis Became Armed Camp
The town of Gabes, with a normal population of 2000 civilians, was converted by Rommel into one of his chief bases on the eastern coast of Tunisia. It is surrounded by an oasis which, in récent weeks has been converted into an armed camp. The main barracks and camps are located in the southern section of the town, but lately they have been taking a severe mauling from allied pilots, and it is uncertain: whether enough installations remain there to permit Rommel to attempt a stand. (It was officially reported in Cairo that the main airport at Gabes had been plowed up by the axis, indicating that Rommel intends to continue his retreat and offer little more than delaying action against the eighth army).

Other Developments
There were four other important developments on the food front: 1. Butter, cooking fats and oil and cheese, “frozen” in grocerystores since March 22, and canned meats and canned fish, “frozen” since Feb. 18, were released for sale again under point rationing on ration book 2. 2. Rationing restrictions were lifted temporarily on all dried and dehydrated fruits and vegetables. 3. Point values were cut drastically for all fruit and vegetable juices
and dehydrated soups and were in-
creased for more than half a dozen other canned items, including applesauce, pineapple and gantied fresh lima beans.
4. Supplies of raioned 180ds to restaurants were cut between 25 and 50 per cent to put restaurant eaters on the same basis as other civilian consumers. Office of price administration officials predicted the new meat and fats rationing program will allow the average consumer about two pounds of meat, % pound of butter and cooking fats and two ounces of cheese weekly.

mending enough persons to fill city jobs and that appointments were being handled by a special patronage committee, headed by. Harry Ray. In the interview, the mayor pointed out that Mr. Ray was on the
payroll of the city sewer supervision department, since there was no
budgetary provision for a persopnel director, and that he was being assisted by Charles W. Jewett, Lee
Emmelman, Samuel Walker and others. : “The fact is,” Mr, Ostrom charged, “that the Marion county Republican committee has not been asked to recommend any persons in the city administration. Don’t forget that last Jan, 23 Mayor Tyndall advised us that all city patronage would, from that time on, be handled through his own office and not through the party.
