made on the Pacific Northwest.
Only two of the attacks had been disclosed previously. The third occurred early Sept. 29, 1942, when a lone plane, presumably catapulted from a Japanese submarine, flew over the lonely Grassy Knob forest service lookout station 10 miles east of here. The plane dropped a bomb into the dry bed of a creek about 2% miles below the lookout. The army previously announced that an unidentified seaplane dropped ‘an incendiary” bomb with Japanese - markings on forest land near Mt. Emily, less than 75 miles from here and also in Curry county, the night of Sept. 9, 1942. The first attack occurred June 22 when a submarine shelled Ft. Stevens, near Seaside, Ore., with negligible damage. wrence Geibner, lookout at Grassy Knob, said that shortly after 5 a. m. Sept. 29 he heard what ap+ parently was a small single-motored plane. He was unable to distinguish it in the pre-dawn darkness. Heard Explosion At 5:22 a. m. the plane seemed to Swing over the trees and a moment er Geibner saw the flash of a failing bomb and heard the report of its: explosion in the dry creek. The plane circled inland after dropping its load. Ray Zumwalt, operator of a dairy ranch five miles north of here, heard the plane pass over, flying due east and then roar out to sea a few minutes later. The official Washington announcement of the third attack followed recent closed hearings of a Seriate subcommittee considering forest service appropriations. If carried a warning that the western defense command fears future raids by enemy planes over the timbered mountains of Oregon and Wishington.

ernment leaders that the measure would not help the coal situation. 2. Ickes criticized both the union and. the operators while the latter two blamed each other for the strike. 3. A few miners went back to work and others said they were willing to take up their picks and shovels again.
Supply at Low Ebb
Steel operators, with coal supplies already at record lows because of a previous work stoppage in the bituminous industry, said continuation of the present strike will cause a sharp drop in steel production within a week. Coal stockpiles at steel plants ranged up to enough for four weeks’ operations, but many were less. Officials of the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. said they had less than a 10day supply at Clairton, Pa., which feeds six Carnegie-Illinois plants and two mills of other U. S. Steel Corp. subsidiaries. At the time of the first coal strike May 1, Irving S. Olds, chairman of the U. S. Steel Corp., predicted a general shutdown of steel mills within two weeks rafter the work stoppage started. The warnings by steel officials followed predictions by government authorities of a nation-wide dimout and a ban on all unessential rail travel .unless the strike is settled immediately.
$1.50 Refused
The proposal rejected by the operators called for payment of $1.50 a day to each miner in portal-to-portal pay. The operators said in a telegram to the war labor board that the U. M. W. had violated a board order by permitting a work stoppage and by making its portal-to-portal pay demand “a mere guise for a general wage increase of $2 a day as originally demanded by the mine workers and denied by the board.” The settlement formula which Ickes suggested embodied temporary agreement on portal-to-portal pay while a commission, giving equal representation to miners and operators, investigated to determine the time spent by the average miner in underground travel. The commission’s findings would be used in writing a final contract provision for portal-to-portal pay. The UMW, in accepting the for= mula, proposed that portal-to-por-tal pay be fixed at $1.50 daily in a temporary agreement. Commenting on the operators’ statement that the UMW would not yield in its demand for $2 a day, Lewis cited the $1.50 offer and called the operators’ assertion “flagrant misrepresentation.” if
” Criticizes Both Sides
Charles O'Neill, spokesman for the northern operators, said Ickes’ formula would be acceptable to the operators only if it permitted them to settle their retroactive obligations immediately. Under te of
April and May, any wage concessions in the new contract were to be retroactive to April 1. Ickes criticized both the union and the operators. He charged that the miners had struck against the government and that “a few powerful operators” deliberately were resisting compromises. Ickes also ‘moved yesterday to minimize the effect of the mine stoppage on war industries and other essential users. He signed an order barring railroad delivery of coal to consumers who have more than a 10-day supply of

Consider Strike Bill
The work stoppage influenced many congressmen to decide to support the drastic Smith-Connally anti-strike bill. The house prepared to take up the bill despite protests by government officials that the measure would not help the coal. situation and might contribute to further industrial unrest. Ranking members of the house rules committee said they would
fight efforts to delay ‘the bill longer. The military affairs committee, however, called a last-minute meeting to discuss modifications which might. make the measure more acceptable to government, officials.
The bill provides that strike votes must be taken by secret ballot and that a 30-day ‘“‘cooling off” period must be observed. It is similar to legislation passed by the house last year but killed by the senate. There were a few veteran miners who considered their jobs more important than the contract issues at stake. Worker Not Stopped The sentiment of some miners was indicated last night when the late shift was to report at the, Palmer mine of the H. C. Frick Coke Co., about 14 miles from Uniontown, Pa. While a crowd of idle workers stood around the mine entrance, Charles Hartman, a veteran miner in his 40's, approached, dressed for work. The strikers inquired where he was going and Hartman replied: “This is my job and by God I'm going to work.” No one attempted to stop him and five other workers followed him into the pit, where they worked their regular seven-hour shift,
By UNITED PRESS An estimated 40,000 members of the United Mine Workers union in Kentucky and 7400 in Indiana lolled in idleness or worked in their victory gardens Wednesday while the government sought to end their two-day-old strike. In Indiana there was almost a complete shutdown. The 7000 members of the U. M. W.’s district 11 in the Terre Haute area and the 400 of district 8 in the Brazil sector: left their jobs at midnight Monday, affecting a total of 82 mines. Only a few independent surface mines operated.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June 3 (U. P.).—An estimated 3000 Progressive Mine Workers of America (A. F. of L.) joined 23,000 United Mine Workers today in a walkout affecting more than 200 Illinois coal mines.

meantime, continued to rain bombs on Pantellerig in relays, the communique said. Mitchell and Marauder medium bombers and Lightning fighterbombers from the northwest African air force concentrated yesterday on Sardinia, scoring hits on supply vessels, railways and dock installations.
Vessels Hit
Warhawk fighter - bombers attacked the seaplane base at Stagnane island, Sicily, destroying several enemy aircraft at anchor. The Rome correspondent of a German newspaper was quoted by the British radio as writing that the axis European fortress was on the verge of being attacked, “if not today, then tomorrow.”
Axis
come,” the correspondent said. “The European fortress is under siege and will be attacked . . . the enemy is at our doors and it is no longer any use to haggle and wonder whether we did all we should have done to ward off the allied victory in Tunisia.”
Garrisons Bolstered
(A N. B. C. broadcast from London said signs were multiplying that the allies “are losing no time before the invasion begins.” The N. B.C. correspondent believed the | allied invasion armies are likely to “tackle chunks of the enemy instead of letting him put all his military eggs in one or two baskets.”) The German reinforcements sent to southern Greece were reported in a Cairo dispatch to have taken up positions in Peloponnesus, particularly in the ‘Argos, Kalamali, Patrai and Korinthas areas, where only few Nazi troops have been stationed previously. The dispatch also said reliable information contradicted previous re-
to Italy, although it was acknowledged that this might happen if the danger to their homeland becomes even more acute.

did not appear in it, although he served as narrator for some parts. Officially. the fate of the plane was not known, but it was pointed out that today’s German communique said an allied transport had been shot down over the Atlantic by Nazi airplanes. If this was the missing Douglas transport (probably one of the pre-war Dutch planes now on the Lisbon-London route) it would be the first such incident of the war on that route. Howard, whose real name was Leslie Stainer, is 50. He went to Lisbon April 27th and his lectures were described as very successful. While in Portugal he was awarded a gold medal for the best film shown in Portugal in 1942. He is married and has a son and a daughter. His home is near Dorking in Surrey. If the missing plane was shot down by the Germans, it was not believed the passeigers had much chance of surviving. The plane would normally sink within a few minutes or even a few seconds.

Coast Guard Cutter Sinks U-Boat in Running Fight

merged in the path of a large convoy headed for an allied port several weeks ago, fried desperately to escape. But the Spencer's depth bombs finally forced her to the surface and her guns finished the job. ! ” ” ” THE SPENCER, a heavily armed, 327-foot craft under the command of Cmdr. Harold S. Berdine, Staten Island, N. Y., was part of an escort assigned to the convoy. She also was serving as the flagship of the escort unit commander, Capt. Paul R. Heineman of Germantown, Philadelphia. The Spencer was exploring ahead in clear weather when Soundman Harold V. Anderson of Kewanee, Ill., detected the U-boat. The enemy craft, completely submerged with periscope down, apparently was attempting to slip in behind the escort screen. The cutter swept forward and dropped’ depth charges over the spot where the submarine lay. Then she wheeled around directly in front of the leading ships of the oncoming convoy and dropped a second “basket of eggs.”
Fire on Submarine
THE U-BOAT then tried to shake off the Spencer by running under the convoy, where the noise of the cargo ships’ propellers would interfere with sound detection devices. But the cutter held ‘to the trail like a cat after a mouse through the long column of ships. Then, as the convoy steamed safely past, she delivered a third depth charge attack. No torpedoes had been fired and the great convoy was on its way. Joined by another cutter, the Duane, commanded by Capt. Harold G. Bradbury of Newtonville, Mass., the Spencer was about to let go a fourth series of “ash cans” when a lookout shouted;

“Conning tower on the port quarter!” The gun crews on both American ships immediately opened fire on the surfaced submarine. At the same time, the Spencer rang up full speed and headed for the Uboat, prepared to ram,

THE SUB’S CREW managed to man a light gun on her bridge and began raking the Spencer, riddling her life boats and dam-
of her superstructure. U-boat crewmen who made for thé heavy deck gun, however, were driven back by the accurate American fire. Round after round was pumped into the German craft until the after part of the conning tower was torn completely away. Just as the Spencer was about to ram the U-boat, the Germans ceased firing and began to leap into the water. The cutter turned aside and waited. But the battle was over. The U-boats propellers stopped, she dropped low in the water, tiym sank stern first. Circling, the Spencer picked up more than 40 Germans.
» 2 ” ‘Terrible—Terrible!” THE NAVY said the Germans, as they awaited rescue, “acted in a very hysterical manner, shouting and waving arms so frantically that no doubt was left as to their existence and location.” “No doubt the depth charges and heavy gunfire had unnerved them,” the navy added, All of the prisoners appeared to ‘he impressed by the deadliness of the depth charges.

At Elkhart, two war production plants were forced to halt production temporarily when the wind tore down power lines, and the Sugar Grove church, southeast of the town, was damaged beyond repair. Reports of damages to communication lines, homes, trees and buildings were extensive. Livestock was reported killed or injured. While the wind swept around the Kingsbury ordnance plant near La Porte, the federal housing project there suffered the loss of several roofs. J
