WASHINGTON, June 12.-An
American coast patrol has had one
battle with German U-boat
raider. An unquestionable source
reports this and the fact that the
navy has had reports from patrol
commanders which have not yet
been made public.
The United Press is in position
TO announce that one of the many
reports indicate beyond a doubt
that a patrol vessel fired on a sub
marine and dropped depth bombs
about her, although Secretary
Daniels has taken the position that
only absolutely authentic cases OF
capture or sinking would be an
nounced. Neither Of two mention
ed incidents includes the case ii
which U. S. destroyer interrupted
U-boat in an attempt to sink a
ship.
The two cases cited have been
kept secret until today.

The above telegram was received
by William ]. Winery. chairman
Of the Hammond housing commit
tee, from Washington at noon 70
day and deals with the housing 90
preparation that has been made hv
the U. S. for the relief of war
workers in Hammond.
As far as is known no other city
in the county has yet been granted
an appropriation although it is
probable that both Gary and East
Chicago will be remembered by the
congressional committee.
Chairman Winery is yet unable
to give further details. He would
have liked Hammond to have got
a larger appropriation but feels
that half a loaf is better than none.
Hammond asked for an appro-
priation OF three million from the
U. S. housing fund and the amount
obtained is only a sixth of what is
needed. Gary has also asked fer
three million and the amount OF
her appropriation is anxiously
awaited.
The cutting down of the Ham
mond appropriation, which it is
estimated will build ESQ houses, is
no doubt due to the fact that the
Standard Steel Car Co., now gov
ernment plant, has already been
given an appropriation for building
200 new houses giving Hammond
about 500 new homes.
