F.D.R. OPPOSES
R EFER ( N DU IA

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. (UP)-
President Roosevelt was asked today
whether he thought a national
referendum on war was consistent
with the representative form Of
government. He answered with an
emphatic no.
A national referendum before
any declaration of War-except. in
case of invasion-would be pro-
vided by the Ludlow proposed
amendment to the constitution.
A petition forcing the Ludlow pro-
posal to the house floor Jan. 10
has been completed.
Mr.. Rooseyelt's sharp no was
his only statement on the war
referendum issue. When the ques-
ton was asked he replied simply
that the easiest way to answer that
question was in the negative and
said nothing more.
Mr.. Roosevelt's opposition to the
proposal of Rep. Louis Ludlow, D.,
Ind, followed vigorous objection to
the referendum plan expressed by
Secretary of State Cordell Hull.

Presently it was quieter. Most
OF the others had gone up on deck.
I followed.

The ensign, other sailors and l
boarded the last boat, going off
ct $50 pm. We almost held our
bgeaths. expecting the planes to
return.
The boat raced for the north
shore, almost a mile away. I step
ped ashore with a glow of gratitude.
The wounded were scattered along
the beach.
Suddenly we spotted two Japa-
nese military launches making for
the Panay.
Next the launches began firing
their machine guns, which was the
last straw. We felt certain the
Japanese were attacking us.
1t was the greatest terror I had
felt yet. We all feared that the
soldiers were closing in on us TO
wipe us out. However, after a brief
examination of the Panay, they
started upstream. We reappeared
and watched the Panay keel over
and sink.

Everything was peaceful, and
there was hardly sound on the
river Then there was the sound of
sn airplane far overhead.
An eerie whistling sound followed
as three heavy japanese bombing
planes. 10000 feet up, released
bombs.
The first made a direct hit on
the forward gun Another struck
the Panay near the port side.
The detonation of the bombs was
almost unbelievably terrific.
The bomb that struck the for

bridge. Lieut. Comdr. James J.
Hughes. Washington, D. c.. the
commanding officer, was hurled

For a split second there was the
roar of motors as six light bombers
started down in power dives, bomb
ing and machine cunning.
No orders were issued because
rome were needed. The bluejackets
IL an instant were running toward
the boat deck TO man the machine
suns.
The Panay's machine guns be-
gan rattling out their staccato
blasts and the battle was on The
Panay was stricken and she soon
was to sink. That made no differ
ence. Again and again the planes
came down in power dives.
The ship was rocking crafty at
each bomb explosion. Conclusion
hurled many to the deck and bang
eG them against walls
Two boats splashed down into
the river from the Panay and
members of the crew began load
ing them with the wounded.
1t looked as if We had seen the
worst. But then the japanese
planes dived down like angry horn
cts and machine gunned the boats.
II one launch were five of the
wounded. Alex Kozak, machinist's
mate, was wounded in the chest.
Three holes were put through
the boat, and the men had to keep
hailing it out with steel helmets
during all the trips it made be-
tween ship and shore with crew
and passengers.
When the japanese planes first
appeared overhead, 1 was on the
coat deck.
Covert came the shout and
ali of us dived for the hospital
as the first explosion came.
The first explosion floored us. -
During momentary iull. several
oi us dashed out. There was an
other explosion. We darted back,
4lattening out on the deck. The air
was filled with prayers and curses.
