BOM BINC OF
 PANAY TOLD
 BY MARSHALL
Visibility Excellent at Time Japanese Launches
 Also Made Attack

SLANG HAT, Dec. 15. = Jim Marshall, Far East correspondent of Golfers Magazine, one of the survivors of the bombing and sink ing of the U. s. gunboat Panay last Sunday, and who has arrived here said the Panay opened fire on the attacking Japanese planes when the bombs started dropping and kept her guns blazing until the last minute.p
 Marshall arrived here today by plane from Wuhu to which place he made his way after the attack on the Panay and the sinking of that craft.
 "The Japanese planes dropped 12 bombs around the Panay and Stan dard oil vessels and they came so close that it was impossible for the pilots not to know that the Panay was a foreign vessel" said Marshall.
 Visibility was excellent. The first bomb hit the forecastle of the Panay and when the vessel began sinking, then the Captain ordered her abandoned.
 "All the members of the crew and the passengers jumped over side. I landed on the deck of the Standard Oil ship Meian and was stzflck on the shoulder by sharpnels
 Marshall said he had not seen Japanese launches machine gum ming the Panay before she went down as reported here by Colin Mcdonald, correspondent of the London Daily Times, who was an other survivor
 Other survivors reaching here said the Panay anti-aircraft gum ners and machine gunners remain ed at their posts firing at the planes and launches until they were forced to flee from the sinking vessel

STREAMLININC FOR FUNERALS
 NOT TOLERATED
Soldiers Must Lose Drills to Pay Last Respects
 to Warriors
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec 15-There are getting to be so many military funerals around this place that a soldier can't keep in practice on his fighting.
 An officer who had done a spell at nearby Fort Mayer, from which Washington gets much of it's parade material, said that some times there are six or seven funerals a day in Arlington and it cuts into an out fits drill time amazingly:
 The officers and soldiers are properly respectful of veterans of the several wars, all of whom are entitled to Arlington burial. But after all, they don't know one in a hundred of the men whose bodies are brought to Arlington for burial.
 The result is that funeral duty, in the eyes of the soldier and his boss, means merely a half hour ride in a truck to the grave side, a period of standing at attention while taps is blown and then bangaway into the air with blanks in the sa- lute to which each warrior is en- titled.

Whole Future of Rights in China Involved in Re-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.- The United States protest to Japan on the reckless and un- warranted bombing and sink ing of the United States gum boat Panay on the Yangtze River last Sunday, informed persons declare, has raised the broader question of the whole future of American rights in China.
 President Roosevelt and Secretary of State C0rdell Hull today awaited a direct reply to the formal note sent to the Japanese Government on the bombing and sinking of the Panay. The note not only requested adequate repara- tions for the sinking but also a guarantee of no further 'sun- lawful interference" of Am erican rights. 1t is on this latter issue that responsible persons declared a showdown might come in American and Japanese relations, unless Ja- pan agrees internationally to the United States terms for an amicable settlement.
 A majority of the House members have signed a peti- tion to bring about a vote on the Constitutional amend ment requiring a popular ref erendum before the United States declares war. Secretary Hull said: "I am unable to see the practicability of this pro- posal from a standpoint of peace"

ALASKA BILLS

 ON FAvORABLy
Committee on Territories in House Act on
 Measures
By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate DimOnd

SecTetdTy tC DtitBdtC Diuohu
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-(Special Correspondence) - Favorable report was made by the House Committee on Territories on three Alaska bills on December 1.
 One of these was the bill intro duced by Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond to authorize the transfer of the city lot on which the old court house at Ketchikan now stands from the Federal Government to the City of Ketchikan This lot is desired by the city as the site for public school building, and as it will no longer be required by the Govern ment after completion of the new Federal building which is now un- der construction at Ketchikan, little, if any, opposition to the transfer of the site to the city is expected in Congress. The transfer of title is especially justified in view of the fact that the city provided the site for the new building at a cost of approximately $13,000. The transfer has not been objected to by any of the departments concerned.
 Exploration Bill
 Another of the bills reported is one to extend the right to explore and mine for gold and other precious metals to all land and shoal water between low and mean high tide on all shores, bays and inlets of AL aska within the jurisdiction of the United States. Present law pro- vides for this only in the Boring Sea area. Enactment of this measure would also amend existing law so as to transfer jurisdiction of such mining operations from the Secre- tary of War to the Secretary of the Interior, which would be in line with the general laws relating to naming on all public lands.
 The other bill reported out would authorize public utility districts in Alaska to incur bonded indebtedness for the purpose of undertaking pub lie works. In 1885 the Territorial Legislature made provision whereby any village or settlement in Alaska not in an incorporated municipality and having 200 or more population could incorporate as a public utility district to construct and maintain any kind of public utility. However, the initial investment in most pub lie utilities is so great that the dis trictS cannot set them up without obtaining money through the issu- ance of bonds for the purpose. It was to meet these situations where a district proposes to provide itself with an eletcric generating plant or a water system or other public util- ity that the Delegate introduced and is sponsoring the proposed legisla- tion.

When it is necessary to wash ap-
pliaaces, make sure that they are
disconnected from the circuit, and
take care to keep the electrical
parts dry.
Electrical toys, like all other cleo
trical devices, are safe if they are
well made and kept in good cOndi-
tion but it is evident that the same
careful treatment must be exercised
with these devices intended for con-
nection to the house circuit as with
the regular household appliances.
Parents should subject electrical
toys to a careful inspection from
time to time to see that they are
in good order. Attention should be
given to the condition of the cords,
particularly if these are of sub
standard variety and do not carry
the Underwriters label.
There is one precaution to be OBJ
served in lighting Christmas trees
with electric lamps. If the nodded
insulating material, Of which the
small lamp sockets are made, does
not extend far enough beyond the
end of the metal screw-shells, the

by means of the supply cord lest the
wire connections be broken. Do not
hang the pad on a hook in a closet
by means of the cord. Keep the orig
inal container to protect the pad
when it is not in use. The practice
of sticking safety pins through pad
to hold it in place should be avoided
because pins are likely to make con-
tact with the heating element. This
would make the pin "alive" which
might constitute a shock hazard. 1t
is important to see that fabric COW
cred pads are always kept dry. In
fants, invalids or sleeping persons
using heating pads should be at
tended.
The precaution regarding keeping
heating pads dry applies to all ap-
pliances so far as the heating ele-
ments are concerned. When the
electrical insulation of an appliance
becomes wet, it's effectiveness is
greatly reduced because water is a
conductor of electricity. 1t is evil
dent that appliances should not be
immersed in water so that their
electrical parts become soaked.

Of two sockets at the same time, a
short circuit may result. This kind
of an accident cannot happen with
a lighting set having sockets prop

If metal refectors are used see that
the metal foil of the refectors is
