fighter plane was reported by the
high command today to have sunk
an 8,000-ton merchant ship off Mid
dlesbrough while bombers de-
stroyed barracks and other build
ings in two British troop camps.
Informed sources said that, in ad-
dition to sinking the merchantmen,
German planes also badly damaged
a conveying destroyer in the Mid
dlesbrough attack. but the high
command communique did not
| mention that report.
/ In yesterdays air fights, the high
command said, four British planes
were shot down but it was acknowl-
edged that five of our planes are
missing"
During the night of November
10-11, British bombings in Germany
fired a lumber yard and damaged
electric lines, two farmsteads and
dwelling house, the high command

against London, the German air
force also hit storage houses and
traffic facilities in Hastings, Dover.

mouth, railways at Eastbourne, the
Ipswich Norwich railroad line and
Chatham industrial plants, the high
/ command said.
British troop camps at West Lut-
worth and Dungeness were claimed
to have been hit
In another raid the railroad sta
ton at Bexhill was reported bombed,
the explosives damaging tracks and
setting buildings afre.
During raids in Germany last
night, British planes were said to
have been forced to turn about
in an attempt to reach Berlin. One

Seismogropher Explains
Blue Flashes in Quake

NEW YORK, Nov. II tP)-The
Rev. Joseph J. Lynch. Fordham Uni
versity seismographer, said yester-
day that a ninth-grade quake, such
as that which rocked parts of Ru-
mania today, was of sufficient force
greatly to damage structures built
in the ordinary way.
Specifically, a quake of that grade
does slight damage in specially
designed buildings, Father Lynch
said, but considerable damage in
ordinary substantial buildings.
The "blinding flashes of blue light,
reported by eyewitnesses of the Ru-
manian quake, were described by
the seisinographer as having re-
suited from the first wave of the
earthquake as it reached ground
surface.
A quake comes in three distinct
waves. Father Lynch explained, with
the first producing varying phe-
nomena which he said was likely tc
provide such an effect. The second
and third waves, he added. were the
ones that did the real damage as
they broke surface
Father Lynch said that Rumania
was in one of the two great earth
quake belts in the world and that
the country had experienced several
shocks of lesser degree in the last
year.
The belt in which Rumania Is Sit
uated runs north from the Mediter-
ranean Sea across India and up
into that country. he pointed out
while the other huge belt-wherein
quakes of greater intensity are felt
is on the Pacific Coast of this coun-
try and up the japanese coast.

u. S. Squadron
lOutwits Britons
| In Moneuvers

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. lift the first
motorized American squadron OF
home guards in England can be-
fiddle the Germans as well as 1t
did the Coldstream Guards, it will
be a complete success.
The Red Eagle Squadron of Amer
leans held its first major field ma
neuver in a home counties prob
lem" its undertaking being to
escort to the safety of a nearby
English town IAN important Eng
lish general who had eluded cap
ture by the Germans"
The Americans fooled the Cold
stream Guards, who were supposed
to be the Germans, into thinking
Bernard S. IlloWay of Salt Lake
City, Utah, was the general. They
allowed him to be captured and
then triumphantly escorted the real
general to safety.
Newspapermen tried to follow the
maneuver, but got nothing more
than nice ride through the lovely
countryside and were as puzzled as
the Coldstream Guards.
Once the reporters themselves
penetrated a smoke screen in a road
and captured a town to the dis
gust of the residents and the Red
Eagle Brigade.
Gen. Wade Hayes of Norfolk
Va, told the reporters he felt the
squadron was more important
psychologically than as military
unit" because he felt it represented
'the feeling and spirit of a great
many Americans" who desired to
help England.
The four troop commanders are
Carl Frank of New Berlin, Ill;
Dallas Dixon of New York and
Dallas, Tex; Jack Bray of Bridge
port, Conn, and Charles Sweeney

Japanese Expected
To Seek Additional
Rights in |ndo-China
Demands Will Be Aimed
At U. S. and Britain, Say
Shanghai Sources
BY the Associates Press.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 11-Informed
foreign sources predicted today the
japanese would bear down on
French Indo-China for additional
military concessions, possibly aimed
against the United States and Brit
ain, after concluding an economic
agreement now nearing completion.
Dispatches from Hanoi said agree
ment between Indo-China and a
japanese mission was near on i'm
mediate japanese purchases of rub
Der, coal and foodstufts. A COM
mercial pact covering future eco
nomic relations between the two
countries was expected to be signed
in Toxic before the end of the
month.
Sources in Shanghai declared that
the large Cam-Ranh Bay naval base
on the southeast coast of French
Indo-C China would be one of Japan's
principal objectives in angling for
more military concessions.
A high Japanese official in Shang-
hal said the naval base was impor-
tant in establishing the third side
of triangular defense setup which
he said Japan was working out to
protect her greater East Asia" pro-
gram from all outsiders-including
the United States, Britain and Soviet
Russia.
Pacific Farley Suggested.
This official said the japanese
still hope for an improved under
standing with the United States in
which the United States would rec
ognize the japanese sphere" in
Asia, and suggested that a Pacific
conference might iron out all diff
ferences.
He added that Russia alone would
benefit from war between Japan
the United States won such war,
she would have to fight the Soviets
later"
Japan was described as seeking to
establish a deep-sea defense line
from Cam-Ranh Bay to Northern
Borneo, which could be mined and
guarded by japanese Warships, iso-
lating the big British naval base at
Singapore from Hong Kong, and
permitting a blockade of the Meth
erlandS Indies.
The official said Japan did not
intend to use such blockade in
military operations against the East
Indies because Japanese felt an
acceptable economic agreement with
the Dutch colonial government there
would be reached.
Would Guarantee Islands.
Neither has Japan any intention
OF occupying the Philippines, he
said, adding that instead Japan was
willing to guarantee the safety OF
the islands.
The other two sides of the
triangular defense plan, he said,
already are set up: First, naval line
of defense directed against the
United States and running through
the japanese inundated islands, and
second, land and sea defense
against Russia, including the
Kwangtung army stationed in Man
chukuo.
The official said Japan had estab-
lished strong seaplane and sub
marine bases in the inundated
islands, but said no heavy fortifica-
tons had been built there because
of prohibitive expense.
Since the conquest of France by
Germany Japan has gained air and
military bases in Indo-China.

wrecked and the roof of Rumanian
Army headquarters in Bucharest
collapsed.
Panic stricken residents of the
capital were afraid to go home Tor

sought safety in fields and woods
and invalids spent the night in beds
under the trees in the city's parks,
miserable under drilling rain.
The royal palace suffered some
damage, but King Mihai and Queen
Mother Helen were outside the
quake area, at the summer palace
in Sinaia.
The ceiling of the Continental
Hotel collapsed, injuring many, and
the area around the Libbies Hotel,
Bucharest's largest, was roped on

The status of the Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority is affected not only
by President Roosevelt's fourth re-
organization plan, but also, to a
lesser extent, by the somewhat
earlier third plan. Although SEN
ator McCarran. Democrat, of Ne
vada has introduced resolutions
opposing both plans, 1t is against
the fourth plan that the chief op-
position is developing.
Reorganization Plan No. III,
which deals with intradepartmental
changes, in the language OF the
President, draws a more practical
separation between the functions of
the administrator Of the Civil Aero
nautics Board" (the proposed name
for the c. A. A. following its trans
fer into the Commerce Depart
ment).
Under the original c. A. A. setup,
the Authority itself had jurisdiction
over the Safety Regulations, Eco
nomic Regulations and General
Counsel's Divisions. The admins
TRAITOR took charge Of the Federal
Anyways Division. Safety Regula-
tions include certificates and in
spection, private flying development
and regulations and enforcement
sections.
It was found in the practical
operation of the organization that
the certificate inspection and pri-
vate flying development sections
more closely fitted in with the duties
of the administrator than with those
of the Authority itself. In the in
terests of efhcient operation, there
fore, the administrator also as
sumed the unofilcial post Of super
visor" over these two sections. In
the capacity of supervisor he worked
under the Authority; Is admins
traitor, he functioned independently.
Under this unomcial setup regula-

changes we're purely administrative
and had little effect outside the

these administrative changes, which
already had been made and were in
operation.
