the British have enough to lend us some, They are going to do that abundantly, the United Press was told.
 The biz problem is shipping. But that is coming along, and through out Washington today all inquiries are met with replies which 1t pretty well into Churchill's pattern of on anti-Axis offensive In about 12 months. The plan not only Is to take the offensive In 104S but to take 1t in "eveSy part of the globe.
 Churcniil's visit here has reached its climax of personal triumph and the broad outlines of policy such as would have to be agreed upon by the two chiefs of state, themselves, apparently are in substantially nnal form.
 It was disclosed last night that Churchill will address joint ses- sion of the Canadian parliament n Ottawa Tuesday. The time of his departure from Washington waS not revealed. . The technical discussions of the experts are expected to continue for weeks or months or perhaps until victory Is won.
 The triumphant phase of the Churchill visit came yesterday when he addressed an informal joint ses. sion of Congress and, finally, walked slowly from the midst of on ova- ton two fingers of his right hand held high with the confident sign: v (for vietory).
 He lunched with e group of sem ators after that end in the early afternoon spoke to MT. Roosevelt's cabinet, repeating some of the sen- timents he had spoken In the Senate chamber. His counsel to the leglsla- tors and people of the United States was to expect disappointments, to harden themselves against impa- tience, to set themselves now for . long, hard war.
 He said we--the allleS--wouldw be on the offensive In 1943. For the Axis he had only the warning that opposed by our best eRorts, at must expect defeat.
 "What kind of people do they think think we are2" asked Church i'll. He was referring specifically tc the Japanese but his words fitted the other Axis powers as well.
 "Is 1t possible they do not realize that we never shall cease to perse- were against them until they have been taught 6 lesson which they themselves and the world shall never forget"

 New tires and tubes may be mounted after Jan. s on atnhu- lances, fire and police cars and trucks, garbage disposal end other sanitation and mail service vericles. Buses or vehicles carrying 10 or more passengers as part of . reg ular transportation system, for transport of students and teachers to and from school projects may obtain needed replacements if oths CT transportation facilities are not available.
 New tires may also he purchased for farm tractors and equipment other than aut onoblles and trucks. They also will be available for trucks operated exclusively to carry Ice, fuel, waste and scrap ma terialS and to render repair roo6s ing, plumbing, heating and electyi- cal services.
 Each state and county will be limited to monthly quotas of new tires and tubes which may mean that even some prospective lessen. tial" purchasers will be unable to obtain tires.
 Here briefly is the procedure set up to ration the tires and tubes:
 Persons on the essential" list will fill out applications for submission to authorized dealers and garage. men who will inspect the condition of the old tires and tubes.
 If the inspector finds that the old equipment Is unsafe, cannot be repaired, reconditlonSd or retread- cd he will 60 certify on the appli- cation which is then taken by the prospective purchaser to the local rationing board for review.
 Then, the board may issue Q ceE. tificate enabling him to purchase the new tire or tube.

We watched while aO freighter slowly sank in the water, turning half around, A Japanese plane roared over and dropped another load of bombs on the stricken ship. I could not see whether a direct hit was scored, but the ship listed and Its forward end sank. She rolled over and, apparently resting on the bottom of the bay, lay with part of her stern out of the water.
 The Japanese planes were 10000 feet up.
 Nine silver Japanese planes, fly- ing directly toward us, but half a mile away, dumped their load all around Q nearby ship which was close to the pier. Water sprayed like geyser. As 1t suhsided I saw that one bomb had hit the old ship. Fire broke out on it.

 Wave after wave of planes, nine at a time, flew over. Two compan- Ions and I each took a forn1a ton of planes, to observe their bombing,
 One formation dropped its bombs and threw up water near the second freighter. The smoke and spray cleared and the ship still rode at its anchor.
 The bomberS eircled out over the bay and came roaring in, in battle formation, to drop bombs on the port area.
 Completing their bombing with hits on piers and waterfront build ings, the airmen flew over the de- fenseless city, dropping leaflets which told Filpinos that Nippon was not warning on them-only on Americans.
 Making my way through the Fili- pinoS, Spaniards and Chinese who form the 100000 population of the walled city area, I came to the scene of destruction.

 Of one flight of nine Japanese planes ovr the port area, two dis. appeared-how 1t was not known since there were no guns to hinder them.
