 MacArthur also announcd big raid on the Japanese base at Ermera on Timor Island in the northwest ern invasion zone and said that an enemy submarine railed in . gum fire attack on an Allied vessel off the southeast Australian coast.
 The American and Australian fly. CTS raiding Lac and Salamaua saw their bombs drop on the target areas,t but poor visibility prevented accurate observation.
 One formation led by Lieut.. Wal ter Krell, of Greenwich, CO, had as co.pilot an Australian officer making his second mission over the targets, and a rear gunner from Chicago, John Foley, recently pro- noted to a corporal. Foley is fa- nous among his buddies because of his difficulty in obtaining uniforms small enough.
 Foley bagged one of the 2eros, giv- ing him a score of three enemy planes shot down in two raids.
 His buddy, Pat Norton of Hart. ford, H., stood Foley to . soft drink treat while they exchanged impressions of the attack and the air battle which lasted for more than a half hour.

The captain explained he wanted the young stewardess to remain in the cabin until the last possible moment in case of enemy shellnire. He was anxious to protect her be- cause he was an told friend of her family" and she had decided to "ship along" against her family's wish because he had said he could not obtain boys for stewards work.
 TOrpedoes shattered the ship in the early afternoon the captain said, and one "sent her down by the head" The merchantman's gun crew fired at the coming tower of the submarine but were unable to make Q hit because Of the wallow- ing of their crOppled ship.
 As the lfeboatS were manned, 8 torpedo struck on the port side. Later, another torpedo struck near the stern, lifting a lifehoat out os the water and tossing sts passeEls gers through the air like birds"

 Capt. G. Ravens of San Carlos, Cal, said the ship was proceeding in bright sunshine when the torpedo struck.
 He said he did not see the at- tacking craft, but three of his crew said they saw the submarine peris- cope and coming tower clearly at a distance of not more than 1,700 yards.
 No Further Attacks
 Sailors in the lifeboat prepared their machine gun for action in case they should be shelled but were not subjected to further attacks.
 We were scared as hell the sub might machine gun us like the way we've been reading about in the papers," one of them said.
 Soong Kuk Kim, 9, Honolulu, a wiper, said he was asleep in his bunk when the torpedo struck and was thrown on the deck of the fore- castle. He spent 36 hours on a raft, clad in a polo shirt.
 B. M McElroy, 27, Oxford, Ala, said he was sitting near hatch when the ship was attacked.
 Tt blew me sky high in the air and l fell back down the hatch into pool of fuel oil," he said. Somehow I managed to crawl out. I don't remember just how"
 Sgt. Andrew Marines, 22, Orange, Cal, said he saw the submarines periscope but that 1t disappeared immediately after the attack.

 hs found by the court that they are legal.
 There never has been c definite ruling in the courts of this state on parking meters, Mfr. Cassidy said, though . case by Danbury taxpay- erB reached the courts.
 The corporation counsel has re- fl1sed to furnish information on the costs oe the enforcement of the meter regulations and on the methods of payment for the meters themselves, Mir. Cassidy told The Democrat. "He has treated this whole thing as Q joke", Mir. Cassidy said of Mir. Lynch.
 Clerk James Mcknight of the court of common pleas said that the case had been set down for a hear ang recently but that the city, on request of the corporation counsel, had been given 10 days to file new papers. Court adjourns for the sum- mer on the 26th, but Mir. Cassidy said he would press for a hearing before that time.
 Attorney Cassidy, who is repre- sented in his suit by Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis, former states attorney, contends that the police board, which made the original contract with the H. Rhodes O., of Hartford for installation of the meters, had no authority to do SO. 7e also contends that the city had no right to dig up the streets to in. stall the meter standards, and charges that the devices were out In ae q source of revenue rather than for traffic conrtol.
 Under common law, says MT. Cas- sidy, each property owner has rights over the area to the middle ot the street in front of his property.
 During recent weeks the city has installed several hundred new park ing meters, many of them In sec tions far removed from the down" town business district.
