action, so did Brig. Gen. ]. B. GJack)
Mitchell. John Haddock Of Wilkes
Barre, Valentine Bartlett, air-raid
warden of Hobe Sound and other
assorted socialities, some clad in
dinner jackets or evening gowns.
In the space of q few minutes
after Mrs. Scranton's telephone calls
the neighbors were plying 81 sailors
and the captain, with stimulants,
sandwiches, socks, clothing and SYM
pathy.
Wearing weird assortment of dry
garments, ranging from Mrs. Scran-
tons No. 2 dressing gown on an
ancient Greek, to checked sports
coats, bathrobes, silk pajamas and
golf sweaters, the survivors ate,
drank and made merry only an
hour and half after q submarine,
presumably Nazi, twice struck the
tanker with torpedoes and left 1t
wallowing in a rough sea.

the British left, where "all quiet"
was reported.
There was no confirmation here
of reports of Japanese landings in
the wide delta of the Irrawaddy
River, west of Rangoon.
British authorities yesterday ad-
mitted that hopes for holding Ran
COON were dwlindling and that its
fall PROBABLY would open the way
to Japanese invasion Of the whole
colony, the barrier to India and
gateway to China.
Fresh Troops Seem Unlikely.
British reinforcements for their
hard-pressed Burma army seemed
unlikely because the port of Ran
COON was mined and because there
were no satisfactory overland COM
munications between the battle
front and India.
Then, too, it was questionable how
many Indian troops were available
OF the million under arms. A con-
siderable proportion of these have
been sent outside India, but it..is
believed most Of them went to the
British 9Th, 9th and 10th Armies
in Libya and the Bible lands.
Military experts expressed the
view that the British soon would
have to rely on India's defenses. in
view Of the ease and speed with
which the Japanese had negotiated
the difficult jungle terrain between
the Salween and the Bilin.
Rivers around which the British
had constructed series of strong
points" had failed the defenders
because the present dry season left
them sluggish and narrow.
Difficult Mountains.
Should the British lines be shat
tered, the Japanese still would have
difficult mountains to cross before
reaching the gates of India. 1t ap-
peared probable that the Imperials
could take to the hills for effective
guerrilla warfare, delaying the jap
anese until formidable force could
be gathered in India to parry their
thrust. Burma is about the size
of Texas.
The British said Rangoon had
not been evacuated oficially and
that only a few non-essential gov
ernment employees had left. Should

ably was Just target practice"
A bit later they heard that the
field was being attacked and rushed
out. Mr.. Wheeler said they saw the
submarine land flashes of the gun
as it went of. One shell whined
over my head"
Mrs. Wheeler didn't hesitate in
saying that when the Smelling start
ed she was scared to death"
II saw several shells explode on
the beach," she said. Great foun-
tains of dirt were shot into the air.
Just like pictures in news reels.
The shelling was so heavy it shook
our house, Just like an earthquake 4"
The blackout tied up traffic 25
miles or more inland and was re-
ported 100 per cent effective" by
ofncers.
At midnight, shortly before the
all clear sounded. the Ventura
sheriff's Office arrested four Japa-
nese and an Italian. Sergt. Leslie
williams said the italian and two
japanese were driving about the
city, despite ban on trafic in
blackouts. He said they were armed.
7 other two japanese were
questioned because they had been
near Goleta about the time Of the
attack. They said they were driving

Angeles, where they were produce
nasSchants, and knew nothing OF,

counted IL shells that burst, most
of them on the Staniff place (where
Mr.. Brown lives and the Barnsdall

shell at 7:35 pm.

One Shell Thrown 3 Miles.
Mr.. Brown SAID Barnsdans main
absorption plant, almost on the
beach, seemed to be the submarines
objective. Bankline and Rio Grande
Oil companies also have leases in
this, the Ellwood, field Wells ex-
lend out into the Pacific to form
one of the largest submarine oil
fields in the Western Hemisphere,
but the submersible made no at
tempt to destroy these.
One Of the shells whistled three
miles inland to the Tecolote Ranch,
where 1t exploded. Another cleared
the highway and burst in the foot
hills. Others fell short, on the
beach.
Mr.. Brown said "some Of the
shells landed awfully close to the
absorption plant, throwing up
geysers Of dirt and sand near the
building. There must have been
20 or Is men working in the field
and nobody was injured. Their
shooting wasn't very good"

miles of Rangoon itself, which lies
to the southwest around the head
of the Gulf of Martaban.
CThe All-India radio broadcast
an R. A. F. communique from
Rangoon reporting attacks by
American volunteer and British
flyers against japanese land and
air forces. Four enemy planes
were destroyed on the ground,
with no loss to the attackers, the
communique said0
1t appeared probable that north
of Pegu, already bombed several
times by the Japanese. the Rangoon-
Mandalay-Lashio railway line now
might come under direct artillery
fire. From a point so miles north
east of Pegu the railroad follows
the valley of the Sittang and for
1870 miles north to Pyinmana never
runs more than 10 miles west OF
the river itself.
The rail line lost much Of its
strategic value when the flow OF
supplies to China over this route
virtuAfiy was suspended last week
with the mininS@of ~the sea ap-
proaches to Rangoon. But it still
would be of tremendous Importance
to the Japanese, either for a north
ward thrust into upper BuSma at
the Burma road itself, or for7a drive
directly on Rangoon to the south.
Heavy Casualties Reported.
The military commentator in dis
cussing the fighting along the Sit
tang River said there was confused
and heavy fighting" throughout the
area, with heavy casualties"
There still is communication with
Rangoon, he added. and the Japa-
nese have made no attempt to flank

Sub She||ed Cape Cod Shore
During First World War

It was a calm summer afternoon
as the Lehigh Valley tug Perth
Amboy moved along slowly only a
few hundred yards off shore, drag
ging a string of barges. Her cap
tain was sleeping, children aboard
were skipping rope on the cargo
matches. Family washing tapped
in the breeZeS.
Suddenly, with both guns blazing,
the U-boat charged. The first
shell struck the tugs wheelhouse.
Shrapnel bursts followed. The tug
wallowed and explosions set her
afire. She burned rapidly to the
waters edge, but coast guardsmen
rescued II from the tug and its
convoy.
The U-boat, turning from the
sinking tug, approached nearer and
raked the shore. Navy hydroplanes
attacked the submarine with aerial
bombs, but the German commander
defiantly continued his fire for a
few minutes before sailing away.

to a 73-year -old oiler with a bald
head and pushed-in face, Hi just
come from bit Of fishing, don't
you know. and we had bit Of tough
luck"
The ancient oiler grinned and
scratched his head in pewilderment.
I've been sailing 40 years." he said.
During the first World War we
nearly got sunk of the Grecian coast
but a Frenchman chased of the
sub. Now we get it four miles of
Florida and with me asleep in my
underwear. Amt that fate-or
something2"
So close to shore did the attack
occur that none Of the % sailors
were even breathing heavily after
their row in the lifeboat, but before
they left the Scranton beach house
some were breathing heavily, so
much so, in fact, that the gracious
hostess hid the bottles of good cheer
and substituted IS bills.
One of the sailors, as he ploughed
up the 80 yards Of sandy beach to
spread wet sand on the handsomely

Of youth. He is 80, his foe 81.
The colonel Is rotund and of

Col. Rottjer's seconds called on
the young investigator soon after
Damonte Taborda in a political
speech had assailed the colonel's
actions as acting governor of the
Buenos Aires Province-Argentina &
largest, wealthiest and most densely
populated area.
Damonte Taborda is running for
reelection and was quoted as say
ing from the stump that Col. Rott-
jer was a disgrace to the army uni

which he had stood by when elec-
tions considered by Damonte Ia

"You can't fool me-" he said.
This amt Florida-it's Hollywood"
He waved his hand to embrace the
rambling white house with the royal
palms, punctuated with sea grape
trees. IF this amt a Hollywood
set," he added, II didn't escape from
that boat"
Another sailor, a youngster who
"fell into the lifeboat," said he was
through with sailing on tankers. ITO
hell with it," he said, from now on
I'm going to do little sniping my
self. I'm joining the Navy"
When the Army sent transporta-
ton to remove the survivors, tears
welled in the eyes Of the sailors as
they bade goodbye to the social
elite, the occupants Of an island to
which are attached such as Drama
tist Philip Barry, william Slocum
Barstow, friend and sponsor Of
Thomas Edison; former Represent
ative Beman Gates Dawes, Edsel

bald head.

homes" replied Mrs Scranton.
Seventy-flve per cent of the citi-
zens. according to Stuart police, tele-
phoned or came personally to in

shooting into shore, or whether the
nextdoor neighbor had dynamited

or the Army or the Coast Guard.
I'VE heard the explosion at II
o'clock" said Mrs. Scranton, and
when we heard cries for help we fig-
ured 1t was a tanker that had been
torpedoed and knew what to do. It

President Merges
Several Agriculture
Department Offices
Shoke-up Is Ordered
For Better Wartime
Use of Agencies

President Roosevelt today di-
rected the consolidation of sew
eral agencies within the Agri-
culture Department. The con-
solidations were specified in an
executive order.
The shakeup within the depart
ment declared to be for the pur-
pose OF furthering the successful
prosecution of the war through the
better utilization of agricultural re-
sources and industries" follows:
The Surplus Marketing Admin
istration, the Agricultural Marketing
Service and the Commodity Ex-
change Administration to be COM
bined into an Agricultural Market
ing Administration.
The Agricultural Statistics Divi-
sion to be transferred to the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics.
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, the Soil Conservation
Service. the Federal Crop Insurance
Corp, and the Sugar Division to be
placed in an agency known as the
Agricultural Conservation and Ad-
justment Administration.
The Bureau of Animal Industry,
the Bureau Of Dairy Industry, the
Bureau of Plant Industry, the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Chemistry and
Engineering, the Bureau of Ento-
mology and Plant Quarantine, the
Bureau of Home Economics, the
Once of Experiment Stations and
the BeltSville Research Center to be
consolidated into an Agricultural
Research Administration.
Agriculture Department officials
said the consolidation would cause
no transfer or cutting down of per-
sonned either in Washington or in
the field. Certain phases of the
shakeup, it was pointed out, were
undertaken as early as last Decem-
ber 13.
The Presidents order was issued
shortly before he was scheduled to
confer at the White House with
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
and Undersecretary Paul Appleby.
