 HearquarterS, United States Pa cific Fleet, Pearl Harbor, Oct. 1 - WP) The 24-year-old George F. Elliott was the only transport sunk out of the original invasion fleet which captured the southern Solomon Islands in the first United Nations South Pacific offensive, it is possible to reveal today.
 A Japanese torpedo plane which the Elliott's machine guns had crip- pied, crashed accidentally into its forward hold and set 1t af1re.
 Before it burned out, hours later, the old Baltimore mail liner dis charged every one of its troops and most of its supplies.
 The first landing parties of Mar ines had gone ashore August T.
 At noon August 8, fleet of up- wards of 40 JapaneSce torpedo car- rying planes, attempting to retrieve what was already a serious defeat roared over the harbor in which the George F. Elliott and other ships of the convoy were at anchor.
 The planes, closing in at low level. met what seemed to us a wall of anti-aircraft gun fire.
 Bomber after bomber dived into the sea or blew up in the air.
 The Navy claimed only .12 planes shot down by the ships guns and protecting fighter planes, in addi- tion to two shot down by shore guns. But the gunners of the sup posedly extremely vulnerable trans ports believe they themselves shot down 18.
 From ships nearby 1t was easy to see the Japanese plane which man euvered into position and dived for the George F. Elliott. The plane leveled, loosed torpedo, and tried to zoom over the shop.
 A blast of machine gun fire from the transport ripped into 1t.
 It went out of control instantly and spun down onto the bow of the Slliott, crashed through an open hatch and started fire in the for ward hold which could not be put out.
 The crew worked for hours to save the ship and all the time relays of men were taking out it's remaining supplies.
 In the end 1t was necessary to beach the ship and there, near Flor ida Island. we watched 1t burn for hours.
 The old transport was turned out by the Bethlehem shipyards at Ala naeda, Calf, in 1918 just too late to serve in the last World War. II was called first the Victorious, then the City of Hayre and next the City of Los Angeles before the Navy took it over and renamed it George F. Elliott.

BAKERS DISCUSS
 DELIVERY PLAN
Vote to Reduce Mileage of Trucks by 25 Per Cent
 -RatiOning Discussed

Members of the Connecticut Bak- CTS association, acknowledging that the tire situation is serious for their business, voted at meeting here last night to reduce the mileage of their delivery trucks by at least 9 per cent. The vote was unanimous.
 The bakers met at the Raymond Baking Go. plant on East Main street as guests of Adolph E. Rey- mond. State President Hudson Weigold of Mount Carmel presid- ed
 Guest speakers were William E.. Goodale, Of Rcxbury, Mass, presi- dent of the New England Bakers association, and Robert E. Sullivan of Boston, executive secretary of the same organization.
 Inability to secure tires will be only one of several major problems facing the industry, it was assert ed. The rationing of sugar will have an important effect on baking, speakers said.
 Bakers expressed belief that the tire problem would be eased. if all would arrange their deliveries so that the mileage would be reduced by one-fourth or more.
