Axis Planes Blast
Big British Convoy
Bottle Roors in
Western Mediterranean

ROME, (from Italian broad
casts), Aug. Is - up - The
Italian high command reported
today that Axis planes and sub
marines attacking big British
convoy in the western Mediter-
ranean since Tuesday had in
flicted heavy losses ION the con-
voy, to escorting vessels, above
all TO aircraft carriers which suf-
fered many hits, and to enemy
air forces"
THE action, still in progress
showed results favorable to us,
said the communique, which re-
ported the British convoy was
escorted "by an imposing num-
Der of warships, among which
were numerous aircraft car
riers."
(The British announced yes
terday the loss of the aircraft
carrier Eagle.)
The high command said the
battle had been in progress
since dawn Tuesday when Axis
planes and submarines went into
action.
It added that "exact damage
inflicted upon the British would
be announced later.

Cubans of all degrees have

gas rationing first went into eff

cars. Business houses were ask

Yet Eduardo Montoulieu, head
of the Public Works Special

70 per cent of private business
reports were falsified, and en-
forced a 33 l-3 per cent cut. The

NEW YORK, Aug. 13- R -
Round-the-clock Nazi air raids
on the Russian port of Muir
mansk, with the Germans taking
advantage of the 24-hour Arctic
daylight and doubling their
aerial bombardment with arrival
of Allied conveys, were reported
today by a young Brooklyn sail

but the Russian anti-aircraft
batteries are good and often bag
as many as eight planes out of a
raiding party of 25," said Joseph
Whalen, 20, who spent more
than a month in the Russian
port.
Whalen said the raiders con-
centrated on docks and on ship
ping anchored in the harbor,
where they frequently drop
mines"

were lost because of this (mine-
dropping) action in less than
two weeks of each other" he
added.
His convoy reached Murmansk
last April after weathering
five-day submarine attack.
On the trip home, he said, the
convoy proceeded without attack
despite enemy plane reconnais-
sance until within sight of land
when explosions sent columns of
water high into the air and sud
denly ships began to 60 down
and men poured over the side
into lifeboats."

desire to build. Speculation as to
who controls critical building

Lack of Shipping Cuts Once Lush
Tourist Trade by 80 Per Cent
BY ROBERT RUARK
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

HAVANA, Aug. 10 - Cuba is
one of the worlds largest meat
producers, but here there is a
shortage of beef. Itice is the
staff of Cuban life, but rice, IN
almost 100 per cent import, has
trebled its price.
Cuba's tremendous molasses
supply can produce alcohol
plenty, but there is a serious
shortage of the commodity. A
short time ago, when il was inn
possible to buy a quart of alco-
hol in the shops. a Havana fire
consumed 100000 gallons stored
in a warehouse.
U. S. SHIPS
COME IN EMPTY
Despite the United States
purchase of the 1912 sugar crop,
Cuba has a lean and hungry
look. Food prices have leaped
until recent wage increases we're
swallowed whole. Because If
poor shipping coordination -
mostly Americas tault-empty
ships come into Havana harbor
to take back sugar, while goods
for Cuban consumption are
stacked tree-top tall on Miami
and Port Everglades docks. Yet
British vessels, nosing into port
for cargo, unload their cases of
fine Scotch whisky and gin,
while pharmacies beg for Amer
lean medicines.
Electric power, gasoline, tires
and critical building materials
are rationed. But, without a "a
ton card of any sort, l had no
difficulty buying 20 gallons Of
gas at one crack-10 gallons for
the tank and 10 for two spare
cans.
Tires can be purchased if you
know the right guy. AS for new
building, shortage or no stcrt-
age, Havana is having the biz
gest boom in years. IN The citys
swankier residential districts,
Miramar and Jai-
modern, exp ensive
houses are springing up like
toadstools.
