NITED STATES ARMY
HEADQUARTERS IN AUST
RALIA, March 3l-(R-Col.
Eugene L. Eubank, head of the
U. S. bomber command in the
Philippines and the Netherlands
East Indies, smashed japanese
claims to superior flying ability
with a report today that his men
shot down; so enemy pursuit
planes in action and sank or
seriously damaged As transports
and Is warships up to March /.
The officer gave the first de-
tailed report of bombing opera
tons from the start of the war In
the Pacific until the fall of Java,
bearing out the previous asser-
ton of Lieut.. Gen. George H..
Brett, commander of Allied Air
forces in the Pacific, that the
Americans had shot down more
than three planes to ore.
EXCLUDE GROUND LOSSES
Col. Eubank, of Port Arthur,
Texas, and Albuquerque, N. NJ,
said the Japanese losses he listed
did not include numerous planes
destroyed on the ground.
Our losses in action were ex~
tremely low, especially consider
ing the long range of action" he
said at a press conference.
1--WE lost only two planes
through pilot error, mistakes in
landing, etc. This is Q marvel
lous record and puts the Japan
csc flying to shame"
He described the heroic work
of the bomber command in the
Philippines and the Netherlands
East Indies, praising officers and
enlisted men alike.
MODEST SPOKESMAN
The officer did not refer to his
own achievements but his name
is on the list of many bomber
command members mentioned
for various awards.
Col. Eubank said the Philip
pines were not caught unawares
by the war. They had been on
war alert and ready for enemy
operations. A number Of mis-
sions were carried out Dec. 8

LONDON, March 81 R-
German naval attacks on a con-
voy carrying British and Amer
lean supplies to Murmansk have
been beaten off by British and
Russian forces with one large
German destroyer crippled and
three U-boats severely damaged
if not sunk, the Admiralty an
nounced today.
The first British account Of
the northern sea battle, about
which the Germans have been
Boosting for four days, said two
British ships were damaged, the
new 8,OOO-ton cruiser Trinidad
and the 1,375-tor d estroye r
Eclipse. Both returned to their
port, however, q communique
said.
The British and Russians en-
gagged the enemy Sunday as the
convoy was ploughing its way
slowly through heavy seas. Visi-
bility, reduced by freque
snowstorms, hindered the oper-
atoms.
The Trinidad opened fire on
one large enemy destroyer which
she crippled and set on fire, the
Admiralty communique said. The
Eclipse scored q direct hit on .

Itrated" a tank-led Soviet at
tack in the critical battle around

The high command described
the dive-bombing assault as TAX

Wrapped for many weeks.

Final Spike
is Driven in
Drain Suits

The doors closed yesterday on
a decade-long fight to force Ma
comb County to pay $5,597,-
1850 to drain bondholders who
invested that sum in the securi-
ties during the 1926-1929 period.
A petition by the bUndholders
for a rehearing yesterday was
denied in Washington by the
United State Supreme Court.
virtually hating any further
efforts at litigation.
Bonds issued by the county for
the construction of the Nine-Mile
Hallway, Center Line Relief and
Martin drains were never paid
off because of the contention
that the funds were used partly
for sewer construction.
An early court decision on the
case was in 1892 when the State
Supreme Court ruled favorably
to the county. Since that time,
appeals of one sort and another
have dragged 1t through most Of
the lower Federal courts. In
1895, the county offered bond
holders settlement but they re-
fused any offer Of less than 100
cents on the dollar and the liti-
Ustion was continued.
Attorneys who drew up the
briefs for the county on the lat
est petition were: ex-governor
Alex Groesbeck, Hugh Francis
and Bert v. Nunneley.

Persistent reports that one Of
Mount Clemens most notorious
brothels is still Haunting the
law within q stones throw OF
police headquarters and in the
shadow of one of the city's most
eminently respectable churches
were denied flatly today by
Police Chief Arthur I. Rosso and

The resort, variously known
as the Clinton View Hotel,
"Whitey's" and "Jimmy's Place"
is located at 70 So. Broadway
and, according to numerous

during the late hours each night.
ONE LONE RAID
Repeated complaints indicate
that from five to seven girls are
employed regularly in the resort
which has long escaped official
interference on one of the city's
principal streets. It is located q
short block and half from both
police and sheriffs headquart-
ers. The last official record of q
raid there indicates that q sher-
ifs patrol smashed in the doors
and destroyed much of the equip
ment approximately one year
ago. So far as is known that was
the first raid in many years;
and the last officially recorded
Patrons of the brothel are re-
ported to be using the conven-
iently located city parking lot al
the corner of Gratiot avenue and
Church streets to quiet public
awareness of unusual traffic in
the locality. Informants report
occupants of those cars scurry-
ing through side and rear en-.
frances of the resort after first
peering cautiously up and down
the streets to determine If their
approach has attracted atten-
ton.

Martinique Reported Ready
To Move Billion in Gold
BY the Associated Press.

BY tho Associated Press.
LONDON, May 8.-The Daily
Sketch declared today the Vichy
government is preparing to move
nearly billion dollars" in French
gold reserves to Venezuela from
Martinique.
The sketch reported in its Inside
Information" column that two
French submarines are en- route to
pick up the treasure and that they
would relay 1t to four neutral cargo
| boats chartered to take it on to
Venezuela.
The gold would be distributed
among four ships so the loss would
not be as great if any was sunk by
Axis submarines, the Sketch said,
adding:
"Vichy fears that Martinique
might be occupied by the United
States if relations deteriorate be-
cause of the (British) occupation
of Madagascar
1t was explained that the gold
originally was taken to Canada and
then to Martinique, and the Sketch
said small part later was trans
ferred to Dakar, French West Africa
The Inside Information" column
also asserted that "a number of
Vichy officials already have es-
capped from Madagascar to Portu-
guese Mozambique, among them
/ Comdr. Lagarde, who took docu-
ments and files that would have
been of value to Britain"
