BY the Associated Press
LONDON, March 24.-An Ital-
ian battleship was hit by "at
least" one torpedo in an action
in the past few days" the Brit
iSh Admiralty announced to-
night.
A communique acknowledged that
one British merchantmen had been
sunk by Axis attack in an air and
sea fight centering around passage
of convoy to Malta in the last few
days, but denied Axis claims to have
sunk British warships.
Cruiser Squadron Beaten on.
The Italian high command
claimed today that a British
cruiser, another naval unit and
two merchant ships were sunk
and other vessels hit in a battle
ranging from the Gulf of Sirte
into the Eastern Mediterranean
The British communique said the
fight started Sunday afternoon when
the British convoy escort beat of an
Italian cruiser squadron.
The Italians returned later the
same afternoon with at least one
battleship.
From short reports so far re-
ceived. it appears that our forces
carried out most gallant and deter
mined daylight torpedo attacks on
strong enemy forces and one italian
battleship was seen to be hit by at
least one torpedo" the Admiralty
announced.
Italians withdraw.
The Italians withdrew and made
no further naval attempt on the
convoy, but a sudden gale delayed
the conveys arrival at Malta and
gave Axis planes a chance to make
series of heavy attacks Monday,
the Admiralty said.
Full details we're still being
awaited. but it said enemy claims
to have sunk British warships are
without, foundation, although one
merchant ship was sunk by air at
tack"

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Gore. Demo-
crat, of Tennessee told the House
Naval Affairs Committee today
that there had been "scandalous
increases" in the salaries and
bonuses of corporation execu-
tives, running as high as 700 per
cent.
Earlier disclosure of huge bonuses
paid out under Government con-
tracts by Jack & Heintz, Inc,
Cleveland airplane parts company,
prompted a demand on the House
floor that those responsible for such
contracts be prosecuted.
Advocating strict limitation OF
profits, Senator Gore told the COM
mittee:
80 long as we attempt full
mobilization through the medium of
private enterprise, we must exercise
care that we do not destroy the
profit motive, but no American
should be actuated by a motive to
make a profit out of and because Of
his Nations peril
He said the "Scandalous increases
In salaries and bonuses were evi-
dence of two things "inordinate
profits and evasion of the high
bracket profit taxes

Mr.. Gore cited examples of bo-
muses. paid to corporation executives,
which he said he had taken from
reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. He said:
Mr. Bror Dahlbert, president Of
the Celotex Corp, received a bonus
in 1910 of 46,08114, which was in
addition to $4,000 salary. Mr.
Dahlbert received in 194l, in addi-
ton to his salary, a bonus of $751;
871 98. One vice president of that
corporation received a bonus in 1910
of over $4,000 and the same vice
president, Mr. Carl G. Muench, re-
ceived a bonus in 1941 of S31 STA 40.
Another vice president of the same
company. Mr.. L. r. Boulware, re-
ceived a like bonus of $31 STA 40 last
year.
Mr.. G w. Mason, president of
the Nash-Kelvinator Corp. re-
ceived a nice fat little bonus of
100000 last year which, in addi-
ton to his salary, gave him the
handsome compensation of $225,-
73107 for the good year 1941. How
good will 1912 be? The sales man
ager of this same corporation re-
ceived a bonus of $4,000 which was
in addition to his salary of S75,0 ,000
Indeed, the compensation of another
sales executive was increased from
the handsome sum of S49,99996 in
1910 to SLOT .14497 in 1941.
Other Bonuses Paid.
Mr. Joseph w. Frazer, president
of the WHY'S Overland Motors, Inc,
received a bonus of $4,000, which
was in addition to his salary of
100000 The compensation of the
general counsel of this corporation
was increased from $4,000 to s28, 900
To be sure, business must be good.
The chairman of the board, Mr.
Ward NJ Canady, who is not listed
as drawing a salary in 1910. was put
on the payroll in 1941 for s51 ,425."
Mr. Gore submitted also some
statistics on the outrageous increases

tives," listing among them

Another is that the more its history
is traced the less lovely it looks. Until
recently, it was assumed that it had
originated in a resolution Of the 1910

and that then Mrs Roosevelt took it
up and sold it to the President Now,

Mr. Murray, of course, injected
himself into this fight because of the
idea that repeal Of the poll tax would
enhance CIO political power. Perhaps
it would but if that reason did not
exist he would still have issued a
statement Few controversial matters
can escape a statement from Mr.. Muir
ray. He covers not only the fields OF
foreign policy, labor and politics but
of economies as Well While the tax
bill was pending statement followed
statement, and the $4,000 limitation
ON salaries naturally evoked from him
warm commendation. Since that order
went into effect. however, there has
been considerable diminution i'm the
enthusiasm Of its advocates One rca-
son is that it is now pretty clear that
the scheme is a ''phony'; that instead
of gaining, the Treasury will lose
revenue, and the main effecs will be a
small increase in unemployment and a
decrease in bond buying.

Coach Lee Boyle Of CaleXico Tues
day faced the perplexing problem
that may haunt all Imperial Valley
high school coaches-lack of suit
able football material due to stu
dent enlistment in the armed forces
or decreased school enrolment
caused by students working in de-
fense plants.
The 20 or SO hopeful Bulldogs that
turned out Monday to meet Boyle,
the new coach who takes the place
of Ed Covington, and to be issued
equipment to begin gridiron prac-
tice were not even as promising a
flock as turned out for the third
place CaleXico team last year.

team. Center Alfred Uribe and End
Andrew Huerta greeted Boyle. Sew
eral others with game experience
were on hand, however, and it is
around the two groups that Boyle
will atteElpt to fashion a squad of
at least Semi-fierce border pups.
Ralph Samaha, cracker jack passer,
turned up for the first days ses-
sion. Samaha has put on at least
10 additional pounds on his trim
body and will see much action in
the backfield He now weighs 1873
pounds.
Tackle Bill Hosea, Guard Bob
Simmons, and Back Albert Ramirez,
of the 191 B squad, comprise the
group with previous experience.
Oscar Andrade, freshman, was at
hand on the first day to keep 4up
a football tradition started and kept
alive by his brothers, Joe, Lauro
and Henry.
Fullback Fred Brown and Tackle
Lewis Jackson from last years team
were not present. Brown is expected
to be issued equipment soon But
Jackson has moved from Calexico
and may play ball for Ell Centre.
Undaunted by the lack of mate
rial, Boyle began 10 explain his
system to the boys and issued prac-
tice calls for twice a day-once at
6 am. and again at $50 pm. BY
concerted practice he expects to be
able to develop a team that will
be able to at least hold its own
against the larger schools of the
valley.

A badly-dented and far below
what expected at-the-end Of
last t-season gang of BraWley Wild
cats were issued football equipment
Tuesday by Coach Sheldon Lough-
borough and instructed in light
workouts for the fast approaching
Imperial Valley high school football
season.
With six lettermen, who were fig
ured to help bring championship
to BraWley for the first time in al
most a, decade, out and a possibility
that two more star backfield men
may not return, Loughborough de-
serves a place at the Wailing wall.
WILLIAMS NOT BACK
All-Valley halfback John Williams
whose speedy ball carrying almost
cost Ell Centro a league title last
season, has not enrolled in school
yet. Ray Minter, another colored
sprinter who packed the pigskin
for large gains, may be declared in
eligible because of a controversy
about his age.
The Navy has claimed several of
the stalwarts who were counted up
on by Loughborough to bring foot
ball glory to the Wildcats. Wayne
Harbert, tackle, j. B. Gillespie, end,
and Wayne Cummings, tackle, all
have donned the blues of sea serv-
ice. Tom Immamura, Japanese full
back, is now at PoSton, confinement
center for aliens. Immamura was
big and fleet. He weighed over IT'S
pounds and Loughborough rated his
services highly.
Also lost to BraWley are Carl
Sipes, end, and Billy Tom johnson,
guard. Sipes dropped from school
and johnson has moved to Texas.
Only sure backfield prospect of
Loughborough at the start of the
season is 120-pound Gene Minter.
lMinter scampered at the halfback
post last season when not crowded
from play by larger boys. Willie
Graham. All-Valley end, will be
back again as will be Bill Campbell,
tackle. Roy Gilbert, second string
last year, and Robert Austin, of the
1941 B squad, are the most likely
looking for the center spot. Gilbert
Mendez, second string running
guard from last year, has turned
up for practice. d. j. Rush, also
from the second team, will help at
| tackle.
The Wildcats will be able to get
the jump on the Ell Centre Spartans,
