SAN FRANCISCO, March "A
girl from Nashville, over Honolulu

the sky by an invading plane.
She is blond, blue-eyed Miss Cor

just returned from Hawaii.
Il was coming in for q landing
and my student had the stick" she
related.
Then I saw this plane coming
closer, in violation of the air trsffic
rules. I waited for it to give way
for me and then I jerked the stick
out of the students hand and pulled
the plane up.
"As landed. the student-a man
said when an I gonig to solo?'
Not today, brother!' I replied.
Il had seen the insignia on the
Jap plane-the red suns along the
fuselage. But I still couldn't be-

Pearl Harbor and decided it was

AS she ran the plane across the
landing runway, the machine gun

Central Pacific:
In the course of recent naval
operations west of the Gilbert
Islands, task force of the Pacific
Fleet consisting of an aircraft
carrier, cruisers and destroyers.
was attacked by 18 heavy bombers
of the enemy operating in two
groups of nine each.
These attacks occurred in the
late afternoon and were timed
about one-half hour apart.
The Japanese formations were
closely and vigorously engaged by
our carrier fighter planes and by
anti-aircraft fire from the ships
Of our task force.
Only three enemy planes Of the
first formation reached their
bomb release point over the air
craft carrier which avoided all
bomb hits by split-second ma
neuvering.
The leading bomber of this
group attempted a crash landing
on the carrier and was shot down
by heavy close-range anti-air-
craft fire when barely 100 yards
from its objective.
In the second attack. only five
bombers of the enemy formation
reached the release point. In
this instance the salvc OF enemy
bombs was closer to the carrier
than in the first attack. but again
no hits were obtained.
Sixteen of the 18 attacking
enemy bombers were shot down
In this action. There was no
damage to our surface forces. 1t.
d. g. Edward H. O'Hare, U. S. N.
fighter pilot, personally accounted
for six bombers of the enemy.
In the two attacks, only two of
our fighter planes were lost. The
pilot of one was recovered.
The next of kin of the lost
pilot has been notified.
There is nothing to report from

United Nations Hold
Bulk Of Known Wheat
Surplus in World
1912 U. S. Crop Estimated
At 10000, 900 Bushels
In Excess of Needs
By tn. Associated Press.

By tn. Associated Press.
The United Nations hold about
1,271 900 900 bushels of the worlds
known wheat surplus of ,524 ,000, 900
bushels, the Agriculture Department
reported today.
The remaining 253,000,000 bushels
are held by a Western Hemisphere
neutral, Argentina.
The United Nation surplus is
about 210000, ,00e bushels larger than
year ago.
The surpluses, representing ex-
pected holdings when the 1912 crop
starts moving to market, were di-
vided as follows:
United States. 64O,000.000 bushels;
Canada, 486 100000, and Australia,
145 900, 900.
Due to war censorship. the de-
partment said. no figures were avail
able on wheat supplies in Russia
and China, areas of large produc-
ton. or on the supply situation in
German-dominated Europe. which
normally imports grain for its food
requirements. Japan is likewise
a deficit area.
The United States has prospects
for 1912 wheat crop of at least
l00,000000 bushels in excess Of It's
requirements. Large quantities Of
American and Canadian wheat may
be sent to Russia to help that nation
meet production losses in the i'm
portant Ukraine producing area now
held by Germany.
The department said little was
known about wheat crop prospects
in Europe, except that seeding OF
winter wheat last fall was less ex-
tensive than intended due to un-
favorable weather conditions. Ef-
forts are being made. it said. by the
European governments to expand

This preparation makes the ad-

Axis Admits laramie
Attack Knocked Out
Batt|eship IS Months
Littorio Mentioned in
Rodio Report; z Others
Were Lost for d Months
3, the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July l3-The Axis
acknowledged last night that one
Italian battleship, apparently the
speedy, 35,O00-ton Iittorio. was
knocked out for l8 months and two
others were out of action for -four
months as a result of the smashing
Raj attack on the Italian naval
base of Taranto on the night OF
November Hip, 1910.
The Berlin radio broadcast a
Rome dispatch which quoted com
petent Italian quarters" as making
the admission while at the same
time declaring the Italian navy has
been extremely active and will
hereafter continue to dominate the
Mediterranean"
These Italian quarters, the broad
cast declared, pointed out that
only three large battleships were
hit in the Taranto raid, in which
the British reported those and other
naval units were struck.
Two of these battleships were in
service again after four months and
the third one after Is months, al
though the Littorio was hit by two
torpedoes." the radio announced.
This was the only reference to the
Littorio by name. The implication
seemed to be that it was the Lit
torio which was out for Is months.
British Claims
After the Taranto raid, the Brit
ish Admiralty announced that one
battleship of the new Littorio class
was left badly down by the bows
with her forecastle under water and
a heavy list; another battleship of
the 23,622-ton Conte di Cavour
class was beached with her stern up
and her turret under water while
a second battleship of the latter
class was probably severely dam
aged.
There are only two ships of the
Littorio class now reported in COM
mission-the Littorio herself and
the Vittorio Veneto. Two others
have been reported under construc-
ton
Little has been heard of the
Littorio since the laramie raid.
After the battle of Matapan in
March, 1941, it was at first re-
ported by the British that the Lit
torio was heavily damaged, but
four months later officers in Alex
sndria said the Vittorio Veneto was
undergoing repairs from the bat
tie of Matapan, indicating the Lit
torio was not in the battle and
probably was still under repairs.
Out Until Recently.
Thus, if the Axis admission is
correct, the Littorio did not play
any role in the war from Taranto
until she came under the bombs
of United States planes in their
first big action over the Mediter-
ranean last month. The United
States War Department reported
that a number of hits were scored
on the Littorio and the Conte di
Cavour.
The italian quarters quoted by
the radio said the Italian Navy
has been employed to much
greater extent than is usually as
sumed" They said the Vittorio
Veneto cruised 15,073 nautical miles
in the first years of the war
The Fascistst said further that
Mussolini's navy had lost "only
seven of 10 cruisers it had in serv-
ice in 1910"
