Oldest Navy Aircraft Carrier Lost To Japs
33,OOOTOn U. s. s. Lexington Hit By Bombs in Coral Sea Fight Blew Up Like Firecracker, Several
 Hours After Being Struck
By WILLIAM F. THREE United Press Stan COrrespOnden

Aboard U. s. Cruiser !n Southwest Pacific, May 10. (Delayed)-(UP)- The U. s. navy's oldest aircraft carrier. the 33,000-ton U. s. s. Lex ington, was wounded by enemy bombs in the battle of the Coral Sea and several hours later blew up like Fourth of July firecracker.
 The end came when flames from leaking gasoline lines reached her torpedo lockers, detonating them with mighty roar.
 Most of the great ships persona mel, however, had been safely re- moved 8 few minutes before the blast.
 Naval officers considered her loss light price to pay for the deStruc- tion of 23-perhaps 24-Japanese warships in the Coral Sea engage ment, which was the first big clash between U, s. and Japanese naval and air forces.
 A few minutes after her torpedoes went off. the Lexington heeled over and slipped from sight beneath the blue waters. The blast was so ter rife that destroyers lingering near by after aiding in the rescue of the carriers crew were almost lifted from the water.
 (This delayed dispatch revealing loss of the Lexington was released for publication by the Navy Depart ment today simultaneously with is- suance of Navy Department com- munique on the Coral Sea engage ment, which ragged from May 4 to 90
 In the melee of air action which finally sent remnants of the Jap- anese task force fleeing from the wreck-strewn scene of battle, the Lexington, launched in 1925 and commissioned in December, 1927, and played brilliant part.

SIX GALLONS OF
 GAS PERMITTED

Washington, June l2-(UP)--East coast motorists can buy six instead of three gallons of gasoline between June IS and July lB, to tide them over 8 two-week extension Of the temporary ratloning system.
 The OfIlce of Price Administra- tion, announcing last night the doubling of the gasoline dole, said the permanent rationing plan would go into effect July l5-instead of July as originally planned.
 The delay in institating the more detailed regulations" was caused by the need to train registrars and sup- ply local rationing boards with in- structibns and materials, the OPA announced.
 Under the extension plan, holders of "A" and "B" cards can get double amounts of gasoline for their re- maining units, and motorists who have used up all their units by June IS can apply for extra raticns. Such supplemental amounts, however, will be only for gasoline needed between July 1 and July IS. since present cards were to last until the end Of June.
 The unit value of motorcycle and three wheeled vehicles also was doubled ~fgela l.a 70 2.A galloEis.

Mystery Man, Col. Britton,

Real Fighting On All Fronts Is
 Being Waged With Soviets, Nazis
Axis Losing Many Men
 But Are Smashing All Ahead of Them
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS Limited Press F0reiRn Editor'


 The Avis seized the initiative at heavy cost in Libya and Russia to- day in an effort to get Hitler's 1942 offensives moving before the United Nations can establish their prom ised second. front in Europe.
 Moscow dispatches acknowledged a grave situation on key fighting fronts in Russia despite an estim- ated 60,000 Axis casualties-and no gain-in attacks on the Crimean naval base of Sevastopol.' The threat to Sevastopol and the enemy attacks on the Kharkov front were obviously increasing and both were directed toward preparing the way for the Germans long g-heralded major offensive through the Ukraine toward the Caucasus oil fields.
 Whether that offensive can be de- veloped on the vast scale that is essential to achieve Hitler's goal of fresh oil supplies remains to be seen but front line dispatches to Mocow made 1t clear that the real crisis on the Kharkov front is yet to come. Meantime, the Russian cor respondents reported that a heavy toll was being taken of the Ger mans in the Ukraine on the Kalinin front northwest of Moscow and south of Leningrad.
 Tn Libya, the Germans had greatly improved their position as the result of capture of the British Free French strongpoint of Bir Hacheim, southwest of Tobruk, and had advanced some IS miles north east to Sir Fl Harmat
 British Anchor Destroyed
 Although fighting continued over B wide sector and included Allied stabs at the enemy's rear lines, the development was that Nazi Col. Gen. Erwin Rommel had been able to destroy the British anchor point on the southern sec- or of the defense line and then con- centrate his strength in a triangle aimed at Knightsbridge, South of rObruk.
 That greatly alleviated his supply iifflculties and created a threat hat the British and French would oe fianked from the south unless they can strike back powerfully.

Allied General Staffs Prepare Second Front
Only Very Few Men in Washington London Moscow Know When or Even How, Blow Will Fall
 Upon Nazi Ruled Nations
By EDWARD W. BEATTIE

(Unlge0 FreSS StaM COEteSpOm0emtD
 London, June 12.-(UP)-Allied general staff are on contact on "the urgent problem of creating 8 second front in Europe in l942," it was un- derstood today.
 Only 8 few men in Washington, London and Moscow know when, or even how, the blow will fall under the agreements reached by Great Britain and the United States with Russia.
 The British man in the street, the Russian, interpreted the identic second front announcements here and at Washington at their face value. He expected an actual land fighting front in western Europe this summer by an invasion of the Con- tinent.
 More conservative quarters, espe- cially those who knew the tremen- dous problems involved, held that Britain, the United States and Rus Sia might already have agreed that formation of such a front immedi- ately was impossible; that the Al- lied contribution would be limited to bombing attacks of growing ferocity and commando raids on an increasing scale along 1000 miles of the Atlantic coast.
 This Is the view held generally by well informed, if unoflcial, opinion in London. This opinion is that 1t is almost fantastic to ex-

  GERMANY IS. FACING CRISIS IN MAN POWER Moment Second Front Is Begun, Huge Secret Army Rises All Over Europe
BY JOHN A. PARRIS Copyright, l942, by nUited Press)

NNvPJAA6NS AO%~S " uCAVSU AAScSl
 London, June 12. - (UP) - Colonel V. Britton," the mystery man who for months has organized and directed the intrepid patriot resist ance to the Germans in oc- cupied territory, said today that a vast underground army was now capable of carrying out a general up- rising if and when the United Na- tions established a second front.
 Millions of persons in occupied countries who form the w" Army are ready to strike" he said. "They await only my call, which hope will not be long. Europe is begir1- ming to realize that delivera1ce is at hand"
 Throughout Europe, he continued in the first interview he ever has given, the V Army is already af- fecting .Hitler's war effort by blow ing up munitions dumps, wrecking troops and supply columns and har- assing. occupation troops.
 "Right now Germany is facing Q major crisis in man power, and production" he said, land the V Army's contribution has been abso- lutely vital. Tn fact, the V Army created this crisis"
 Royal Air Force raids and Com mando thrusts, and Germany's fail- ure against the Russians, has stin- ulated the V army.
 But we do not rely on that" he said. "A more important fact is that the growing Allied aggression is increasing the V army not only in occupied countries but in Ger many and Italy.
 Rumble Heard in Germany <
 '"The murmur of the people is now heard in Germany. The Nazis < try to drown it with their rife squads. But it will'g louder until even Hitler can hear 1t. And that will be the end"
 Would reprisals such as those which followed the killing of Hang man Reinhard Heydrich dalnpen the V army's enthusiasm?
 No" he replied. "They will have the opposite effect. They will only increase the determination of the V army to win this war and end a regime so atrocious.
 "The Nazis are going in vicious circle. They use terror to destroy resistance because it is the only way they know. But in fact their terror only increases resistance and this the Naz meets With more terror. So it goes. There is but one end to this frightful progression that is the destruction of the madman who began it. Nazi terrorism is not based on strength. It is based on fear, weak ness and spiritual bankruptcy. Such always fails"
 Just year ago Britton made his first appeal by radio to people in occupied countries to start getting ready for the day when they could rose and overthrow Hitler.
 '"They answered immediately and got down to the job of doing things which would help win the war. They have done 8 hundred things we have asked them.
 Today can tell you that the po- of my army are great Indeed. The spirit of the v army
