Flames were shooting straight up
and seemed mountainous.
Flaming oil spread out over a
wide area under steady wind. .
We all dashed outside. I could hear
cries in the water which learned
later was badly infested with bar
racuda. Several boats put out but
the flames held them back.
Several of the crewmen from the
stricken vessel who jumped imme-
diately after the attack managed
to reach shore safely. Just then I
noticed a second ship about 100
yards e.way. also on fire. Then there
came a stream of tracer bullets
from the dark ocean.
"We figured there were 10 or IS
shots, apparently aimed at the re-
finery-probably 81 or A nm. shells.
However, no fires were started.
Just as this excitement was subsid-
ing-it was now about two hours
later and flames on the water were
still spreading-we heard another
explosion upshore and learned later
an American tanker was torpedoed
at her pier. A hole was blasted all
the way through one bunker but it
was empty and did not catch fire."
Mr.. White reported he was
"bowled out of bed" by the attack
and that when he looked out the
harbor was ablaze like a raging
forest fire right in your own front

He began shooting pictures while
the blaze f1ared high over the water

decks of a ship were a mass Of
flames and then he noticed what
appeared to be red flares passing

LONDON, Feb. l7.-While the

western flank of Suez. maneuvered
toward what appeared likely to be
another major battle, the portent
of a coming German storm through
Turkey on the other flank appeared
in reports reaching London yester-
day.
From Turkey, more on guard now
than ever, came travellers accounts
saying the Germans in Bulgaria.

Private reports reaching London
mentioned increasing concentra-
tions not only Of fighters and bomber
aircraft in Nazi-held Southeastern
Europe, but also of air troop trans
ports and Stukas.
The same sources said the Italians
were building at Genoa two huge
mercantile submarines similar to
the German Deutschland, which
visited the United States during
World War I, possibly with the hope
of establishing trade with the Far
East If the Suez Canal can be seized.
British Also Active.
Available clues to Hitlers plans
indicated that the Germans might
intend merely to hold their line in
North and Central Russia while CO.
ordinating a drive through Turkey
with an attack on the south Russian
front toward the Caucasus.
The British also were actively

Prime Minister Churchill admitted
British difficulties in that area Sum-
day, however, when he said ''the

that a determined effort is being

Congress Pensions
Compromise Offered
By Senator Mead
Boek Payments and
Higher Age Limits
Among Proposals g.

A compromise plan to avoid COM
plete repeal of the law making
members of Congress eligible for
retirement pay was ready to be
offered today by Senator Mead,
Democrat, of New York. but de-
mands for outright repeal continued
and the House Civil Service Com
mittee set public hearings on
repeal plan for 10 am. Thursday.
The Meade compromise bill would
dodo three things:
Require elected officials to make
back payments to the retirement
fund for five years to become eligible,
which was voted down when Senator
Byrd, Democrat. of Virginia ad-
vocated it last month.
Raise the retirement age limit for
elected officials from the optional
age limits of IS or 81 to 65 years.
Require an elected official to
choose between the Federal or State
system, II they come from States
having a similar system.
MalOney Asks Repeal.
The latest plea for outright repeal
was made on the floor today by SEN
ator Maloney, Democrat, of Con-
necticut.
Defending the principle OF in
Guiding members of Congress in the
system along with other of1icials,
Senator Maloney said he had no
apologies to offer for having sup
ported it and still thinks it was JUS
tifiable.
Nevertheless, he appealed to his
colleagues to vote unanimously for
its repeal because many people have
temporarily lost faith in Congress
because Of erroneous impressions
that have been obtained about the
pension bill.
1T matters not at all. now. that
no special tavoritism was granted to
members of Congress under the leg
islation-or that much of what has
been printed about it has been in
error" he said.
All that matters, 1t seems to me,
Is that many people in the country
have temporarily lost faith in the
Congress-and that that faith must
be quickly restored"
Adding that Congress had 'tem-
porarily lost some of its prestige
and influence" Senator Maloney
said that members of Congress, like
Caesars wife, should be completely
above suspicion"
Congress" he said, must be
above suspicion If democracy is to
properly function and the war effort
efficiently carried on, and while I
believe that majority of the people
OF the country would now look with
favor upon this legislation, there are
just enough people who look upon it
with disfavor, to make 1t tremend-
ously important that we pass repeal
legislation"
1t was reported earlier at the Civil
Service Commission that some"
members of Congress already have
exercised their right" to come under
the act which makes them eligible
for benefits after five years service.
There was no official estimate as
to the number who already have
taken advantage of the law. It was
added that considerable number"
had made inquiries as to costs and
benefits. A representative of the
retirement division has been sta
toned in the House Civil Service
Committee room to advise members
on the legislation, and other in
quiries are coming into the division

the United States Information
Service to provide visitors with one
central place to make inquiry about
Government activities.
The committee was told that ar
rangements had been made to use
public building funds to erect
temporary information Office on the
park area in front Of the Commerce
Building on Pennsylvania avenue.
The o. G. r. found, however, it
would need s285 900 additional to
equip and employ the personnel
for the new information office. No
direct appropriation of this amount
was requested, but the committee
was asked to remove the limitation
on the amount the President could
allocate from his funds. The COM
mittee refused to lift the limitation.
Shifts Of Employees Urged.
Senator Tydings commenting on
the revelation that all but eight gov
ernment agencies have been listed
at the Civil Service Commission as
devoted in whole or in part to de-
fense work, said:
~I believe there are more than
eight that are remote from the de-
fense program. This does not mean
they should be abolished, but that
a great many of their employees
could be assigned to more urgent
defense activities for the time be-
ing"
The Audit and Control Commit
tee, to which his resolution was re-
ferred to fix the cost Of the inquiry,
Is believed to be ready to report
back to the Senate today. The Ap-
propriations Committee, which
would conduct the inquiry, had
previously approved it unanimously
"I am hoping to clear the decks
for action right away and get start
ed" said Senator Tydings. THE
committee will not be antagonistic
but wants to be helpful and will
appreciate all the information pos
sible from all agencies.
eff this can be obtained great
deal of real good should result from
this move, the ramifcations o1
which mean saving money and
shortening the war"

NEW YORK, Feb. l7.-An Amer
ican patrol bomber, screened by a
driving rainstorm. pounced on an
unwary enemy submarine and so
accurately bombed it that its loss
was considered most probable. 1t
was announced yesterday by the
Army Air Force.
Corpl. John j. Duffy. 81, Of Phila-
delphia, engineer member of the
twin-engined aircraft's crew, said
the submarine evidently didn't ex-
pect anybody out on such a bad day
and was trying to make speed on
the surface"
Letters Of commendation awarded

Island, signed by Brig. Gen. Arnold
N. Krogstad, Ist Air Force COM
mander, said the bomber sighted q
lifeboat with survivors Of the
steamship China Arrow on an un-
specified date and, apparently later
sighted a submarine awash and at
tackled it. The awards were pre-
sented by 1t. Gen. Hugh A. Drum
commanding the 1st Army.
CThe Navy announced Febru-
ary that the 8;403-to China
Arrow was torpedoed and sunk

Pvt. Donald J. Raher of Indiana
Pa, 21-year-old bombardier, told
this story:
II didn't have much time tt

me to open the bomb bay and te
arm the bombs.

construction. In January OF this
year, he said, construction awards
were made for more than TOO ships.
I'VE are ready to let contracts for
everything that can possibly be put
in the yards" the admiral added, in
Guiding some 20 ships that we in
tend to have as transports" He did
not explain for what service the
transports were intended.
Many foreign ships seized in
American ports already have been
put into service for the United
States, Admiral Land said, but
others in the seized class ought to

Asked by Chairman Cannon
whether the Normandie could be
salvaged, Admiral Land replied:
IT think so far as salvaging the
Normandie is concerned. the answer
is in the Affirmative. She has to be
moved"
Ship Firms Cooperating.
In the shipbuilding effort, the ad-
miral asserted, I'VE have had the
full cooperation Of the shipbuilders'
and "I think we have the heads OF
the unions cooperating so that they
are really making honest-to-good-
ness efforts to eliminate" subversive
elements among crews.
Last year, he said, strikes cost
us between Z and IL ships" and
the recent welders' strike on the
West Coast definitely delayed the
deliveries of ships in this new
construction" A new strike threat
ened for February IL failed to de-
velop, he added.
Difficulty has been encountered, he
added, in obtaining steel plates. jan
uary deliveries amounted to only
$4,000 tons of an allocated total
of 225, 900.
Admiral Land said the tanker
program would give the United
States "the best and biggest tanker
fleet in the world at the end of
1913" He was convinced, he said,
that commanders of Nazi subma-

Since more tankers than cargo

explained, more tankers are being
torpedoed, because the coastal op-
