tBY ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Allied and Japanese warships are fighting to the death today in a mammoth five day-old battle in the Coral Sea northeast of Australia. American, British and Australian gunners have already sunk or crip- pied at least 13 enemy warships.
 Headquarters of the United Ma tions announced that nine Jap warships have been sunk, including an aircraft carrier, two cruisers, two destroyers and four gunboats and four other enemy warships have been badly damaged; a non-combat vessel has been sunk and two oth- CTS damaged in the fateful struggle. The epic fight, still raging, ap- pears from all accounts to be the greatest naval battle in this World War and also the biggest naval en- gagement in all American history
 Rivals Jutland
 It is thought it rivals the mag nitude of the historic battle of Jut- land which was fought on May 31, 1916 between the British and German Grand Fleets.
 Tokyo Imperial Headquarters claim toll of five United Nations warships, including the sinking of a United States battleship of the 32.O0O ten California class, the 33,- 900 ton California class, the 33,000 900 ton aircraft carrier Saratoga and the l9000 ton carrier Yorktown.
 Admiralty Denies
 In addition, Tokyo asserted that the Oritis, battleship of the 30,- 900 ton Warspite type has been heavily damaged and perhaps sunk and an Australian cruiser of the 10000 ton Canberra type has been damaged, and may have gone down. In London, the Admiralty quickly denied that the Warspite or any other British battleship has been sunk or damaged in the Coral Sea

Scottish ballad into national
American hit and moved into the

A stranger case was that of Ella
Fitzgerald. She appeared in a Har-

The late Chick Webb saw her, liked
her and signed her up. She's the
gal who made the country "A Tis-

ago. When Webb died she inherited
his orchestra.
1t isn't always that simple, how

he gave up his Job as vocalist with

And then one day he got a tip

only $50 and was looking for a job.

her she was singing in the Stork
Club. Bob was a little hesitant
about asking her TO join his band.
He was playing in g Brooklyn dance
hall. but the agent who took him
around to meet Dottie treasured
him.
Dottie could hardly show to good
advantage in the Stork Club. where
two bands customarily play the same
tempo all night. one band relieving
the other a man at time so that
the customers have a new band
PLAYING for them without realizing
It unless they watch the quiet
shifting.
The agent was right. Dottie gave
her notice that night and went to
Brooklyn.
Glenn Miller realized deeply the
value of a good vocalist when Marion
Hutton married Jack Phflbin, man
ager of the Johnnie Long and Bob
Chester bands, a couple of years
ago and decided TO have a baby.
There was a popular outcry for
Marion's return, and eventually she
did come back.
Some Hate to Leave.
Ozzie Nelson not only recognized
the value of Harriet Hilliard. his
canary, but made her his wife.
Larry Clinton and Bea Vain
jumped into prominence with my
Reverie," taken straight from the
classics. But Larry prefers song
writing and arrangement to band
leading and SO they parted. 'Dipsy
Doodle" is one of Larry's.
Sometimes a canary likes a band
so well she hates to leave even
though she can do better elsewhere.
Mary Ann Mercer sang for four
years with Mitchell Ayres' band and
turned down offers that came in
regularly Finally she left to go on
a big radio show, only because the
boys in the band told her she was
foolish to turn down such swell
chance
Alvino Ray, who played the elec-
trio guitar with Horace Heidt's band
fell in love with Louise King, one of
Horace's four canaries, the King
Sisters. Alvino married Louise
and her three sisters joined her and
Alvino. They're making quite a hit
1t was a break for all of them.
