ANKARA, June 15.-Twenty-one
United States airmen whose bombers
made forced landings in Turkey
after reported raids on German-held
Black Sea bases (and possibly Ru-
manian oil flelds) gave al account
of their sensational flight yesterday
to United States Ambassador Lau-
renee A. Steinhardt.
The Ambassador interviewed the
eirmen, who have been interned by
the Turkish government, and sup
piled them with money, drinks and
cigarettes.
Both American and British au-
thorities here refused any state
ment concerning the flight by the
Americans.
The airmen expressed apprecia-
ton at the treatment they were re-
ceiving from the Turkish govern
ment. 1t was understood they prob
ably would be allowed out of intern
ment on parole soon.
The Americans were in four
bombers, each carrying a crew of
seven. Some were reported
wounded.
The planes were forced down last
Friday, week after the United
States declared war on Rumania.
I, Officially, all information was
lacking here on why the craft were
flying over Turkish territory, where
they came from or where they were
going.
Reports from Turkey to London
said the planes were believed to have
been used in attacks on Odessa and
Nikolaev, German-occupied Russian
Black Sea ports. Still another re-
port said they also bombed the
nearby Rumanian oil fields.
In its first wild furry of contra
dieting reports on the forced land
ings, the German radio said the
bombers had been chased across the
Turkish border from the Sevastopol
front, indicating they might have
taken part in the continuing battle
for that Soviet Black Sea naval base.

The depart ment said many
wounded American and Philippine
soldiers were evacuated Dec. 81
from Manila aboard a converted
hospital ship and are now en- route
TO Australia.
1t said also a small Japanese
landing party had been able TO
effect a beachhead at Jolo in the
sulu archipelago.
This island, which is inhabited
BY the fierce Moro natives, lies
between the southern Philippines
and Borneo.
Text of the war department
communique No. Al, based on re-
ports up to $50 a. m. (EST) Fri
day, follows:
"I-Philippine Theater: Advanced
elements Of japanese troops

cd American and Filipino soldiers
were evacuated from the Manila
area on Dec. 81, 1871. and are now
en- route to Australia
LINES READJUSTED
The tactical situation in the
vicinity of Manila necessitated
radical readjustment Of the lines
held by American and Philippine
troops and consolidation Of defense
forces north Of Manila
This maneuver was successfully
accomplished in the face of strong
enemy opposition. The consequent
shortening of our lines necessarily
uncovered the road to Manila and
made possible the japanese en-
trance into the city. As II had
been previously declared an open
city. no close defense within the
environs Of the city was possible.
The los Of Manila, while
serious, has not lessened the
resistance to the Japanese at
tacks. American and Philip
pine troops are occupying
strong position north of the
city and are holding the forti-
fled island Of Corregidor and
the other defenses Of Manila
bay effectively. preventing the
uss Of this harbor by the
enemy.
During the past - hours there
has been heavy fighting on the
ground with repeated enemy at
tscks from the north. japanese
air activity Is somewhat less IN
intensity than for several days.

force was effected al Jolo IN the

NEW ORLEANS, July 16-The
Cabildo where the Louisiana Pur-
chase was effected, yesterday be-
came the latest casualty in the
financial deadlock that developed
in a power struggle between Gov
Sam H. Jones and former allies of
the late Huey P. Long.
The doors of the ancient Spanish
built seat of government of a by
gone century, open continuously
since 1895 swung shut following veto
of $4,000 appropriation to keep
the museum open.
Gov Jones vetoed the appropria- :
ton along with that of Charity
Hospital here, one of the world S
largest, and many other items after
the legislature, which adjourned
last week, left budget S22,000000
out of balance.
The Governments request for a
State sales tax to meet the deficit
was defeated in the Senate by a
bloc working closely with Mayor
Robert S. Maestri of New Orleans,
standard-bearer of the old Long
forces struggling to regain power.
AS Stanley c. Arthur, director
attached closing sign to the old
iron gates of the Cabildo, the Huey
P. Long Memorial Home here also
closed, together with many other
charitable, medical and other State
institutions.
Gov. Jones defeated the old Long
machine in 1910, and for a time
formed a coalition with the Maestri
forces of New Orleans. The coali-
ton was scrapped more than year

McCarran Plans Hearings
On D. {. Tax Exemptions

Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee is planning to
begin hearings on legislation to halt
restoration of educational, religious
and charitable institutions to the
tax rolls in the District of Columbia.
In message to Committee Coun-
sci R. F. Camalier yesterday, Sena-
tor McCarran, who is in the West,
said that he would take this matter
up on his return to Washington
Under his direction a study of the
situation already has been made,
showing that many such institu-
tions had been placed on taxable
status.
Mr.. Camalier has been working on
possible legislation with District
officials A bill to re-establish ex-
emption rights for these institutions
is being drafted, it is understood.
