BY tt, Associated Press.
MIAMI. Fla. June 13.-New ideas
(which give promise of success" In
combating submarines will be put
in effect in sea area Of $4,000
miles shortly, Admiral ]. L. Kauf1-
man said here today.
I'VE are moving into new plant
in Miami that will enable us to re-
produce on greatly enlarged charts
and boards a very full picture of
the war situation in this area" the
veteran anti-submarine expert said.
This will show at all times the
reported movements OF enemy sub
marines and the disposition OF our
air and surface craft combating
them. together with the movements
of merchant vessels within the area
Air and surface officers will be
continuously on watch and the Sit
uation throughout the Gulf sea
frontier will be known to us from
minute to minute"
Admiral Kaufman said the public

open mind on the subject and are
always ready to listen to all con-
structive suggestions"

By the Associated Press.
LIVERMORE, Calf. June
13.-They had a fire sale on
ice cream as the aircraft car
rier Lexington lay stricken in
the Coral Sea battle.
After the Japs attacked
without causing much damage.
1t. Frank Gill related today,
creWmen assembled as usual in
the ships store to buy ice
cream cones.
Presently, however, fire
from broken gasoline lines
flared up. The storekeeper
started offering double e-header
cones for a nickel.
When it became apparent
that the ship would have to be
abandoned, the Storekeeper
started giving ice cream away.
Some of the boys filled their
tin helmets, and gobbled the
cream as they made their way
to the deck and prepared to go
over the side.

vised the commission that this suit
stays the commission's order until
the court has had opportunity to
pass on the matter. Therefore, my
advice to the taxi operators and the
public would be to follow the old
rate until the court has taken some
action.
Can't Have Conflicting Orders.
1T is obvious that we can't have
conflicting orders in force at the
same time. and If the position OF the
corporation counsel is correct. and II
some operators adopt the new rate
schedule before the court acts, then
some drivers may be making charges
different from those under the old
order, which would add confusion
to the situation"
He added there was doubt as to
whether the commission could en-
force the new rate order until the
court acts, in view Of the ruling by
Mr. Keech.
The old rate order provides for
20-40-60- -80-cent system Of charges
for the four zones, though that has
been modified by a temporary COM
mission order permitting a 30-cen.

zone
The new rate order establishes
subzone system. though retaining
generally the old four zones. with
some changes in boundaries, notably
with the result of reducing the size

high over us. Far behind it the
sleeve OF a black cloth target flut-
tered.
The entire fleet opened fire on
the sleeve-we fired our utility
anti-aircraft guns, and the cruisers
and destroyers fired everything
they had, or so it seemed But this
gunnery was difficult. We were
moving through a 3O-knot wind
that kicked up sea and had us
rolling and pitching. The target
towing plane passed back and forth
several times and then went back
to land. We didn't learn the re-
suits Of our shooting-if any.
Parachute Flare Targets.
Next the heavy guns on the Lex
ington fired parachute flares ahead
of us. AS they drifted slowly to-
ward the water smaller anti-air-
craft batteries with which the big
ship briStled cut loose against the
parachute flares. There were sew
eral caliberS of these smaller guns.
but all of them fired rapidly with
pounding barks that hit you be-
fore you've recovered from the
shock OF the preceding discharges.
The gunners were good. The para
chutes and flares were torn to bits.
Later on I was to see these same
live
gets in which the security OF the
Lexington and their own lives hung
in the balance. They we're just as
good then. too. even though they
we're being raked by machine-gun
fire and gun crews were decimated
by bomb splinters.
Finally the fleets planes came
over. First to arrive were the
little. stubby. square wing-tipped
fighters. They came in formations
that broke apart into pairs. The
pairs took turns diving at another
towed target. The bursts of ma
chine-gun fire from aloft reminded
me of the sound of air battles /
had witnessed day after day in
the hectic days of the battle Of
Britain.
A detail of men. meanwhile, had

of a squadron of dive bombers that
aimed small smoke bombs at the
sled. The bombs burst with flash
and puff of smoke when they struck
the water. These pilots, too, were
very good.
Have you ever wondered how
planes land on a carrier? I had.
First comes the sound Of a gong
that warns plane handling crews,
fire fighting crews and medical crews

who we're lounging on deck in chairs,

The crews whip on variously COL

colors denote the specific jobs
they do.

a scout squadron pilot explained as
the Lexington heeled over turning
from her former course and plow-
ing directly into the teeth of a
strong wind.
IT'S this way" the pilot said.
"On land our planes would alight
at say so miles an hour. If there
was no wind and the carrier was

Senator Chavez Appeals
For Racial Tolerance

Rs tht ASSOCIATED PreSs.
ALBUQUERQUE, June 13.-Sena-
tor Chavez Of New Mexico called
on the League for United Latin
American Citizens tonight to take
the lead "in putting a stop to racial
intolerance in our country"
The time is opportune," he as
serted.
Our Nation is involved in tre-
mendous war for existence and in
this titanic struggle most of the
Latin American Nations are allied
with us. We are all brothers in
the fight for the four freedoms. How
can equality Of race and equality
of opportunity be denied to us with
in the United States?"
Senator Chavez, himself of an
cient Spanish lineage. in an address
before the national convention BAN
quet of the Lulac organization, en-
phasized particularly what he
characterized as shocking discrimi-
nation against the Spanish-Ameri-
can of the southwest.

Generally speaking. the same
principle Of price for distances Is
followed in the new system as in the
old rate order.
The taxicaa drivers union con-
tends in the suit that the new rste
order would result in substantial
reduction in the earnings Of the
drivers and argued there were other
flaws in the commissions plan,
among which the question was
raised as to the commissions right
to fix rate for trips between the
District and the Washington Ma
tional Airport across the Potomac.
The boundary of the District stop
at the historic but constantly chang
ing high-water mark on the Vtr-
ginia shore. Part of the airport fs
agreed to be within this boundary.
Another bit of confusion was
added to the picture yesterday when
the PUG reversed its recent order
establishing a 60-cent fare between
Washington's zone l and the new
Arlington County Army and Navy
Buildings and raised the charge to
80 cents.
When the commission on June 9
issued its temporary 60-cent rate
for this trip, questions were raised
as to whether it had jurisdiction
since the buildings are beyond any
highWater mark of the Potomac,
but Mr.. Hankin insisted that If they
were found beyond the boundaries
Of the District the commission still
had control since it could control
the operations of taxicabs licensed
by the District.
The commission yesterday. while
raising the fare between zone and
the War and Navy Buildings from
so to 80 cents, stated what should
be the fares between those buildings
and various subzones In Washington
under the new taxi rate order. The
charges range from 80 cents TO
81 40.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Con-

1t developed today that the
board has had mushroom growth

The latest figures available show
that this economic appendix to the
vast bureaucratic setup in Wash

that the number is growing. day

personnel eventually will comprise
not less than 5000.

Make TODAY
A Patriotic
Christmas
BY IDA JEAN KAN

CHRISTMAS HAS a mystic
quality even in wartime that
lets us believe again-and we
see more clearly. BY the light
of the same stars that were
shining 1000 years ago, we can
discern that the impossible has
happened many times and that
some divine accolade of courage
lets a man go beyond his human
limits.
If that lad at Guadalcanal had
reasoned it out coolly, he would
have known he could not stop
200 Japanese soldiers. But he
kept stopping them as they
came.
But what about us here al
home? We keep saying il is
going TO be long war. II will
be unless we throw every ounce
of our energy into the war
effort.
This is a time for the renewal
of faith. We can get this war
over and get our boys back
home. Let's hold fast 10 that
belief-and work.
We are going TO have TO work
much harder. Before long, we
may each have some special job
TO do. But let's not wait! One
thing we can do right now is buy
more bonds. Every stamp and
bond that is bought brings the
end of the war a little closer.
We have five more shopDing
days in which TO make this the
biggest bond-buying month of
the year.
This is Red, White and Blue
Christmas!
