 When the evidence finally is com- pieted it will be submitted to a grand jury together with other in- formation obtained during inquiries the past two days by state authorl- ties.
 Ore official said that the state in- vestigators already had obtained ev- idence that was enough for presen- tation" to the jury that convened yesterday after State Attorney Gen. eral Robert T. Bushnell promised to expose every person in any way re- sponsible for the tragedy. He also hinted at indictments for man slaughter" against an undetermined number of persons, possibly some public officials.
 One inquiry developed five per- tinent factors. Testimony indicated that: The club was of finder box construction; some doors apparently were locked the club was over crowded: the clubs decorations last were known to have been fire proofed four years ago; some ques- tion of whether electric wiring was installed by qualified expert.
 Witnesses at the inquiry spoke of the fumes which spread through the club immediately after the fire.
 George Hayes said the inside Of the building was like blast fur mace"
 "The flames seemed to feed on fumes" he said, "as if there was gas in the air. The flames be!ched over our heads and all around the room and there was repulsive odor in the air like burning gasoline or tllrpentine."

 Then came the revelation today that the Japanese army and navy were both in action in an attempt to hold down the American and Fili- pino troops,
 On Virgin Islands
 A special dispatch by one YoShi- moto Kanai, a Domei News Agency correspondent with the navy aboard a Japanese warShip," said that the defenders were still holding out in the ViSayan Islands in the vain hope that endorsements would be forthcoming to them from the United States"
 The Visayan Islands are those around the visayan Sea in the cen- tral Philippines.
 The Demei correspondent dis closed that the United States and Philippines forces were resisting in the Islands of Panay, Cebu and Leyti, among others, in addition to the smaller Visayans, taking ad- vantage of the steep mountains"
 The American Filipino maraud- CTS, disseminating reports that American endorsements are forth coming, have been instigating the ignorant natives into resistance against the Japanese and recruit ing men to replenish their gradually diminishing ranks" the correspon- dent complained.
 Many Have Guns
 About half of them are said to be armed with machine guns, rifles, automatic rifles and native swords.
 "They keep canoes and small sail- ing boats patrolling strategic shores to warn them against the appear ance of Imperial forces so they can flee into the jungleS to dodge the Japanese attack.
 But intensified landing opera tionS by the Japanese naval and army forces have been resulting in their gradual decination.
 "The Japanese have experienced only one case of considerable enemy resistance, in landing at LaZi, on Siquidor Island, where the enemy were entrenched behind sand bag barricadeS, prtected by three-fold wire entanglement fences. In this battle the enemy were routed, leav- ing 40 bodies.
 Tn another landing on certain island the Japanese forces learned the bad news that a certain SuZiki, the only Japanese who remained on the island, had bene murdered by American demnants after offer ing heroic resistance with his re- volver.
 Japanese naval forces have SC far destroyed five enemy radio-tele- graph stations and 60 vessels.
 Despite their desperate resistance the enemy forces are being fast driven to annihilation before the steady Japanese punitive opera tions."
 Contact Maintained
 The mention of radio stations made it apparent thatthe American and Filipino forces were in contact with the outside world, probably through Gen. Douglas MacArthur' headquarters in the southwest Pa cific.
 Further, as relations between tht Japanese Army and Navy never have been good, the Tokyo broad. casts seemed to indicate that tht Navy was taking pains to reveal tha' the Army had been unable to com plete the conquestion of the Philip

with hundreds of pounds of fresh
salmon and our minds half taken by
the incredible beauties of the land
sea-airscape, and half by the still
vivid impressions of an abundance
of game fish that has to be seen

There were four of us, in two
planes, including Dave and Pick.
the pilots, and Bill, chief gunnery
officer of our cruiser. Bill was the
completest angler of the foursome,
having fished, man and boy, half
the streams of the globe. But Pick
had done a good deal of fishing,
back home in West Virginia. Dave
and I we're tyros, content to watch
and listen as these Izaak Waltons
discussed the mysteries of flies, dry
and wet, and assorted spinners.
We had flown inland SO miles,
negotiating in 20 minues a trip that
would have cost half dozen stub
born hours by boat and overland
hike. We had followed a tidal
stream up to an inland lake and
landed there on floats. There were
8 or 10 other planes at anchor
when we arrived, for this is favor
ite haunt for Navy pilots, who get
back to this region after gruelling
stretches of Aleutian patrol duty.
Once Was Fish Hatchery.
Dave TAXED gingerly up to the
beach. When he got as near as
he dared, he clambered out of the
cockpit, tied a line to the inshore
float and waded ashore to fasten
the other end to young spruce

to welcome us.
We walked up past a line of ram
shackle wooden buildings to camp
headquarters, where we were to
borrow tackle and equipment. These
buildings were once part OF an
experimental fish hatchery operated
by the Federal Wildlife Service. The
station was abandoned years ago
as too remote and inaccessible to
supply. Now the Navy has taken
it over, put in repairs and fixed
the place up as recreation center
for personnel whose nerves and
bodies get worn to fragile by the
rigors of Arctic warfare.

trout, and got proper directions.
Dave and I decided to go watch Bill
catch silvers.
The spot he had selected was In

narcissuslike, to examine their mir

advanced stage of spawning, and
are wormy and decrepit, kept bump
ing against our boots, and we lit
orally had to kick them away.
The tide was going out and the
silvers weren't biting as well as
usual. We averaged only about one
25-pounder every five minutes. The
silver is great game fish in this
region and puts up fine scrap,
full of intelligence and guile.
AS We fished, we kept a sharp
eye open for Kodiak bears, which
abound in this district and which
are also fond of fresh salmon. Our

the best thing to do if a bear comes

pie of bears and shot at them. The
bullets kept right on going, right
through the bears, and the bears
kept on coming and the men climbed

Pipe Line Deal Completed.
Secretary OF Commerce Jones,
who is also head of the RFC, said
yesterday that the deal for the con-
struction of the pipe line across
Northern Florida has just been COM
pleted. Under the arrangement, the
cost will be less than 100000. The
project includes taking up a sec
ond-hand pipe line il To--0s and
laying it down across Florida.
Mr.. Jones stavemtnu u,----, at a
time when the Senate Commerce
Committee is about to report the
bill calling for the barge canal and
pipe line.
Under terms of the bill, the pipe
line across Florida would cost $1O,-
100000 and it is to be constructed
by the War Department.
Senator Vanderiberg, Republican,
of Michigan, said yesterday there
is no justification for the passage
of the measure at this time, that
it would merely tend to disrupt the
program of the petroleum co-ordi-
nator, a program in which he had
great confidence.
Need for New Authority Denied.
He pointed out that no new au-
thority is required to permit the
construction of the Florida pipeline
Or any other. In July, 1941, Con-
gress passed law giving the Pres
ident authority to construct any
pipeline, anywhere, if it became, in
his opinion, essential and was not
constructed by private industry. He
insisted, too, that ample money had

New Signal Corps Center
Ready Ahead of Schedule

BY the Associated Press.
Weeks ahead of schedule, Camp
Murphy, Fla, new Army Signal
Corps center to be devoted eXclu-
sively to training radio technicians,
will open formally today, simultane-
ously with its first graduation cere-
mony.
Announcing this yesterday the
War Department said many thou
sands of soldiers" would be trained
there.
While the new camp was built at
phenomenal speed by the Army
Engineers, the Signal Corps trained
men in a warehouse and other
temporary quarters nearby in ad-
vance of its completion.
The new camp was named for
the late Col William Herbert Muir
phy of the Signal Corps, pioneer
in developing radio beams for mill
tary aircraft. He was killed in &C
ton last February 3 while serving
as communications specialist for
the United Nations high command
in the Far East.

already been appropriated by Con-
gress for the construction Of any
pipelines that may be needed.
Furthermore, Senator Vandenberg
said. the testimony before the Senate
Commerce Committee, of which he
is member, was emphatic in de-
claring that the proposed barge
canal could not be completed and
put in use until the end of three
years. Not by the widest stretch of
the imagination, he contended,
could this proposed canal be called
an emergency measure.
In the opinion of the Michigan
Senator, Congress has given full
authority to the administration to
go ahead with the construction of
all pipelines and facilities needed to
bring fuel oil and gasoline into any
section of the country. The admin
istration, he believes, is acting on
this authority. The only need for
congressional action would be fail
ure on the part of the administra-
ton to meet the situation, he said.
The pipeline across Northern
Florida, under the plans of the Of
flee of Petroleum Co-ordinator, is to
be completed in 120 days. The pipe
line from Texas to Illinois is ex-

The race with winter to meet the
fuel oil heating needs of the people
OF the East is on in earnest, with
the Office of Petroleum Co-ordina-
tor. headed by Secretary of the In
terror Ickes, making its full contri-
button to the effort.
Under this Office, pipe line pro-
gram consisting of eight main pro-
jects has been laid down, and much
of it already is under way. This pro-
gram includes the big pipe line
from Longview, Tex. to Mount Ver-
non, Ind, and a pipe line across

The program, he said, would serve
the double purpose of helping peo-
pie realize the Importance of each
of the required items for their own
protection and of giving them con-
fidence in their warden as a person
qualified to help them.
Apartments, hotels, hospitals,
industrial plants and stores, he said
had been supplied with literature
on air-raid precautions, but the in
dividual home owners had been neg
lected. This program, he said, was
designed to remedy that neglect.
National OCD, he disclosed, had
suggested that having residents
take a pledge to cooperate" was
the thing to do rather than can
vass their homes, but the local ci-
william defense organization felt this
method would not meet with the

nator, designed particularly to meet
such a situation in the Illinois
fields. The co-ordinator insists that
If this amendment is written into
law it will disrupt the national
program as it relates to production
and conservation of petroleum.
1t is Mr.. Lucas contention that
by raising this limitation it will be
possible for the Illinois field, COM
paratively close to the East Coast,
to produce more oil for transporta-
ton to that coast and also more
oil for the needs of the territory
Immediately adjacent to the Illinois
field.

much may be done toward solving
the problem by the use Of ocean,

Much Of such transportation"
he said, must be done by tankers.

He added he believed 1t the duty
of the Government to provide con-
voys for this purpose.
Evening star., 1942-07-05

The need for speed in the develop
ment of increased transportation
facilities to meet the requirements
of the East Coast for fuel oil Is
clear, when 1t is remembered that
in Maine and in other parts OF New
England killing frosts may be ex-
pected in two months.

cludes also construction of a pipe
line across the State, was to the
effect that the needs of the East
for all kinds of petroleum products
during the period from June of
this year through March, l943
would be about 1,450,0O0 barrels
daily.
Using the existing facilities and
the pipe lines which it will be pos
sible to complete before the close
of this period, it is estimated that
approximately 100000 barrels may
be brought into the Eastern sec
ton daily by means other than
ocean going tankers. The deficit
must be made up either by provid-
ing without delay for additional
transportation facilities by CONVEX
sion from fuel Oil to coal and by

As further evidence that Con-
gress should keep its hands off, for
the present anyway, Senator Van
denberg pointed to an amendment
to the Florida barge canal bill which
calls for the construction of a pipe
line from the Tinsley oil field in
Mississippi to Savannah, Ga. This
pipe, he said, was one of the least
needed and least economical.
