'0utside' Attorneys
Participation in Rent.
Hearings Protested
CoesweII Considers
Objection in Connection
With Greenwoy Dispute

A protest against participation OF
E. L. Hollis as counsel for tenants
in hearings on the rent dispute at
the Greenway Apartments. East
Capitol street and Minnesota avenue
S. E. on the ground that he is not
a member OF tne District Ear, was
being considered today by Robert
F.. Cogswell, rent control admisis-
traitor.
Receipt of tre protest from At
torney Richard A. Harman was an
nounced by Mr.. Cogswell at last
nights session in Anacostia High
School Auditorium. Mr.. Harman
today said he AFFECTED to outsiders"
practicing law in the District, espe-
cially since it has been the custom
of the rent control examiners here
to disqualify any one who is not a
member Of the District Bar in good
standing. Mr. Hollis is member
of the Massachusetts bar.
Mr.. Harman saio his protest also
was intended to include any other
tenant attorneys who are not quail
fed to practice law in the District.
Location Called Questionable"
Mr.. Hollis, an Once OF Price Ad-
ministration attorney, said none OF
the four lawyers, all residents OF
Greenway, who are pleading the
tenants case, is member OF the
District Bar. He pointed out that
he and his colleagues were not ac-
cepting fees for their efforts. but
were interested in the case because
they are Greerway tenants.
Tenants counsel last night were
given their first opportunity to place
witnesses on the stand to refute the
contention of Morris Cafritz, presi-
dent of G-eenway. Inc, that the
advance rent. ceilings he is seeking
on most Of the apartments in the
development are consistent with
charges made ior comparable dwell
ing units.
Miner Chamblin, a tenant, told
the examiners that he considered
the development to be located in
an questionable" quarter of the
city, and that the proximity of mil
itary objectives" tended to depre-
ciate its value.
+ Hearing Slated Tonight.
Nathaniel Eiseman. resident of
Buckingham Village Apartments in
Arlington, Va, testified that in his
opinion the Buckingham Apart
ments were more desirable. He said
the rent schedule was about the
same as that now in effect at Green
way
Tenants counsel also summoned
Ralph Hisle. rent manager for Mr.
Cafritz, in an attempt to determine
how the mistake" In setting lower
rents for certain parts of the prof.
ect had occurred. Mr.. Cafritz ha.
contended that the lower rents were
the result of an error. He has prom.
ised, however. that he will raise M
rents as long as apartments are oc.
cupied by present tenants, no mat
ter what decision may be handee
down by Mr. Cogswell.
Tonight's session, beginning at
o'clock, will be the last in the higf
school. Mr.. Cogswell has announced
that further sessions would be helt
during the day in his Offices 1t i
expected the hearings will be re
sumed early next month.

ABOARD THE DESTROYER
SMITH IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC,
Nov. tDelayeO "A Japanese tor
pedo plane, plummeting from the
sky. crashed squarely on the fore
castle of this American destroyer
in the battle of Santa Cruz Islands
and set off fires which swept half
the length of the ship.
Flames from the fallen enemy
plane enveloped the bridge and
climbed to the crosstree 100 feet
above the deck.
Then the Jap's pound tor
pedo exploded and scattered frag-
ments and sparks over the entire
ship and into the No. engine room.
Two of the Smiths ammunition
ready rooms, crammed with 5-inch
shells, exploded suddenly to the
accompaniment of series of minor
eruptions elsewhere on board.
Regardless, the destroyer kept
standing guard over the aircraft
carrier she was detailed to help
protect. For two hours she con-
tlnued in action, shooting down
additional enemy planes even while
the crew battled the spreading
flames.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-William
Griffin, publisher of the New York
Enquirer, charged yesterday at a
Federal removal hearing that VIII
liam Power Maloney, special As
sistant Attorney General. had for
months carried on a plan of per-

The publisher is fighting removal

others are under indictment charged
with conspiracy to undermine the
morale of American armed forces.
The charge came during cross-ex-
animation by Mr.. Maloney, who pre-
sented the case to the Washington
grand jury, and after Griffin had
testified he had met George Sylves-
ter Viereck, convicted Naz agent,
at various places in New York City

 Gen. MacArthur,s Headquarters, Australia. Sept. 6-(UP)--Allied air forces, fighting under a new com mander, have raided the strong Japanese base at Rabaul, New Brit ain, and delivered another powerful blow at Buna, northern New Guinea base of the enemy drive against Port Moresby, Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur announced today.
 MacArthur's headquarters dis closed that for more than a month, the combined southwest Pacific air strength had been commanded by Maj. Gen. G. c. Kenney of Brook line, Mass, who was appointed to succeed Lieut.. Gen. George H. Brett. Brett now Is in the United States for a new assignment.
 While flying fortresses and me- dium bombers struck at enemy bases, constant skirmishing was re- ported in the Owen Stanley Moun- tains, where the Japanese drive on Moresby remained stalled near Efogi, A miles north of the port.
 MacArthur's conmunique disclos- ed that the fortresses executed the first raid since Aug. 31 against Ra- baul, on the northeastern tip of New Britain. New Britain lies northeast of New Guinea.

 Whereas two years ago yesterday, l85 German planes were shot down from the skies over London, with a loss of only 25 British planes and II pilots, perhaps one enemy stratosphere plane crossed the is- land yesterday.
 German Strato bombers have been appearing over Britain during the last several months. but Allied air experts agree there is little to fear from them at present.
 Anti-aircraft batteries went into heavy action last night at two points in eastern England-one on the coast and one inland. erman planes dropped incendiary and high explosive bombs, but authoritative sources said they caused only slight damage and one fatality.

U. s. Yorktown
 Sunk In Fight
Continued from Page D

Yorktown's loss was not known to the enemy, it had withheld the an- Eouncement pending developments which were vital to the operations which have bene in progress in the South Pacific since early August" i"
 These operations apparently re- ferred to the Solomons campaign.
 The Yorktown was skippered by Capt. Elliott Buckmaster, a native of Brooklyn, N. Y, whose residence is listed as Columbus, O.
 The loss of the Yorktown brought to AT the number of U. s. naval vessels lost by enemy action or other causes so far nthis war. That total included p fleet type combat ves- sels.
 Japanese losses so far total at least 258 ships sunk, probably sunk or damaged. That figue includes merchant ypes.
 The Yorktown was among the fastest of the U. s. carriers, which prior to the outbreak of the war numbered seven. So far the navy has lost two carriers, the oYrktoWn and the Lexington.
 The YorktoWn's normal cvomple- ment was listed in pre-war data as 2,072 officers and men. She had normal aircraft complement of 85 planes. :,
 The ship was put into commission five years ago this month.
 The Yorktown's standard, dis placement was 19,900 tons, it's wa- terline length 761 feet and its mean draft q feet, eight inches.
 It was one of the ships included in the program of 32 naval vessels authorized by the national indus trial recovery act of June, 1883. No Details of Battle
 The Navy's communique gave no details of the battle in which the Yorktown received its mortal wounds. But in its communique of July IA, describing the battle of Midway, the Navy said the York town was first attacked by 36 enemy planes. Eleven of Is Japanese bombers in the group were shot down by defending, fighters before they could drop their bombs.
 Seven sneaked through the fighter protection. Of these, one was de- stroyed by anti-aircraft fire, sec ond dropped its bombload into the sea and fell in after it, while 8 third was torn to shreds by our fighters. Four enemy bombers, however, SCOT ed three direct hits.
 Soon afterwards, 12 to IS enemy torpedo planes escorted by fighters went after the Yorktown. Between four and seven of these attackers were destroyed by fighters and three were shot down by anti-aircraft gunners even before they could launch their torpedoes. Five suc- ceeded in launching torpedoes - some of which struck the Yorktown.
 After scoring their hits, the five torpedo planes were destroyed as they attempted to escape. The dam caused 8 list which made the York towns flight deck useless, but its aircraft continued the battle from other carriers.

 London, Sept. 16-(UP)-Ofacial circles admitted today that Axis sub- marines had made heavy attack on an Allied convoy in the Atlantic, but denied German claims that 19 of the ships had been sunk.
 There has been 6 heavy C-boat attack on one of our Atlantic con- voys," a spokesman said, but the Germans claims to have sunk 19 ships are nowhere near the truth. They are bloated to the bursting point"
 (The German radio claimed 19 ships, totaling 10000 tons had been sunk in the convoy battle. It an- nounced that Lieut.. -Cmdr. Rolf Muetzelburg. submarine ace and holder of the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross, with oak leaves, had been lost in the battle)
 "The German announcement that their ace U-boat commander, Rolf Muetzelburg, lost his life but that his U-boat still Is in action probably means that the submarine was forced to crash-dive leaving the commander on the brideg." the spokesman said.

SECOND FRONT IS
 ACITATED AGAIN
Continued from Page D

every day of the grinding siege of Stalingrad is costing the Nazis thousands of lives--those, they de- clare are not enough.
 The arguments are valid, but the simple fact is that they are only ar guments. Whether soon or later, now or next month, this winter or next spring, the second front cannot be established until our military eX- perts say we are ready for it. Both Prime Minister ChurchilPs and President Roosevelt's statements of week ago that United Nations ac- tion designed to relieve RuSsia's plight had been settled upon were too binding in form to have been mere generalizationS, but specific performance" will be forthcoming only when there is a reasonable guarantee of success.
 An unsuccessful attempt, whatever the urgency of the need to relieve Russia, would lose US more in mor- ale and prestige--and gain the Nazis more--than any tactical advantage involved in temporary relief.
 Whether it comes in Norway, in France, from North Africa, from the air or anywhere else, the offensive must be successful and must have permanent and decisive effect. Hitler has illustrated all over again that the waging of war is cold blooded and calculating thing. How ever much the element of gambling may sometimes be involved. Hitler always wants his odds on the long side, the longer the better, in any campaign. We would be dolts and play straight into his plans if we did not figure our chances just as thoroughly and selfishly in advance. That is the kind of selfishness that often turns out to be wisdom in the end.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-16

The cornmunique gave no details of the fighting on the outskirts of Stalingrad save that "Luftwaffe formations supported Army struggles and attacked enemy supply traffic on road and rail in the estuary territory of the Volga."
 TranSocean News Agency, how ever, quoted informed quarters that the attacking Nazi troops had pene- trated farther into the city "after severe fighting against enemy nests of resistance"
 "In the area of Voronezh, the enemy with strong forces resumed attacks and Wss rcpelled in hard struggles when high lc3ses were irl- flicted upon the opponent" the high command said.
 Fierce fighting also was reported from the central front near Rzhev. The Russians repeatedly attacked there. t,e communique said, but lost 106 tanks, n of them in single, restricted area. At another point of that sector 8 German local att tack" was successful, according to the high command.
 "In the northern sector of the front (around Leningrad) local enemy advances broke down." it was said. South of Lake Ladoga weak enemy forces were encircled and annihilated. Artillery shelled enemy supplements, pillboxes and Qualifications and good effect was observed. On Lake Ladoga Soviet guardship and one freighter were damaged after having been struck by bombs"
 The high command tabulation of aerial losses for the period from September to September 15 listed 1915 Soviet planes, 936 of which were dOwned in combat, PIP by anti aircraft, and 43 by ground fire from infantry troops. The rest were destroyed on the ground. Germany lost 87 planes during the same per iod, the communique said.
