Giant Warship
Leaves Ways

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Z. (UP)-
The U. S. S. Wisconsin, one of the
worlds largest battleships, slid down
the ways at the Philadelphia navy
yard today as grim reminder of
retribution on the second anniver-
sary of the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor
Mrs. Walter S. Goodland, wife OF
the governor of Wisconsin, christ
ened the 45,000-ton battleship, the
third of it's class launched since
the beginning of the war. A sister,
ship, the New JerseE, was launched
at the same yard on the first ami
versary of Pearl HaIbor.
Assistant Navy Secretary Ralph
A. Bard told a throng of shipyard
workers that the battleship was an
answer to the surprise attack of
two years ago. She will be an in
strument of retaliation" he said.
The official navy figures on the
big battle-wagon's speed, tonnage,
design, batteries, and barmor are
a wartime secret.
(Jane's fighting ships, however,
gives the following unofficial speci-
fications: length $50 feet; beam
approximately 108 feet; displace.
ment at full load, $4,000 tons; speed

Groups Scan Air
Plans Ahead

Airports for civilian use after the
war were discussed by city and
county officials from six southern
California counties at conference
with Civil Aeronautics Authority
officials in Santa Monica during
the weekend.
Imperial county and its various
cities were represented at the con-
ference where plans were made to
provide air ports for civilian Use.
CAA officials predicted that by
1850 a total of 100000 will be in
civilian use and sites for air ports
for them must be provided. They
recommended that small auxiliary
airports be constructed to relieve
minalS which undoubtedly will be
congestion on major air ways ter
used for freight and passenger
transports.
"All communities should be look
ing ahead and obtaining sites for
these civilian airports," said G. A
johnson, CAA official. "The trend
is toward civilian ownership OF
planes and all communities must
be ready with sites for landing
fields when the war is over 1t is
not too soon to begin looking
around for suitable places"

WRA Aid Defends
Actions 4 (: 10 in
TuIe Lake Rows

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 CUP) -
WarRelocation Authority Director
Dillon Myer told a Dies subcom-
mittee Tuesday that the WRA had
investigated" thoroughly the Japa-
nese rioting at the Tule Lake, Calf,
camp during the three days that
elapsed before the army moved in
Nov. 4, but admitted that no arrests
or punitive action occurred.
The army since has taken proper
action" Myer added
The subcommittee placed in the
record an affidavit by Ralph E.
Peck, steward of the camp, who
charged that WRA lacked policy
that thievery was unchecked among
the internees, and that an internee
who forced his way into a white
womans apartment was not
punished.
Peck also swore he had personal
knowledge OF one WRA white
school teacher who told internees
that the bombing of Pearl Harbor
was justified, and advocated
"intermingling of the races"
Myer had told the subcommittee
before the affidavit was read that
Peck had been a satisfactory en-
ploye. Afterward he said Pcck'S
resignation had been requested be-
cause he was allegedly intoxicated.
Peck's charges were "generalized"
and typical of vague accusations
against WRA, Myer said.
Myer was asked if Peck's resig-
nation had not been demanded by
the Japs.'
"As a matter of fact it was"
Myer replied, but that came after
we had already decided to ask him
to resign"
The affidavit said that at least
two internees were caught steal
ing "seven to eight pound beef
roasts" at the camp, but that no
action was taken against them even
after written confessions were
secured; that in two-month period
| $50 pounds of sugar was stolen and
secreted in various , places; that
Peck's superiors had advised him
| to forget" about the stealing; and
that some teachers on the WRA
payroll were "Jap-lovers" and en-
| tertained internees in their homes
nightly.
Rep. Clair Engle, D., Calif.-in
whose district the camp is located
said Peck had IAN excellent record
prior to his resignation on Nov. 6
Myer said the crowd OF severa
thousand Japanese who surrounded
the administrative buildings at the
camp on Nov. had been described
variously as friendly, partially hos
tile, sheeplike and as exhibiting a
holiday spirit.

Flu Cases Draw
Word Of WARNING

WASHINGTON, Dec. z. (UP)-
Thousands of residents of the Wash
inyton area were reported afflicted
today in major outbreak of mild
influenza and respiratory ailments
but public health officials said
there was nothing to indicate the
epidemic was nationwide.
G.. S. Perrott of the public health
service said that for the week ended
Nov 27 a total of 24G5 influenza
cases was reported nationally, "ap-
proximately the same" as for the
corresponding week last year. The
rise from 1884 for the previous
week was purely seasonal, he said.
Doctors and local public health
officials emphasized that the epi-
demic here was not of the same
deadly type of flu that claimed so
many lives in 1918, but warn( :.
persons with colds or respiratory
infections to stay at home, both
TO protect themselves and to avoid
spreading the virus.
Eighty per cent of the flu cases
for the week of Nov. 27 were re-
ported from six states es-TeXas, South
Carolina, Minnesota, Virginia, AFi-
zona, and Missouri.

Housing Needs
Still Pose
Hard Problems

Requests for houses, rooms, and
apartments continued to pile up at
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce Tuesday as more and more
military families moved into the
community.
Forty couples aske1 tie chamber
for housing Monday ana Secretary
Ben Herring was able to find places
for six of them. b. noon Tuesday
25 additional couples had applied to
him for help in getting places to
live. He had nothing listed for
| them
In the meantime school officials
throughout the county checked over
facilities and with teachers to see
if they could take care of an in
crease in attendance from the
families of military men.
In most of the schools, however,
there has been drop in attendance
which will end when families OF the
migratory make their annual trek
to Imperial Valley for the fall and
winter harvesting season. Little

officials said, as they are ac-
customed to handling the annual
influx of migratory children ana
undoubtedly will be able to take
care of increases caused by the
children of military men stationed
in this area. They pointed out that
much of the agricultural work in
the valley is being done this year
by Mexicans imported from across
the border and that they were
brought into the United States
without their families.
Superintendent Guy Weakley OF
Ell Centre said that he did not
anticipate any great influx of chill
dren from military families although
it is impossE,.c TO anticipate what
may happen with any degree of ac-
curacy in wartime. The increases
probably would be spread through
out the various elementary grades
he said, and that would enable us
to accommodate them.

lief that the japanese might aban-
don their key base of Rabaul, al
though not before making our at
tack there as costly as possible.
The two officers, Rear Admiral
Robert B Carney, chief of staff to
Admiral William F.. Halsey, and
Brig. Gen. Alfred S. Noble, chief
Of staff for the first marine amphib-
ious corps under Maj. Gen. Roy
Geiger, held a joint conference here
upon Mobiles arrival from Bougain-
Vile.
Carney said in response to ques-
ton that the Japanese on Bougain-
vile are thoroughly confused, and
don't know what we are doing or
what they themselves are doing
Then he added:
The Jap is confused in the whole
Pacific area because he knows our
central, south and southwest Pacific
forces are all set to hit him. He is
moving around trying to get set for
the next blow"
Asked whether the japanese
might abandon Rabaul, Carney de-
clared, "our carrier strikes have
demonstrated Rabaul is no longer
safe as q big enemy base. Nobody
in his right mind is going to throw
good money after bad. The jap
will probably hang on to make its
capture as costly as possible for us
but I think there will come time
when it will be too expensive for
him to hold cn any longer"
Carney and Noble agreed that
the Japanese were caught flatfooted
b. our invasion of Bougainville Nov
/, and explained that apparently
the enemy expected us to attack the
Shorthand islands south of Bougain-
vile.
The Bougainville campaign at the
end of five weeks is entirely differ
ent from that at Guadalcanal, the
two officers said. Instead of "hang-
ing on by the skin of their teeth
as at Guaoalcanal, American forces
on Bougainville have ample equip
ment and there is no question bu!
that the success of our venture has
been secure, they declared.
"Guadalcanal was a shoestring
operation, but our steamroller al
Bougainville is really running now,
! Carney said.

Transit Workers
Granted Raise

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 7. CUP)-Wage
increases averaging cents an hour
were granted to employees of the
San Diego Electric Railway Co. by
the 10th regional war labor board
in San Francisco, Sam E. Mason,
vice president of the company and
Merlin Gerkin, business representa-
tive of the operators union, an
nounced Tuesday.
Mason said the wage boosts for
the 1925 employes would increase
the company's payroll nearly $780,
900 year.
The boards decision brought eX-
pressions of approval from both
the transit company and union Of
ficials and apparently ended the
controversy which began last Feb
ruary and on Nov. 81 resulted in a
24-hour strike of most of the city's
bus and street car operators.
The increases will be retroactive
TO Jan. l, 1943, for the streetcar
and bus operators and Lntil June ]
for non-operators.
