Storm Damage in
East Runs High

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-(UP)-A
raging northeast storm that whip
ped the Atlantic seaboard with gale
winds and torrential rains last
night moderated today after
grounding several large merchant
ships, indirectly causing several
deaths and injuries, and wreaking
property damage estimated at mil
lions of dolalrs.
All but one of the ships cast
ashore by the wind-lashed surf that
pounded the approaches to New
York harbor were reported by the
third naval district to be safe.
The James Longstreet, a 1916 ton
cargo vessel, the navy reported, was
in danger of breaking up after run
ming aground near Sandy Hook,
N. j., and coast gUardsmen ran a
line aboard to take off the crew of
about 70.
STILL AGROUND
Another ship, the 1881 ton
freighter F. j. Luckenbach, was
still aground about 200 yards off
Belmar, N. j., but was believed safe
despite big waves that pounded it..
Coast guardsmen were removing
the crew in a breeches buoy.
Also still aground, but reported
out of danger were two other yes
sells in the Sandy Hook area, the
4,971 ton exiloma and the 7,1000 ton
Fort Douglas, both freighters.
Several other vessels that ran
aground in New York harbor were
freed without any serious damage,
the navy reported.
AT least two deaths in New York
and New Jersey and two in New
England were reported as a result
of the storm--the worst of the year.

German opposition ranged from
very tough to extremely light as
the contesting armies jockeyed for
position preliminary to what may
be the showdown battle for Rome
along the strongest natural defense
position south of the Italian capl-
tai.
Americans of Lieut.. Gen. Mark
w. Clark's Fifth army struck up
from franchise to seize Montanaro,
on high ground to the north. The
British Eighth army won Civita
Campomarano, Tavenna, and Ac-
quavivo Collorce in the center and
northeastern sectors of the line.
CANADIANS IN ACTION
The hardest fighting was report
ed in the sector of the Eighth army
front held by Canadian troops, WIN
were meeting extremely stiff resist
ance.
AS they gradually gave ground to
hulwark their primary line, the
Germans fought hard before the
mountain junction town of Isernia,
the hinge of the line, across Italy,
lest a sudden Allied onsurge crush
that strongpoint and lay open the
defenses on either side.
Indicative of the Nazi apprecia-
ton of the situation was the fact
that the bitterest struggles of the
moment were in progress around
Gorela. The prize was high ground
which the allies must control if
they are to push the Germans out
of the approaches to Isernia.
Bearing the brunt of the German
counterbloWs for the time being,
Eighth army units took Civita
Campomarano, three miles north
of Lucita; Tavenna, three miles
west of Montecilfone; and Acqua-
vivvo Co.lorce, six miles southwest
of Montecilfone.
The victories wiped out strong
points in the Trigno river area
before the German line anchored
at the Adriatic on Vasto.
TOUGH FIGHT AHEAD
On the basis of the latest reports
from the fighting front, a spokes-
man warned that it would be "a
great mistake" to spread the idea
that Italy now will fall easily into
Allied hands.
The overall picture was one of the
Germans falling back in light fight
ing in sectors where the retreat
takes them to better ground, but
in fierce struggles where the pull
back tended to affect the new line.
Reports circulating in London
that Marshal Albert Kesselring had
been removed from the German
command in sorth Italy were said

The Occasion finds the U. ..

President Roosevelt, in a tribute

p ospective future war moves would

FIRST OBSERVED
Nav; day was first observed on
Oct. 81, 1929, under the auspices OF
the Navy League of the United
States. The date also is the BIRTH
day of Theodore Roosevelt.
High-ranking naval officials went
to all parts of the country to parti-
cipate in navy day ceremonies.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. (UP)-
Admiral c. H. Woodward (retired)
today revealed the story of a for
mer enlisted man turned navy pilot
who flew to his death at sea to
avoid giving away the position of
his aircraft carrier.
The flier was Lieut.. JG) Paul
Baker of San Diego, Calf.
Woodward, in a Navy day address
at the John Paul Jones monument
told this story:
'On the eve of the Coral sea en-
gagement, an American task force,
of which the Lexington was part,
caught up with the tail end of the
main Japanese invasion force and
accounted for three enemy carriers.
In the savage airfighting that day,
Baker himself had brought down
five japanese aircraft. Towards
nightfall he was lowering over the
Lexington, awaiting the signal to
land, with only a few gallons of
gasoline left. Suddenly, 10 Japanese
planes approached overhead. The

six months to have lid. officials
recognize the unions position.
In the meantime, Harry w. Hor-
ton, chief counsel for the district,
handed down his opinion that the
NLRB has no jurisdiction over
the irrigation district.
STATE AGENCY
"It has been held by state and
federal courts that an irrigation
district in the State Of California
is state agency and as such func-
tions for the state as political
subdivision thereof, Horizons state
ment said in part.
At the same time Horton quoted
from the Wagner Act, under which
the NLRB functions, which Specifi-
cally states that the act shall not
concern any state or political sub
division thereof"
There are 112 employees in the
power division of the irrigation dis
trict, but only linemen, service men
and hydro power plant operators
are affected by the proposed strike.
Officials of the district could
not Immediately determine the
number possibly affected by the
unions demand, but several of
them indicated it probably was not
more than IS men.
THE union claims a majority as
its members. OF course, we have no
way of determining this as no rec
ord of a mans affiliations are kept
by u.s., Power Superintendent Steve
Harris said.
NO STATEMENT
Evan t. Hewes, president of the
board of directors, refused to issue
statement other than that releas-
ed by Horton.

viewpoint of the board of direc-
tors, Hewes said.

The Germans hurled hundreds OF
tanks and planes into a desperate
battle to save Krivoi Rog, northern
prop of the escape gap through
which upwards of 100000 fleeing
Axis troops in the Dnieper bulge

the Russians captured all suburban
railway stations and cut all railway
lines except a southern spur line.
The army organ Red Star said
the German command was sending
fleets of transport planes through q
Russian aerial gantlet to para
chute gasoline drums and supplies
to the encircled force in Krivoi
Rog's outskirts.
At the same time, groups of so to
70 bombers bombed and strafed
narrow sectors of the encircling
Russian line in an effort to ease
pressure against the trapped Ger
mans
These tactics were reminiscent Of
the abortive German attempt to
rescue their encircled army of
100000 at Stalingrad. The size of
the force encircled at Krivoi Rog
was not given in front reports, but
was believed to be considerably
smaller.
NO CONFIRMATION
There was no confirmation that
Krivoi Rog itself had yet been en-
circled.
On the ground, German mortor-
iZed infantry and tanks, including
one Panzer division from Italy. were
communicating as often as 10
times daily, but were being pushed
back steadily through the streets
of Krivoi Rog.
Prisoners reported that several of
their units had reached the front
from Germany only month ago,
while other detachments were sta
toned in France up to last Sep
tember. The Germans said re-
serves were thrown into battle

Mr.. Roosevelt, in a special mes

commended that this period be six
months.
This is good time not merely
to be thinking about the subject,

it," Mr.. Roosevelt told congress-

said that the time to prepare for

BASIS FOR MESSAGE

November. The broad plan worked
out by the committee was the basis
for Mr.. Roosevelt's message and

executive.
In addition to the one year of
free schooling, Mr.. Roosevelt rec
commended that "a limited number
of ex-service men and women select
ed for their special aptitudes"
should be provided funds to con-
tinue their education for a further
period of one, two or three years"
