ded into it-plums, cherries, and
besides the peaches mentioned
above, an caller budded and larger

of the mountain rose variety. If
Mr.. Price can grow fine peaches on
plum stock, why can't the nursery
men?

1raqedy Strikes: Costello Carries on

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. S. (UP)-Lou
Costello's party for his sons first
birthday, to signalize the roly-poly
COMICS emergence from a slough of
hard luck, turned today into a fun
eral service.
The infant, LOU Costello, Jr..
drowned in the family swimming
pool three hours before his father
brushed the tears from his eyes
and laughed, as loud as he could,
on a coast-to-coast radio broad
cast.
The program. replete with jokes
which took on Macabre tinge for
those few listeners who knew of
the tragedy at the pool, featured
Costello and his longtime part
ner, Bud Abbott. It was their first
since Hard Luck Lou became criti-
cally ill with rheumatic fever last
March.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-11-05

The broadcast last night at NBC
studies was to have been a gala
event. Then Costello's doctor, Vic
tor Kovener, phoned him about the
baby's breaking out of its crib,
crawling to the edge of the pool
and falling in; about the firemen
diving for the child and working
in vain for an hour and a half to
revive him.
LOU slumped in his chair. His
cigar went out Rival comedians,
including Bob Hope, Red Shelton.
Jimmy Durante and Mickey Rooney
heard the news. All offered to go
in LOUIS place. BY now, DR.. Kov-
ener, who once despaired of Co.'S
tello's life, had reached the studio.
He and Abbott decided it would be
best for Costello to make his ap-
pearance.

crushed the last enemy resistance
on the nearby Treasury islands,
Amplifying earlier reports of the
night battle fought off the west
coast of Bougainville late Monday
and early Tuesday morning, Gen,
Douglas Macarthur revealed that
IL japanese warships, including
four cruisers and eight destroyers,
were engaged by the American nav
al squadron.
COMMUTE BATTLE
One cruiser and four deStrOyers
were blasted to the bottom and two
cruisers and two deStroyers were
damaged in a Commute exchange.
Macarthur emphasized that these
results were based on preliminary
reports of the battle, indicating that
the Japanese may have suffered
further losses. No American war
ships were lost, although some DAM
age and casualties were inflicted.
Sixty-seven Japanese planes took
up the attack Tuesday, but the
Warship guns brought down II of
the enemy formation and prevented
them from interfering with the
Bougainville landing.
A Berlin broadcast of a japanese
communique said three American
cruisers and two destroyers we're
sunk and several cruisers and de-
Stroyers damaged, at a cost of one
Japanese DESTROYER sunk and
cruiser slightly damaged. That ac-
count differed with an earlier To-
kyo broadcast admitting the loss
of a cruiser and two destroyers.
Berlin reported that japanese
planes sank four Allied transports,
two cruisers, destroyer and more
