Daring Attack in Nor

LONDON, Oct IL. - The Nazi
battleship Tirpitz has been dam
aged by British midget submar-
ines. The communicate today said
the daring attack was carried out
on main units of the German battle
fleet at their protected anchorages
in Alien Fjord in northern Nor
way, involving hazards of the first
order"
The announcement said under
water damage" was inflicted on the
Tirpitz and added that the attack
was made September %. The fol-
lowing day a German communicate
announced that an attack by SUBJ
marines was repulsed and prisoners
were taken.
The British statement today said,
Insufficient evidence is available as
to the result of the attack as OPP
erations are still proceeding. The
crews of the midget submarines who
took part in the attack are being
Intercepted.
! "A Photographic reconnaissance
now leaves no doubt that the,say
tack met with success, despite en-
envy claims to the contrary. Air
photographs after the attack show
the Tirpitz, which had not moved
her anchorage, surrounded with
thick oil in the ford where she
lay, and this slick extended over
a distance of more than two miles
from her berth"
The communique said that three
midget subs did not return from
the attack and are presumed lost,
although some of the crews may
possibly have been taken prisoner.

The w ashington
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
tnajor Robert Z. Alien on active duty)

WASHINGTON--One of the most
important Congressional investiga-
lions since Pearl Harbor will start
this week when Senator Kilgore's
war Mobilization Committee opens
hearings on the question of giving
the public chance to use war pat
ents after the war.
Approximately $1,000,000,0O0 has
been expended by American tax
PAYERS for the research and de-
velopment of war implements. After
the last war a lot of these discov-
cries were turned over to monopolies
of private industry. The Radio
Corporation of America, for in
stance, got the Nays radio pat
ents.
So now Senator Kilgore's COM
mittee wants to find out whether
such a vital discovery as radar Will
be turned over to the public as a
whole or bottled up by' one or two
big companies. The Kilgore Com
mittee intends to introduce legisla-
ton to protect the public.
One thing which already worries
the Senators is the good will adj
vertising boasts of several big con-
Germs about all the new living COM
forts that will be available after the
war-due to wartime research. What
the ads fail to point out is that the
government is footing the major
part of the research bill.
West Virginia's two-fisted Sen
ator Harley M. Kilgore, Chairman
of the War Mobilization Commit
tee, is going to do little advertis-
ing of his own on this point. His
Committee will delve chiefly into
these fields:
ID WAR CONTRACTS. Kilgore
is anxious to know if new produc-
ton formulas and techniques, de-
veloped by big war contractors at
government expense, will be avail
able to smaller competing concerns
after the war.
(2) COLLEGE STUDIES. War
research in college laboratories is
confined largely to few big in
stitutions, headed by Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology The Kill
gore Committee wants to make the
scientific findings of M. 1T. and
other federally assisted colleg S
available to smaller schools; also
wants to prevent industry from lur-
ing topflight instructors from the
campuses.
80 FOREIGN PATENTS. Many
people fear that Axis patents seized
by the Alien Property Custodian
will either be returned to Axis own
ers after the war or will be sold to
a small group OF American indus
tralists, as happened after the last
war. Senator Kilgore wants to de-
termine what procedure, if any. is
being developed to insure that for
eign patents viii be licensed to small
as well as big American manufac-
turers

YankS Prove Real
Biz Brothers 10
Overseas Children
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. = You
may remember stories about Amer
lean soldiers teaching German kids
to play baseball during days of oc-
cupation right after World War I.
Here are couple Of stories that
show that the doughboy gets along
with the youngsters OF occupied
territory today just as well as he
ever did.
Both these stories, which have
just drifted back from Sicily, are
about mascots, both called Johnny.
The first ones real name is
Giovanni. He's a 12-year-old Sicil-
ian whose mother was killed in an
air raid and whose father hasn't
been heard from since he went off
to the Russian front.
Johnny wandered into the bivouac
of an armored division medical bat
TALON after that historic end-run
to Palermo At first he just sat on
the stubble of wheat field and
sang solemnly to himself. Soon the
soldiers began to talk and joke
with him and to share their C
rations.
Johnny moved in as mascot.
Now he goes about with his
civilian clothes rounded out with
a pair of CT shoes and CT cap.
