 Allied Headquarters, Philippines, Dec. 1(UP)-American destroyers sank a Jaanese destroyer and prob ably damaged another seriously in Ormoc Gulf Saturday in the first naval surface engagement since the battle of the Philippines in October, Gen. Douglas Macarthur an- nounced today.
 One American destroyer also went down with guns hlazing, but most of the crew WIS rescued, many of them by Catalina Flying boats which boldly landed within range of Japanese naval and shore bat teries in daylight next day.
 Though MacArthur's communique said the American destroyer prob ably was sunk by a floating mine, some survivors said they were almost certain she was hit by aerial tor- pedoes. Six and probably eight Jap aneSe planes were destryed during the action.
 American planes sank three 1,000- ton freighterS. a tanker, coastal vessel and a barge in Philippine wa ters off Borneo, and damaged three others.
 Other planes concentrated their bomb loads throughout Saturday on Ormoc itself, core of the Jap anese pocket in northwest Leyte. The Orn1oc Jetty was destroyed and stores and warehouses set afire.
 American Liberator and Medium bombers, with m escort of fighters, ran into stiff opposition in attacks on airdromes on Negroes and Cebu islands Friday, but destroyed supply buildings and barracks and started several fires with ilb tons of bombs. One of six enemy interceptors prob- ably was shot down and two bomb- CTS were lost.
 Though rain continued to delay ground operations on Leyte. Amer ican troops pressed forward along

Boston, Dec. 5-UP)-The Civil AeronauticS Board was asked today to grant Colonial Airlines, Inc, of New York the rlgnt to make ad- ditionl stops on its New York Montreal route and to permit them to institute air service between New York and Portland, Me, which would give New England "her fair share of the worlds business" <.
 Appearing at the opening of the second day of cab hearing on the petitions of IA airlines for new routes in New York and New Eng land, President Sigmund Janas of Colonial presented < pair Of appli- cations for his group.
 Janas requested authority to serve Springfield, the New York points of Newburgh, Kingston, Pough- keepSie, Middletown, West Point, Schenectady, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, and the Vermont points of Rutland, Montpelier, and Bur lington.
 Janas, second proposal called for operation over a number of routes from New York to Portland. The tentative pattern for these routes includes stops at these cities: Provi- dence, R. l.; Worcester; New Bed- ford, and Stamford, Conn.
 Janas said the additional stops on the New York to Montreal routes would go to and through Burlington, Vt, hence increasing the importance of Burlington as an airline stop and advancing what we believe to be Burlingtons ri'ghtful position of great importance in the air transportation pattern of this section of the country"
 He believed Burlington will be- come a focal point in airline trans (COftinlled on Page 4)

ponies should be SO intelligent.
The fourth generation of the
Pooles on this ranch is now in the
armed services and his young son
of the fifth generation awaits his
return in the rambling old ranch
house some miles from where we
stood that late afternoon. The
ranch itself is, as | have said, in

country, covered with grass sod,
which in most placse has never
been broken by the pillow. From
time to time, one could see a
CLEAN of silver in the dark green
of the grass. This would be farm
pond where water is collected and
held against the time when the
parching winds dry up the green
of the grass and moisture is hard
to find. 1t was a beautiful sight.
It was a heartening thing, also, to
hear a man say that he had kept
the land handed down to him from
mis- forefathers and was, in turn,
handing it over to his son of the
fourth generation.
