of l6 reinforcing transports-aggre-
eating $1,000 tons-with 1900
troops. plus IA escorting warships.
Caught North of Cebu.
Bomb-carrying Warhawks and
Thunderbolts caught this latest
convoy north of Cebu, shortly after
it left port and when it was still
some distance from Leyte.
Attacking at dusk, the fighters
sank three transports of an undis-
closed tonnage and left a fourth
blazing from stem to stern. All
troops and supplies aboard were
believed lost.
A headquarters spokesman said
no warships were reported as es-
corting the Cebu convoy. and there
was only slight warship support
for the troopships lost the previous
day. 1t was not known, however,
whether this indicated that Japan
is running short of escor. vessels.
Aground, American 7th Division
troops broke up japanese night at
tacks at Palanas, II miles south of
Ormoc. The 7th Division is push
ing slowly northward along the
coastal road toward Ormoc.

reaching a conclusion like that of
the Pearl Harbor investigating group
which was headed by Associate JUS
tice Roberts of the Supreme Court,
is said to have found that it was
the function of the Army to insure
the safety of the base against at
tack, and that the Navy's function
was to support the Army indirectly
by operations at sea and directly by
making available therefor such in
strumentalities as are on the YES
sells of the feet when in harbor and
are located or based on shore.
Method Arouses Speculation.
"As to the Army board which
simultaneously investigated the
disaster, it also is said to support
the findings of the Roberts board in
the matter of the failure of officers
of the War Department to comment
to Gen. Short upon the measures he
had reported he took to guard the
base In accordance with instructions
given him, and the specific warn
ings given him not to resort to
peacetime methods against sabotage
and espionage, and not to take
measures which would alarm the
civil population"
The Journal added:
How the board reached its con-
clusions regarding Admiral Kimmel
is a matter of considerable specu-
lation. Since the Army was re-
sponsible for the aircraft warning
system, he assumed that it was in
operation, which was not the case,
and this point doubtless was
thoroughly explored by the Army
board The truth seems to be that
both the Army and Navy command
did not believe that an attack by
the japanese was in prospect, al
though warnings of its possibility
had been communicated by the War
and Navy Departments"

SURVEY MADE

In view Of a recent survey,
Friel believes that private hospi-
tails cannot accommodate the re-
turning veterans. Opposed is the
contention Of Lynes d. Boomer OF
the Board of Commerce that if the,
daily allowance per veteran 10
private institutions were increased
the situation would be relieved.
Friel said that a survey. con-
Quoted in May, l943, by the board
of auditors showed that there was
not sufficient number Of hospi-
tai beds available in Dearborn for
the needs of the community, ex-
elusive of the returning veterans.
The same situation is true, he said,
in other communities in the De-
frnlf araa

THREE-PoINT PROGRAM

Friels plan for adequate hospi-
talization for the veterans is
threefold:
THE federal government
must take immediate steps TO
expedite the construction Of ad-
ditional hospitals.
2-Space can be provided in
some city and county hospitals
for additional beds.
3-State hospitals should be
made available until facilities

Men scattered throughout the

Appeal, it appeared today.
/ The appeal boards decisions for

instructor in Jerusalem, the 25-year-
old head of a. Mexican lithograph-

whom sought deferment on grounds

The appeal board also refused to
grant an agricultural deferment to

occupational deferments to two min-

22-year-old student at Assumption
College in Ontario, Canada.
The board dealt more favorably
with the appeals of three farmers
in Alberta, granting farm defer

81, and a hardship deferment to the
third, aged "a.
On local appeals, the board de-

23-year-old store manager and to

appeal to a 27-year -old linotype op-

Three men lost their deferments
when the appeal board reviewed

They were a 27-year-old Interior
Department chemical engineer, who
had been deferred at Government
