Slain in This War
Greater Than Last
But Wounded Haze TtUo
Chances to One in 1913.

WASHINGTON. - The Office OF
War Information says that more
men are killed outright in this war
than in the last, and that the ratio
of killed in action to other battle
casualties is twice what it was in
1918.
However, those not killed outright
stand a better chance of surviving
than they did rs years ago. Speed
Ter and more effective treatment of
the wounded is keeping more of these
casualties alive.
The comprehensive report, based
on information from army and navy
medical departments, says greater
destructive power of present ord
nance, greater firepower and less
sterilization in prepared positions
are taking a greater toll of men.
The army, navy and marine corps
have lost 1929 men since Pearl
Harbor, through September 80. That
does not include missing and pris-
oners.
In the First World war, one army
man was killed for every six wound
ed, while in this war one has been
killed for every three wounded. The
navy lost one killed for every two
plus wounded in the last war, and
n killed for every one-plus wound
ed since Pearl Harbor.
In the last war, the marine corps
had n killed for every five wound
ed; now it is one for four.
Six per cent of those wounded in
the last war died, while the percent
age now is 3.5, the army said. In
the navy the percentage of wound
ed who died was 7.35 in 1913; now
it is 3.16. OF the 7,714 marines
wounded in the last war, IL per cent
died, compared with 3.15 in this war.
Mental cases are running far
ahead of those for the First World
war.

Code Taking Ability of
Student Amazes Teacher

MADISON, WIS.-The exceptional
code taking ability of Pfc. Frank j.
Elliott, former broadcast engineer
from Atlanta, Ga, amazed instruc-
tors at the army air forces techni-
cal school at Truax Field, Madison.
The first day Elliott entered a code
class, his instructor inquired why he
was not participating in the work.
The modest operator said his speed
was slightly above" the work the
students were doing, 20 words a
minute.
Officers tested him. At 80, 40, go
and 65-word speeds Elliott took code
calmly, conversing with instructors
part of the time. The machine send
ing code was pushed to 72, its top
speed. At this point, with Elliott
still tipping messages accurately,
the machine began to smoke.

Although imports Of earth pig
ments, such as French yellow ochers,
Spanish and Persian Gulf red iron
oxides, Italian siennas, and many
other raw materials have been cur
tailed as a result of the war, they
have been offset without great diff

GanneH Calls Patmar
Charges Unfounded
Nv IN. Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
ROCHESTER, NJ Y, May 13.-
Publisher Frank Gannett termed
yesterday false and unfounded" a
charge by Representative Patman
Democrat, of Texas that he is a
leader in a movement to limit the
power of Congress to levy taxes.
Speaking Thursday on the House
floor, Mr.. Patman named Mr.. Can
nett and Sam Pettengill, one-time
Democratic Congress member from
Indiana and former treasurer of
Republican National Committee, as
leaders in the movement which he
asserted was "the most sordid and
sinister lobby ever organized"
"Patman, like Don Quixote," Mr..
Garnett said, fights imaginary
windmills to give himself the
hero's role. His every statement on
the floor OF Congress was false and
unfounded. He also shows gross
ignorance of the subject he dis
cussed."
Mr.. Patman said "the lobby" seeks
to slip through" a constitutional
amendment to take from Congress
the power to levy and tax on income,
gifts and estates higher than Is per
cent.

Bases Leased by u. 5.
Believed Available
For Civil Aviation
nv the Associated Press.

BY the hSSoSlateG fTesS,
Diplomatic officials here expect
that the great American-built air
base at Bermuda eventually will be
made available for international
civil aviation despite the fact such
use now is prohibited by the go
year lease under which Britain
made the area available to this
country.
Similar Observation-Disclosures also
may be applied to other strate-
gically located units in the chain
of eight 99-year bases. The whole
question probably will be settled
as part of the aviation conferences,
scheduled to be held here later this
year,
The subject was brought to the
fore by Lord Beaverbrook, the Lord
Privy Seal, who told Commons two
days ago that the leases by which
Britain granted the bases to this
country in 1910 prohibit their use
fof civil purposes-notably aviation
after the war.
There are many reasons cited by
ranking officials here for their con-
viction.
One is the fact that Lord Beaver
brook has agreed generally that
American-bui bases in the British
Empire will be internationalized in
SO far as commercial aviation is
concerned. This specifically did not
apply to the special case of the
eight leased bases because they we're
not then at issue-but it can be ap-
piled to them.

u. ). Submarines Sink
ID More Jap Ships,
Including Destroyer

Fourteen more Japanese vessels,
including a destroyer, have been
sunk by American submarines
cruising deep into enemy waters in
the Pacific and Far East, the Navy
reported late yesterday.
The vessels sunk include two
tankers, one medium transport, one
medium cargo transport and nine
cargo vessels.
The sinkings bring to 709 the
number of japanese vessels sunk,
probably sunk or damaged. This
includes $50 sunk, 36 probably sunk
and lis damaged.
The destroyer was the fourth
Japanese warship reported sunk by
American submarines this month,
indicating accelerated sub opera
tions against enemy efforts to keep
their scattered bases in the Pacific
supplied.
On May the Navy reported sink
ing Of one light cruiser and two
destroyers.
Inclusion of two tankers in the
latest bag was another blow at
Japanese maintenance of bases, for
the enemy has lost heavily of that
type OF fuel-carrying ship
The destruction of eight cargo
vessels and three transports also cut
deeply into the sorely depleted fleet
of japanese merchantmen which al
ready has been hit so hard that in
many cases the enemy has used
barges for the transportation of
men and supplies.
The Navy adhered to- policy In
providing no information on when
and where the submarines con-
Quoted their latest successful war
