FILL THE TANKS
 CAMPAIGN NOW ON

Waterbury consumers were urged today to fill their oil tanks and aid in increasing storage facilities for more fuel oil. The Petroleum Ad- ministration for War reported that storage depots in the Atlantic sea- board area can hold 10 million ad- ditional barrels of household fuel oil this winter if consumers absorb the current surplus now.
 Unless the fill the tanks" cam paign is successful, shortage of oil may result next winter, it was stressed.
 Aaron Paur, manager of the local ration board reported 15,000 appli- cations have been filed at the board and that about 5000 more are ex- pected. Fuel oil allotment coupons which are mailed by the board on application may be used for imme- diate ordering.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. (ANP)
The true story of the death Of Dorie
Miller now stands revealed. In a
thrilling account of the Tragedy
Of the Liscome Bay" Robert L.
Schwartz, Y &c, :Yank navy CORES
pondent, tells the story.
''The baby flat-top, Liscome Bay,
was sunk by a torpedo on the day
before Thanksgiving of 1913"
Schwartz begins his saga. 'The Lis
come Bay was on her first battle
assignment covering the occupa-
tion of Maxim in the Gilberts.
"The submarine attack was a
complete surprise. 1t was the Lis
come Bays third day Of the inva-
sion and her crew had lost the tense
ness that goes with the beginning Of
a long operation. Only their stan
dard occupational alertness re-
NAMED. The scuttlebutt reported
that the nearest enemy ships were
two days away.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1945-01-22

"The torpedo struck half-hour
before dawn and it was still dark
when the Liscome Bay sank.
General quarters had sounded at
O505, in keeping with the strict GUS
tom of sending men to their battle
stations at dawn and at dusk in COM
bat zones. Five minutes later a voice
shouted, "Christ, here comes a tor
pedo.
''It struck near the stern of the
port side. The whole after section
broke quickly into flames and most
of the crew stationed there died in
stantly.
"The casualty list for the Liscome
Bay was the second largest of any
navy vessel in the war. The compile
ment for the baby flat-tops has
never been revealed, but they prob
ably carry about half the 1000 men
allotted to big aircraft carriers. Only
260 were saved.

HOUSING, SCHOOLS, JOBS KEY
TO BETTER RACIAL RELATIONS

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-(ANP)-
The three keys to better race rela-
tions, according to a report by the
Mayors Committee on Race Rela-
tions, are housing, schools and jobs.
The report was issued through Ed
win R. Embree, subcommittee
chairman and president of the JUL
ius Rosenwald fund.
The housing report condemned
segregation and restriction of Ne
groes within the narrow confines of
the so-called black belt and pointed
out that the ''the bitterness Of forced
overcrowding is prime facor in ra-
cial pressure" as we'll as urged that
law enforcement agencies stop the
spread of vandalism against Negro
properties outside the black belt.
Housing was characterized as 'the
most pressing problem in race rela-
tions in Chicago"
Additional seats were urged for
schools within Negro communities.
"Our school system, too, has a
chance to anticipate future prob
lems," the report said. more facil-

IL just got a letter from Dorie,
she said. He don't write much, but
he said he thought he'd be home

'Dorie Miller was in the after
section of the Liscome Bay and was
not a survivor"
1t would have been interesting
for the writer to have told some of
the duties the Negro mess atten-
dants have to perform during bat
tie. They have the most dangerous
assignments, for the most part,
such as handling ammunition in the
magazine and passing shells and
powder up from the hold of the ship
for gunners. They also have other
assignments equally as dangerous.

"There was an unusual messman
on the Liscome Bay. The son of an
impoverished farmer near Waco,
Tex, he had joined the navy to help
his family earn a living.
''It was on the ill-fated Arizona
