Axis Sources Try
To Blow Up Event as

the announcement that Japa-

operating in the Atlantic “in
close cooperation with the
axis navies.”

“It does not have the vice of re-

However, Thomas told reporters
he thought the compromise was a
“meaningless jumble of words”
and would insist on a vote first on
the amendment he and Hatch of-
fered.
There were reports, that in or-
der to avoid a prior vote on the
Thomas-Hatch proposal, the ad-
ministration leadership might
move during the day to send the
bill back to the banking commit-
tee for speedy redrafting to in-

Civilian Group
To Aid Billeting
Officer is Named
Meeting of Women’s
Club Leaders to Be
Held Monday Evening
A civilian billeting committee to
work with Lt. Thomas A. Arnold,
billeting officer for Camp Howze,
in obtaining living accommoda-
tions for army officers’ families,
was named Friday morning by Col.
J. P. Wheeler, commanding officer
of the cantonment.
Leo M. Kuehn is chairman of the
committee, and members include
W. A. Hensley, J, D. Howeth, An-
cil Smoot, Morton Smith and Wil-
liam R. Block, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The committee met Friday morn-
ing with Col. Wheeler and Lt Ar-
nold to discuss the housing situa-
tion.
It was brought out in the meet-
ing that Lt. Arnold’s list of avail-
able apartments is entirely ex-
hausted and he has only a few
rooms with kitchen privileges
listed. The officer personnel of the
camp will be more than doubled
by December 15, indicating a
greater demand for living accom-
modations in the next two months.
Plan Educational Campaign
The committee decided that an
educational campaign to acquaint
the citizens of Gainesville with the
need of sharing their homes with
army officers’ families where satis-
factory arrangements can be made,
was the most urgent need at the
moment.
Lt Arnold said he had learned
that some people had not listed
their living units with his office
because they had the false impres-
sion that he set rental prices on
their property. He explained that
it was not his duty to set the price
on any rent property, that being
the duty of the OPA when an ad-
ministrator is established here.
It was decided to ask represent-
atives of all women’s organizations,
including federated clubs, church
societies and Parent-Teacher asso-
ciations to meet Monday at 8
o’clock with the committee in the
Chamber of Commerce office.
At that meeting, the situation
will be explained in detail, ques-
tions will be answered, and the
club representatives asked to take
the message back to their member-
ships at early,meetings.
It was also decided to contact the
City Pastors association, to deter-
mine if the ministers would make
appeals from their pulpits to their
members to arrange accommoda-
tions in their homes for soldiers'
families.
Lt. Arnold’s office is in the
Chamber of Commerce, and his
telephone number is 41. All, per-
sons having accommodations for
army families are urged to tele-
phone him at once. He is interested
in houses and apartments that are
now occupied but will be vacant
any time between now and Decem-
ber 15.

Handling Case
rine having arrived in Atlantic wa-
ters, the German high command
seized on the announcement to de-
clare that “Japanese warships”
had made contact with axis forces
in the Atlantic.
In London, British naval observ-
ers said any suggestion that Japa-
Douglas MacArthur was ordered
to Australia, was taken with the
fall of Corregidor on May 6. His
fate and that of more than 6,000
others last reported on Bataan and
Corregidor has since been in doubt.
Those in the partial list of pris-
oners included Maj. Gen. William
F. Sharp, Monkton, Md., .com-
mander of the American-Filipino
forces on the souther island of
Mindanao; Brig. Generals Lewis C.
Beebe, a native of Ashton, Iowa;
Clinton A. Pierce, Sierre Madre,
Calif., and Fidel V. Segundo, of the
Philippine army. %
Other Leaders Named
Others named included Maj.
Thomas J. H. Trapnell, Baltimore,
Md., holder of the distinguished
service cross for heroism in blow-
ing up a bridge in the face of heavy
enemy fire; and Col, Jesse Tray-
wick, Montgomery, Ala., credited
by the Japanese with communi-
cating their terms of surrender to
General Sharp in Mindanao after
Corregidor’s fall.
Only one American has been of-
ficially listed by the War depart-
ment as a prisoner to the Philip-
pines. He is Capt Kenneth Hoeffel,
Cambridge, Mass,, commander of
the defending naval forces, whose

added: ' •
“Soviet relief attacks against
the northern barrier erected by
German and allied troops were re-
pulsed in hard fighting.”
This was the third successive day
that the German command noted
severe defensive fighting against
the Russian counter - offensive
north of the city.
Coupled with the blow to the
nazi left wing, the Russians de-
clared that German assaults inside
the battle-tom Volga metropolis
again faltered and broke.
“The Germans got into several
houses, creating a threat to our
flanks,” Red army headquarters
said in its mid-day bulletin. “So-
viet troops counterattacked and re-
stored the situation.
“Northwest of Stalingrad, Ger-
man attacks were repulsed. So-
viet tank crews destroyed two
German tanks and wiped out about
two enemy companies (approxi-
mately 1,000 men).
“In fighting for a populated
place, our troops wiped out about
500 Germans, took prisoners and
captured war material.”
Civilians join Battle
Civilians of Stalingrad were re-
ported swarming out of their cel-
lars, factory shelters and caves in
the Volga cliffs to help turr back
the nazi tide. Thousands had al-
ready been withdrawn across the
river, when Stalingrad’s fall seem-
ed inevitable, but others refused to
leave.

LOS ANGELES. - Superior

A lawyer asked Charles K.

These quarters said the Japanese
navy already had its hands full in
the Pacific, and that the north and
south Atlantic were too well
guarded by allied navies for a Jap-
anese surface flotilla to enter those
waters undetected.
Seen As Propaganda Move
British informants said it would
not be difficult for Japan to send
a submarine into the Atlantic, per-
haps using Vichy-French Mada-
gascar island as a refueling‘base,
but declared:
"If a 10,000-mile trip like that
were carried out, it was undoubt-
edly done just for its propaganda
value.
“It’s like sending a delegate to
an international conference—the
Japanese just didn’t want to be
left out of an important battle
area.”
The Japanese announcement said
the operations of the Japanese
navy in the Atlantic were “paral-
lel to a German naval operation in
the Indian ocean,” which was not
elaborated upon, and "highly sig-
nificant as they” represent joint
Japanese-axis naval operations
against the anti-axis powers.”
Some observers pointed out that
if Japan actually had sent impor-
tant naval forces into the Atlan-
tic, she would be unlikely to de-
stroy their surprise value by ad-
vertising the fact.
