In 1941, altogether 18 vessels were sunk or seriously damaged. Nine of the 18 were the battleships Arizona, California, Maryland, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Tennessee and West Virginia. The Utah, like the Arizona, went down with part of her crew trapped aboard.

Martin Vitousek, an associate geo-physicist at the University of Hawaii, was with his father in a light plane when the Japanese bombers and torpedo planes dipped down over the Waianae mountain range and sped across the harbor. P40s Hell! Vitousek recalls shouting to his father, "Look! P40s." And Roy L. Vitousek replied, "P40s hell! They're Japanese." Somehow, the two men got the tiny Aeronca down at Honolulu Airport, which also was used by the Army Air Corps at Hickam Field, dodged bullets as the Japanese began strafing, and made it to cover inside a hangar.

Bailey also told the court the defense would "vigorously" challenge the state's argument that, retired army Lt. Col. William E. Farber was murdered. Bailey suggested Tuesday that a coffin bearing Farber's remains collapsed "six feet under," causing a fracture in the dead man's windpipe.

It is our intention to do the same in the LBJ- coming Viet Nam money request as a major item to be pinned down before a tax decision, he was asked if the new estimate as well as a recent federal forecast that business spending on plant expansion would slow down would help him make such a decision. "The answer is yes," Johnson replied. "It gives me help.

If you are trying to find out if a decision has been made, it has not been." Johnson had a second major announcement at the session with reporters: The Federal Home Loan Bank Board will act to provide, through loans to savings and loan associations, an additional $500 million for the home mortgage market. Home-building has gone into a sharp slump because of tight money and a shortage of mortgage money. Police Chief Asks For Probe DETROIT (AP) The Police Department of Detroit the nation's fifth largest city today faced a grand jury probe requested by its chief.

Carl Coppolino's defense attorney said today he believed his client vtas having an affair with Mrs. Marjorie Farber, wife of the young doctor's alleged murder victim. Defense Counsel F. Lee Bailey made the remark during questioning of the ninth juror selected thus far. The juror, George Philips, a Ukrainian-born mining engineer from Matawan, N.J., told the court he suspect Cop-polino was intimate with Mrs.

Farber, who is 18 years older than Coppolino. "I suspect it's true, too," Bailey said. Asked whether he might be influenced by any extra-marital activity mentioned during the trial, Philips jokingly answered, "well, I step out of line myself." The packed courtroom, including the judge, exploded in laughter. Wholesale Food Prices Fall, Report NEW YORK (AP) Wholesale food prices dropped sharply this week, spurred by big drops in prices of ham and eggs, Dun Bradstreet Inc. reported today.

Total cost or one pound each of 31 foodstuffs was $6.55, down from $6.60 last week and $6.82 last year. Lower wholesale prices may show up in lower consumer prices this winter. Steers, hogs, milk, cheese, pork bellies, rye, wheat and flour all were lower this week at wholesale. Cocoa was up substantially. Butter, sugar, peanuts, corn and barley also were higher.

Anti-War Sign: QgQ Qft For Lyndotf COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) Some 250 students crammed into the lobby of the University of Maryland student union today and shouted in defense of Marine recruitment on campus being protested by the Studeuts for a Democratic Society. The students overturned a table set up by the SDS opposite a table containing a Marine display urging students to join the Marines. "Kill the Communists," the students chanted. An SDS sign read: "Lose A Leg For Lyndon." Two Marine recruiters stood rigidly at attention, their jaws clamped, and said nothing.

Highways To Counties DES MOINES (AP) The Iowa Highway Commission plans to ask the 1967 legislature to turn back to the counties much of the road mileage now maintained by the state as part of the primary highway system. This was disclosed Tuesday by Chairman Harry Bradley of Des Moines at the state budget hearings in which the commission sought xt 41 per cent Increase in its budget. The proposal as explained by Bradley would mean that a road could not remain in the primary system unless it carried at least 900 vehicles a day. This is more than double the minimum traffic standard mentioned in one section of the law as the figure applying to a primary road. Years CHJ.

Donald, 204 VAN VAN VAN EN Viet- attacked by a Viet Cong suicide force last weekend. The explosive charges vtere disarmed by demolition experts. Shortly after the assassination of Tran Van Van, police seized a youth of about 20 named Vo Van En and after questioning him all day announced he had confessed he was a Viet Cong ordered to kill Van. There was speculation, however, that slaying might have an affect on the running feud between politicians native to South Viet Nam and the refugees from North Viet Nam who dominate the government. Ky and most of the generals on the ruling junta are from the north.

Appeal To Sectionalism Tran Van Van was a leading member of the southern faction and ran for the Constituent Assembly on a platform that openly appealed to southern sectionalism. On the war front, U.S. Pilots flew 70 strike missions over North Viet Nam Tuesday, hitting at lines of communications and storage areas in the Hanoi, Haiphong and Dien Bien Phu areas and in the southern panhandle. Air Force pilots reported knocking out a bridge 78 miles northeast of Dien Bien Phu, and Navy fliers claimed hits on 10 cargo barges 45 miles northwest of coastal Dong Hoi. The U.S.

command announced that one of two American jets lost over North Viet Nam Monday was the victim of a Communist MIG17, and the pilot was missing. It was the first American loss credited to the Communist jets since July. Since U.S. air attacks on the north began 22 months ago, the United States has reported the loss of six planes to MIGs. U.S.

pilots have reported downing 26 of the Red jets and probably two more. Sept. 15 as a move to try to force Meany into taking overt action against the auto workers. The AFL-CIO constitution provides for automatic suspension of the union if it fails to pay its dues for three consecutive months, which, in the case of the auto workers, will expire Dec. 15.

But a federation source said some unions have gone up to six months without making their per capita payments without being suspended and that past precedents make the constitutional provision some-Wiat "hazy" in practice. "This organization has never been run like the army," one AFL-CIO source said, in hinting there would be no drastic move to force the auto workers out of the federation.

Dangling Car Chained The first three cars of the train had reached the Indiana Avenue station, so the passengers had trouble getting down to the ground.

The dangling car was chained to the elevated structure to keep it from falling on its side. A newsman saw a section of rail, more than 30 feet long, underneath the car that came to rest on its side, indicating it had ripped up the tracks before the plunge. Electric power was cut off on the elevated system in the area. Traffic halted temporarily south of Roosevelt Road, a mile south of the main business district. Buses were rushed into the district to carry passengers.

The CTA estimated that at least 20,000 riders were inconvenienced. A CTA spokesman said employes recall only two instances since 1908 when cars hopped off the elevated structure. TIMES DEMOCRAT Vol. 112 No. 54 Published daily, Includlne Sunday, at 114 I.

Reuther's UAW Falls Behind In Labor Dues reproductions from Beam's Choice suitable for drinking WASHINGTON (AP -Sources in the AFL-CIO confirmed today that Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers union is some $250,000 behind in per capita payments to the Labor Federation. The federation, however, did not appear in any hurry to invoke the constitutional provision to oust the 1.5 million member auto workers, the biggest single union in the AFL-CIO.

Reuther has been feuding in recent months with AFL-CIO President George Meany and has declared his union would take a more indepen-'ent course of "greater militancy," but would not walk out of the AFL-CIO. Some source in the federation viewed the auto workers "failure to pay its dues since This Holiday season, Beam's Choice Bourbon is available in special Collector's Edition Decanters featuring paintings by Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec Cezanne and Frans Hals, lavishly gift-wrapped in individual cartons, at the same price as our year-round bottle.
