Details of the raid were lacking from official sources but head' quarters of U. S. Army Air Forces In the Middle East said the Ameri.

can bombers which backed up the British aerial squadrons engaged in "one of their most extensive operations" of the Middle Eastern campaign. Heaviest Raids The RAF Middle East news serV' ice said that the attacks were the heaviest night raids of the Middle East campaign and that fires were Started among naval fuel tanks and other installations. One explosion was so violent that planes were rocked while flying at 10,000 the news service said. South African and Australian planes also participated in the attacks, it added. While the forces, which landed in Commando-style, also blew up harbor installations and stores, the planes swooped out over the port and attacked enemy encampments in the desert.

When they finished the desert darkness was pitted with fires. The American Air Force communique said that no Axis night fighters were encountered, but that considerable anti-aircraft fire was directed at the raiding planes. Italian Claims (A Rome broadcast quoted the Italian high command as saying that four British destroyers, a cruiser and several small naval and landing craft were sunk and another light crluser damaged during and after the Tobruk raid. (Italians took 576 prisoners, and killed and wounded were several hundred more, the high command said. Italian casualties were described as light.) Set Wage Rates For Farm Workers WASHINGTON, Sept.

16 fiP) Secretary Wickard anounced Tues day of prevailing wage rate to be paid farm workers transported to Western New York state to aid in harvesting apples, peaches, tomatoes, beans and potatoes. The rates were established at 50 cents an hour in Monroe county, 45 cents In Wayne, Niagara, Or leans and Genesee counties and 35 cents in Chautauqua and Erie counties. Piece rate equivalents for these wages also were set up. Already more than 600 workers have been transported by the government to five Farm Security migratory labor camps in New York. WASHINGTON, Sept.

18 IPh-Secretary of State Hull Tuesday told a press conference that mass deportation of refugees from unoccupied France was "revolting and fiendish," and then' summoned Vichy's Ambassador Gaston Henry-Haye to inform him of the United States government's attitude. In addition Hull told reporters and the envoy that the reported plan of Vichy for the wholesale shipment of French laborers to Germany, if carried out, would be considered aid to an enemy of the United States and inconsistent with the obligations of France under international law. In his conversation with Henry-Haye, it was learned, Hull expressed unqualified condemnation of mass deportation of Jews from unoccu pied France. Although no text of the secretary's remarks to the ambassador was made public, in talk with reporters he referred indirectly to the Laval, government's reported agreement to deport at least 10,000 Jews from refugee camps by Sept. 15.

He recalled that today was the deadline for carrying out these measures against "unfortunates who sought to obtain refuge in France in accordance with its traditional hospitality." "These policies," he said, "include delivery of these unhappy people to enemies who have announced, and in considerable measure executed, their Intention to enslave, maltreat, and eventually ex terminate them under conditions of the most extreme cruelty. The tails of the measures taken are so revolting and so fiendish in their nature that they defy adequate Conscription Decree The secretary then turned to the question of Vichy's new labor conscription under which all men between 18 and 50 and all un married women between 20 and 35 were made subject to compulsory labor "in the Interests of the state." He Indicated the State. Depart ment still waited to see whether the new decree was an attempt to achieve by compulsion "what Chief of Government Pierre Laval at terhpted by persuasion some months ago when he appealed for 350,000 French workers to volunteer for employment in Germany under a German promise to release one French prisoner of war for every three French workers to volunteer, This volunteer plan "seems to have jfailed," Hull remarked.

IS (IP) MaRoffin county's failure to pay its debts was aired in Circuit Court here Tuesday as attorneys fought over the legality of the county's old bonds and the state's right to refuse to approve a refunding plan. The county's obligations were listed as $40,000 in old road and bridge and other bonds, interest on them and unbonded floating debts. The case came up on petition of Magoffin county and the Lincoln National Bank and Trust Company, Louisville, for the court to require state local finance officer Harry R. Lynn to approve refunding the whole debt in new bonds with extended maturity periods.

Lynn declared approval would be "premature" and that he would wait until present Macoffin officials made good on their promises to economies and collect taxes and show that they could make the annual payments required under the plan. His refusal ruling declared that for years Magoffin had assessed property at "less than half its actual value," that "no effort" had been made to collect taxes in many cases, that the county Fiscal Court had "carelessly" approved claims and the records had been so poorly kept that the county budget had to be based on "guesswork and hopes."

16 UP) Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the War Production Board Tuesday ordered fuel oil rationing on the Atlantic seaboard and In 13 middle western states to take effect during the coming season. Nelson predicted that the rations would reduce normal winter use of fuel oil as much as 25 per cent but explained that definite figures on the curtailment could not be given at present. Until rationing starts Nov. 30, deliveries of fuel oil will be under controls In 30 eastern and middle western states and the District of Columbia.

Beginning Oct. 1, no deliveries may be made without a written guarantee from the consumer that he will surrender ration coupons to be issued subsequently under the ration plan equivalent to any deliveries. Stales Affected In addition to the Atlantic seaboard, fuel oil will be rationed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kentucky. Nelson said that changes In the fuel oil situation might require expansion of the ration area in the future. The coupon rationing system, which will be administered by the Office of Price Administration, will vary in different regions.

The OPA is expected to announce details soon. It has worked for weeks on the plans. From tomorrow until Sept. 30 any fuel oil tank used for heating, cooling, or water heating equipment in a private dwelling may be filled to capacity, providing the capacity does not exceed 275 gallons. In other than private dwellings, fuel storage tanks may be filled to 50 per cent of capacity.

Tennessee Unaffected Tennessee and Oklahoma were considered, but left out of the rationing area, because of the small number of oil burners in those states. "In converting, convert from oil to coal," Nelson advised. "Do not rely on gas or electrical heating devices as there will be a shortage of both gas and electricity in some portions this winter. Those who decide to convert their fuel oil burners can be assured of adequate coal supplies. The necessary arrangements, such as the purchase of coal and diversion equipment, should not be delayed." Users of fuel oil who are not able to convert to coal should give immediate attention to weather-proofing, he said, to reduce fuel consumption of heating fuels.

Burrow, state industrial relations commissioner, praised the Kentucky Federation of Labor Tues day at its annual convention for its part in helping to reduce the number of strikes. Burrow said the assistance of the "federation' during the past year has been very satisfactory" in discussing efforts to curtail strikes in Kentucky. He said that with organized labor's cooperation a sustantial reduction had. been accomplished. 'There is no excuse now for any work stoppages and the federation's no-strike policy has done wonders," he added in stating that the work of his department since Pearl Har bor had been concentrated on eliminating production delays.

Burrow declared "there wouldn have been any loss of man hours if the locals had listened to their federation officers." The industrial commissioner told the delegates they would, have the opportunity next year of voting on a constitutional amendment providing for compulsory workmen's compensation. He urged the fed eration to give its full support to the' measure when the opportunity arose.

WORD EN AN ALASKAN ARMY BASE, Sept 7 IP) (Delayed) American fighter planes have strafed Japanese shipping and men on Kiska for the first time since the Island was occupied. The spectacular raid by two fighters followed a bomber trip made by Brig. Gen.

William Butler, commander of the Alaskan air force, who led a low-level attack three days previously. Butler's three craft straddled several cargo vessels in the harbor with near misses, and escaped into the clouds before the Jap gunners recovered from the surprise of seeing planes at almost eyelevel. The raiders also strafed a column of troops ashore and hit installations. The fighters, which took, part in subsequent raid, have such small cockpits that the smaller men of the air force are chosen to fly them. Eagle Squadrons To Join American Flying Forces LONDON, Sept.
