Next morning, the secretary told a press conference, American motor torpedo boats and planes from our Guadalcanal airfield in the Solomons went out where the destroyers had been and sank all the drums could find. The secretary said the Japanese destroyer squadron had been under attack for about 275 miles during its approach to Guadalcanal with the purpose of landing supplies and possibly reinforcements for the Japanese virtually stranded there.

Originally there were 10 destroyers. They were attacked early Sunday afternoon south of Shortland island by a flight of army Flying Fortresses which, however, observed no bomb hits. This attack was reported Sunday in a navy communique which also described an attack by dive bombers on a destroyer detachment northwest of Rendova island, which is about 200 miles from Guadalcanal. Knox said the destroyers attacked at Rendova and those attacked south of Shortland were the same and that the eight which survived the dive bomber assault--one was set afire and one was probably sunk were the same eight which Monday's navy communique described as having reached the "vicinity" of northwestern Guadalcanal where the Japanese forces are concentrated. Knox said the "best information we have is that they didn't make a landing but were driven off." Gas Rationing Sabotage Laid To a Governor WASHINGTON, D.

C. (AP) Price Administrator Leon Henderson Monday night accused Gov. Sam H. Jones of Louisiana of "direct encouragement violation" of gasoline rationing regulations. Henderson made public a letter to the governor which he described as a reply to a letter sent by Jones to U.

S. Goodman, Louisiana OPA administrator and local rationing boards in the state. Jones said in his letter. dated Dec. 1, that "eastern interests" had imposed gasoline rationing in states of plentiful gasoline and "it is up to us to make the best of a bad situation until the bureaucrats see fit to relax the harsh regulation." Henderson wrote Jones that: "The plain purpose of your letter is to influence our local boards omit the careful balancing of interests required by the regulations, and to issue gasoline coupons where the particular facts may not justify the action.

"I can only hope that the people of Louisiana reject in anger your attempt to and destroy the administration measures which the government has determined to be essential to victory." Jones predicted that it would be impossible to apply in his state solution that has miserably failed in the east." Except on the east coast, Henderson said, "gasoline is not rationed to conserve gasoline; it is rationed to save rubber." And he added: "Nor was nation wide mileage rationing imposed sense by 'eastern It was demanded by the critical shortage of rubber."

Goodland was Pellogized, his record as mayor of Racine praised, and his attributes as a lieutenant governor pointed out by his neighbors.

He said the ODT then sent the bus company a questionnaire on which it was to show need for new buses. Montgomery produced a copy of the ODT's questionnaire.

It listed the reasons in the following order: 1. To start new service to military and naval establishments. 2. To augment existing service to military and naval establishments. 3.

To start new service to vital defense industries. 4. To augment existing service to vital defense industries. 5. To augment service generally due to effects of normal growth, gasoline and tire rationing, etc.

6. To replace worn out equipment. Montgomery said that service to Truax field is adequate SO that Madison could qualify, for new buses from the bus pool only. under the fifth reason- augment service generally. He also said that the transportation of soldiers to and from Truax field while they are not on duty is not "essential to the war effort." FDR Enlarges Power of ODT WASHINGTON (AP) Pres.

Roosevelt enlarged the authority of the Office of Defense, Transportation Monday to "all domestic transportation within the territories and possessions of the United States," including local bus and streetcar services. In an executive order, the Pres. also provided for the "requisitioning of property" by ODT, in accordance with procedures previously set up by him. The new order specifically authorized the ODT to help federal. state and local governments and private organization: in surveying and planning for transportation or the movement of personnel to and from war plants, giving consideration to agriculture as well as industrial.

military and naval and essential civiliar needs. The ODT also must review and approve any contracts or arrangements made for the purchase, lease, requisition or use of new or used local al transportation equipment necessary tc supply transportation to war plants and establishments. The ODT will advise the War Production board on the allocation of new equipment and procedures for transfer and placement of used equipment. No federal agency or private firm, except common carriers, can complete arrangements from now on for the acquisition or use of local passenger transportation equipment without first giving notice to the ODT. which can ask that it be allowed to review and approve the transaction.

Sub Rescues 29 From Island Held by Enemy (from Page 1) anese. The missionaries had heard of the presence of white women on the island. The task of rescuing the group became a race against time. Just before New Year's day information was received that the Japanese planned to send a strong detachment to capture the missionaries after two enemy onsets had sent the whites scurrying into the for safety. brush, two methods of effecting the rescue were feasibleeither by air or submarine.

The underwater craft was chosen. Messages were dispatched to this craft, which was unable to reply lest it give away its position. Thus progress of the daring plan to evacuate those endangered would not be determined. It is known now, however. that the submarine commander received and carried out the orders.

The submarine reached the rendezvous exactly on schedule. It stood close to shore, and took the refugees aboard at night after replying to a re signal. Originally it had been planned to make a second attempt the following night if the initial try was unsuccessful. As it turned out that would have been tragic, for the morning after the fleeing party was placed aboard the sub a large number of Japs landed. Forty-eight hours after the submarine slipped away from the scene the commander's first laconic announcement of success was received.

A day later the group was transferred to an American patrol vessel in friendly waters and was immediately taken to Australia. The names and. addresses of those rescued are not known at this time.

Becker, in explaining the need for addtional work on the fats salvage drive, told the meeting: "The industry has done a good job on its part of the work, but housewives are not bringing grease in to the markets in sufficient quantities.

We know rationing will reduce the supply of surplus fats, but we have had help from only 5 per cent of the women. If 50 per cent co-operate, and we get only a third as much from each family, can triple then supply. If the women knew the need for the glycerine from these fats, they'd bring it in with wheelbarrows. Since they are slow to realize the need, we must make contributions easier. "We do not ask anyone to stop selling their fat to meat markets if they now do so.

We are only trying to reach those persons who are now throwing away fats and greases." Tells Possibilities A. P. Desormeaux, Madison salvage chairman for the county civilian defense counsil. told the meeting that if one pound of grease becomes available monthly from each Madison home. the city will furnish 18,000 pounds per month for munitions.

Mayor James R. Law, who also spoke briefly, told the meeting that he hoped Madison and Dane county could earn a fats and salvage pennant award to match the one received for metal salvage efforts. The pennant, which will flown beneath the American flag over the county courthouse, was presented Becker to Mayor Law and County Board Chairman Frank Stewart, Verona, co-chairmen of the Dane county civilian defense council, and Desormeaux and A.

Dane county, he said, averaged 131 Wisconsin pounds per person, helping to gain place in the WPB's sixth region, which also includes, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana.

In the period from July through October. Wisconsin collected 64.7 per cent of its quota for the last six months of 1942. Becker said. while the average attained by all states was 57.7 per cent. The WPB official warned, that all salvage efforts constantly maintained for the duration of the war.

The Capital Times is glad to learn that the Wisconsin League of Women Voters is all set to "start again from scratch" in its efforts in behalf of government reform in Wisconsin.

We have a letter from Mrs Harold Lampert, president of the Madison league, which says: "We are hoping that the 1943 legislature will again start the processes essary for amending the constitution so as to permit improvements in the form of government of counties in which the present supervisor system has become cumbersome. The league has worked for such an amendment for many vears We were encouraged when the 1939 legislature adepted a resolution looking toward the amendment, very much discouraged when the resolution was killed by the adjournment of the 1941 session. Now we are starting again 'from We realize that your newspaper has enormous influence, and we hope you will give as much. support you can to the proposed amendment." The League of Women Voters can be assured that The Capital Times is 100 per cent behind its efforts in this respect. We submit that the picture here in Dane county, with a topheavy county board second in size to only one in the United States, is reason enough to convince anyone that a change is needed.

Nazi Airforce Losing Punch In No. Africa Hitler Maps Elaborate Defense to Retain Tunisia (from Fage 1) tarily as the blows of the German force. 6-French troops are fighting with great gallantry, particularly at Pont de Fahs and in the south along a winding irregular line through the mountains toward Gafsa. 7-The Germans are making great preparations for the defense of their positions in Tunisia. One hindrance the Allied drive is the terrain, which, next weather, is the key to the situation.

It resembles that of Arizona, with fewer trees and with great mountains of rock cut by narrow twisting roads. Enemy Air Power Weaker There are great plateaus in central Tunisia where the roads run from 50 to 60 miles without turning. Along these roads war chariots raced hundreds of years ago. Now sleek Lightning fighters whisk down them a few feet over the camels driven by Arabs. But where 100 Stukas once appeared, only 15 now appear.

Where 40 Axis fighters flew, only four now fly. When they are challenged by the RAF and American fighters they quickly disappear. The Germans obviously are husbanding their waning strength. In dry weather Tunisia's great plateaus provide a hundred flying for the asking, but now these fields must be created with thousands of tons of wire netting brought hundreds of miles by trucks. Even with these.

I have seen Spitfires land in 6 inches of over the cockpit as the plane water which sprayed 2 feet cainte in. On the other hand, the Allied bomber attack has been one of the most consistent of the war. Able to pick and choose from fields well behind the lines, American smash down on the Gerbombers, Bizerte, Tunis, Sfax, Gabes and Sousse by day while bombers from the Middle East command it by night. In the north of Tunisia, the war has gone into wet and miserable trenches along the ridges as in World war days. No Definite Battle Line In the south, there is no linejust a series of strong by the French, British parachutists and scattered American troops.

The Germans use gliders to drop their patrols behind these strong points for guerrilla raids while American and French patrols often penetrate deep into the enemy lines on similar raids. It is dangerous and exciting country where one never knows while dr driving along whether parachutists or glider troops have mined the read or bridge just ahead. For every four bombs dropped by the Germans on Bone or behind Allied lines. British and American bombers drop 40. This ration is increasing and when it can be co-ordinated with a tank attack it can be a deciding factor.

Gen. Walther Nehring, the German commander in Tunisia, recognizes this and he is conserving air strength which has been estimated at about 1,000 planes in Tunisia, southern Italy, Sardinia, Sicily and Tripoli.

Front-line dispatches also said that there was still intermittent fighting in the Buna sector where 50 more Japs had been killed in mopping-up operations.

American clean-up squads crisscrossing the swamplands between Buna government station and Giropa Point, Monday counted the bodies Japs killed when the enemy's organized resistance in this area was broken, the previous day, in addition the 50 slain in the mop-up itself.

Say Davidson Immune From All Prosecution Arguments Set Forth In Brief to High Court On Appeal (from Page 1) idea that the groundwork was then being laid for a criminal prosecution against At the time of questioning, Davidson did not claim immunity from questioning, nor did.

Hill, his attorney who sat with him during the questioning, the brief pointed out. Cites Previous Case Hill cited the case of Murphy vs. state, based on section 325.24 of the statutes, in which Murphy, a Milwaukeean, had failed to claim immunity when being questioned by the grand jury, and was later prosecuted for bribery. The supreme court majority opinion held, according to the brief: the law, giving the cuting officers and the investigatprose- ing tribunal thee and right to demand answer, the subpena commanding attendance, the administering the oath, and the putting the question, deprive the witness of any privilege to withhold the information, or to effectively protest, and notify him that tribunal absolutely demands the testimony. A declaration that he would like to assert that privilege if he, had it, when by very proceeding he is warned that he has it not, would be so entirely futile as to be puerile." Victim of Roman Holiday Hill charged also in his brief that Davidson "was the victim of a political Romade and that "sensation" seemed to be the object of the county board committee's investigation.

Citing poor bookkeeping methods at the asylum, and discovery of errors prejudicial to Davidson as well as the county, the brief continued: "An impartial, fair appraisal of the situation would have ended the affair with the adjustment of the accounts. But that would not have served the purpose. The newspapers had been featuring the whole matter in the most sensational fashion. In Dane county public officials were denounced in the papers. They were all crooks." There is reasonable doubt Davidson intended to convert any money to his own use.

or that the false entries were evidence of intent to defraud, the brief said. "To conclude that Davidson was guilty of embezzlement or false entry, one must wholly overlook the admitted fact that he left a mile-wide trail of his alleged defalcations in the form of his bank deposit records." the brief asserted. "There has been an injustice done in this case. A man has been convicted, not of taking money, but of poor accounting That mistake should be Dist. Atty.

Norris E. will file an answering brief with the high court, which will then hear arguments before reaching a decision. Continuing.Guadalcanal (from Page 1) and southern flanks of the American position protecting Guadalcanal airfield. The immediate purpose of the advance in the vicinity of Mount Austen, a 4 miles southwest of the airfield, undoubtedly was to prevent the Japanese from bombarding the field from the heights. In the past, the Japs harassed operations at the field and shelled American positions around it with artillery located in the jungle ridges on the southwestern flank.

Last Nov. 23 marine patrol thrust deep in into the Mount Austen section to wipe out a Jap machine gun center at the village of Mambulo, on the upper Matanikau river, and kill 70 enemy troops. No attempt was made to hold the village at that time. The aerial attacks on Munda which paralelled the ground drives against the Japanese on Guadalon Jan. 4 probably were among the most thorough yet directed against that enemy airbase which lies 180 nautical miles northwest of Guadalcanal airfield.

Never before had the navy here used the term "a series of air attacks" in describing operations against the Munda area although it has been under bombardment almost since the Japanese attempted to establish it as an operating air base a month ago.
