Bombers and fighters striking out in a daylight attack on northern France reported meeting German fighters in force over the English Channel.

It was at Petras, St. John related, that he suffered a leg wound.

There, in a railroad car fairly bulging with troops, St. John sat as a Messerschmidt swept low and so close he could have touched its wing from the train window and blasted away at the occupants with blazing machine guns, At each succeeding stop, St John said. he and his companions seemed always to arrive just in time for a new bombing venture of the Luftwaffe and to see great funeral pyres and horrible wreckage.

Later he was an engineer in various capacities with the Hudson River, New York Central, West Virginia Central and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads, and also for a time was engaged in engineering work for the District of Columbia. From 1904 until 1912 he was road engineer of Baltimore county, and then became chief engineer of the Maryland State Roads Commission where his efforts were credited in large measure for Maryland's completion of its primary road system ahead of any other state.

He was elected president of the American Association of State 'Highway Officials in December, 1914. Soon after, the declaration of war he was appointed to the committee of Highway, Transport by the Council National Defense to help in the work of expediting delivery of supplies and ammunition to training camps ocean ports. He was made executive secretary of the Federal Highway Council in Two years later Shirley returned to his old post as road engineer of Baltimore county, which he left to accept the chairmanship of the Virginia Highway Commission. Reputation Known To Other Nations Shirley's reputation as a highway engineer was known to other nations, and he attended several international highway conferences as a representative of American associations. Although he had many difficult decisions to make as head of the state highway commission, his fairness won him many friends and supporters from all political camps.

It tom to instruct the department's thousands of workers tions that they were free to vote their convictions. He guided the development of Virginia's present highway system the pay-as-you-go basis and had been a strong champion the theory of no diversions of state highway funds, which are derived chiefly from the state gasoline tax and the sale of motor vehicle license tags. Byrd High In Praise of Commissioner RICHMOND, July 16. (AP) -The death of State Highway Commissioner Henry G. Shirley brought expressions of sorrow today from high, state officials and others, many whom had known and worked with the commissioner for a great many years.

Said Senator Harry Byrd: "I have never known a more honorable man or a finer public official than Henry Shirley. I am deeply grieved as I enjoyed many years of close friendship and association with him. "His reputation was national and he was generally regarded as the outstanding highway commissioner in America. I have seen him tried and tested on numerous occasions, but I have never known him to waver in the slightest measure in doing his entirely regardless of pQlitical pressure or the momentary unpopularity of his acts. "He planned with great wisdom and foresight Virginia's highway system, and, in constructing this system without bonds, Mr.

Shirley performed, a monumental work Virginia which places him in the front rank of Virginia's benefactors. His loss is irreparable, and all Virginia will mourn his passing." Governor Price, one of the four governors who reappointed Shirley to the post which he had held since 1922, declared the commissioner's. "public service will constitute a lasting monument to his memory." The governor issued this statement: "On account of my warm friendship for Mr. -he was both my neighbor and friend JAPANESE CABINET OF PRINCE KONOYE RESIGNS EN MASSE (Continued from Page One) ready has had two terms as premier, might receive the imperial command to assemble a new cabinet from which some of the retiring ministers would be omitted. The cabinet said it stepped down because it felt keenly "the necessity of a rapid strengthening of the domestic structure as well as a drastic renovation of itself." Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka, influential in aligning Japan with the axis in the Berlin treaty of Sept.

27, 1940, and who personally signed the neutrality accord of April 13 at Moscow, was absent because of illness from the emergency net session which preceded action. Washington Predicts Weakening of Axis Ties WASHINGTON, July 16. (AP)Striving to fathom the meaning of Japan's cabinet crisis, some diplomats hazarded the prediction tonight that Tokyo's close ties with the axis probably would be weakened in favor of a more independent policy. Whether the resignation of Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye's government increased or lessened the possibility of war in the Pacific was uncertain on the basis of preliminary, reports from Tokyo the formation of a new cabinet. There was no immediate tendency in diplomatic quarters to hail the cabinet's fall as the death knell of the Tripartite pact.

With the Russo-German fighting still undecided, it was considered doubtful that Japan was ready to risk an abrupt break with Germany. But the view most generally held was that Japan's pro-axis foreign policy was SO confused as a result of the German attack on Russia whom Japan has a "neutrality" agreement -that it was deemed essential to adopt a more independent policy: One of two courses was believed likely to result from change of government: go 1. Formation of a "wait and see" cabinet not bound up completely with axis policy and able to move in whatever direction war developments indicated. 2. Creation of still more militaristic regime, perhaps bent on an immediate move into French in preparation for a "later drive southward against British Malaya and the Netherlands East Indies.

A southward move was considered more likely at this time than a drive to seize the Siberian province of Russia. In apparent anticipation that Japan might yet break away from axis, the United States them in recent months has steered a course designed to prevent further deterioration in AmericanJapanese relations. This has been noticeable especially since President Roosevelt, in his May 27 fireside address, failed to include Japan strong denunciation of Germany. The United States also has refrained from imposing a complete embargo on oil shipments to Japan, apparently in the belief that such action might spur Japanese militarists attempt to at. seize the rich Netherlands East Indies.

REDS ACKNOWLEDGE ENEMY NOW WITHIN 230 MILES CAPITAL (Continued from Page One) tions as to how the Russians would fare against Hitler's forces, there were signs of a cautious optimism raised by reports from the British military mission in Russia that Soviet aviation was still very much intact and holding its own in the vast reaches over the eastern front. Moreover-and this if it comes to pass will be of the highest importance of all--the Soviet ambassador to Britain, Ivan Maisky, made what amounted to a Russian pledge that come whatever disaster the Red armies would if necessary retire to the fastnesses of Asiatic Russia and fight on and on.

The day brought a number of political-diplomatic developments of which the most intriguing was the resignation of the entire Japanese cabinet of Prince Fumimaro Konoye -the government that tied Japan up in the German-Italian alliance, and also signed a neutrality accord with Russia. The resultant speculation raised three possibilities: That Japan might be planning to cooperate even more closely with the axis. That, wholly to the contrary, the intention might be to turn away, That, after all, it might be just a case of politicians red-faced over the embarrassment of the German invasion of Russia. The retiring cabinet said it was quitting to permit hte forof a government more capable of "coping with the everchanging world situation." A second development was Vichy's appointment of General Maxime Weygand, the North African high commander, to' be governor general of Algeria as well. This suggested that the reactivated British drive.

PRICE ASKS RULING ON CHANGE IN TIME Governor Doubtful of His Authority to Establish Daylight Saving Time RICHMOND, July 16. (AP) -Governor Price referred to Attorney General A. P. Staples today the question whether he has authority to establish daylight saving time in Virginia, as requested President Roosevelt. The president asked Governor Price and seven other southern governors to proclaim daylight saving time "if it is legally possible to do so." Governor Price said he was in "full accord" with the president's program and was "very anxious" to carry it out in Virginia, but first he to be sure- of his legal authority, He was under the impression, he said, that legislative action would be required to establish a new time schedule throughout the state as a whole.

The governor discussed the problem over the telephone today with the governor of North would go as far Carolina, and said each ofulthem carrying out the president's suggestion. DARDEN WOULD SERVE FULL FOUR- TERM HARRISONBURG, July 16. (AP)-Colgate W. Darden, said today that, if chosen the next governor of Virginia, he will serve his four year term and "under no circumstances" resign it to fill any vacancy that may occur in the United States Senate. The candidate visited Harrisonburg today in furtherance of his campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.

Senator Vivian Page, in a radio address here Monday, predicted that if Darden elected governor and a vacancy occurred in the Senate, Darden would resign at Richmond and "go to Washington." "I have every intention of serving my four year term as governor if the people of Virginia honor me with that office," Darden said. "Under no circumstances would I resign and fill any vacancy in the United States Senate." Darden said he would recommend that the General Assembly set aside a "sizeable portion" of the state treasury surplus as a contingent fund for any emergencies which arise after the present national emergency. There will be then a decline in revenues and in personal and corporation incomes, he said. FREIGHT TRAIN DERAILED LOUISVILLE, July 16. (P) -Five cars of a Louisville and Nashville freight train were derailed near Mt.

Vernon, early today, the chief dispatcher's office said. No trainmen were hurt. Some trackage was torn up and traffic over the LouisvilleCorbin line was halted but it was expected the line would be openedue noon. A passenger here this morning from Corbin was rerouted through Lexington. Italian Libya which is imminently expected might in time be headed toward Algeria itself.

A third was a report from Ankara that German Ambassador Franz Von Papen, a sort of runpolitical quarterback for Hitler in the middle east, had been whispering to the Turks that the Germans would like under certain circumstances to send across Asiatic Turkey supplies for German troops in the Russian Caucasus. This, it was understood, Von Papen asked only in event of decisive Nazi successes by September. The Turks were said to have been nog, non-committal. the western front, Britain's aerial offensive went on vigorously. Bombers attacked occupied France yesterday afternoon and again last night and some British pilots brought back reports that they had been engaged over the channel by German fighter planes in force.

This appeared to support the earlier declaration of an authoritative British source that Hitler was withdrawing fighter craft from the Russian front in an effort to slow the British down. Last night, the British air ministry announced that a ship and "many others" were hit by bombs in a heavy raid on the Rotterdam docks.
