Lt. Chase of the Army Air Force, in listing seven of the dead, said that he was not sure whether any others were in the plane. The dead (addresses unavailable): First Lieut.

Conner at the Boston Navy yard today—with her mother helping hold the champagne bottle —and then walked away with a teddy bear in her arms, the gift of Navy yard employes. The Conner was named after the little girl’s great-great-grand father, Commodore David Conner, USN, who served aboard the U. S.S. Hornet in 1813 during battles with the British warships Belvi dere and Peacock. Also launched at the Navy yard today was the destroyer U.S.S. Hall, christened by Mrs. Elizabeth William Greenleaf, of Stratford. Conn., and named in honor of Lieut. Elijah Hall, who sailed on the Ranger and commanded the prize crew which took the British sloop-of-war Drake to Brest, France, during the war of 1812. 4 -V Photos Show Japanese Missed Radio Station In Dutch Harbor Raid WASHINGTON. July 18. — tiP) — Some pictorial evidence of what the Japanese bombers hit—and missed— in their June attack on Alaska’s Dutch Harbor came today from the Navy. A dense cloud of thick black smoke rolling up from a burning oil tank showed one score for the en emy, but the same Navy photograph also revealed two radio towers, standing apparently undamaged close to the bombed fuel supply. Her hull blown askew and warped by fire, the station ship Northwest ern was shown in another photo graph. Fire and bombs got her, but she did not sink because she already was beached for use as storage be fore the Japanese bombers paid their visits on June 3 and 4. ___—v DRUM BANS FLYING IN EASTERN AREA (Continued trom Pare One) command, ordered the following air activity discontinued: “Civil flying training, including civil pilot training schools. “Civil photographic, news, com muting, pleasure and other mis cellaneous civil flights. “Army and Navy primary, bas ic, and advanced 'lying training, other than operational training,” All other aircraft flying out side a five-miles radius from the center of the airport were or dered to submit a flight plan and upon approval adhere strictly to it. The “vital defense area,” Gen. Drum declared, “will include that portion of the eastern air de fense zone east of the line drawn from Weston, Me., through Sebago, Me.; Grafton, Mass.; Pawling, N. Y.; Sussex, N. J.; Pottsville, Pa.; Middleburg, Va.; Franklin, Va.; to Corrolla, N. C„ and shall extend 200 miles to sea.” The order also stipulated that the airways for a “distance of 30 miles in all directions” from nine radio range stations be narrowed to a width of six miles. Stations named were Portland, Me.; Bos ton, Mass.; Providence, R. I.; Hartford, Conn.; Elizabeth, N. J.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Washington, D. C.; Norfolk, Va.. and Charleston, S. C. “All civil air carriers operat ing within 30 miles of the above radio range stations shall make certain that no passenger can see the ground until the aircraft has landed or has reached beyond the 30-miles point,” the order said. “Aircraft on point to point flight within the area, shall follow the civil airway except when the re gional commander concerned de termines that the route between the point of origin and the de stination is so circuitous as to ren der such procedure impractic able.” Gen. Drum also gave the fol lowing restrictions to govern non combat planes and combat planes not directed to intercept or at tack the enemy in the case of an “alert” or “air raid alarm”: “Airplanes on the ground shall remain on the ground. “Airplanes flying locally shall land immediately. “Airplanes flying on flight plans shall land, turn back or proceed as directed by the commanding general, fighter command.” The order also said that "au thority to order blackouts and to susDend radio broadcasts and other radio emissions is hereby dele gated to the commanding general, «»hter command ” NOT SO JUVENILES Adult appearing Jane Withers, 16, and Freddie Bartholomew, 18 get movie contracts approved in a Los Angeles court. Freddie has been out of pictures during the gawky age, hut now tries a comeback AMERICAN AIR FORCE SMASHES AT TOBRUK (Continued from Page One) and the western Mediterranean to aid his outnumbered Nazi air force). The British, in turn, made ever greater use of Royal navy planes against Axis land forces. These navy fliers fiercely attacked Axis concentrations Thursday night be tween the coastal road and the shore west of the British positions Other naval aircraft destroyed thousands of gallons of gasoline at Axis-held Matruh. The RAF itself concentrated chiefly in the southern sector of the front, and a British communi que said violent explosions and fires were touched off among Axis transport vehicles and tanks yester day. Five Axis planes were listed as shot down. The British los! seven but saved two of the pilots. On the ground, Australians and some South Africans moved from their Tel El Eisa position south ward to gain a second parallel ridge yesterday, but an Axis coun ter-attack forced themto withdraw from some of their gains later in the day. Tire British positions on the main ridge of Tel El Eisa re mained intact. In the central sector of the 40 mile line the Germans mounted an attack of their own with truck borne infantry, but British Indians astride the ridge of Ruweisat re pulsed them with losses. As far as was known here, there was little armored fighting Friday, it was disclosed, however, that in the course of a hot tank battle in the central sector Thursday 25 Axis tanks, mainly German, were knocked out. The British subse quently blew up 21 of these. This attrition of the Axis armor makes all the more significant the blows of the American bombers against Mediterranean shipping. MATRUH BLASTED WITH THE BRITISH NAVAL, AIR SERWCE IN EGYPT, July 18—(fP)—British naval dive-bomb ers attacking the Axis’ foremost desert sea base at Matruh last night and early today turned the jetties into sheets of flames that could be seen for 20 miles and planted heavy explosives in the heart of a concentration of 1,500 Axis tanks and vehicles. “Those oil drums on the docks exploded like firecrackers,” one returning pilot said. “We got several direct hits right in the heart of the massed trans port where tanks burst into flames,” said another who dive bombed the inland concentration. Axis laborers had unloaded thou sands of gasoline and oil drums on the Matruh docks to feed Marsha1 Rommels tanks and motorized in fantry. NEW GAINS MADE BY WRIGHTSVILLE (Continued from Page One) is still drawing tourists from many states, it is primarily a beach for Wilmington residents and an esti mated 80 per cent of the homes there are owned by Wilmington ians. In the past six years, the total valuation of beach property in creased from $1,007,015 to $1,899, 401, an increase of better than 80 per cent, it was pointed out. During the same period, the sys tem of jetties, which have done much to improve the beach, were constructed at a cost of $250,000. of which the town paid $140,000 and the Federal Emergency ad ministration of Public Works the remainder. Other improvements were ex pansion of the water and sewer system, the installation of new wells and pumping equipment, and new street construction. Despite the costs of the improve ment program, the tax rate has been reduced from $1.75 to $1.60 per hundred dollar valuation while sewer charges have been reduced from $7.50 to $5. The town is governed by the mayor and a board of aldermen, appointed by the governor of the state upon the recommendations of a town meeting under the terms of the town’s charter grant ed in 1899. Present members of the board are Louis Hanson, Dan H. Pen ton. Luther T. Rogers, and J. Rus sell Wood. One of the oldest resorts along the Atlantic coast, the beach dates back to before 1853 when the Caro-i lina Yacht club there was estab lished. In 1889 the beach had become so frequented that a steam rail way was constructed from Wil mington to Harbor Island. The railway was electrified in 1902 and served transportation needs until 1940 when a highway and a bridge was completed by the state high way department. -V Tank Maneuvers Staged Near Schofield Barracks HONOLULU, July IS. — UP) — A great simulated tank battle was fought north of Schofield Barracks today as maneuvering United States troops reported they had repulsed repeated waves of invaders in mimic warfare for the possession of Oahu island. Simulated war gases were used by the theoretical enemy whose inva sion was led by parachute troops and dive bombers. ‘Wave after wave of invaders were repulsed by counter-attacks by the defenders who utilized mecha nized and motorized units and the latest means of communication," said a communique from Lieut. Gen. Delos C. Emmons, directing the an-| nual maneuvers. -V Young Pew Plans To Wed Gas Station Attendant PHILADELPHIA, July 19—UP)— An application for a marriage li cense was filed today by Walter C. Pew, Jr., whose father is gen eral manager of the Sun Oil com pany, which is controlled by the wealthy Pew family, and Sophie Boychuck, an attendant at one of the company’s filling stations. He gave his age as 23, although friends believed him to be 19. Miss Boychuck listed her age as 22. Miss Boychuck, at work in the station in surburban Merlon, denied knowing anything about the ap plication, and to the question, ‘‘are you going to marry him,” replied: "I’m sorry, I can’t talk to you now, during business hours.’ -v Black Shank Reduces Guilford Weed Crop GREENSBORO, July 18— UF> — Black Shank, a plant disease which has spread rapidly in Guliford county this year, is causing heavy damage in the tobacco fields, ac cording to Farm Agent J. I. Wago ner, who today predicted that despite the 10 per cent increase in the season’s tobacco allotment, the crop likely will be no great er than last year’s. Wagoner said that some growers have reported as much as a 75 per cent loss of the tobacco crop on their farms, and in some in stances field have been a total loss as a result of the Black .Shank spread. t r HOUSE CONCLUDES TAX BILL DEBATE (Continued from Page One) depending on whether we can pick about 50 democratic votes.” Opening the attack on the pro posal, Rep. Cooper (D.-Tenn.) told the House that it would reduce the estimated yield of the bill by about $390,000,000. “This motion,” he said, “is not in the interest of the small corpor ations. It is for the benefit of the large and wealthy corporations making large profits out of the way.” Knutson said that the commit tee’s decision to go to 45 per cent “signed the death warrant of thou sands and thousands of small cor porations who are injured rather than aided by the war.” The sales tax figured at length in the debate with Rep. Carlson (R.-Kans.) telling the House that “we have reached that emer gency” which requires such a levy. Carlson said a sales tax was not based on ability to pay, was unorth odox and should not be levied ex cept in emergencies. 3 -V NORIEGA KILLED MADRID, July 18. — (A>) — Capt.
