El Reno’s Indians were wonder-
ing today Just how potent that No.
13 jinx will be tomorrow night
when they take on the Chickasha i
Chicks In a Boomer conference '
scrap that is the 13th game of the
season for the Tribe.
Worst feature of the advance |
dope Is that the Redmen will go I
Into the scrimmage rated as heavy
favorites, for the Indians usually
play their best against the best
opponents.
Any overconfidence they might |
have been building up should have
been beaten out of them Tuesday
night, however, when the Enid
Plainsmen evened this season’s
home-and-home series by laying
out the Indians 22-18 in their own
tepee.
Could Happen Again
Tightening up at the free-throw
line, where they missed 10 out of |
14 shots, and a let-up in the last
half, when they failed to keep on
driving In for baskets, cost the
Tribe a victory against Enid.
And inaccurary at the firing
line combined with a lack of drive
also could cost the Indians a de-
cision against the comparatively
weak Chickasha club, which has
played only six games this year
and which has won only two.
The Chick squad is manned en-
tirely by newcomers this campaign,
two seniors who never played be-
fore and three sophomores filling
the starting posts. It is coacheu
by Johnny Williamson, football
mentor who took over the cage
club when Jude Potts, basketball
pilot for several seasons, left only
a few weeks ago for service in the
navy.
They Look Pretty Good
The Chicks, however, downed
Anadarko 31-26 In tiic season
opener and recently upset Lawton
32-28. Tuesday night at Marlow
they held the powerful Marlow
club to a 40-33 score. In between
they dropped games to Pauls Val-
ley, Purcell and Duncan.
Chickasha's probable starting,
line-up consists of Harry Mc-
Kinney and Bob Lang at forwards.
Gerald Baggett at Center, Arthur
Hudson and Duard Givens at
guards. The two guards are seniors,
the others sophomores.
Before the main event, which
will start at 8 p. m. Friday in the
El Reno cage, B squads of Chick-
asha and El Reno highschool will
meet at 6:30 p. m. for an ex-
hibition curtain-raiser.
France Is Told
‘Yanks Coming’
WASHINGTON, Feb 5—(/Pi— R
A. F. bombers, doubling as delivery
boys for the U. S., are strewing
occupied France with pamphlets
by the millions proclaiming the
gigantic scope of America's war
plans and conveying to a conquer-
ed |>eople the Implicit message
"the Yanks are coming.”
Stephen Early, presidential sec-
retary, made known the newest
, series of pamphlet raids today and
disclosed that the leaflet bom-
bardment was particularly intense
on the British peninsula.
In the current struggle, however
it will be some time before the
Nazis themselves are pelted with
American printed matter. "The first
pamphlets they get from thlr,
country,” remarked one high placed
official, "will be bombs."
“The same ports and towns tha
were the first to sec the dough-
boys a quarter of a century ago.
and that maritime section ol
France" would be one of the first
likely theatres of action when-
ever the united nations are ready
to open a major invasion cam-
paign to regain the continent, it
was said.
All El Reno • schools, public of-
fices and business houses plan to
fall in line with daylight saving
or "war” time plans adopted by
congress as a federal law, a poll
of the various agancies showed
today.
All clocks will be moved for-
ward one hour effective at 2 a. m.
Monday, Feb. 9.
Business houses and offices arc
expected to move their clocks for-
ward at the close of business Sat-
urday night, or Sunday night for
those open on Sunday, and indi-
viduals are being advised to move
their clocks up Sunday night.
The postoffice, courthouse and
city hall will all use the ad-
vanced “war time" starting Mon-
day. and schools likewise will go
on the advanced time beginning
Monday for the duration of the
war.
Advancing of the schools' class
schedule an hour may work a
kjiardship on rural pupils who must
catch busses an hour early in the
morning, but will be necessary
because of the considerable num-
ber of students who work at busi-
ness institutions that will use the
new time, it was explained.
While the courthouse and all
county empoyes will go on the
advanced time schedule Monday,
county officials said, county road

Craft Is Attacked Nine
Times In Single Day
MELBOURNE. Feb. 5 —(/Pi— A
hospital ship, carrying wounded
American soldiers and nurses from
the Philippines, was attacked nine
times in one day by Japanese i
bombers and fighter planes which j
"came over like swarms of flies,”
it was disclosed today.
One of the wounded soldiers
said that the raids took place be- I
tween midday and late afternoon1
of Jan. 8 but "that all the wound-
ed were cheerful and declared their j
only wish was to get well and
have another crack at the Japs.”;
The ship apparently was the i
Marian, which the U. S. army an-
nounced on Jan. 15 had reached;

from Manila shortly before New

ITALIAN SUBMARINES
“PAI PENALTY”
LONDON. Feb. 5—(/Pi—'The ad-|
miralty asserted today that several
Italian submarines had “paid the I
ultimate penalty” after having |
been sent to help the German
submarine campaign in the At-
lantic.
One of these the admiralty said,
was the Ferraris, an 880-ton craft
armed with eight torpedo tubes
which was sunk late in 1941 after
having been damaged by a United
States built Catalina flying boat.
Did You Hear
TAONALD ELVIS SMITH, son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Smith
of Littleton, Colo., former El
Reno residents, has received
commendation from the navy
for his actions during the Pearl
Harbor attack. The young sea-
man was wounded during the
historic fight on Dec. 7 but
kept right on working.
The commendation received by
Smith from the commanding
officer of the naval air station
at Pearl Harbor, stated in part:
"During the air raid on Dec.
7 you conducted yourself in a
most meritorius manner in as-
sisting in moving aircraft, ob-
taining sand from the open
beach, putting out fires and
performing other duties required
of you without consideration ol
personal safety while being sub-
jected to strafing attacks by the
enemy. Your behavior shows
courage and willingness to do
your duty under most hazardous
conditions."
Smith’s parents recently re-
ceived a letter from their son
saying that he not only was
going to keep fighting, but had
arranged to buy three defense
savings bonds every two months
with his modest navy pay.
Smith was graduated from El
Reno highschool in 1940,

‘Tlie Germans never will recap-

nin said, adding that Soviet troops
had thrown the invaders back 175

visions into the conflict, mostly of

Sugar hoarders will be forced either
to return it to a store or use every
bit of the surplus before they will
tie eligible for more under federal
rationing rules, Bert McDonel, state
rationing director, predicted today
A stamp or booklet plan for
rationing of sugar, expected to go
into effect in about 30 days, is
in line with plans discussed at a
meeting of rationing officials in
Chicago recently, McDonel said.
He said the state directors were
told that a method would be work-
ed out “to make people bring back
hoarded supplies exactly like in
the last war.”
Hoarders will have to use their
own supplies, at the rate of 12
ounces per person per week, be-
fore they get more—exactly like
the family which has no sugar.
McDonel stressed that there is

Japan’s siege armies still hesi-
tated to gamble on a direct as-
sault against Singapore amid
flaming artillery duels across the
mile-wide Johore strait today,
while Japanese warplanes again
attacked the big Dutch naval base
at Soerabaja. Java and Port Mores-
by, New Guinea.
A war department bulletin said
U. S. army P-40 pursuit planes,
aiding in the defense of the vital
Dutch Indies, attacked a greatly
superior force of Japanese bomb-
ers and fighting planes In Java,
shooting down a bomber and a
pursuit ship. One American plane
was missing.
It was the first indication that
American pursuit planes piloted
by U. S. army fliers had reached
the Indies.
Battle of Batan Lulls
The war department reported a
lull in the battle of Batan with
"action lacking the savage char-
acter of the fighting which has
been almost continuous for the
past two weeks.”
British headquarters said Singa-
pore’s defense guns silenced Jap-
anese batteries and raked Jap-
anese transports in the Johore
Baru area directly across from the
island.
Overhead. R. A. F. lighters bat-
tled Japanese warplanes which
had inflicted nearly 300 casualties
in two days, including 63 killed.
Siege Guns Thundering
A Tokyo broadcast said Jap-
anese siege guns had been thun-
dering across the strait since 6
p. m. yesterday, pouring a steady
stream of fire into British troops
in a grove of rubber trees.
R. A. F. scout planes said a
heavy movement of Japanese troops
southward still was progressing.
Four-engined Japanese flying
boats attacked Port Moresby before
dawn, dropping 30 bombs. Port
Moresby is the capital of Papaua.
Dutch Admit Losses
An N. E. I. communique ac-
knowledged fires were set and
material damage inflicted in the
Japanese assault on Soyabaja this
morning, and admitted "very con-
siderable losses in aircraft."
In Burma, the British acknowl-
edged that Japanese patrols had
crossed the lower Salween river at
a number of points, creating the
threat of a direct thrust against
Rangoon, the Burmese capital.
A military spokesman said the
British command intended to hold
Rangoon “at all costs but if Ran-
goon should go. it would not mean
the end of Burma nor of the

—Dr. J. W. Eisiminger, Oklahoma
City, serving a life term for mur-

Eisiminger. now 60, has served
five years and also is under a fed-
eral sentence for perjury running
concurrently with his state prison
term.
The prisoner apparently could
be held for federal officials if a
federal detainer still is on file at
the prison, the state pardon and
parole office said.
The parole order stated that
Eisiminger had a clear prison rec-
ord and no previous criminal his-
tory and quoted from a letter of
County Attorney Lewis R. Morris
which said "as far as this office
is concerned it is a closed matter
and we will be glad to abide by
whatever disposition you make of
