EVANSTON, Ill., June 16.-PA1)-
The Big Ten's All-Stars won their
dual track meet with the Pacific
Coast's best tonight for the first
time in the six-year history of the
event.
Before a twilight crowd of 12,000
in Northwestern University's Dyche
Stadium, the Big Ten team upset
all the pre-meet dope to ring up a
69 2/3 to 57 1/3 victory.
Although the Westerners lost, their
Hal Davis, of California, set two new
meet sprint marks but the Big Ten
had its record-breaker too in Bob
Wright.of Ohio State, who rang up
a new meet high hurdles time.
The three exhibition events were
noteworthy only in the performance
of an Illinois high school boy, Dwight
Eddleman of Centralia, who high
jumped 6 feet 6 inches, two inches
better than the winning collegian
height, but 1 1/8 inches under the
national interscholastic record he
sought to exceed.

Thousands Of Vacationers
See Merchant Vessels
Attacked Close To Coast
(By The Associated Press)
The fierce battle of the Atlantic
has moved to the very edges of
United States shores, the Navy
reported last night in disclos-
ing that a submarine boldly torpe-
doed two American merchant ships
within sight of thousands of vaca-
tioners at a Virginia beach resort.
One of the vessels went to the bot-
tom in the twin attack yesterday,
bringing the announced toll of sink-
ngs in Atlantic and adjacent waters
to 272. Earlier today 30 survivors of
a medium-sized U.S. ship were landed
at a Gulf port.
The spellbound Virginia tourists
watched a vivid demonstration of of-
fensive warfare, too, as bombing
planes and a Navy blimp soared over
the area in search of the undersea
raider. As a half dozen surface ships
joined in the attack, bombs and
depth charges sent geysers of water
shooting skyward.
Soldiers, sailors and coast guards-
men quickly cleared the resort
beaches and forced back crowds as
a surf boat brought ashore one body
and three empty lifeboats. The vic-
tim was Rubin Redwine of Phila-
delphia, second assistant engineer
aboard one of the torpedoed ships.
The Navy reported Redwine was
the only victim, and made no comn-
ment on the fate of the submarine.
There were 46 in the crew of one
vessel and 62 in the other. The dam-
aged ship was towed into port.
The Gulf sinking was the second
after two weeks of clear sailing in
that area. Fourteen seamen were
killed.
Ypsi Workers Walk Out
YPSILANTI, June 16. -(A)- Em-
ployes of the Central Specialties Co.
walked out today and plant officials
attributed the stoppage in all non-
defense departments to a dispute
with the United Automobile Workers-
CIO over vacation pay.

the watch system that prevails everyI
hour a ship is at sea.
An hour before dawn the "dong-
dong" and trumpet call of general
quarters awakened all. Our scout
pilots, always the first away in the
morning and last in at dusk, slid into
their "Mae-West" life jackets, took
a thermos flask of coffee, and then
winged away into the predawn dark-
ness. Dawn in those latitudes comes
about 6 a.m.
Pilots Stand By
All the other pilots stood by their
planes, prepared to get into the air
at once. Our gunners stood by their
weapons, the heavy five inch dual-
purpose high velocity guns, the clus-
ters of one pounders, and smaller 20
MM machine gun cannon.
The whole fleet crouched, like a
runner on his mark, awaiting the
first "enemy-contact" report. The
day was clear, but with the huge
fluffy cumulus clouds that forever
seem to float over these waters, all
around us. Visibility, however, was
excellent.
When the primary search-an area
of 50 miles around the Lexington-
had been finished we relaxed some-
what. Engines were stopped and
pilots and off duty ship officers had
breakfast. Meanwhile the scout fly-
ers began a systematic hunt over the
sea surface in a circle with a 250
mile radius around us.
Enemy Reported Near
At 8:10 a.m. Ensign Smith, who
had gone out on a segment of the
hunt that took him to the northeast,
reported "contact." He reported 'the
enemy was about 190 miles northeast
of us and roughly 40 to 50 miles
southeast of Tagula Island in the
Louisiade Archipelago.
Five minutes later our pilots were
in their cockpits with radio men and
gunners. Engines were turning
again. But the Admiral, fearing
there might also be a closer Japanese
fleet, delayed the departure order.

His problem was to determine whe-
ther the reported Japanese were the
only enemy naval units within strik-
ing distance.
Time passed slowly and tension in-
creased. Lieut.-Comm. Bob Dixon,
who had been flying in a scouting
segment near Ensign Smith, flew over
to the latter's area and also made
"contact" with the enemy. Dixon
reported the Japs in great force with
two big carriers, many cruisers and
destroyers. He also could see the
enemy had most of their aircraft
aboard.
Smoke Sighted
Hardly had this information ar-
rived when a huge column of smoke
was sighted about five miles off our
port beam. A fighter pilot radioed in
saying he had shot down another of
the big four engined Japanese Ka-
wanishi patrol boats. It was obvious
that the Kawanishi had seen our fleet
and likely that its crew had reported
our presence before crashing.
At 9:30 a.m. the real striking forces
of our fleet got off, headed for the
Japanese fleet. They consisted of 54
dive bombers, 20 torpedo bombers,
and 16 fighter planes. These fdrces
were combined units from the Lex-
ington and another carrier, the name
of which must not be mentioned for
reasons of military security.
As protection for our two carriers,
our cruisers and destroyers, a unit of
16 fighters and some scout planes
were retained. These were distribut-
ed in various sectors of the sky from
20 to 150 miles from our ships which
were steaming at 20 knots toward the
northeast-a straight course for the
enemy to reduce as much as possible
the distance of the return journey
for our striking air fleet.
Rear Adm. Aubrey W. Fitch, who
had been given independent com-
mand of the Lexington group for the
anticipated attack by the Japanese,
disposed his fighters at high alti-
tudes, and the scouts at low alti-
tudes.
From one of our scouts came a

radio call about 10 a.m. "Twelve un-
identified planes approaching. Still
160 miles away on course to inter-
cept you."
We reasoned that our reporting
scout had seen part of the Japanese
carrier borne air fleet soon after it
had taken off to attack the Lexing-
ton. Capt. Fred C. Sherman of the
Lexington (recently promoted to Rear
Admiral) and our air officers said
they believed the two air blows-ours
against the Japs and theirs against
us--had been "fired"-that is, the
planes on both sides had taken off-
at almost the same time.
Battle stations for the fleet kept
the Lexington and the other carrier
surrounded by a double line of cruis-
ers and destroyers. Any torpedo
planes coming in low to strike at
either of the important carriers must
pass through the anti-aircraft bar-
rage of the portecting vessels. And
they also could assist the carriers in
laying a barrage against dive bomb-
ers. The cruisers were perhaps a
quarter mile off our beam on either
