Today's War German, British Air Forces Hit Naval Targets
By HARRISON SALIBURY
United Press Correspondent
British and German air power pounded today at noval targets with a furious new Royal Air Force assault on the Nazi naval base of Wilhelmshaven and a fresh luftwaffe attack on the damaged 23-000-ton British aircraft carrier, Ilustious.
The outbreak of German dive-bombing attacks on British seapower in the Mediterranean caused London observers to predict a change in Royal Navy tactics in that area to meet the new menace.
The RAF pounded Wilhelms-haven, Germany's most important North Sea naval and ship base, for the second successive night, dropping tons of bombs on targets still burning from the lengthy raid 24 hours before.
New targets were blasted too, particularly the concentration of oil tanks used to fuel naval vessels and shipyard industries and the railroad center through which ship building supplies and war material are funneled.
The new attack on the Illustrious was delivered at Valetta Malta, where the badly-pounded warship took refuge after the battering dive-bomber attack made a week ago today off Sicily.
The Germans claimed three direct hits were made an the Illustrious and that the carrier had been put out of action for the duration of the war. In addition, they said, a merchant ship was hit.
London believed that the daring Trans-Mediterranean naval operations whereby the British have convoyed war materials straight across the inland sea and through the narrow gap between Italian Sicily, Pantelleria and North Africa might be ended. This would mean that henceforth all supplies to provision and reinforce the fronts in Africa and Albania would have to be moved by the roundabout Cape of Good Hope route. It would add new strain to the hard-pressed British merchant fleet.
Youth Displaces Title Claimant As Youngest Soldier
Asheville, N.C., Jan. 17—(UP)— Walter Owensby, 15 last July, was believed today to be the youngest soldier in the U.S. Army.
He enlisted with the headquarters battery of the 79th field artillery at Fort Bragg on Nov. 7. He was believed younger than Harry Wohlfeil, jr., of Fort Custer, Mich., who also is 15 and previously was announced as the nation's youngest soldier.
BEAT KANSAS STATE!
German air action over Britain was restricted. Attacks were made on Bristol and a south coast city but firemen and volunteers took the Nazi fire-bombs in their stride.
Greece said that her troops were attacking heights above Klisura and that the action might lead to the fall of Tepelini. Capture of Tepelini would enable the Greeks to step up the tempo of their advance toward Valona and Berat.
Japan's preoccupation with American developments was intensified and it was reported that the government was preparing a formal reply to the statements of Secretary of State Cordell Hull before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. It was said that Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka might make a

full-dress statement before the Diet next Tuesday.
A later Tokyo report was that the formal statement on Hull's views would be deferred.

Another Pacific development was word from London that the British are preparing to consult with the United States regarding leaks in the blockade through American shipments to Russia, via Vladivstock, which allow the Soviet to release domestic materials for shipment to Germany.

Solons Ponder Rent Solution
Topeka, Jan. 17—(UP)—Members of the Kansas legislature, irked at the high prices charged by Topeka hotels and rooming houses, today had before them a resolution calling upon the state architect to provide estimates for construction of a building to house the law makers.
The resolution was introduced by Senator Walter Jones of Reno, in Leavenworth county. He said he desired to find out whether the state could erect a suitable building in which the members of the legislature might live at a "reasonable price."
Some members of the legislature have complained because hotels allegedly have hiked their room rent from $50 to $60 or more a month and rooming houses allegedly have increased their rent from $20 to $30 a month for the duration of the legislative session.

Inoculate 852 With Flu Serum
Eight hundred and fifty-two influenza inoculations had been given at Watkins Memorial hospital by 5 p.m. yesterday.
"The vaccine comes in lots of 55 doses, and these are only good for six hours," Doctor Canuteson explained.
Recently developed by the Rockefeller institute, the influenza vaccine was given to the University to aid in the determinations of its effectiveness.
Since response to the vaccine has been slow, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, announced Wednesday that there would be no more shots given after yesterday afternoon.
