LONDON, Feb. 7.—The Admi- ralty gave a dramatic account to- day of escorted convoys which recently fought off three attacks by German aircraft, shot down at least two of them and reached their destinations without dam- age. “Three unsuccessful attacks,” the Admiralty report said. “have been made recently by enemy aircraft on our convoys. “At least two aircraft have been destroyed and others damaged. “There were neither casualties nor serious damage to merchantmen in the convoys or to their escorts. One merchantman suffered superficial damage but no casualties and was ahle to proceed under her own power. Two Planes Attack, Two Shot Down. “On the evening of February 5, two Dorniers attempted to attack a convoy among whose escorts was H. M. 8. Pytchley and H. M. 8. Men- dip. « “The enemy was engaged by these ships and at first driven off but Jater one Dornier succeded in press- ng home its attack. “This aircraft was engaged at short range and shot down by the steamships Highwear and Helder. It exploded on hitting the sea. ‘There were no enemy survivors. “The surviving Dornier was inter- cepted and engaged by R. A. F. fighter aircraft on convoy escort and was seen by ships of the escort to fall in flames. 3 Hit Out of Nine. “On the following afternoon an- other convoy was twice unsuccess- fully attacked. The first attack was made by five Dorniers and one JU- 88. This force of enemy aircraft was engaged by H. M. 8. Leeds and driven off. 4 “One Dornier was seen to be on fire and a second Dornier which had Jettisoned its bombs on being hit was last seen to be in considerable difficulty. “A second attack was made by | three Dorniers. The enemy was | driven off and one Dornier was seen } to be severely damaged by the gun- fire of H. M. 8. Puffin. “Both these convoys reached their destinations without further inci- dent.” The warships mentioned, the Pytchley, Mendip and Leeds, are destroyers and the Puffin is a patrol | sloop. Parley Called fo Discuss Annexes for Hospifals Concerned over the insufficiency of Washington's hospital facllities, in view of the city's mushrooming | population, Commissioner Guy Mason, yesterday took the lead in a proposed co-operative move for ex- pansion of private hospital accom- modations.

Reports Home Financing Totaled 4.7 Billion Last Year By the Associated Press. The Federal Home Loan Bank | | Board estimated today that therel were 58381 foreclosures on urban real estate last year, representing | a decline of 22.5 per cent from 1940 | to the lowest level on record. The | previous low was 68,100 in 1926, the | board said. December reports showed 4,337 non-farm mortage foreclosures, an increase of 133 over November, which the board said was “a re- versal from the trend of the last | eight years, and was caused almost entirely by accelerated actions in | those areas which are not experi- | encing a shortage of housing due to | Peak Reached in 1933. ‘The 1941.total compared with a | peak of 252,000 foreclosures reached | in 1933.

Labor Costs Increase. Home construction costs, the | board said, were 11 per cent higher at the end of 1941 than a year previous and nearly 20 per cent higher than the 1935-9 average. During 1941 building material costs rose 11.1 per cent and labor costs increased 10.4 cent. ‘The Federal Housing Administra- tion reported, meanwhile, that, in | response to urgings tq increase pri- vate construction of war housing, it had received applications for ings last week.

Senator Brown said they were “very well treated” and last night found a small hotel room here, which they will occupy until they can get an apartment Monday. NING = STAR, missing | missing | WASHINGTON, Henderson Threatens Retail Sugar Ceiling if Profiteering Goes On Consumers Told to Take Storekeepers to Task For Any Price Hikes (Earlier Story on Page A-1.) Price Administrator Leon Hen- derson today warned that price ceilings will be placed on retail sugar unless reported widespread profiteering by retail markets is stopped immediately. Mr. Henderson advised consumers who are asked to pay “much more” than one cent per five pounds higher than they paid in the first week of last December to protest vigorously to the storekeeper. It was understood that some Washington merchants have been reported charging more than twice the December price. Similar price advances have been reported from other sections of the country to the O.P.A. A markup of approximately one cent per five pounds was described by Mr. Henderson as justified in view of an increase of 20 cents per 100 pounds recently allowed re- finers. “Any increase much greater than this,” he said, “is profiteering, pure and simple.” He added that there is no justification for a retail ad- vance of any more ‘han 1 cent, except in certain localities where other “adjustments” have been nec- essary. “Although sugar supplies may be smaller than usual in some parts of the country,” Mr. Henderson con- tinued, “the rationing plan will shortly be instituted by the O. P. A. and there will be a fair sharing of supplies for every one. In this sit- uation scarcity is absolutely no justification for price increases.” Consumers Told Not to Hoard. He pointed out that during the current month, all wholesale sugar buyers are entitled to receive 80 per cent of the amount of sugar received during the corresponding | | period last year. | Mr. Henderson said he hoped “the force of public opinion” will con- vince retail dealers that they should | keep prices at normal levels, but | that if such were not the case | maximum retail prices would be set by the Government. Mr. Henderson emphasized that | to hoard sugar arfd to buy for cur- rent needs only. One way to pre- | vent prices from rising is to avoid panic buying which always tends to | create a shortage and boost prices, he said. \Asks $1-a-Day Pay Raise By the Associated Press.

Devils Tower Chutist in Army As Instructor By the Associated Press. The marooned parachutist of Devil's Tower is in the Army now— as a parachute instructor. ‘To win a $50 bet, George C. Hop- kins jumped out of a plane last | October, succeeded in landing on the lofty summit of sheersided Devil's Tower in Wyoming, and had to stey there for five days and nights until eight expert Alpinists could get him down. Senator Gurney, Republican, of South Dakota said that Hopkins later tried to enlist in the Army in his home State of South Dakota, but was rejected “because he had knocked out most of his teeth in parachute jumps.” “Hopkins then hitch-hiked to Weshington,” Senator Gurney re- counted. “He told me he had been a parachute instructor with the Chi- nese Army, that,he was with the British at Dunkerque and later was 8 chute instructor with them, and that he had made 2,300 jumps.” Senator Gurney said he took the parachutist down,to the Wer De- partment here .and “the Army waived on his lack of teeth and sent him on down to Fort Benning when they learned he was not just a stunt jumper.” ’ | The wife of one of the highest ranking officers in the Navy Depart- ment, whose son was known to be on an aircraft carrier, was ealled and told that he had gone down with his ship. The lady, forewarned by her conversations with her hus- band, simply hung up without re- plying. Others, at the beginning of the telephone offensive, were caught by surprise. The mysterious caller —usually 2 woman with a soft voice —would begin the conversation | something like this: “My dear, T am distressed to tell you that your son who was with my brother on the .. ... (the name of an im- { portant transport such as the Lafay- ette or of an airplane carrier was then given) was killed when the ship was struck by a torpedo off Haweil.” The party thus spoken to, who may have had an idea that that particular ship was either in port or in another ocean sometimes blurted out: “How terrible, are you sure you are right? The last information I had from Tommy about two weeks ago, was from Norfolk.” The con- versation continues a few more sec- onds and ends abruptly when the startled relative asks the name of the informer. Before the agent hangs up, however, she has very often found out what she wanted to know, the probable location of the ship. Men, Too, Are Transgressors. Nor are the women the only ones who inadvertently give information to the enemy. A kind heart and desire to appear important may also play a role and as often as not the informer in this case is a man. ‘There is the story of the retired admiral called back to active duty. He was so distressed by the tears of a clerk in his office, who had been told that her flance had gone down with his ship in Pearl Harbor, that he went to the trouble to ascertain that the young man’'s ship was afloat in the Atlantic. He dried the pretty young woman's tears with the heartening information, cau- tioning her at the same time that it was of a highly confidential na- ture. The young lady rushed to tell all her ifgtimate friends—in strictest | confidence—who had been grieving with her.
