Southampton Scuttled After All-Day Battle With Nazi Bombers
LONDON, Jan. 16— (U.P.)— German dive bombers destroyed the 9100-ton British cruiser Southampton in the all-day battle with a British naval scuadron off Sicily last Friday, the admiralty revealed today.
A raging fire set by the bombs forced abandonment of the warship. which was sunk by the British crew when they found it impracticable to tow the vessel to port, the admiralty said.
In the battle, which cost German-Italian forces at least 12 planes and one destroyer, the 23,000-ton British aircraft carrier Illustrious, received a terrific battering in a seven-hour attack. The 1335-ton destroyer Gallant was damaged by a mine or torpedo.
These two vessels reached port, although the broad aircraft carrier received a direct hit by a 1000-pound bomb and ‘many perforations above and below the water line” from other bombs bursting alongside.
The admiralty said a “great majority” of the Southampton’s crew of 700 officers and men were saved.
Illustrious Bombed
BERLIN. Jan. 16—(T.P)—Determined to destroy or knock the British aircraft carrier Illustrious out of action. Nazi dive-bombers in the Mediterranean Thursday delivered another heavy attack on the 23.000-ton vessel. It was damaged last Friday in an all-day attack on British warships off Sicily, informed German quarters said.
Three direct hits were scored on the already badly-battered carrier in the latest attack, a renewal by the same dive-bombers, it was said.

Searching planes were expected to take off from Portland. Medford. Tacoma and Sacramento at dawn if the plane does not report.
Purpose ot the conference was two-fold: to develop and set in motion a definite program of action for expanding two-way trade, travel, and cultural relations between southern California and countries of the western hemisphere, and to constitute a challenge and an opportunity for all interests, now separately working along these lines, to unite their efforts in promoting a sane, secure, and successful Pan-Americanism.
PROGRAM OUTLINED

liberties secure. Such a program ultimately Would make the western hemisphere as economically and militarily self-sustaining as possible.

Senators
Consider
Hazing'
Bill May Prohibit ‘Hell Week’ Activities on State Campuses
A bill, which makes law the rules against hazing — established in September by Dr. ! Rufus B. von KieinSmid—has been referred to the committee on education of the state senate at Sacramento.
Introduced by Senator John H. 1 Swan, instructor at Sacramento Junior college, prohibits hazing by members of any fraternity at any ! school, college, or university re- | ceiving tax exemption or state appropriations and provides penalties for violations. As SC receives tax exemptions, such a bill will affect the university.
BILL QUOTED
Before the education committee for consideration the bill states:
“It shall be unlawful for any member or members of any fraternity whose membership consists, in whole or in part, of students of any school, college, or university receiving appropriations from or granted tax exemption by thiM state, to engage in or incite hazing or to otherwise mistreat any student so as to cause bodily injury.
“The president or other presiding official of any such educational institution shall, upon satisfactory proof of the violation of any of the provisions of this act, expel the student guilty of such violation and dissolve and prohibit further meetings of the fraternity of which such guilty student is a member.”
‘HELL WEEK’ HALTED
In a memorandum to all campus fraternities on September 12. 1940. Dr. von KieinSmid abolished “Hell Week” and stated:
“Repeated evidence proves con- | clusively that ‘Hell Week’ affects seriously the scholarship of most students concerned and in many cases definitely Impairs physical and mental health. The university is obliged to protect the health and well-being of all students placed under its supervision and to justify the confidence placed in it by parents and patrons.*'
