began to search his own consci

As a result of this sltuntlon,

it would appear thnt thoy were

about the day after It would be

be allowed to keep five tires but
all the rest would bo requisition

We then began to hear state

a device to compel people to quit

Memorial day holiday death toll
In years,
Only 304 violent-deaths wore
reported throughout tho United
States during tho two-day holi
day, as against an average of 400
on a normal May weekond.
Two factors were credited
with saving manV lives, both
connected with the wor effort!
Gasoline rationing kept many
eastern motorists at home, and
uninterrupted activity., in war
plants kept many others at their
machines, . ,
Thus the nation's highways,

After Parks was sentenced, he
asked if he could say anything.

By The Associated Press
(ADVANCE) The war in the
far Pacific region presented to
day an intricate pattern of
stroke and counter-stroke on a
vast front where, it could be
said, with the exception of the
Chinese sectors, that the allies
were dishing out more than
they were taking. ,
')' Salient developments reported
were: . - i
; 1. The explosive parrying of
a nighttime thrust into Sydney -harbor
by a force of Japanese
midget . submarines and the
barest suggestion . that their
mothership had been at least at
tacked. 2. The opening of a new Jap
anese offensive in China's
Kwangtung 'province while the
Chines r.-valiantly r sought to
curb the enemy' in -"Chtekiang

3. A senes of successful raids

to the Solomon islands over the
weekend by allied bombers
based on Indian and Australian
territory.

United States headquarters
at. New Delhi, India, said that
its huge, bombers , in the ' past
three days had sunk a Japanese
tanker and damaged others at
Rangoon .Burma, and inflicted
heavy damage on ground air

General MacArthur conferred

the prime minister's happiness
was so evident that 'some ob

damaged or captured.
It could be assumed that the
appearance of the little raiders
