Wives of Rotarians met at the
Pelican Monday to discuss plans
for the January war savings
drive with Mrs. Franklin
Weaver, chairman of the worn'
en's division of war savings. The
month of January, designated as
"Pine Goes to War" month, will
be directed by Rotary club, and
Mitchell Tillotsoo is general
chairman, with Dr. J. M. Hilton
in charge of women's work.
The Vox theatre on Main
street has been given to Rotar
ians to use as a "Victory Cen
ter" during the month and each
day a Rotarian's -wife will be at
the box office to sell bonds and
tamps.
Saturday, January 16, has
been designated the night for the
big program to be sponsored by
Rotary, with plans to be an'
nounced later by Tillotson. A

Special tribute is being paid

Monday to outline plans for the
remainder of the month with

sets had sent the whites scurry
ing into the brush for safety.
Only two methods of effect
ing the rescue were feasibl
either by air or submarine. The
underwater craft was chosen.
Messages were dispatched to
thi; craft, which was unable to
reply lest it give away its posi
tion. Thus progress of the daring
plan to evacuate those endan
gered could not be determined.
It . is known now, however,
that the submarine commander
received and carried out the
orders.
The submarine reached the
' rendezvous exactly on schedule.
It stood close to shore, and took
the refugees aboard at night aft
er replying to a pre-designated
signal. Originally it had been
planned to make a second at
tempt the following night if the
initial try was unsuccessful.
As it turned out that would
have been tragic for the morning

sert that Hitler has ordered his
armies in the Caucasus to hold
their positions AT ALL COSTS
even to a last-ditch stand if
the Russians close the Rostov
gap.
This story (unconfirmed) says
the German plan in that event
would be to supply the Cau
casus army by water across the
Black sea.
THIS, of course, has always
been a possibility.
But there's a Russian fleet
loose in the Black sea, with sup
ply bases at and near Batum,
which lies at the Black sea end
of one of the Russian oil pipe
lines from the great Baku fields,
These bases are supplied by rail
from the Caspian.
Allied land-based aircraft
would also take a hand in bat
tering the German supply fleets,
CONFIRMING recent hints in
the news, Wes Gallagher,
AP correspondent in Northern
Africa, after a tour of 2100 miles
by jeep and 700 miles by air,
thinks the Germans are going to
make a MAJOR effort to hold
the Mediterranean narrows be
tween Tunis and Sicily in the
hope of keeping the Mediierran-
ean-Suez route closed to allied
shipping.
HE says the axis, with short,

concentration of artillery and
air . force already in northern
Tunisia, can halt any allied in
fantry assault (unsupported by
xanKs) with -murderous losses,
Mud and rain, he thinks, will
cramp our style until some time
in February.
BUT, he says, the German air
force is LOSING ITS PUNCH,
and is only a shadow of the ter
rible weapon it was in Norway
ana France and Greece and
Crete. The allied air force is still
handicapped by lack of fields.
but the punishment it hands out.
ne says, is ten TIMES as effec
tive as the German air blows.
He concludes: "Where 100
Stukas once appeared, only 15
now appear. Where 40 axis
fighters flew, only FOVR fly
now and when challenged by
RAF and American fighters they
o.uickly disappear. The Germans
are obviously husbanding their
waning strength."
Read his dispatch in this news
paper today. You'll find it in
teresting. .-
YOU'LL recall with some un
easiness that SEVEN of our
Flying Fortresses were lost ,in
an. attack on St Nazaire.
The London Express says to
day the Germans have been try-:
ing out new "suicide" tactics
against them, German fighter
pilots, attacking in pairs from
dead ahead. They inflicted the
worst losses we ve suffered yet,
oui suiierea pretty severely
themselves, losing 38 fighters in
uestroying our seven bombers.
At the worst, t was about an
even swap.
London reports say that in the
St. Nazaire raid the American
bombers were led by the com
manding general. One guesses it
wasn t sheer love of danger on
the part of the general, who was
presumably leading the raid in
person in order to study the new
German tactics.
In war, new forms of attack
must constantly be met by new
methods of defense.

149 Japs Counted
Reports from Associated Press
correspondents on the New Guin
ea land front said that allied
troops mopping up . the Buna
Giropa Point sector occupied
January 3 carried through faster
and with less resistance than
they expected.
American clean up squads
crisscrossing the swamplands be
tween Buna government station
and Giropa Point yesterday
counted the bodies of 149 Jans
killed when the enemy's organ
ized resistance in this area was
broken the previous day, in addi
tion to the 30 slaL. in the mop
tip itself. . - . f '
The dispatches said the only
Japs' left are a few stragglers
who have taken to the jungles
in twos and threes. .
Visible intoxication, including
being just plain drunk on the
street or driving while "under
the influence," has been cut
down considerably and city and
state police attributed the fewer
number of arrests to several
items of importance.
Item No. 1, was the early hour
closing of the state liquor store
and beer dispensaries. The state
liquor shop now closes at 8 p. m..
which discourages late buyers
ana limits the later parties. Chief
Heuvel observed. Item No. 2
might be the "one-bottle-to-the-customer"
ruling which went in
to effect in December.
State police think that Item
No. 3 might.be the conservation
of gas policy which all motor
ists are forced to observe. There
is little "joy riding" going on
these days and what there is usu-
ally takes place pretty close in.
There is a tendency toward
closer observance of traffic laws,
at least on the highways, state
officers say. The traffic around
town is on a normal plane but
out of the city district the arter
ials are fairly quiet.

by dive bombers on a destroyer
detachment northwest of Ren
