It is teamwork that is win ning in the South Pacific . team work among the Army, Navy and Marines and teamwork among air, surface and ground forces. "On the first of November, our Marines landed on Empress Au gusta Bay, Bouganville, supported by Navy surface vessels and air units. The landing against light opposition from the shore was Our units rapidly overcome. pushed into the jungles and estab lished themselves a beachhead. As the days went by, the ground we held was widened and deepened. It was then that the Army moved in behind our forces together with Naval troops. "The Bouganville landing was harder than the original fight on Guadalcanal although not as hard as- those of Tulagi and Gavutu. Our casualties were very light on Bouganville and extremely light on Choisuel in comparison to the large amount of damage inflicted there. "The Bouganville show was staged by the 1st Marine Amphibious Corps. From the latest reports I have had since I left the scene, Army and Navy troops have landed on Bouganville and are now busily engaged in getting themselves firmly established there", he said. Lieutenant General Vandegrift paid high tribute to New Zealand-erU. S. Army troops and Marine Corps paratroopers, who landed op Treasury and Choisuel Islands, southeast of Bouganville, before the invasion of that island began. "The New Zealanders, supported by our air and surface forces made a splendid landing on Treasury Isle. "A day later a battalion of our Marine parachute troops, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Victor Krulak, landed on Chol-seIsland. This operation was a feint; a diversion to" attract the enemy's attention toward Choi-sewhile the main thrust struck at Bouganville. The paratroopers put on a very daring raid and accomplished much good before being withdrawn shortly. "As a matter of fact the radio reported a force there. Americans of 20,000 "Colonel Krulak, known as 'Brute' out there because of his being only a little over in height, did an outstanding Job and was awarded the Navy Cross by Admiral Hasley the day after the raid was over." Asked by newsmen If the "fighting spirit" of the Marines was "higher" when the invasion of Bouganville began than it was at the time of the Battle of Guadalcanal, he replied: "I thouight we had very good spirit on Guadalcanal. I know it's at least that good now." (Continued on page 8) redouble their efforts and Increase their quota of these much appreciated articles.

HOUSE SENDS TWO BILLS TO SENATE point-valu- Hy Representative Granger The House has passed and sent the Senate two important measures: one, the extension of the Credit Corporation, Commodity and the other the 1943 Tax Bill. The Commodity Credit Corporation bill was the one that particularly caused much furore and debate. The CCC is the agency that carries all the funds for the agricultural program, including support prices and incentive payments for agricultural products. It also has up until this time had funds for the purpose of paying subsidies for food. This was the part that was controversial. As It now has passed, if it is approved in its present form by the Senate, it would bring an end to all subsidy payments after December 31, to 1943. . Ration points for all rationed meats, Including pork, must be collected by farmers, whether sold or given to friends, neighbors, relatives, retailers or anyone else, William Willden, chairman of the Beaver war price and rationing board, said today. "The war food administration recently lifted its restriction requiring that a farmer secure a permit to slaughter hogs Intended for sale," the chairman said. "This did not mean that pork had been list of placed on the point-fre- e foods." In order to stimulate the consumption of pork, OPA recently e two points reduced the per pound and the War Food Administration temporarily lifted the slaughter restriction on pork. The allowance of two meat-fat- s points per pound for every pound of salvage fats turned Into retailers beginning December 13 should also Increase somewhat the purchase of meat. A farmer may find out what point values to charge by consulting the current table of consumer point values of meats and subtracting two points from the number listed by OPA in order to alrelow for the recent duction affecting all pork items. The only exception is for carcass or side pork cuts, which were lowered but one and a half points. Ration points collected by farmers for the sale of meats and fats should be mailed to the local war price and rationing board, the chairman said, together with a re port showing the sales of rationed meats and fats during the month. Citizens are urged to observe scrupulously the rules for meat. Otherwise large amounts of food will travel channels and build up a huge black market, depriving the and learmed forces, gitimate consumers and retailers of needed supplies. The Tax Bill carries provisions an additional two billion dol- for lars. This would make the total tax collection for the next year approximately forty billion dollars. There Is no substantial change In Individual income taxes. The only change will be the repealing of the Victory Tax, but not decreasing the total tax deducted from pay checks, and increasing the excess profits tax from 90 at present to 95. The Senate may make some change, but It is believed the bill will be passed substantially as it passed the House. e Goods French Pay for The French Committee of National Liberation has recently delivered a check to this (government for 115,000,000 in payment for civilian supplies shipped to French Africa under the terms of e Act. the This is the fourth check delivered by the Committee for shipments that left the United States between April 1 and July 31. e agreement Through we have supplied the French of North and West Africa with military and civilian supplies which are to be paid for In cash, while they make available to us strategic materials under reverse I,end-Leas- Lend-Leas- Lend-Leas- two-poi- nt home-slaughter- lend-leas- e, American Legion And Auxiliary Hold Meet The American Legion and Auxiliary convention for District No. 7, was held at Hurricane, Utah, Friday, November 26.
