CAPTURED BY AMERICANS Canyon Use Expected Condition of Logan Man Grows Worse and rubber restrictions apparently have not decreased recreational use of Logan canyon areas, and in view of this fact, an appeal for holiday vacationers to be careful with fires was issued today by James O. Stewart, supervisor of Cache national forest. "The canyon and picnic areas are being used heavier this year than was expected," Mr. Stewart stated. "Previously it was thought that gas rationing and tire conservation measures would curtail use of the canyon for the duration. But there has been no appreciable decrease of motoristj driving into the canyon." He stated that luxuriant June grass is drying fast and presenting a serious fire hazard.

Emma had apparently urged Elwood to drive at a rapid speed. When the car reached 80 miles an hour, he apparently became frightened and slammed on the brakes with the result that the car skidded into a fence and turned over.

As I write this dispatch, the Aniencan landing force already is well entrenched on the springboard to the Japanese base at Munda, on nearby New Georgia island. Opposition is dwindling and only small groups of Japanese interfere with us. The initial exuberance of the American assault forces has passed and the men are now calm and sober in the expectation of meeting the enemy and really slugging him. (Jones accompanied the American forces making the first landing on Rendova and write this dispatch a few hours after the debarkation before a later heavy Japanese attack on hi3 convoy.) I accompanied the tough, troops on this expedition, and lanaed with them. Only a few Japanese opposed us, and they soon were wiped out. Our convoy comprised scores of ships of all sizes.
