British parliament members now have the opportunity to make munitions in their spare time and so far five members make up the vanguard of these volunteers instructions at a Lon-don who are given center. Here Miss Thelma Cazalet, MP, works at her machine learning a new art for beating the Axis. Control Soil Insects Sod land and weedy ground should be spaded or plowed as soon as it can be worked if it is to be used for gardens. This will help to control insects in the ground. Two 'Naturals' Navy recruiters lost a couple of "naturals" here and to Leather-necks, at that. Among-- recent re-cruits enlisted by marines were Donald Bluejacket and Raymond Sailor.

Released by Western Newspaper Union. CHINA: Fighting Back The Japs learned something more Df the Chinese ability to fight back as the defenders of the Hangchow-Nanchan- g railway front wiped out three weeks of the enemy's gains in a concentrated drive tp.at netted them a wedge into Jap lines plus two important towns. In this fighting in eastern Kiangsi province the Jap was virtually cleared out of the southeast Cheki-an- g coastal area and the Chinese recaptured the two vital ports of Julian and Wenchow. Taking the Japs by surprise, the Chinese captured several villages along the railway before smashing through to the coast. Continual thin-ning out of Jap garrisons in the new-ly occupied regions of Kiangsi and Chekiang provinces helped the Chi-nese in their victories, according to military experts on the scene. This thinning out was viewed as being most important for some sources indicated strongly thattroops leaving the area were headed for Inner Mongolia. And this was inter-preted as meaning that preparation for the long expected Jap invasion of Russia was actually making head-way. But the Chinese were intent on keeping their minds on the task at hand regaining the entire e Kangchow-Nanchan- g railway and refused to be diverted entirely by the movement to Inner Mongolia. The official communiques from Chungking said that attacks all along the line were in full swing and hinted that the Jap positions were far from secure. EGYPT: Air Warfare RUSSIAN FRONT: Bloodiest Battles When Russian troops evacuated Voroshilovgrad, largest city in the Don basin, it was plain that the Ger-man drive southeastward along the Donetz river was threatening to join Nazi troops striking near Millerovo along the railway leading to Rostov, 100 miles to the south. A Soviet communique said that, aside from the loss of Voroshilov-grad, the Russian army still was in-flicting heavy blows on the Germans in two other areas. At Voronezh, from where the Nazis were thrust-ing eastward toward the Volga riv-er, the Russians killed 1,000 more Germans and blasted a path into an-other town which the Germans had captured in their initial break- -' through. The main Nazi drive south of Millerovo also was slowed up. The Russians now are defending an east-we- line situated north of the Pervozvanovka-Likhaya-Stalin-gra- d railway, which is approximate-ly 75 miles north of Rostov. A Russian dispatch stated that American and British built tanks as well as planes were bolstering the Red lines in the imperiled south. A second war bulletin said that the Nazis lost 211 planes in the previous week's fighting. Russian losses were placed at 136 planes. Reports indicate that the battles in the lower Don basin are as bloody as the world has ever known. The extreme southern section was the scene of the most furious fighting, placing Rostov in grave danger. ALEUTIAN: Blind Mans Buff For more than a thousand miles through the waters of the Aleutian islands, a mammoth game of blind man's buff is being played between American air and naval forces and the Japanese in-vaders who may be preparing a major push against continental North America. Bad as well as good news con-cerning the fortunes of this grim game was contained in reports from the Aleutian sector. On the debit side was the navy's announcement that at the same time they landed at Attu and Kiska, the Japs also occupied a third island Aggatu, 750 miles west and slightly north of the United States base at Dutch Harbor, on Unalaska. On the credit side was a com-munique revealing that the landings on the three small islands had cost the Japanese 13 ships sunk or dam-aged. This total included one heavy cruiser, three destroyers and a troop-lade- n transport sunk and an aircraft carrier, four cruisers and three destroyers damaged. The communique disclosed that the Dutch Harbor base was attacked twice on June 3 and 4, instead of once, and that in the second raid an old United States station ship, the Northwestern, whicty had been beached and converted to use as a barracks, had been destroyed. High Honors - .BO"'- SELECTIVE SERVICE: Line-U- p Local draft boards were author-ized to consider registrants for selection on the basis of a new memorandum released by national headquarters of selective service. Following is the order in which such registrants will now be called under the new plan: (1) single men with no dependents; (2) single men who do not contribute to the war effort but who have dependents; (3) single men with dependents and who contribute to the war effort; (4) married men who are not engaged in the war effort but who maintain a bona fide family relationship with a wife only; (5) married men who are engaged in the war effort and who maintain a bona fide relation-ship with a wife only; (6) married men who are not engaged in the war effort and who maintain a bona fide relationship with wife and chil-dren or with children only; (7) mar-ried men who are engaged in the war effort and who maintain a bona fide family relationship with wife and children or children only. "In all cases the dependency status must have been acquired prior to December 8, 1941, and at a time when induction was not im-minent," the announcement said. ALIENS: More Arrests As the Washington military com-mission trial of the eight Nazi sabo-teurs drew to its close the FBI ar-rested 14 persons in New York and Chicago charging them with acting as contacts and assisting the eight on trial. Formal charges had been filed against. six Chicago persons alleged to have aided the saboteur Herbert Haupt. Four others will also be charged with unlawfully and know-ingly assisting the Nazis; three with being dangerous alien enemies; and one is being held in custody pending further investigation. During the saboteur trial it was revealed that they had been sur-prised by John C. Cullen, coast guardsman, when they landed from a submarine on the coast of Long Island in June. Cullen was on a six-mi- coastal patrol at the time. When he discovered them they threatened him and he pretend-ed to accept a bribe but rushed im-mediately to his headquarters to spread the alarm. MAC ARTHUR ON WAR : 'Off the Record' In an "extremely frank" two-ho-talk to more than 100 newspaper editors and correspond-ents, Gen. Douglas MacArthur out-lined his views of the entire World war picture and the southwest Pa-cific area in particular. The conference was MacArthur's second since his arrival in Austra-lia. The first was held March 23. MacArthur answered all questions with surprising freeness after being assured that everything he might say was strictly off the record. As usual, MacArthur used sports termi-nology in illustrating his points, making reference to prize fighting and baseball in his explanations. He also made frequent references to his experiences in World War I, when he was chief of staff of the 42nd division in France. BRIEFS: OFFICIAL Although congress had several weeks earlier passed joint resolutions of war against Hun-gary, Rumania and Bulgaria, Presi-dent Roosevelt has now formally proclaimed a state of war with these Balkan countries. DISOBEYS Although he had re-ceived orders to change his course, British submarine commander An-thony Miers, continued to trail an Axis convoy into a heavily harbor. Without guarded damage to his sub or its crew he torpedoed two ships ran a gantlet of enemy planes and warships and later for his act of "disobedience" he was awarded the Victoria Cross. RATIONS A London news report says that fish is now being rationed in Norway and that the food situa-tion in that country is growing acute."

A. F. Kalberger of North Hollywood. Calif., who led the attack of the U. S. army's bombers on the Italian fleet in the central and eastern Med-iterranean sea recently. It was the first participation by U. S. air forces in that theater of war. In Egypt Nazi Marshal Rommel's drive for Alexandria and Suez had been slowed down for over two weeks and the British were busily at work keeping his hard-hittin- g forces off balance. Then the word began to sift through to the outside world that the U. S. army air forces were also in there pitching and bombing. For it was announced from Cairo that Maj. Gen. Lewis Brereton had as-sumed command over these U. S. forces in the Middle East and for some time been directing a series of terrific bombing raids on the ,chief Axis supply ports of Tobruk and Bengasi. In driving through to establish himself some 65 miles to the west of Alexandria, Rommel had danger-ously extended his supply and com-munication lines. It was the job of the United Nations to harass such supply and communication ac-tivities with all possible fervor. Not only were American planes blasting the Axis forces, but the British had called into action many of their navy planes to fight against the land based enemy. Meanwhile on the ground British Imperial and Axis land forces bat-tled back and forth for new foot-holds on the barren wastes near El Alamein. Tanks and truck-born- e in-fantry tangled day in and day out in the g fury of desert war-fare that is Egypt in 1942. General Brereton had been in command of American air forces in India and came to the western des-ert area with large numbers of big d e bombers. He described these as being more than suitable for action on the Egyp-tian front because of the cloudless skies. An announcement from his headquarters indicated that the U. S. bombing units were depending on RAF facilities and ground crews to keep their ships flying. He spoke of splendid "RAF and said that "we also depend on the RAF for intelligence . . ." BAN: On Civil Flights Within the eastern U. S. defense zone, the army has now established a "vital defense area" extending along the Atlantic coast from Maine to the Carolina capes and all civilian and military training and "miscel-laneous" flying has been barred within the zone. The step was tak-en, said the army command, as nec-essary to the "war effort" because much of such flying "jeopardizes the air defense o the area." DENVER. Dr. Margaret Hie Ding Lin, born in Foochow, China, distinguished as the eighth woman in the history of that country to have a medical degree, and now practicing in Chicago, has now been elected the degree of a Fellow of the International College of Sur-geons. She is the only woman to ever have received this coveted honor. SYNTHETIC RUBBER: The synthetic rubber situation was at least partially clarified when Sec-retary of Commerce Jesse Jones re-ported that private industry is pro-ducing rubber at the rate of 25,000 tons a year, and that two govern-ment plants, with an annual capac-ity of 30,000 tons, are in production. Jones indicated that the country will have a production capacity of approximately 100,000 tons by the end of 1942, a capacity of 300,000 tons by August, 1943, and the entire 800,000 tons by the end of 1943. WPB Chairman Donald Nelson said he hoped that by 1944 the U. S. wil be able to supply rubber for the following essential needs of the United Nations: (1) military needs-(2- ) necessary civilian uses of and (3). essential needs of community fire, police vehicles, etc. An agreement has been signed with Bolivia under which the Rub-ber Reserve company will purchase all of that country's rubber for the next five years, except that which is needed for certain domestic uses and for export.
