HkS King George
Sunk, Says Japan

BERLIN, Dee. 10. ,UPD - The
official news agency in a Tokyo
dispatch today said that it was al
most certain that Britains new
$4,000 ton battleship King George
V had been sunk
The Official German agency re-
port that the King George had
been sunk was received with con-
siderable skepticism because the
battleship is the same type as the
Prince Of Wales, which London ac-
knowledged had been sunk off NAL
ava. 1t was suggested that the Ger
man dispatch had confused the two
vessels, perhaps deliberately, to
make the Japanese successes seem
greater There had been no indica-
ton that the King George was in
the Far East
The German DNB dispatch SAID
Tokyo officials stated with almost
the greatest certainty that the
King George had been sunk.

Dsss"'s sssd Quiz

@. Why will there be no tenn
porary, intensive campaign for the
sale of Defense savings bonds and
stamps?
A. Because Defense savings bonds
and stamps are presented as a
means to enable every citizen to
carry out a consistent and con-
tinuous savings program, to be fol-
lowed week by week and month by
month, helping national defense
and providing the saver with money
for use in the future. The pro-
gram is meant to be an extended
savings effort-not short time
money raising campaign.
@. My husband buys a small De-
fense savings bond every pay day.
Should I also invest in Defense
savings bonds and stamps?
A. When you do your daily shop
ping you can buy a few Defense
savings stamps with your change
and eventually have enough to turn
in for a Defense savings bond.
Note-To buy Defense bonds and
stamps. go to the nearest post office
bank, or savings and loan associa-
tion or write to the Treasurer OF
the United States, Washington, D
c. Also stamps are now on sale
at retail stores.
