RUSE BY JAPS
FAILS TO WORK
AMERICAN BOMBERS sue
CEED IN SENDING DIS
CUISED SHIP TO BOTTOM
(By Associated Press)

DARWIN, Dec. 23.-The latest
trick by the japanese, in an at
tempt to get supplies to their be-
leagured forces at Buna Mission
on the island of New Guinea, was
to cover one of their supply ships
with limbs and branches of trees,
so that the ship would resemble
small island, but the ruse was
found out by an American pilot
in scouting plane and reported
to headquarters. Result: a squad
ron of American bombers took to
the air and, a few minutes later,
made several direct hits on the
floating island" and sent it to the
bottom.
In commenting on the reports
from New Guinea today, one war
office spokesman said that the
Japs have been as insiStent and as
persistent as mosquitoes in at
tempts to help the japanese con-
tingents on New Guinea and the
Solomons. The latest failure, that
of the disguised ship that was
sunk. will not stop the Japs from
further attempts, the spokesman
concluded.
Fighting on New Guinea today
was confined to the strip along
the beach at Buna Mission, from
which the Japs have not yet been
diSlodged.

HAVE CURFEW LAWS
(By Associated Pressl

Six Florida cities now have
curfew laws to compel boys
and girls to be home at rea-
sonable hours every night.
Due to the war. the spirit of
abandon seemingly has grip
ed many youths. SO that the
law has been compelled to
step in to curb their inclina-
tons of a mischievous char
acter.
The six cities operating
under the curfew law are
Key West Fort Lauderdale,
Fort Myers. St. Petersburg.
Leesburg and this city. Here
the curfew law has been in
effect one month and its op-
Grafton has been beneficial
in curbing or stopping de-
linquencies among minors.
Girls under is have been
warned in some of the cities
that the fact they are with
escorts will not preclude their
arrest. so if was suggested
that if they are more than
that age. and don't look it.
they should take along their
birth certificates when they
intend TO stay out late at
night.
