Soviet reports indicated that the
Germans massed a great superiority
of numbers, tanks and aircraft in
the offensive and made plain that
the best Russian efforts have only
checked or temporarily slowed the
movement of some of the German
advance guards.
The Russians were preparing a

forts of civilians to building forts

BATTLE FURY
A battle of equal fury was raging
in the southwest Pacific where
American and Japanese air and
naval forces we're locked in a strug-
gle which may determine the con-

communications line.
Some British reports suggested
that the main American and Jap
anese battle fleets may fight it
out in the Solomons area and char
acterized the encounter as a possi-
BILE second Jutland.
There was, however, no new spe-
cific reports on the main naval
air action but Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's bombers we're ranging over
Japanese bases around the fringe
of the Solomons, attempting to
break up Japanese efforts to rein
force their detachments in the bat
tie zone
Chinese forces were driving ahead
with new vigor against the Japa-
nese in Chekiang province and re-
ported that they had the Bomb

and Lishui under virtual siege. The
Japanese appeared to be moving out
of this area and transferring their
attention farther north.
The Russians we're reported to be
sending reserve troops into action
in an effort to break the momentum
of the all-out Nazi drive toward

 When anyone spoke of privilege in the heretofore, he usually meant self sh per- sona1 advantage. President Roosevelt used the term in a very different sense in concluding his me ssnge to Congress on the control of imitation.

WASHINGTON, D. c. - A thrill ling account of an attack by Is Jap anese heavy bombers on a United States aircraft carrier and other warships - an encounter which 16 of the Is attacking enemy planes were shot down - was told by the U. S. navy department.
 In it's Wednesday nights com munique, the navy said Lieutenant Edward H. O'Hare of St. Louis was the hero of the engagement. Flying a carrier-based plane, he alone shot down 6 of the 16 planes bagged by the Americans. The other 10 Jap bombers were accounted fo rby other fighting planes.
 The navy said two of the U. S. fighter planes were lost in the fur ious engagement, but one of the pilots was later rescued The war ships, said the navy, suffered not a scratch.

CIVILIAN BLOOD TIPPING PROGRAM UNDERWAY
 IN TERRITORY

The Territorial Department of Health, in attempting to forsee and prepare for all possible emergencies relating to health and sanitation which may arise throughout the Territory during the present war, has considered possible needs in case of actual bombing of cities with re- sultant injuries to civilians.
 Information coming from Pearl Harbor, Manila and elsewhere, re- fers to blood, serum or plmasa trans fusions to injured civilians and to the armed forces as one Of the most important of life saving measures in eases of severe burns or serious in iuries.
 Before a blood transmission can De administered, the blood of the giYer ldonor) and the receiver (recipent) must be matched. As the blood of human beings falls into four separ- ate groups and as all groups are not compatible, it is a great time-saYer to have as many persons as possible typed tor 'agroupeda) before em- ergencies arise.
 The Division of Laboratories of the Territorial Department of Health is prepared to begin 'typing' in diYiduals in all of Alaska so that if injured and in need of a transmission, one lengthy procedure, that of typ ing the injured person, will be elim- mated. This same information will make it possible to set up a perman- ent list of donors and with their blood type known it will be a time saving and perhaps life-saving step sn case of serious injury.
 After this date all blood specimens sent into the laboratories for var ious examinations will also be typ ed' and a record of the blood type will be made The individual will be furnished a permanent card with name. address, and blood type indi- cated. These cards should always be carried on the person.
