Coming With Louis

VELMA MIDDLETON burst
into this world of swing in Saint
Louis, Mo-, just % years ago. De
cided at the age Of 6 she wanted
to embrace the footlight profess
sion and was encouraged by her
parents who discovered that it was
losing fight to try and argue
Nelma out of anything, Started
her professional career after a
series of amateur tneatricals, with
Blanche Galway, then followed
engagements with Erskine Haw-
Eins, Jimmy Lunceford and other
top notch attractions Velma ser.
we'd her apprenticeship on TIE
road with different Units and
made her debut in New York City
at the Kit Kat Club just four
years ago. She remained there by
popular demand fer two years at
ter which she played some of the
most important spots in the east.
Thinks Den Redmon is the great
est musician and arranger in the
business and is his, best publicity
agent. Nelma says she tips the
scale at los and nobody argues
with her. Dances like a light
weight and knows all the rudi-
ments Of dancing having studied
in st. Louis under the finest teach
ers. She is a contradiction to her
own profession because she is a
devotee of the classic and never
misses symphony concert when
she can help it. Hobbies consist
Of swimming, dancing and bicyc-
ling and any morning will find
her in Central Park on her wheel
Velma says her Pet aversion is
coking and household duties but
thinks she might change her mind
some day. We think she will too.
Miss Middleton will appear here
with Louis Armstrong when he
brings his orchestra to Robinson
Memorial Auditorium, August 20
and Pine Bluff. August 81.

Marines Batter
Way Thru Enemy

The Australian force filtering
through the difficult country just
north of the towering Owen Stan
ley mountain range, struck at small
japanese forces which had pene-
trated to Kokoda. The Australian
attack relieved a small garrison CT
Anzac troops and drove back the
Japanese advance guards in confu-
sion.
American Bell Aircobra planes
backed up the land forces at Kokoda
with loW-flying attacks.
Unofficial reports from China told
of bombing attacks, presumably by
American planes, upon the great
Japanese base on Formosa island,
off the Chinese coast. A Chung
king communique reported that u.
S. planes bombed Ycchow. in Hun
an province. without interference
by japanese planes.
The Importance of the Solomon
island expedition was emphasized
in Australia where it was believed
that it may have forestalled a con-
templated strong japanese opera
ton, possibly an operation against
the Australian subcontinent itself.
The possibility was not ruled out,
however that such a japanese at
tack may yet be made in an effcrt
to relieve the Solomon forces, if
tor no other reason.
A dispatch by Robert Bellaire,
former United Press staff cor
respondent at Tokyo now return
ing to the United States, indicat
ed the vital nature of the Austral-
ian zone of operations. Bellaire
reported that should ire japanese
succeed in overruning Australia

TuIosi Capture

WASHINGTON. Aug, l3-CUP) -
Capture by u. s. marines Of Tulagi
harbor, one of the largest and best
harbors in the world, would be "a
major disaster" for the japanese.
naval experts said today.
It's fall TO the hard-fighting leath-
ernecks new consolidating positions
ON three of the islands in the Tu-
lagi area would largely offset the
other naval base losses of the Un-
tied Nations in the southwest Pa
cific.
It's fan too. would deprive the
japanese of a strategic striking
point since it is near Allied ship
ping lanes and within 1000 miles
OF important Australian cities.
Tulagi, under United States DOM
ination, would provide an excellent
complement for Pearl Harbor. Pearl
Harbor now is this ccuntry's only
first class harbor in the Pacific.
When the time comes for a giant
pincers movement against Japan -
and the Solomons attack could we'll
be the first step in that move-Pearl
Harbor and Tulagi will be the big
bases.
Singapore. Cavite in the Philip
pines, and Hongkong were import
ant harbors and bases that had
been built up over a period of many
years. But naval spokesmen said
Tulagi could. TO a large extent. re-
place them.
One of the principal advantages
Of Tulagi would be its use as a sub
marine base. The fall of Manila
