the bottom and another group of yellow invaders to their ancestors. It was American airmen who roared through the skies with fighter planes and dive bombers giving the enemy what one enthused neWsman described as glorious hell"
 It was these Americans. many of whom a few short months ago were following ordinary civilian pursuits, who proved again that Americas s fighting men have the will to win. Given the equipment---the planes, the guns. the ships. the ammunition, the general supplies---these men and their comrades of the United Ma tions will sweep the seas clean of the yellow pestilence; the invaded countries free of the yoke of Axis tyranny.
 The report of that great victory in the Coral sea should send the blood of every American racing. It should make every one Of Us at home determined, that whatever the cost, those ships. guns, planes, tor pedoes and equipment of war will be turned out and delivered to those lads of ours who, because they are free men. are the greatest fighting force on earth. II should bring out those dimes and dollars not already pledged to Uncle Sam for the dUra- tion to buy more war bonds and stamps so the stream of equipment will flow faster and faster.
 Our fighting men are doing their full share and more. They prove it every day. They prove it in a grand way in such engagements as the Coral sea. Are you doing your share? Are you buying up to 10 per cent of your income? That's what is needed right now to win the war. If you haven't the money at the mo- ment, fill out a pledge card that you will save and buy at a future date before the year is out
 Let Us not forget the battle of the Coral sea. On the home front let us pour those dimes and dollars in a never-ending stream into Uncle Sans pocket so more and more and more fighting equipment will go to those grand lads who gave them Glorious HelI' down in the Coral Sea.

GLORIOUS HELL" IN THE
 CORAL SEA

Down in the Coral Sea northeast of Australia where the tip of New Guinea juts off toward New Gale donia and is flanked on the north by the Solomon Islands, there was fought this week the biggest naval and air engagement of the present Pacific war with Uncle Sans forces finally putting the naughty Japs to rout after sinking, at last report, 24 of Nippon's war craft. It was the first major victory for American forces in the Pacific. It halted, at least temporarily, the Jap drive to- ward the Australian mainland and the attempt to reach New Caledon- ia, a strategic spot from which to harass the United Nations supply line from the United States to New Zealand and thence to Australia.
 Comparable, according to some observers, with the famed Battle of Jutland in 1916 when the British and German grand fleets met in mortal combat, it was the first great test of strength for U. s. fore. es in the Pacific Though aided as the battle went on by supporting Allied forces, 1t was primarily an American engagement with the Jap. It was American officers of tht line who maneuvsred their fighting ;raft into position so that Ameri' can gun pointers could get on the mark and send another Jap ship tC

0CD Child Care Unit
Finds Use Of Schools
Needed for Nurseries
Committee Statement
Seeks to Get Action on
Authority for Project

The volume Of need for day care
centers for pre-school children of
working mothers Is too great to be
met without using the public
schools" according to a statement
made public today by the OCD
Child Care and Protection Com
mittee, which was sent to Chair
man Randolph and members of the
House District Committee in sup
port Of the Randolph bill
The statement says the provision
that public school funds cannot be
used for children under 5 must be
stricken out" This would be ac-
con1plished by the Randolph bill
introduced September 2. which
would also restore WPA nursery
schools to the District.
The OCD statement continues in
part:
The manpower board reports that
the reserves OF employable men are
nearing exhaustion and that every
available woman, including those
with children, will be needed !. {.
The United States Employment
Service lists the District of Colum-
bia as an area in which there Is an
actual shortage Of women in the
labor supply. A committee,
appointed by Commissioner Mason,
found $50 trained nurses, residents
OF the District, OF whom a large
proportion might be available for
work II they could find care for their
children
Affects Efficiency.
The statement continues that en-
ploye counsellors In Federal ofiices
report that they are losing skilled
employees because OF the dearth Of
day care facilities In Washington.
They also report "a decrease In
efficiency OF their workers, either
because OF worry shout their neg
lected children or because OF fire.
Quent emergency leaves Of absence" :"
The use of public schools for
nursery schools, says the OCD COM
n1ittee. would eliminate the need
Of public transportation for chill
dren under S, because school build
lngs are scattered throughout the
city. Use OF schools also would re-
duce overhead for rent, heat and
service, according to the statement.
Churches that have offered their
facilities for nursery schools will
be needed In addition to the public
school space.
The OCD committee approves
the principle 6f WPA and Lanham
Act nurseries that parents should
bear part Of the cost OF such school,
ing. In studies made by various
social agency and labor groups in
washington 1t has been found that
20 per cent OF parents felt they
could pay only up to IS a week.
No Meeting Yet on Bill.
The House District Committee has
not yet met to consider the Ran
dolph bill. First, q quorum was
lacking, and today the chairman
was getting back to town after q
