Macarthur Appointment

commander. Gen. Macarthur, had
been made supreme Allied COM
mander in the Southwest Pacific
area sent great thrill through the
embattled American and Philippine
forces who called 1t "the answer TO
our prayers"
The fighting spirit that has per-
meated these troops since the start
Of the war was unshaken by the
immediate Japanese propaganda
that their general had deserted
Bataan in favor Of other Pacific
areas. The barometer Of troop
opinion of their commander sky
rocketed and. although thousands
Of miles distant, they firmly believed
their needs would be uppermost in
Gen. MacArthur's plans.

the appointment. They commended

Japs Switch 10 Bombs
Al Corregidor After
Leaflets Fail
First Attack Made on
Philippine Fortress
Since January IA
BY DEAN SCHEDLER,

Associated Press war correspondent.
CORREGIDOR, P. l., March "A
DelayeO.-Th Japanese switched
from leaflets to bombs today after
the failure Of another of their many
peace offerings" but Philippine
American anti-aircraft gunners held
of two full-fledged air raids on
Corregidor Island.
The most recent Japanese-set zero
hour, Sunday noon March %. passed
uneventfully and was accorded the
same concern by Flipinos and Amer
leans as the previous ultimatums.
At e:24 o'clock this morning nine
heavy twin-engined enemy bombers
came out of a clear western sky and
unloaded string of bombs on this
fortress OF 1t. Gen. Jonathan M.
Wainwright, commander of the Fill
pino-American forces. Twenty min
utes later, 27 bombers came from the
northeast and unloaded.
These were the first bombs drop
ped on Corregidor since January IA.
At Least One Plane Claimed.
The group of q planes stayed
above $4,000 feet, but still did not
get away untouched. 1t was re-
ported that an ack-ack shell ex-
ploded in the middle Of the forma-
ton. getting at least one plane.
Another 16 bombers crossed the
island later. heading for Bataan
Peninsula, and the exploding OF
their bombs was heard. At the
same time big Japanese guns on
the Cavite shore line opened up
and landed shells on Corregidor,
but caused no military damage to
speak Of
Corregidor's &harpshooting A.-A.
gunners carried the brunt Of the
battle throughout and In all &C.
counted for two and possibly three
enemy planes.
New Interest Aroused.
Prior to the Sunday noon zero
hour leaflets were dropped on the
Bataan fronts asserting that Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, realizing the
impossible situation, has taken the
last out-safer grounds"
Filipino and American forces were
undismayed by the news Of Gen.
MacArthur's departure from the
Philippine front and were aroused
to wild cheers when it was an

REDS CLOSE FINGERS ON
 NAzI ARMIES
Claim Russians Have Cut Vital German Sup
 ply Route

MOSCOW, Dec. 5. - Sweeping Russian gains, tightening the pin cers threatening the German armies besieging Stalingrad, are reported today in dispatches from the So- viet front.
 Red Army forces, which hay Q driven southwest from the city, are said to have crossed the Don River and are operating on the west bank, close to other Russ units which came down through the Don elbow toward Kalach from points to the northwest.
 These forces, if they meet, will form a triangle with the curving Don River as it's base line and the railroads which run southwest and due west from Stalingrad as it's sides.
 It is claimed that the troops coming from Kalach, have cut in between Vertiachy and Dmitrievka, severing the road over which the Germans have been bringing sup plies for their forces in front of Stalingrad.

 In addition to regular class work and practice, the class witnessed hygiene films, and toured the bio- logy laboratory where they were shown tuberculosis bacillae, spiro- chaetes and miscellaneous slides md cultures
 Such work familiarized the group with laboratory work in the Terri jory and was a part of their dis cussion of community hygiene. Class members reported that they en- joyed the course and felt it had not only prepared them for emer- gencies in their own homes, but made them more competent to help out in other emergencies.

CITY TO INVEST $2O,0O0 IN WAR
 SAVINGS BONDS
Council Adopts Mayor H. l. Lucas Proposal to
 Start Fund

Members of the City Council last night passed a motion author izing Mayor Harry I. Lucas and the Finance Committee to invest $2O,000 in war savings bonds for the purpose of starting a sinking fund which may be used in the future for building new City Hall
 Mayor Lucas suggested the idea to the councilmen, declaring that due to an economical administer ing of city affairs for the la { several years and a fine response from Juneau citizens in paying their taxes, an uninvested fund of approximately $50,oOO now has ac- cumulated.
 He declared that because the city now cannot buy materials for repair, new construction and much of the maintenance work. and be- cause less of the money has to be spent for labor as a result, at least $20,000 could be invested safely in bonds accruing interest monthly
 Chief of Police B. H. Manery re- ported to the Council that Juneau police made 165 arrests last month, collected a total of $l,464 in fines answered and investigated 431 calls. There were six auto accidents dur ing November, he said, and two cars were stolen and recovered as well as many other articles.
 Outside Operations Foreman Bert Lybeck made his monthly report. stating that all drains have been kept open in spite of heavy rains during the first part of November, and that crews have been kept busy recently in graveling an d sanding streets and sidewalks.
 The Council adopted a motion providing that the parking space in front of the Alaskan Hotel be closed as a taxi stand to aid traf- fic conditions. Although the stand had not been awarded to any taxi company, several applications for the space had been received by the city.
