The Japanese have stepped up
their land attacks in the increas-

canal Island and are giving little

marines defending the tiny but
precious airfield.
During the last eight days of the

been at least IS enemy land as

pierced the American lines. only to
be thrown back with heavy losses
by strong marine and army coun-

Australian
 Women On
 Firing Line
By Margaret Kernodle { Associated #Press)

Meet Australia's woman of the hour, Mrs. Herbert Evatt. Her uu- heralded arrival in America with her husband, Australia's foreign minister and attorney general. holds as much drama for Austral- ians as did the landing of Mrs. Mac Arthur in the land down under.
 When I met American-born Mrs. Evatt in her New York hotel suite shortly after she stepped into this country from an exciting Censor ed, censorer) trip. she made it clear that American women can ex- pect to take an increasingly i'm portant part in this state of total war
 She has goldfish blonde hair, dim pies and dignity.
 She is vice president of the Wo. mems Auxiliary National Service oi Australia's capital, Canberra, and is serving as Jason officer between the VANS and the government. Her political knowledge she gained from her attorney general husband Before the war, her main interests were politics and painting.
 Good Luck Charm
 For good luck on her trip she wore a heavy silver pin bearing hei husbands family crest with the motto Be Brave and Wise"
 All Australian women are now registered for war service, says Mrs Evatt. This registration provides a permanent list from which worker. can be selected as needs come a long. Some work full time, some part time, but Mrs Eyatt, who was working herself when she got ar hour and a half notice to leave foi America says every woman is do ing some kind of war work. Every one, she insists, is ready to move instantly.
 All she brought with her was small handbag containing lingerie gown, toothbrush, one thin frock aspirin, a tiny first-aid kit, pow der and lipstick. She shopped foi one smart but simple evening gowr in New York.
 The most important job of Aus tralian women is keeping lines O communication open. Bikes are tn, i thing wherever bombs might fall.
 Youngsters Help, Too
 The ambition of children like tn, Eyatts' ten-year-old daughter, Ros alind (who like every other Austral ian youngster is busy with junioI Red Cross schedule), is to be olc enough to join the Bike Corps

AIaSkanS Are
 Urged To Grow Food Gardens

"Alaskans who plant a garden this summer will be making a def mite contribution to the war ef- fort says Acting Governor D. L. Bartlett. Every pound of yegeta- bles grown in the Territory will mean that ships will be able to car " instead a pound of urgently needed defense equipment. The AL askan who becomes garden consci- ous will also be doing his pocket book a service, since it is almost in eYitable that the price of vegetables will increase during the months ahead
 "L. T. Oldroyd, Director of the Extension Service of the University of Alaska, advises that a garden tract 100 by 100 feet will supply vegetables for use during the sum mer, for canning purposes and for winter storage for a family of five or six people. A goodly supply of vegetables may be expected from tract only 20 by 50 feet if it is well cared for and properly fertiliz- ed.
 Because potatoes are so bulky 10 ship, every possible effort should be made to produce our own. Pota- toes will give the proyerbial in crease of tenfold. Locally produced seed potatoes will give the most satisfactory results in most instan- ces. Surveys have been made throughout Alaska and it has been ascertained that there are plenty of seed potatoes available to meet any demnads.
 MT. Oldroyd suggests that green vegetables should be preserved by canning during the summer and stored away for winter use. Such vegetables as rutabagas, cabbage, parsnips, carrots, beets and turnips can be kept most of the winter if stored in a cool place.
 Small fruits, such as raspberries. strawberries, entrants and goose berries grow successfully in all parts of Alaska and should find a place in all backyard gardens They can be canned for winter use All kinds of wild fruits and fruit juices can be preserved in various ways for the year around food sup ply.
 There is now en route from Washington supplies of bulletins advising the home gardner. Any one desiring a copy of this booklet can obtain one without charge by writing to the Governors office. President Charles E. Bunnen of the University of Alaska and MT. Old royd are ready to furnish every pos sible assistance in the program to increase Alaska's agricultural pro- duction and in this connection the Extension Service is currently en- gagged in conducting a series of gar dening classes throughout the Ter ritory.
 Again let me urge everyone who can do so to plant a garden this summer. The planting season will soon be here; it is time now to start planning and preparing so that Alaska may have a banner crop this year"

A fire believed to have been
caused by defective wiring damaged
the center portion of the Chevy
Chase Club to the extent of about

Sackett Of the Chevy Chase Fire
Department.
The blaze started in the top of a

Roosevelt Seeks
To RestoreC
|nHousingFunds
Says $40, 100000
SIoshed by House
Badly Needed Here

President Roosevelt promised
today that every effort will be
made to have the Senate restore
to pending appropriation legis-
lation the amount cut by the
House for war housing here au-
thorized in the Lanham Act.
The President disclosed this inten-
ton to a press conference when he
was reminded that the House had
slashed $50 500 900 from a $50 ,ooO, 600
authorization for construction OF
emergency living quarters in the
Capital area.
Remarking that the money and
the housing involved are very much
needed, the Chief Executive added
that everything that can be done will
be done to have the Senate restore
the appropriation to its full amount.
Ellender Launches Fight.
A fight to restore the House cut
was launched in the Senate yester-
day by Senator Ellender, Democrat,
OF Louisiana, who told his colleagues
the amount allowed by the House
Will not meet the problem. He said
he would suggest that the Senate
subcommittee on Deficiency Ap-
preparations hold hearings.
AS voted by the House, the supply
bill marks $4,000 900 for dormitory
construction for single war workers
and s17,500,000 for community
facilities and necessary public works.
About tvo-thirds of the expend-
itures would be within the District
and the remainder in nearby Mary
land and Virginia.
In slashing the fund, the House
deleted S18000,000 for permanent
dwelling units for 1000 families and
cut $500, 1000 from the community
facilities fund.
10 Million Called Actual Need.
Senator Ellender, who helped draft
the act authorizing the housing and
public facilities program. said the
amount originally recommended by
the Senate Education and Labor
Committee-s70 000, ,000-was actu-
ally the amount needed, but that I'VE
agreed to cut that down to s50,000,-
000." Cutting it further to S29 ,5O0,-
900 does not meet the situation, he
said.
National Housing Administrator
John B. Blandford, jr., said after a
White House conference yesterday
that excellent progress was being
made toward starting construction
on the proposed dormitories. Eight
sites already have been designated
for the structures, and blueprints
and model of proposed dormitory
dwellings were submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt at yesterdays con-
ference.
