QudliOltlCS VI lllNdolOtl SUPPLIES.
In the southeastern Solomons, the
marines bolstered positions won from
the japanese a month ago, a Navy
communique said yesterday. But

strength came in the communiques
from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
Australian headquarters and from
the Navy, which told OF lack of
japanese aircraft resistance in New
Guinea and of only periodic at
tacks" by small detachments of in
vaders in the Solomons.

District Gets Increase
In Volunteer Officer
Quota From 7 10 "a
All but Dozen Candidates
Already Approved Can Be
Inducted This Month

Without explanation, a quota
of "a volunteer officer candidates
for September, instead of seven,
has been assigned the District,
local selective service headquar-
ters announced today.
The surprise order from head
quarters of the Sd Service Command
makes it possible for all but about
a dozen men seeking induction as
volunteer officer candidates from the
District to go this month instead
of waiting six to eight months.
Counting 13 vacancies carried over
from July and August, 81 men will
be permitted to enter the Army this
month as volunteer officer candi-
dates.
The order also carried the stip-
u]ation that choice of assignments
would be limited to anti-aircratt
artillery, armored forces, cavalry.
coast artillery, engineer corps, field
artillery, infantry, signal corps, tank
destroyer and chemical warfare
service. This also applies to non
combatant volunteer officer candi-
dates.
Cautioned on Overoptimism.
Previously the men had been given
their choice of any branch of Army
service.
Local headquarters cautioned the
scores of men who have been delug-
ing their boards with inquiries about
their chances of going in as volun-
teer officer candidates not to be over
optimistic because of the increased
quota.
Theer is no reason to believe, it
was explained, that next months
quota will be equally high. However,
processing of another group of po-
tential candidates will get underway
| later this month to develop pool in
case the next quota is as large.
Announcement that most of the
men who already have been ap-
proved would go this month, followed
the second lottery held at local
headquarters yesterday to determine
the order in which 100 candidates
would 60 into the Army.
The results Of the lottery actually
affect only IL men, whose names
were drawn too late in the lottery
for them to be included among
the 81.
Score of Cases Outstanding.
In addition. more than score of
cases are still outstanding, pending
the results of a second physical or
intelligence test or another inter-
view. AS these cases are finally
approved the names will be added
at the bottom of the lottery list.
Volunteer officer candidates with
order numbers from l through 81
in this lottery will be inducted along
with the selectees on the days set
by their local boards for the regular
induction. Like the selectees, they
will be allowed two-week furlough
and, until they become officers, will
come under the provisions of the
law giving allowances and allot-
| ments to their dependents
The District has never been al
lowed higher monthly quota of
volunteer officer candidates than IA
and for most of the time has had
only seven. Intense interest has
been centered recently on this pro-
gram, which is limited only to men
with dependents, because of the i'm
