Fairfax Highs Rector
As F|ashy on Mound
As He Is on Track

A versatile lad is George Rector
of Fairfax High School, whose shit
twirling against Washington-Lee
brought his mates a 6-5 victory
their sixth of the campaign.
Rector, a victim Of wobbly support
at times, demonstrated his track
prowess Tuesday by collecting 10
points in a dual meet with Mont
gomery Blair, but If that stint weak
ened him it wasn't noticeable yester-
day. His pitching has accounted for
all of Fairfaxs victories.
The winner clinched the game
with a two-run rally in the eighth
featured by singles by Birch, Moeller
and Watts.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. 10.
The Australian public and press
last night hailed the news of the
Allied attack on Japanese bases in
the Solomon Islands with enthusi-
asm restrained only by the cau-
tious meagerness Of the early ON
cial reports Of the fighting.
Editorial writer's welcomed the at
tack as the first United Nations
move in the right direction in the
Pacific after a prolonged enervat-
ing period Of generally passive re-
sistance."
The communicates from Washing
ton, Pearl Harbor and Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters aroused great
er interest than the reports Of VIC
tories in the Coral Sea and Midway
operations in May and the earlier
raids on the Gilbert and Marshall
Islands.
This was because the Australian
public read into these terse official
communiques the belief that the
Allies at last were hitting back at
the Japanese in something more
than defensive or hit-and-run
operation.
Not Purely Local Attack.
The well-informed military COM
mentator of the Sydney Morning
Herald said the official announce
ments show the attack on Tulagi,
in the Solomons, is not purely local.
IF sufficient forces are available
1t is inconceivable that the attack
will stop short of an attempt to oust
the Japanese from their main base

not yet freed from the threat Of in
vasion.
But while that risk remains we
now see an encouraging blow from
the Allied side Of the ocean which
if forced effectively would round of
the outer shield for our most vital
eastern seaboard, but this activity
beyond our shores increases our
need for self-reliance, particularly
since some Allied supplies once des-
tined for Australia must now be
diverted to more threatened lands"
The Sydney Morning Herald in an
editorial declared News of the
naval offensive against the Solo,
mons brings relief and encourage
ment. This is the kind Of action,
breathing the true offensive spirit,
which has long been hoped for. It's
outcome will be tensely awaited.
Given a reasonable measure Of sue
cess, we may look to notable easing
of the danger which lately has
arisen in the New Guinea area"
The paper added, though, that
"elation should not blind us to the
difficulties of the enterprise"
The Sydney Daily Telegraph
called the news OF the attack "stim-
ulating" as 1t 'is the first positive
action to throw the Japanese out
Of the islands to Australia's north.

lieve this second front will be most
