GEN. MacARIH OR . 1EAD-
QUARTERS, Australia, Sept. 10 -
UP)-The japanese thrust to
within 40 miles of Port Moresby has
been stalled for the fifth consecu-
tive day since the enemy forced
the gap in the towering Owen STAN
ley mountains. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur said today.
In his daily communique, he re-
ported increasing patrol activity on
the south slope of the lofty range,
but said the enemy had not been
able to increase his gain on the
road to Australia's strategic New
Guinea outpost.
Allied aircraft were involved in
most of the days activities, sweep
ing far to Che west of New Guinea
to attack japanese supply ships
again in the Tenimber islands and
executing loW-level raids on the
enemy's mountain positions.

Six Vessels Sunk
By German U-Boat
Action in Atlantic
BY UNITED PRESS

The disclosure that the Canadian
patrol ship Racoon, four Canadian
merchantmen and a Panamanian
ship have been sunk raised to 489
the total of vessels lost by enemy
action in the western Atlantic since
January.
Canadian Naval Minister Angus
Macdonald announced Monday the
sinking of the four Canadian mer-
chantmen and Racoon, a convert
ed motor yacht which was on At
lantic convoy duty. Racoon was
torpedoed, Macdonald said, and the
entire crew of 38 lost.
He did not say whether Racoon
and the merchantmen were lost
in the same action and there was
nothing to connect them with Axis
claims that 19 merchant ships of
$4,000 tons have been sunk from
one allied convoy. On Sunday, a
special communique from Adolf
Hitler's headquarters said allied
ships totaling 125,000 tons had been
sunk, some in the st. Lawrence
river and off the Canadian coast.

SHIP PERSONNEL

Acting Lieutenant commander
John M. Smith was in command OF
Racoon and had three other Off
GERS and "a men under him. Mac
Donald said enemy activity on the
Canadian side of the Atlantic was
increasing.
Raccoon was sunk in fog, but the
date and location were not reveal
ed. Other escort vessels heard her
signal that torpedoes had crossed
her bow, and little later heard
explosions from her approximate
positions. When they reached the
position, however, there was no
trace of Racoon A Royal Cana
dian air force plane later sighted
an empty lifeboat and two floats.
The medium sized Panamanian
ship was sunk off the coast of
South America late last month. The
master. Capt. AXel Broner, lay on
the bottom of a lifeboat to keep
from being kidnapped and taken off
on the submarine, and members Oh
the crew told submarines officers
that he was a wounded seaman.
Broner, SO members of his crew and
eight naval gunners have been
landed at an east coast port.

SHIPS STRAFED

Royal Australian air force Hud-
son bombers bombed and Strated
two small japanese cargo ships at
Saumlaki, a harbor at the south
eastern tip of Jamdena island, one
of the Tenimbcrs. Results were
not observed.
The raid on Japanese supply
lines was in the same general area
as those reported yesterday by Mac
Arthur, in which three cargo ships
were attacked in the Tenimber and
Kai island groups. The general
location is only about 300 miles
north of Darwin, Australia, and 400
west of New Guinea.
The combat zone in the Moresby
area was vaguely defined as several
miles south of Efolgi, which is
only "A miles by air from the port
itself. While Allied planes swept
over the enemy lines in loW-level
raids, a general lack of Japanese
aerial support again was reported.
DEFENDERS PUZZLED
Observers were puzzled by the
enemy's failure to make greater use
of his interceptor planes. For sew
eral days recently, Macarthur
communicates have said: There
was no interception; all our planes

Here is how the proposed addi-
tional 5 per cent victory" tax, APP
proved by the Senate Finance COM
mittee. will work if the tax becomes
official for l943
On Jan. l, l943. Joe Doakes' en-
ployer would deduct 5 per cent from
his weekly pay check, over and
above his exemption of Sl2 week.
Saying that Doakes made $50 a
week, the employer would calculate
! 5 per cent on S38. That comes out
! Sl.90 per week
At the end of the year, DOakes'
boss would have escrOwed S98.8O
as advance payment on JOe's vic
tory tax liability. This is calcu-
lated thus: 'DOakes' annual sal
airy is S26O0. and his victory tax
exemption is S624, or SO times
Sl2. His victory tax would thus
be per cent of the balance of
S1976, or exactly S98.S0.
But Doakes doesn't have to worry
about that S9880, since it has been
pried more or less painlessly from
his weekly wages. And he's really
banking money. For instance:
If Joe is a bachelor, he is entitled
to a 25 per cent refund, or $2470,
after the war. If he's married. he
gets 40 per cent return, or $685..
However, if Joe is thrifty soul
and buys war bonds or makes pay
ments on previously contracted
mortgages, life insurance or back
debts during l943, he can take all
or part of his postwar credit right
off the bat without waiting for the
war to end.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-09-15
BOND BUYER SCOULD COLLECT

BOND BO En- SCOULD JOLLECl
If Doakes had spent an amount
equal or exceeding all of his 25 per
cent war credit on war bonds, say
he could get it all back Immediately.
If he spent less, he could get back
what he spent, but would have to
wait until after the war for the
balance.
This particular tax, it is esti-
mated, would raise S3,650, ,00O, 900
next year, and would eliminate
similar 5 per cent Withholding
tax now included in a House bill.
Altogether, it seems a pretty
painless way for Uncle Sam to raise
additional revenue, since it's really
a blood brother to war bonds in
putting aside some funds for the
future.

Our Brazilian neighbors haven't
been at war very long, but accord
ing to Ambassador Carlos Martins,
they've one wartime wrinkle that
fneither allies nor axis have hither-

corps. That's right. The Brazilian
Florence Nightingale leaps from the
plane, jerks the ripcord and floats
down to her prospectice patient.
BOY BIRTH RATE RISES
Almost since the first cave dwell
led took his club and went out to
do battle with his neighbor over the
hill, nature has compensated for
manpoWer losses by raising the
male birth rate in wartime. For
centuries this surplus of boy births
in times of conflict has been mark
ed.
Various reasons for this phe-
nOmenOn have been advanced.
When the world was much young
er, supernatural powers were sup
posed to have sponsored the male
birth increase-a belief still some
what widely accepted by the COM
mon man. Science, up to now,
has suggested that such increases
were the product of a vaguely
defined law of compensation.
World War II is no exception to
the old theory. Birth statistics
from several countries indicate an
exceptional increase in male rates.
And recently a Swedish professor,
Gunnar Dahlberg of the Race Bio
logical Institute at UppSala, has
come forth with a pretty clear-cut
explanation of why more boys than
girls are Dor min wartime.
In normal times, the professor
says, pregnancies average some 100
male TO each 100 female. HoWev-
er, about twice as many male en-
bryoS are lost through miScarriages
as are female embryos. This reduc-
ton in actual male birth cuts the
relationship to approximately lO5
boys to each 100 girls.
For some reason, wartime reduces
the number of miscarriages, as well
as the number of births among the
working classes. The result is GER
tain displacements pointing to an
increased number of boy births. Or
so says Professor Dahlberg, whose
statistics apparently prove it.
