CHUNGKING, Aug. 20.
(UP)-Chinese army intelli-
gence reports indicated today
a majority of Japanese
troops which were engaged
in the Kiangsi and Chekiang cam
paigns against Allied bomb Japan"
air fields are now being reequipped
and reorganized at Hankow.
Although it was reported the Jap
anese may be preparing for new
offensiyes in Hupeh and Honan
provinces, there was a general feel
ing in Chungking that Japan will
avoid any large scale commitments
anywhere in the Far East SO that
its forces can be kept intact and
mobile for major campaigns against
Russia or India.
STALLED INVASION
Some observers here believed the
American successes in the Solomon
Islands may have stalled a con-
templated japanese invasion of ST.
IBERIA, and may force the enemy to
concentrate its attention in the
south Pacific.
1t was believed here that if the
SolomonS are held by United States
forces, Japan may find it necessary
to continue on the defensive in
China and pour reinforcements, es-
pecially planes, into the entire
southern zone.
This would mean a realignment
OF japanese strategy, with Japan
finding it necessary to take pre-
cautions against any further United
Nations offensives.

This Little Pig Went

Bumpety-bump went Adolph Od-
ermatt's pickup truck as he mo-
tored through the countryside, en-
joying the wonderful weather.
In the back of the pickup with
its sides four feet high was his
only passenger prize pig.
Inspired by the cool breeze and
the brilliant blue sky, Odermatt
practiced his yodeling. RR has nc
way of knowing what inspired the
pig but the pig grunted and snort
ed contentedly.
About 100 yards from the Evan
Hewes house, something happened
TO make the pig discontented with
his equipage or possibly he had had
quite enough of Odermatt's brand
of yodeling and yearned for some
hot 1--WE. At any rate, the pig sud-
denly stepped grunting and sailed
out over the sides of the truck
and took off down the road
Odermatt had to stop yodeling
because that was the first time he
ever saw flying pig. He stopped
the truck and en- foot pursued the
pig down the road in q cloud OF
dust and showers of flying gravel
As a yodeler Odermatt is better
than the pig but as racer the
pig was tops. With Odermatt
Sprinting in pursuit the pig skidded
around the gatepost and sped into
the HeWeS yaro. OdermaUt got
through the gate too but never will
be the same.
The pig dashed through the
HeWes yard faster than one of those
new bombers going somewhere in a
hurry Odermatt's speed was more
like that OF q slightly disabled jeep
Splash!
That pig jumped feet first into
the HeWes reservoir and began
swimming rapidly around with only
his nose protruding. That stopped
Odermatt because he heretofore had
had little acquaintance with amphi-
bian pigs.

Soldiers Want TO
Settle Down in
AIaskaAfter War
Many Service Men Will
Return to Territory
With Wives, Says Burton

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.
(UP)-U. S. soldiers station
ed in Alaska like the coun-
try and many have expressed
a desire to settle there with
their families after the war, Sen.
Harold H. Burton, R., O., said to-
day on his return from an inspec-
tion tour of north Pacific defenses.
A member of a senate military
affairs subcommittee which made
the inspection trip. Burton said
right now, there are more men
in Alaska than there have been
since the days of the gold rush"
CONVINCE WIVES
He said government officials III
the territory informed him that
many soldiers have asked about
obtaining land there and that "all
they have to do now is convince
their wives that it is the best thing
to do
The fun report of the subcom-
mittee will be made in secret when
its chairman, Sen. A. B. Chandler.
D., Ky. returns to Washington.
Burton said, however, that the
trip convinced him Alaska must
be recognized as a complete Ameri-
can front" because it is key po-
sition in which early offensive action
IS less costly and holds far greater
promise of large scale success than
does defensive or long deferred Of
fsnSive action"
PRAISED OFFICIALS
He praised civilian, navy and army
officials in Alaska who, despite
handicaps, were always ready to
cooperate with one another"
Alaska and Siberia, he said, must
be recognized as the natural, direct
military route to the heart of jap
an" and offensive action aided by
a complete unity of command for
Alaska, both within and between
the armed forces"
Burton proposed this tree fold
program for enhancing the value of
Alaska:
l. Improve airport and road ia
cilities.
,. Develop agriculture, not as
relief projects, but as permanent
experiments in making the terri
tory self-sustaining.
3, Increase the value of mineral
resources by governmental investi-
cation of undeveloped deposits and
improved transportation.

Taking
Control
WPB Chief Will
Take Many Powers
Held by Services

WASHINGTON, Aug. ~.
(UP)--War Production Chief
Donald M. Nelson today
planned to take over much OF
the production schedule pow
ers which have been exercised eX-
clusively by the armed services as
the second step in his recently en-
unciated get tough" policy.
The action, which may be taken
within the next week or 10 days,
would go far beyond the withdrawal
of the services, priority powers
which Nelson had announced effec-
tive Sept. 7. 1t would provide what
officials called "fingertip" controls
by WPB over the flow of materials
FIRST STEP
Officials said the projected move
might be the first step in a gen.
eral revision, or even junking, of
the entire present priorities system
Possible transfer of several thou
sand field representatives of the
army and navy to supervision by
the war production board or some
joint WF5-armed services group is
under study. WPB officials believed
that such transfer would have to
be taken to insure mayimum output
of guns. ships, planes, tanks and
munitions.
They added that the action would
prevent stockpiling of parts, pos
Sible now under the present prior
tiles requirements plan, and would
insure use Of scarce materials in
production of items. for the battle
fronts as rapidly as possible. Such
materials under the present system
frequently go into inventories for
production scheduled several months
in the future.
The move would not only fix WPB
control over the flow of materials
but would give it supervision over
/ production which, it has not eXer-
ciSed recently.

1Orce-had placed Nazi-held Europe
under a continuous bombardment
which has been in progress with
little or no let up for 81 hours.
The daylight attack was directed
most strongly against northern
France. Coastal observers said that
a succession of Raj fighters. fighter
-bomLers and bombers droned over
the English Channel in q nonstop
attack that was rated one of the
heaviest-if not the heaviest-of the
war.
The heavy British bombers blasted
night targets in the German rear,
starting great fires in the Bavarian
war center of Nurnberg and the
coal-iron-steel center of Saarbruck-
en-. American flying fostresses con-
.inued to make daylight bulls eye
attacks on selected detectives. The
latest being an airplane factory at
Meaulte, near Amiens.
NAZIS SLOWED
The powerful Allied air attack
came at a moment when the Red
army appeared to have slowed the
NaZi assault on Ota:-ngrad in some
of the bloodiest fighting of the war.
The Germans had reached the
