Pearl Harbor Feb 13 (AP) - Definite warning that Japan itself could expect the same sweeping de- structive assaults visited upon her md-Pacic s- lands came, Navy officials told their story of the sea and air action of Feb This long distance attack by U. s, task force demonstrated how the war can be taken directly to the enemys doorstep regardless of the distance one officer said.

Bartlett said this morning Tn some instances these drives have been for the purchase of fighter and interceptor planes; in others a heavy bomber was the goal. In no instance has the amount called for been under subscribed and in nearly all sit nations the designated sum has been attained long before the campaign deadline.
 'I feel confident that Alaska will respond wholeheartedly to this immediate campaign which, although it is only a small part of the whole Defense Savings program, will give tangible evil dence to the men of the U. s. Army Air Corps that we are with them all the way MT. Bartlett said.

HEAVY ENROLMENT
FOR SUMMER TERN

Chapel Hill. April 6.-Replies to a
QUESTIONABLE recently distributed
among University Of North Carolina
students here indicate the summer
session enrolment will be the heav-
lest in the history Of the institution.
Chief reason for the increase IN
the summe enrolment is that many
students wish to take advantage Of
the university's speed-up program
which provides four full quarters Of
work and permits qualified fresh
men TO start their work in the sum
mer instead of the fall. More than
100 freshmen are expected to enter
the university this year when the
first summer term begins June II.
The second term begins July % and
continues through August %.
The answers to the missionaries
also indicate that the enrolment next
fall may equal and possibly exceed
last falls.
