section and an expert on the de-
sign and manufacture of heavy
ordnance, particularly anti-air-
craft guns. He arrived in Lon
don recently at the head of a
technical mission to work with
the British in correlating Allied
fighting material.
He pointed out that the nature
of his work, concerned chiefly
with developing advanced types
of munitions, must be secret, but
declared neither the British nor
Americans had to concede ANY
superiority to the Germans in
qualitive weapons"
The type of the new secret
weapon was not limited.

Ordnance production as far as

cerned," he said.
He was quick to point out,
however, that the transportation
of weapons from the United
States to Britain was not in his
field and said he could not COM
ment on the shipping situation.
BRITISH PROFICIENT
"A three-week tour of British
factories has convinced me that
America has 4 lesson to learn in
the employment Of women In
munitions making" the general
said at a press conference.
1--WE employ women, but we
are going to have to employ
many more. The British are US
ing women in tasks such as bor-
ing guns, which in the United
States is done only by skilled
mechanics"

WASHINGTON, Aug. Z0-(R1
The battle of the Solomons
apparently was raging with In
creased fury and in q widening
area today as the japanese
rushed reinforcements for q
huge armada seeking to recap
ture American-held shore bases.
Locked in thunderous sea and
air engagements which may poo

inflicted severe damage On
enemy warships and planes In
the southeastern group of the
Solomons while about $50 miles
vest Allied planes from General
MacArthur's h ca uarters

nese convoy.

quarters made it clear that Japan

The counter-attack, fully ex-

and destruction of q gunboat OF

The damaged vessels included
one large and one small aircraft

known to have been part Of the

IMMEDIATE REGISTRATION
IMPERATIVE!

There are still great many Coolidge
adults who seemingly refuse to take seri-
ously the need for enrolment in one or
another subdivision of civilian defense.
Some give the excuse they "don't have
time None of us has for that matter but
wouldn't there be one fine mess around
Coolidge if enemy bombs did start fall
ing and there was no local organization
prepared to handle policing, fires and
other situations which necessarily would
arise?
There is not going to be much place in
Coolidge or in any other town in the
United States for the fellow who won't
do his part in emergency such as that
which faces our nation today and the
sooner each Individual comes to the reali-
zation of this truth the better he will get
along.
Both men, women and high school
boys can serve as airplane spoilers. Men
may serve as either civilian fire Wardens
or police while women may enroll for
special classes in first aid. There are
other special duties from which to make
selection but ALL enrollees should attend
one or another of the first aid classes
just in case.
Enrolment cards are available at the
office of Arizona Land and Investment
where Mrs Frank Watson has charge of
enrolment and registration.
