ago at a rental of $40 a month.
In October, 1941, landlords, Anne

to $42.50.
He said his rent was increased
to $50 on April /, last, and he
refused to pay the added. $3.50 on
the grounds that the federal gov

The Justice Department estimates
that, at the present rate of land
acquisition, the Government will
take over in this war an area equal
to the whole of New England-more
than 30,000,000 acres
Actually, land is being acquired,
in most cases, in small pieces in
different parts of the country for
use as sites for Army camps, naval
bases, airfelds, war housing, bomb
ing ranges, artillery fields. ship
yards and many other purposes
Acquisitions so far total approx
mately 100000 acres. which, with
buildings, are valued at 1924 900, 900.
In number of cases the acquisi-
ton was not a piece of land. For
instance, the huge Stevens Hotel in
Chicago now used by the Army, is
one of the properties that has been
taken over.
A honeybee farm in Mississippi,
a pier s.in New York 7City4-ti1e one

lands, Nov. 9 ,(DelayeO.-Vic Ad-
miral William F. Halsey, jr., has this
formula for winning the war in the
Pacific:
Kill Japs. Kill Japs. Kill more
Japs. Sink ships. Sink ships. And
sink more ships"
The admiral arrived at Guadal-
canal last night to award medals to
l3 heroes in recognition of their
exploits during recent actions in
these islands.
He toured the front shortly after
his arrival and later met the five
correspondents on Guadalcanal at a
press conference. s. .-
He saw many dead Japs on his
visit to the front, Admiral Halsey
related, then, asked how it would be
possible to win<the war in this Sec
tor, replied:
Naval Picture Called Fine"
Kill Japs. Kill Japs. Kill more
Japs, regardless of the nationality
Of the island on which they are
met"
He termed the naval picture fine
from our point of view"
Have naval operations changed
your mind about the role of battle
ships and carriers?" he was asked.
NO" he answered. "One way to
beat the Japs is to sink ships, sink
ships and sink more ships. Maybe
after all the carriers are gone, our
battleships still will be ther to beat
them.
The Marines right here are
beating the Japs on land, and it
is ridiculous to say any one branch
of any one service is going to win
this war. 1t will be not any one
branch of the Navy or Marine
Corps or Army but the united
service group.
(Note: Admiral Halsey's first
order after assuming naval COM
mand in the Southwest Pacific
was: Take off your ties.")
Continuing the discussion of bat
tleships, he said "Battleships will
have decided role in this war be-
fore it ends, and I am an airman."

Foe Reported Planning
Thrust Into Yunnun
From Indo-Chinu
By the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, Nov. ia Chi
nest Army spokesman reported
today there were indications the
japanese were preparing to drive
into Yunnan Province, in
Southwest China, from French
Indo-China.
This thrust he said would be CO.
ordinated with one from the section
of Yunnan Province adjacent to
Burma which the japanese occupied
last spring. They have been sta
tionary there since May.
The spokesman said the japanese
recently secretly increased their
strength in Yunnan by $4,000 men,
bringing the total to 10000, and at
the same time bolstered their air
forces at Wanting and other air
fields in the occupied border region
1--WE are watching developments
very carefully" the spokesman said
He added the japanese had as
sembled landing craft, including
collapsible rubber boats, for crossing
the turbulent waters of the Salween
River as the first step of the drive,
the objectives of which would be the
capture of Running and the pos
sible disruption of air services be-
tween India and China.
He said reports received here say
that the Japanese have comman-
,deered all rolling stock in Northern
and Southern Burma for military
purposes and suspended all civilian
passenger traffic.
The spokesman said that through
coercion the enemy had obtained
from French authorities in Indo-
China secret maps purporting to
show Chinese Notifications on the
Yunnan side of the Indo-China
border. They also were said to be
trying to obtain from the French
details of the preparedness Of
Chinese forces in Yunnan.
Chinese believed that the japanese
drive was likely to start at any
moment, but said it had been antici-
pated with full preparations.
Observers believed these included
unprecedented cooperation be-
tween Chinese ground forces and
American Air Forces.
