Jap Reserves Bombarded
The communique said Neither

Japanese storage yards near COST
haven. at the souptheastern end of
Sumatra opposite Java, starting
numerous fires.
Allied aircraft, by slashing

Australia.
Spokesman, fearing that Java
was isolated because of enemy &C.
cupation of Bali and Timor. had
said that normal communication
with Australia had been severed.
Thursday. however, IL was
asserted on good authority
that communication with Aus
tralia. and thus with the Unit
ed States by the trans-Pacific
route, was functioning nor
mally and IL was indicated the

planes and warships was re-
spOnsible.

Many necessities of life are ra.
toned. while many luxuses have
disappeared. Each person gets sc
coupons annually for clothing. A
man will use rs coupons for suit
five for a shirt. A woman will
surrender IL coupons for a wooden
dress and one for pair of stock

stockings-only rayon, cotton and
wool.

cheese. butter. fats, preserves.
canned and dried goods are all
rationed by coupon. Eggs and
oranges are rationed by ALLEGATION.
The egg quota over the winter was
less than three eggs per month
per person. Oranges may be had

Adults may have two pints

and children under one two
psnts per day.
The national health under
rationing has been good, In
dicating the rations are ample,
but 10 an average American
they would seem meager.
Fuel consumption il restricted.
The ordinary householder may not
have more than a ton of coal per
month without special permit.
Americans would suffer from the
cold in most British houses.
Car owners can get only a few
gallons Of gasoline per month.
Soap IL the latest article to be
rationed. Cigarettes are not ra-
toned but are scarce. 1t has be-
come virtually impossible to buy
liquor by the bottle. Synthetic
spirits reminiscent Of American
prohibition have appeared.
Transportation has gradually
become more restricted. Most sub
urbanites cannot reach home after
about 11:3o p. m. unless they live
along mainline routes.
London theaters are busy
but close early. Late diners In
the west end sometimes find
restaurants have run out of
food.
Many other examples could be
cited TO show what the war and
the resultant scarcity. rising
prices. heavy taxes and part time
defense activities have done to the
average Britisher's way of living.

For the first time since the de-
precision. a majority Of the IS
states have accumulated surplus
funds as the result Of increased
defense employment and higher
wages. a state-by-state survey dis
closed Thursday.
State revenues from income.
excise and sales taxes have
In general exceeded expecta-
lions Of legislators who drew
up the levies when the defense
program was beginning.
For years most states have been
operating in and out Of the red,
but now state officials are con-
fronted with the problem of using
their cash balances TO the best
advantage in the war effort.
Many states. the survey showed,
anticipate heavy losses Of revenue
from reduced automobile and gaso-
line tax collections. Whether cur
tailed highway and public works
construction resulting from mate
rial shortages would offset these
anticipated revenue deductions, tax
authorities and state officials re-
fused TO hazard a guess.
To Pay Up Deficits
Neither would they predict
whether increased expenditures for
state war activities would be bal
anced by revenues tapped from the
high employment level.
At least five states-California,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota
and North Dakota-plan to pay
up general fund deficits and other
debts
Several states have invested
In defense saving bonds.
Minnesota is building up a post
war reserve fund for construction
of highways and public works
after the war to cushion the i'm
pact of anticipated unemployment.

Similar to the experience OF the
Brftish. Americans may expect
heavy taxes. q shortage of luxuries
and q progressive elimination of
many comforts and pleasures.
In Britain one gradually became
accustomed 10 the restrictions and
hardly realized how much In the
way Of living had been foregone.
The realization II brought home
wildly, however. by the contrast
n one travels to the United States
and finds himself suddenly in the

satisfy every within.

The r. A. A. F. continued its

Edward J. Ward. Minister Of Labor
and National Services, announced
sweeping changes in the reserved
occupation system whereby most
men now engaged in large number
OF industries and occupations will be
made eligible for military service.
Bennett Denies Report Asked.
At Sydney Maj. Gen. Henry
Gordon Bennett, who commanded
the Australian forces in Malaga,
denied he had been asked to give
the British government full report
on the Malayan campaign. This was
in reply to a statement by Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden that no
House Of Commons debate on the
fall of Singapore would be held until
report had been received from
Gen. Bennett.
Last week I was asked specific
questions by the War Office through
the Australian Military Board" Gen
Bennett said Il answered these
only few questions relating almost
entirely to what happened in the
last two days at Singapore.
This could not be regarded In
any sense as report. - Naturally
