las MacArthur's airmen were
credited today with the probable
destruction of two japanese
transports yesterday at Koepang
Dutch Timor, while damage from
a raid by "a Japanese bombers

New Guinea, was dismissed as
insignificant.
The transports received direct hits

ping in Japanese occupied Koepane
Bay. a communique said.
Although minor damage to run
ways" was the only effect officially
noted from the japanese assault on
Port Moresby, military observers
said the raid indicated clearly tha,
the aerial invasion forces based
north of Australia were by no means
knocked out.
The attack was the heaviest on
any Australian base since the thrusts
against Port Darwin in February
Despite heavy Allied raids on Lac
New Guinea. and Rabaul, New Brit
ain, the Japanese still are able to
replace losses.
A communique. however said Port
Moresby interceptors shot down one
neavy bomber. probably destroyed
three others and damaged three OF
the fighters. One Allied plane was

Spending Money MAY
Be Rationed Later,
Official Declares
Proposal Abandoned
Until Anti-InfIotion
Plan Con Be Tested
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The individual spending money
of Americans may be rationed
later, depending on develop
ments, Treasury officials indi-
Gated today, but at least for the
present such a plan has been
abandoned to give President
RooSevelt's seven point antrim
flation program a trial.
A Treasury spokesman and other
officials said the proposal for ra-
tioning individual spending money
was given consideration, not only
by the Treasury but by other Gov
ernment agencies as well, when
surveys were being made of all
kinds of anti-inf1ation possibilities
before Mr.. Roosevelt decided on his
seven-point plan.
The program outlined by the
President featured higher taxes. a
$4,000 limit on individual incomes
after taxes. overall price ceilings
wage stabilization, credit control
intensified War bond sales on a vol
untary basis, and modification of
the farm parity formula to permit
price regulation of farm products
at parity instead of at ITO per cent
of parity.
The Treasury spokesman indicated
he saw no prospect for revival of
the plan, but cautioned that later
events might cause it to be given
further study.
