American airmen in the Solomons
ushered in the Yuletide by blasting
"a japanese planes at Munda, knock
ing out aircraft batteries there and
pounding barges attempting to land
reinforcements and supplies.
Two raids were carried out on the
day before Christmas, the Navy said
in a communique yesterday, by
planes operating from Guadalcanal,
ITO miles from the new Jap air base
at Munda on New Georgia Island.
Fourteen enemy planes were shot
down and 10 destroyed on the ground
in the first raid, without damage to
our own planes. Weak" anti-air-
craft fire met the Americans but was
quickly silenced by strafing, the Navy
said.
On a return trip, the Americans
bombed the barges and the airf1eld,
the latter from "low altitude in the
absence Of any enemy resistance. !"
The Navy acknowledged that four Of
the barges succeeded in landing.
Destruction of the "a planes
brought Jap losses at Munda to 80

Rubber

Gillette said, adding that "the
amount of rubber available after a
years time is so small as to bring
about concern"
The first thing we want to de-
termine is the demand for alcohol
for all purposes and whether WPB
officials. in estimating the demand,
have envisioned adequately the
needs for synthetic rubber produc-
ton and projected plants to assure
that supply" he said.
Expansion to Be Queried.
Senator Gillette related that
Fraser M. Moffat, former group
chief of the WPB's chemical
branch, told the committee in April
that an estimated need of 365, ,0OO,-
600 gallons of industrial alcohol in
1943 included 36.000,000 gallons for
rubber. This, Senator Gillette said
represented substantially the same
amount of rubber as would be OBJ
tanned from petroleum.
With nearly nine months having
elapsed, Senator Gillette continued,
':it is time to inquire what their
estimates are now, and what pro-
duction of alcohol is anticipated
from expanded distillery produc-
tion."

In Dublin, Fire, since the war

Those who use gas for lighting are
doomed to a winter of candles, as
the gas is turned off early in the
evening The streets are still cleo
tricaily lighted, but illumination is
subdued. The cupboards are be-
ginning to look bare. The stores
are we'll stocked. but prices are
high. and some foods, bacon for
example, are getting extremely
scarce.
The bakeries still have plenty of
frosted cakes and pastries, and
crowds patronize the cafes for cof-
fee on Saturday mornings as much
as IN pre-war days.
