 Used Sets Record

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Dec. l5.-tAP)-The increasing power of the Allied air force in the southwest Pacific struck again at New Britain with new records in weight of bomb loads dumped on objectives.
 General MacArthur's c0mmun- ique said the full fury of the blows fell on both shores of the huge island, with machine gun bullets added to the tons of bombs.
 The Gasmata area bore the bruht of the assault, when more than 100 Liberator bombers and medium Mitchells dropped 24s tons of bombs in the midday att tack. Only Rabaul received a greater pounding in any one raid when 1t was hammered with $50 tons of bombs on October I2,
 Lakunai airdrome at Rabaul was also a target for the medium oonlbers which left large fires.
 Gasnnata has felt the destruc- tive power of more than 65A tons of bombs in the past few weeks, and might figure as an invasion point should General MacArthur's forces move east ward on Huon Peninsula, New Guinea. which Is also a target of Vice-Admiral Thomas C. Kin kaid's destroyers.
 For nearly three hours the bonlbers poured 1t on in mini- mum altitude, strafing with ma- chine guns as well as blasting with bombs. In previous raids there was noticeable Lack of enemy interceptorS, but this time l9 Japanese planes rose to att tack and two were shot down, all of our planes returning.
 Simultaneous air blows were also dealt to Cape Hoskins on the north coast of the island, and Wide Bay on the southwest coast. Air patrols -raided Cape Gloucester area.
 The Japanese jungle fighters made three strong counter att tacks in early morning. against Australian. troops in the Ramu valley on New Guinea, but were repulsed with heavy losses to the enemy. The Australians here are aiming at the enemy supply base of Madang on the coast of New Guinea.
 Along the Huon coast allied air patrols wrecked 10 enemy harges and light allied naval units and attacked and sank three barges near the Sanga river, and nine off ReiSs Point.

] DEMOS ] FAVOR
 

ANCHORAGE, Dec. 15.-(AP) The Third Division Democratic convention killed the resolution to instruct the delegate to the territorial convention in Fair banks in January to favor the fourth term" for President Roosevelt.
 The debate was the hottest of the convention.
 The opposition contended that the party should not support an administration which continually ignored them, in making federal appointment, citing the appoint ment of James Patterson as di- visional marshal, without party endorsement, and opposition to the reappointment of Federal District Judge Simon Hellenthal and also contended that draft and ration boards, as we'll as OPA offices, were filled without refer enice.
 The party adopted resolutions urging immediate removal of Noel Wennblom as district at torney; the favoring of statehood for Alaska; and granting Alaska the right to elect it's governor.

For the army theatregoers Fri day evening, rare treat was found in store for them in the form. of detailed description followed by amazingly stark and vivid films covering the complete Attu campaign. Captain Kitzval- ter of the Alaskan Department, delivered on of the most open and informative lectures one could possibly ask for in regards to a major war maneuver It is the desire of the War Department to- keep the American soldier high ly informed on the events of this war and with series of lectures of this calibre, the purpose should be easily achieved.
 NOTES FROM AN ARMY HOSPITAL: No .''... there's noth- ing like it. It's complete world all of it's own. From the moment Pfc. Fowler Davis gently remov- ed the thermometer and call to It. Savadis, sir, the reading is hundred" things began to change. After answering a bar rage of questions for Cpl. Paul Cho, dispensary attendant, con- corning everything from religion to the length of my army career, this writer was informed that he was no longer a foot-1oose G-I, but instead, full-fledged patient of Ward No. 1.
 After changing from ops into paJamas and the traditional ma room robe, things began to clear up bit and change into rosier hue, especially after an examina- tion by my physician, Capt. Yin cent J. Conzanello, who informed the patient that survival was pos Sible. -. ...='#s : =.
 A hospital ward is an amazing place. Thanks to the luxury of steam, one can lounge in com plete luxury while the sub-zero winter deals havoc to the wea ther thermometer on the outside.

 Cpl. Thomas Royal, in charge of the ward, Is a chap of many. talents ranging. from recording patients pulse beat to serving the hot meals which are wheeled into the ward inside especially constructed cabinets.
 One meets a lot of interesting people, too. For instance, my hos pital roommate, newly elected Private First Class Herman Tay- Tor, turns out to be former pro- fessional entertainer. You can look forward to many a laugh with this chap at your future beer fests. Then there's Cpl. Robert J.

For Funds Delayed
Set for April ! to Avoid
Conflict With Red Cross

The National Symphony Orches-
tra's thirteenth annual sustaining
fund campaign has been postponed
from March "a to April l to avoid
conflict with the Red Cross drive.
Milton w. King, general campaign
chairman, announced yesterday
After meeting of the committee
heads at the residence of Walter
Bruce Howe, vice president of the
National Symptoms board of di-
rectorS, Mr.. King made the following
announcement:
We are convinced of the impor-
tance and absolute necessity of
maintaining the orchestra of the
Nations Capital in spite of the
many obstacles that face us at this
particular time. But we neither
can nor wish to ignore the fact that
during this month everything is of
secondary Importance to the
achievement of the sl,555, 400 goal
OF Washington Red Cross War
Fund drive.
That must come first, and GER
tainly we who are charged with the
responsibility of the National SYM
phony's sustaining fund campaign
would not consider launching it at
time that might mitigate asainst
the success of the Red Cross drive"
Mr.. King also pointed out that
the dates of their campaign were
established last fall before those of
the Red Cross Drive were set. When
the conflict was called to his atten-
ton, Mr.. King asked board members
to change the dates to April l
through April Is. Although The
entire schedule of the campaign
had been made out, the dates were
changed Immediately, Mr.. King
said.
