 TOEnd Slump
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON Donald Nelson. chairman of the War Production Board. this week urged that Amer ican business throw its weight through advertising behind the ef- fort to shake off the production slump, caused in part by a false and dangerously premature feeling that the war is in the bag"
 The WIPE chairman, participat- ing with other officials in a broad cast launching war advertising councils. asked advertisers to drive the war message into every ad.'
 Nelson disclosed that June war production had missed the s F bil- lion dollar goal by a half billion and though we are gaining in to- tai output, that output is not ris- ing fast enough to meet the steady rise in our production goals"
 Elmer Davis. chief of OWI, said the military offensive can be ex- pected to grow swifter and heavier which means We shall have to ex- pend larger and larger amounts of materials and suffer heavier casual ties.

Tanks Drive On In South
 Pacific Area
By Associated Press

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC American troops cfashed with the Japs on jungle islands TOO miles apart in two offensive drives in the South west Pacific Friday. A new attack 10 sweep the enemy from the Mubo area of northeast New Guinea was announced.
 Americans and Australians were reported closing in on the Japs there for decisive action. This de- yelopment followed closely the all American drive against the import ant Jap air base at Munda. on New Georgia island TOO miles to the east in the central Solomons.
 Both moves are intended to clear vital sea and air lanes of Jap in reference. The Mubo offensive brought early results in the capture of Green Hill. a strategic point in the enemy defense system. Success ful conclusion of the drive would pin the Japs to their defenses a. round Salamaua. Allied occupation of Mubo removes one of the last barriers to an advance upon Sala- maua and it's neighboring base of Lac.
 In announcing the capture of Mubo. General Macarthur said that 75O Japs had been destroyed. Mubo is 12 miles from Salamaua.
 Action flamed at other ends of the Pacific offensive with U. s. jun gle fighters throwing back an at tack made by the Jap defenders of the air base of Munda and our air force shooting down 45 Jap planes over RendOya island. In the central Solomons where Munda is the ob- Iectiye for the second straight day, U. s. planes dealt a blow at Jap shipping above New Georgia near Eella Lavella island. An enemy merchantmen was sunk and another set afire. Yesterday a communique also reported the sinking of a car go ship in those waters.
 The communique also disclosed that after the second battle of the Kula Gulf, in which a Jap cruiser and three to five destroyers were sunk, the U. s. destroyer Gwin was sunk. It was the third U. s. war ship disclosed to have gone down during the present Solomons war fare. The light cruiser Helena was lost in the first battle in which be- tween nine and 13 enemy cruisers and destroyers were sunk and the night before the battle the U. s. destroyer Strong was sunk while shelling enemy positions on New Georgia.

The great majority of workers
in war plants will spend Labor
Day on their jobs, producing the
arms, equipment, and supplies
needed to defeat the Axis. Work
ers for whom Labor Day will be
a holiday can make their contri-
button to victory by spending the
weekend at home. BY doing
that, they will be helping to re-
lieve a service strain on the heav-
lily burdened railroads and inter-
city buses, which are providing
transportation service essential to
the war effort. For this reason I
earnestly request every civilian
to act as follows:
!. Spend the Labor Day week
end at home.
2. If now away from home on
vacation, return well in advance
of Labor Day or not until several
days after Labor Day.
8. Delay departure on any con-
templated vacation trip until we'll
after Labor Day.
4. If at all possible, postpone
any essential personal trip until
vel latter Labor Day.
S. Both before and after Labor
Day, avoid weekend travel on
trains or intercity buses, and
avoid at all times travel that is
not really necessary.
