at Lac. Modong

American and Australian
jungle fighters who wiped out
the last pockets of Japanese in
the Buna area of New Guinea
over the weekend were closing
in today on the invaders de-
lenses in the swampy Sanananda
area to the north, where, a COM
munique from General MacAr-
thurs headquarters said, the
enemy's position Is now hope
less"
Meanwhile flying fortresses
and long-range Lockheed Light
ming fighter planes carried the
aerial attack again to the Japa-
nese strongholds of Lac and
Madang, far up the New Guinea
coast, and the bombers raided
Gasmata on New Britain Island,
setting a 10,000-ton ship ablaze.
Sanananda, some two miles up
the coast from Giropa and five
miles from Buna, was described
as the last stand of Japanese
forces on the Papuan Peninsula
who advanced last September to
80 miles from Port Moresby,
stepping stone to Australia.
The communique announcing
that the Japanese were hemmed
in a narrow pocket there said
the Allies had. completed the
destruction of the enemy's de-
teated forces" in the Buna area.
William F. Boni, Associated
Press correspondent, reported
from the New Guinea front that
at least 800 japanese were kill
ed or captured in the cleanup
at the Buna government station
and Giropa Point. Another pock-
ct of perhaps 100 Japanese was
wiped out in a 4O0-yard beach
front just west of Giropa Point.
Boni said it was estimated that
more than 200 Japanese were
killed in the government sta
ton sector, and about $50 more
in the Giropa Point area where
Australians attacked with Amer
ican-made General Stuart tanks.

Next month the Nazis will have been in power for 10 years. Today marks the tenth year of Adolf Hitlers accession to power The last ten years tell a shocking story.
 Perhaps you remember what happened in the first year of the reign of terror. The events fol- lowed in swift succession:
 February 1--Reichstag dissolved.
 February 27-Burning of the Reichstag, 5000 Communists arrested. fross - ee. /, st seg April l--Nazs launch boycott of Jews with dem onstrations in the streets of Berlin.
 April 27-Goering creates terrible State Secret Po- lice the Gestapo, october 30-The toll of Nazi terror reaches 3,oo0 executions and murders l1900O wounded, 174,Oo0 jailed
 That was just the start From that time on, Hitler and the German people were headed for war. Chief among other conspicuous events of the Dark Decade:
 January, 26-Germany signs non- aggression pact with Poland
 March s-Nazis reveal that 3O,OoO are or have been incarcerated in concentration camps since be- ginning of Hitler's regime.
 June 3O-Boody Saturday. Nazis purge party. Hitler admits killing IT. Leading figures murdered Gen Kurt Won Schleicher, former Chancellor and wife Erich Klausener head of Catholic action group Ernest Roehm Storm Troop leader who was early party leader and friend of Hitler.

strange moves intended to hasten victory over the Axis powers. The stars are read as presaging suc- cess through odd devices and the seers warn that those who find fault should work and wait. Dark days as well as those that are light ed by high hopes are foreseen.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s.: What is called versatility of sub stance" in the United States is to be fortunate from now on and pro- duction will increase at the time most discouraging for Japan.

 Come without your overcoat, and make sure there are no guns in your pockets" was the reply.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpeW
Sunday, January 31


 Benefic aspects dominate today in which many planetary influences are active It is a day fortunate l for those who look toward spiritual guidance
 HEART AND HOME: Domestic harmony should rule today when the stars awaken aspiration and understanding. The churches will be influenced by the idea of unity and will draw large congregations. Creeds will be subordinated to the fundamental faith which underlies all forms of religion The Bible will be read as never before as the people realize that spiritual devel- opment is necessary if the new order is to bring lasting peace. The rise of an eloquent leader is pro- phesied. @StA
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: While prosperity continues and work is plentiful economists will study trends of trade and commerce. They will gather statistics and indulge in theories which should be valuable to statesmen who direct postwar reconstruction. Although it is con- ceded that poverty is disgrace to a nation that is blessed with all needed resources, methods of avert ing future indulgence will differ.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: When the ] foundations for education are re- paired for the new order, there will be attention paid to the sus- taining power of character train ing, it is prognosticated. Again re- ligious teaching will be accepted and the Bible will be among the textbooks This does not mean that creeds or dogma will be admitted, but that the principles of right living will be taught If the stars are rightly read we must be severe ly humbled by wars horrors before we come into the full meaning of universal brotherhood.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Berlin has an unfortunate chart Financial plans and changes in economic policies are indicated There are evil portents for the safety of Hitler or one of his aS- seciates. Peace propaganda will be persistent from Germany and will be spread in this country by secret agents. Since all the wars for cen- turies have had Germany as the evil genius, the United Nations will consider naught but complete de- feat, it is prophesied
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of finan- cial good fortune, but they should restrain impulses and avoid giving offense to persons in authority. 1 Children born on this day prob ably will be brilliant in mind and forceful in character Strict discip- line and wise training are necessary to develop fine talents.

Before a beautiful altar of can delabra and hemlock, Betty Jean Tipitsch and Jacob James Hen- dricke were married last Wednes- day evening by the Rev. Willis R. Booth, in the Chapel -the-Lake.

 A reception for the couple was held at the, home of MT. and Mrs. Alfred Butcher following the cere- mony, when a beautiful three tiered wedding cake, and sand wiches and coffee were served.

Monday, February

This is not an important day in planetary direction and should be used for adjustments and prepara- tions for an eventful month. Fair ly good war news may be received under this configuration.
 HEART AND HOME: As social and economic changes multiply, women should be careful to retain as far as possible the many gentle, charming ways tpat have made American homes delightful Great vigilance should be exerted, to avoid in the haste and strain of war work, careless speech and bad manners. The stars appear to presage extra ordinary ability on the part of girls who turn from carefree environ ment to serve the nation. The high standard of education will prove valuable in industry as girls take over tasks hitherto belonging ex- clusively to men.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Prosperi- ty will asume great significance to economists in the United States as they plan postwar programs. Novel ways of investing in peace will be devised as possible antidotes to- in flation. Wage earners this month will begin to recover from the stim- ulating effects of high pay and will listen to suggestions for wise, use of dollars not invested in Govern ment bonds. New impetus to war aid will be given by events which cause men and women to recognize perils that require absolute devo- tion to the task of winning the war.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Daring dip omacy. that appears to afford ad- santages to unworthy leaders of changing allegiances will continue to be criticized by the people of the United States. The chessboard of the Second World War will present

 Hoover, Conneiley and w. G. Bannister took turns peeping through gimlet hole. It was tir- ing work. The apartment teemed with bedbugs. The three G-men writhed' ina agony.
