U. S. Navy Secretary Frank
Knox, in England for a Today

that the main battle against ia

that lit may seem significant

told a press conference.
Knox said he could not inn
agine a happier day than this in

the number of cases was sub
stantially higher than the sew
en-year average of 40 cases for
the same period.
He described Ingham county
and Detroit as the states two
hot spots and said the situa-
ton in Flint was almost as seri-
Gus. There have been eight new
cases so far this month in both
Ingham county and Detroit and
six new ones in Flint, with an
other recorded in Genesee coun-
ty.
However, he said, reports of
cases have been received from
every corner of the state.
Since most cases are among
children seven to 10 years of
afe, DR.. Meyer urged parents TO
keep children out of crowds and
to avoid over-exercise. He said

made" on the freight yards, it
was announced.

Four of the night bombers
were reported missing.
In hitting at the Modane area,
the British bombers probably

Lac Totters
Under Attack
Fall Of Jop
Bases Imminent
BY OLEN CLEMENTS

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS
IN THE SOUTHWEST PACI-
FIG, Sept. II - (P) - Reports
from the fighting front indicate
Lac is tottering and It's fall is
imminent.
While Allied airmen marked
up another amazing aerial VIC
tory over the japanese with
48 and probably SO enemy
fighters destroyed out of an at
lacking force of so to 70 -
strong Allied ground forces were
reported converging on the New
Guinea base for the kill.
SMASH AHEAD
Australian forces moving in
from the east have taken i@ela-
hang Wharfage, just outside the
airdrome and the town itself. A
western force has occupied Ed
wards Plantation, not far from
the town, and troops are coming
up fast from captured Salamaua.
The Japanese at Lac have
been bombed heavily since AL
lied troops landed above and be-
low that base Sept. 4 and S.
What little there is left Of the
small anchorage town on Huon
Gulf likely has been smashed
by artillery fire.
The desperate enemy at Lac
probably has taken the worst
beating of any Nipponese force
in this war. There is no indica-
ton as to the number of Japa-
nese in the area, but filters who
have bombed and strafed it the
last few days say anti-aircraft
fire has been noticeably weak
AERIAL VICTORY
The brilliant aerial victory
came during a raid by Liber-
ators with a fighter escort on the
japanese base at Wewak, New
Guinea. Against the overwhelm-
ing toll of japanese planes de-
stroyed, every Liberator return
ed and only one fighter was
lost.
Bombers shot down more en-
envy planes than did their es-
corting fighters in this latest
blow at heavily battered We
wax. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
communique today said they
downed 80. probably 40. The
fighters accounted for nine def
mite and one probable.
But the bombers wreaked still
more damage. In Is minutes
they concentrated Sc tons Of
bombs on the Wewak and Bor-
am airdromes. Direct hits de-
stroyed 10 grounded bombers
and started many fires among
numerous other parked aircraft.
