Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
headquarters today reported a
smashing assault on the big
japanese base at Rabaul, New
Britain, in which allied filters
plastered the airdrome with
1872 bombs, while other United
Nations airmen attacked an
enemy outpost in the Kai Islands
between Australia and New
Guinea.
The attack on Rabaul, Just
before DUSK yesterday, touched
off many fires and explosions
and further crippled Japan's
aerial striking power in the
southwest Pacific.
Meanwhile, a Tokyo broadcast
quoted Premier Hideki TOTO as
warning Japan that "the war
situation is becoming more Sc
rious" "a confession under

ment in New York last night
that Japan has lost 1857, 900

where the conduct of this strug-

The Tokyo radio said Premier
TOTO would be given extraordi-

Women I'm War
WNorhl 'S'ldis Year

Pointing out ttat women
workers are unsuitable for only
Sc out of 1900 war occupations,
Paul V. McNutt, chairman, war
manpower commission, declared
this week that approximately
100000 women will be en-
ployed in war production and es-
sential industry jobs by the end
of 1943.
Opening an exhibition of
women in War Work" at the
Franklin institute in Philadel-
phia, Pa, Mr., McNutt urged
housewives, school girls, college
graduates and all women whose
families can spare them to pre-
pare to enter industry.
The exhibition, sponsored by
the Franklin institute in coop
Grafton with The Ladies' Home
Journal, includes n number of
pictures of Negro women in war
work. 1t also calls attention to
the fact that Negro women are
now employed in war plants as
electricians, welders, sheet metal
workers, assemblers, machine
tool operators, lathe hands, drill
press operators, power machine
operators, aircraft production
workers, explosive operators,
rubber workers and in other
skilled and semi-skilled capaci-
ties in aircraft factories, ordin-
ance plants, shipyards and gar
ment factories.
Many Of these Negro women
are employed in the Philadelphia
area, of which Mr. McNutt said:
"As of February |, $50 war
activities employed $4,000
women. There will be. need
for about 100000 more women
in essential jobs in this area by
December 7, 1943.

like n house, our bodies undergo

ioy them to the fullest.
Milk is one of the best foods
