PACIFIC ADVANCE:

The dangerous islands OF the

Along a great arc Of 700 miles,
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's offensive
continues to rage, with American
troops menacing the Jap air base OF
Munda in the Solomons, and Allied
troops pressing against Salamaua In
New Guinea from three sides.
Trapped in the narrow Kula gulf,
eight japanese warships were re-
ported sunk, sent to the bottom by
a thunderous broadside from U. S.
naval vessels.
By making two landings on New
Georgia island, American troops
closed in on Munda from the north

MEAT:
Hog Marketing Heavy

Because of heavy pork production,
output OF meat has been running
fairly even with that of 1912. Rec
ord slaughtering of hogs has offset
the decline in the butchering of cat
tie, and, to considerably smaller
extent, Of sheep.
According to recent estimates Of
the War Meat board, hog slaughter
rose rs per cent over last year, and
pork production was up 40 per cent.
The severe decline in cattle
slaughter and resulting meat prod
ucts amounted to 40 per cent under
last year. Although calf butchering
slid % per cent, meat output was
down about 38 per cent.
Moderate decreases were noted
for sheep and lamb slaughter, al
though meat production showed a
sharper drop.

Gigantic battles are in prospect

Nelson said, the two countries have

RUSSIA:
BIitz Again

Seeking to wipe out the big Rus
sian bulge on the central front, $780,
900 German soldiers continued their
attacks at both ends Of the bulge,
with the objective Of encircling the
immense Russian army from the
rear.
At the southern extremity Of the
bulge near Belgorod, the Reds adj
mitted that the Nazis had scored
early gains. According to the Rus
slams, the Germans were backing up
their forces with masses Of tanks
and airplanes. In action was a new
tank, bigger than the 60 % ton
Mark VI.
From dispatches, the battle as
suned the old lines Of German blitz-
kreig. The Nazis concentrated their
strength at certain points and then
threw their whole weight against
them. AS their forces streamed
through, the Russians moved to
pinch off the tanks and infantry and
isolate them from the main armies.
Although claiming success, the
Germans said that the huge bulge
still extended approximately IS
miles to the west.

the 18th congress recessed for

FARM INCOME:
UD by 2 Billion

Bolstered by a So per cent In
crease from marketing, farm in
come for the first five months OF
1943 was up two billion dollars over
last year.
Total income amounted to Sc, 1885,
100000. Of this, $6,412, 100000 was
gotten from marketing, while $685.
100000 was obtained in government
payments.
The big increase from marketing
was attributed to the larger returns
from oil-bearing crops, tobacco,
poultry and eggs. Substantial gains
also were reported for all commod-
ity groups.
The nations heavy year-round de-
mand for food was reflected in fig
ures which showed that the increase
in income from April to May was
less than seasonal. Small increases
resulted from marketing of vegeta-
bles, fruits and nuts and dairy prod
ucts, among other crops.
