u. 5. Infantry Battles
Japs at Close Range
South Of Munda Field
Capture of Bose Would
Pose Aerial Threot to
Northern SoIomons
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC
Aug. 5.-American infantrymen
fought at close grips today with
japanese on the south fringe of
the Munda Airtield opposite its
center after breaking through a
long, covered trench.
The battle for possession of the
New Georgia Island air strip. which
long since has ceased to serve jap
anese planes, but which in American
hands would pose an aerial threat
Solomons and on New Britain, was a
slow-moving and violent one.
Jap Hill Positions Attacked.
The nglefringed airdrome runs
roughly east and west. The infantry
men now near it's center came in
from the east along the coast. Across
the strip from them and about a mile
north of the airdrome, other Amer
leans strove to rout the japanese
from the western slope of Bibolo
Hill preparatory tc moving against
the field.
GA naval spokesman at head
quarters of Admiral William F..
Halsey, jr.'s command in the
South Pacific said capture of
Bibolo and Kokengolo Hills, two
enemy strong points guarding the
approach to Munda from the
northwest, was expected mo-
mentarily. He added that drive
past these positions would put
the American forces on the sea
coast behind japanese lines, thus
pinning the defenders within a
small area and cutting off all
routes of eScapeD
Along the coast on the western
emo of the field, many of the Jap
anese were frightened from their
foxholes into the nearby reef
studded waters by swarmS of fighter
escorted bombers which dropped As
tons of nigh explosives yesterday.
Navy CorSairs saw to it that no
aid for the tottering Munda gar
rison should be forthcoming from
the north. They attacked the en-
emy base on Shorthand Island below
Bougainville, destroying seven float
planes, three barges and a small
cargo ship.
13 Jap Planes Downed at Rendova.
The japanese Air Force. which
lost 345 planes trying to stem the
Solomons offensive during the first
month, starting June 30, sent 18
Zeros against American positions
on Rendova Island, below Munda.
Thirteen were shot down. The
Americans lost two. Rendova is the
island from which American artil-
lery has shelled Munda since the
opening day of the current opera
tions.
The ground battle for Munda. a
yard-by-yard struggle, has become
a bitter, bloody job for fame throw
ers, small-arms and hand-to-hand
fighters, Two days ago the Amer
ican infantrymen moving along the
east coast were some TOO yards from
the air strip. The following day
they were at the eastern edge of
the field. Now they have reached
a point opposite the center on the
south.
On New Guinea, where the Allied
objective is Salamaua, sharp fight
ing was reported in progress miles
south of that enemy air base. but

I Cab Drivers Lose
Licenses in District
Due 10 0vercharges

Suspension of the permits Of two
Washington taxi drivers was ordered
yesterday by the District Commis-
sioners-one for Is days and the
other for an indefinite period-in a
renewal of the campaign against
overcharging.
Chairman James H. Flanagan of
the Public Utilities Commission said
overcharge cases had declined to a
low level some time ago after a
number of drivers were suspended,
but that more recently there had
been revival of complaints. He
warned that overcharging or other
mistreatment of passengers would
bring prompt enforcement action.
The permit of Louis Topper was
suspended for Is days, on recon-
mendation by the Board of Revoca-
ton and Review. The complainant
was James F. Trimble, son of South
Trimble, clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives, who is assistant prop
erty custodian in the clerks Office.
Boarding cab at Union Station
to go to Thirteenth and F streets
NV, he asked the driver the es-
tablished rate of fare, Mr.. Trimble
said, but the driver answered only
by asking: do you think 80 cents
would be too much?"
Mr.. Trimble responded that he
Evening star., 1943-08-15

was not seeking to bargain with
the driver but merely wanted to
know the tariff. He was charged
80 cents, whereas two soldiers who
boarded the cab in the same trip
were charged 20 cents apiece, the
proper fare, the revocation board
found.
Indefinitely suspended was the
permit of John L. Shaffer on the
complaint of William A. Ritenour
of 2449 Thirty ninth street NV,
who said he and his wife were
charged 81 for trip to their home
from Georgia and Kansas avenues
NV. instead of 80 cents.

Pangborn Netrnen
Bow To Fairchild

Fairchild's tennis team soundly
trounced the men of Pangborn last
Sunday afternoon in an inter-com-
pany tournament played on the
courts at Pangborn Park. The final
score was Z to 2.
Les Gardner, the Pangborn
champion, rose to the occasion and
offered superb combination of lobs,
smashes and cutshots to take the
measure of the Fairchild champion,
young Bunny Letter. The first
set was definitely a see-saw affair
with first one and then the other
stepping into the lead but it must
have taken the heart out of Letter
for he allowed Gardner to breeze
through the second with nary a bit
of trouble. Gardner won, 81, 6-3.
In the second singles match, Burr
Beard of Pangborn came from be-
hind, after. losing the first set 81,
and completely reversed the pro-
cedure to take the second and third
60 and 60, from Snyder of Fair
child
Pangborn's strength dwindled and
died after those first two matches
and from there on out it was field
day for Fairchild, as they put the
pressure on the remaining members
of the Pangborn team.
The results, with the Pangborn
names first, are as follows:
Singles Gardner defeated Letter
81, 6-3; Beard defeated Snyder ST
60, 60; Dewey lost to Wulff 60
60; Fleagle was defeated by Moore

/. BEHIND
HOME PLATE
By DOUG STEWART

Well, Well! at last l know that
have at least one reader of my col
umn Last week, while York was
handing the Owls trimming in the
playoffs, a man stopped me and
said: What do you mean by writing
all that baloney about the Owls?
Look at them out there, playing like
a sandlot team"
Well brother, I've got to admit
that they looked pretty bad, but
you just can't get away from the
fact that they finished the regular
season just one game out of first
place and that all season long they
never were worse than third at any
time.
Wilmington put up quite scrap
against Lancaster, the series going
the full five games before Lancaster
put over the winning punch in the
fifth game, winning 1914, to earn the
right to meet York in the finals.
Over in the Majors, our early sea-
son prediction that there would be
tight races in both leagues failed to
materialize. st. Louis and the
Yankees are in and the only close
race is for second place in both
leagues.
The Cards clinched the National
League pennant last week with a
win over the Chicago Cubs and by
a strange coincidence they won the
pennant last year also with win
over the same club.
In the American League the
Yanks, as this is written, are nine
games ahead of the Washington
Senators and while the Mats still
have a mathematical chance of cop
ping the flag, its such a slim chance
that it isn't even worth considering
The races for second place how
ever, are close In the National
League only two games separate the
second place Dodgers and the fourth
place Pirates with the Reds in the
third slot, while in the junior cir
cult, the Senators have a three
game lead over the third place In
dians.
Football is barging into the pic
ture now, but so far, at least, ]
haven't been able to get steamed up
about it. 1 listened to the Purdue,
Great Lakes game Saturday, but
frankly l didn't get much kick out
of it, perhaps because the college
teams are all mixed up this year,
having so many Navy students on
the teams. For instance, the heroes
on the winning Purdue team were
not regular Purdue students at ALL
but two former Illinois University
stars-Agase and Butknoick now
Navy students at Purdue.
Oh well, maybe after the World
Series is over, I'll get warmed UP
to the 1913 War edition of college
football, and I'll stick my neck out
again by picking the Cards, with
Cooper pitching and winning the
first game

might be unable to occupy at the
conclusion of the war. This policy
has also made it possible for owners
of properties occupied by Fairchild
to continue to receive income for the
duration, which, in many cases,
might otherwise have been lacking.
Our return to peacetime activities
should not be difficult or costly but
rapid and efficient.
THUS we see," concluded Mr..
Boutelle, that Hagerstown has ire
mendous opportunities, but the de-
gree to which the community will
benefit from them will depend upon
the foresight, initiative and re-
sourcefulness of every one of its
citizens. There is a saying that OPP
portunity knocks but once. Let us
all be ready for that knock and face
that opportunity with open minds SO
that we may progress and keep pace
with the future. If we do this, the
prosperity, which should eventually
result, will come to Hagerstown as
quickly as anywhere else in this
great country of ours"
