 Front Getting
 Hotter For JapS
By Associated Press

Allied Headquarters in the South Pacific - In the China Pacific theater of war, the day brought ris- ing action, particularly around Burma. The India-based Tenth U. s. Air Force, which. with the British has been methodically hammering at the Japs for weeks in a long soft ening-up process that is apparently a preliminary to an expected Allied offensive to retake Burma and open the supply line to China, tore up a flight of 30 Jap planes attempting to raid Assam air fields and lost not plane in the action. Six Jap planes were shot down. 12 were probably destroyed and other dam aged
 Accompanying this was a dis closure that small raiding forces from Marshal Wayelfs Army had successfully attacked a village far behind the enemy's lines in Burma Myebon. 50 miles below the Bur mese port of Akyab which itself is a major objective and had remained in possession for five hours before withdrawing on accomplishing their mission
 The Chinese command announced that the most important of the cur rent Jap offensives, that in south western Yunnan Province along the old Burma Road had been thrown back west of the Sa1ween river.

MAC ARTHUR'S BOMBERS CARRY OUT RAIDS

General Mac Arthur's Friday com- munique reported that Allied bomb CTS. winging for the third straight time across New Britain for at tacks on shipping ay Rabaul, pos sibly damaged a seaplane tender and three cargo ships. The Three cargo vessels of limited size, were bombed and either directly hit or received near hits from low alti- tude and an S000-ton ship, resem- bling a seaplane tender, was badly damaged by four bombers. When last seen the larger vessel was heading for shore and settling by the stern. Other results were unob- servable in the glare of search lights.
 Jap shipping also took a pound- ing elsewhere. Off Bapo, Dutch New Guinea, a heavy bomber scored direct hit on the bow of a 5000- ton cargo vessel. Off Alexishafen, New Guinea, a small Jap cargo ship was attacked and two 500- pound bombs either hit the ship or came close enough to damage it. In the region where ground forces are menacing the Jap bases of Lac and Salamaua, New Guinea, attack planes continued the preparatory work of strafing and bombing

CANNERY WORKERS ELECT
 OFFICERS FOR COMING YEAR

The following members were el- ected officers at the recent election of the Wrangell Cannery Workers Auxiliary Union; President Nellie Deyenney: Vice. President. Louise Joseph. Agent, Sec. Treas, c. Don Miller: Sergeant at Arms, Joe Hernandez; Executive Committee, C.. Campus. Mary Lanting. Sadie Cam pus. Alice Joseph, Mary Requina and Mrs. Alfred Grant. Installation of officers will be at the next meet ing Friday evening, March 5th
 Agent Miller states that wires and letters have been sent to the Man Power Commission, as well as to the cannery operators, in regards to the operation of the canneries in Wrangell, but up to the present time. no definite information has been received.
 Whereas We have cannery labor available at this tune, to man at least two canneries, there is no cer- tainty that this fact shall exist in the next thirty days, said Miller. Continuing, If rumors had not been circulated concerning the cur tailment, there would have been no shortage of labor in this com munity. However, as things are at present time, there is the possibility of workers who are here now, will become restless and seek to obtain employment in other towns, thereby causing a shortage of experienced workers here. That is the main reason that we are desirious of Ob- taining definite information, at the earliest possible time".

 We read with a great deal of in teTest about the Home Guard. More power to the boys and with it goes our moral support.
