the advent of the New Deal, March

President indicated he would veto

Tor Presidential victory on the home
front. Prior To that, the Presi-
dent had obtained almost unani-
nous congressional approval on all
matters involving international re-
lations. The reciprocal trade and
lend-lease programs were continued

Showdown Battle
For Munda Nears

Continued from Page II
American naval forces in the battle
of Kula gulf, a delayed front dis
patch said.
Pushing four miles through the
jungleS along the south coast OF
New Georgia from their new beach,
head at banana, American soldiers
and marines engaged and dispersed
Japanese patrol yesterday at Elelo,
only two miles east of Munda,
communique from Gen. Douglas
Macarthur. supreme commander Of
the south and southwest Pacific
offensiveS, reported.
Authorities warned however.
against assuming that the early
success of the New Georgia opera
tions necessarily presaged quick
conquest of Munda itself, since the
main defenses of the air base have
not been engaged.
CUT SUPPLIES OFF
American troops who landed at
Rice Anchorage, on the northeast
ern coast of New Georgia, may have
cut the japanese supply line from
Bairoko harbor, four miles to the
southwest, to Munda, dispatches
limited. No further fighting has
been reported from that area and
the troops were said to be consoli-
dating their positions rapidly.
Quiet also prevailed around Amer
lean bridgeheads in Southeastern
New Georgia.
In a purely diversionary raid, 20
japanese troops crept ashore on
Dugiri. small island off the north
east coast of Rendova, five miles
south of New Georgia, but easily
were repulsed by American patrols.
The landing attempt was describ-
ed as part of a general movement
of small parties of japanese in
barges during the past several days.
The operations were on too small
a scale. however. to herald any Sc
rious attempt to re-occupy Rem
| dova.
Aside from the Japanese naval
force virtually wiped out by the de-
struction of nine to IL cruisers and
destroyers in the battle of Kula
Gulf early Tuesday, the Japanese
have made no major attempt to
contest the American invasion OF
the Central Solomons.

"That was the kind of men we had at Bataan.

"Let me give you example. One terrible day
on Bataan we had 2S5 patients operating

minutes of the day.

Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
Grounding day ushered in some
mighty fine balmy weather for US
here in the Twin Cities, didn't it ?
This kind Of weather has even
started a number of girls discuss
ing Easter outfits, etc, style shows
and Easter dances. They're a little
premature me-thinks don't you?)
Most of the local lassies, though,
are bemoaning the fact that there
won't be much fun dolling up in
spring outfits and Easter finery
with so many of the boys spread
round in the far corners of the
world.
