Bombers Sink
jap Ships In
SoIomons
BY BRYDON C. TAVES
United Press Staff Correspondent

Allied Headquarters, Southwest
Pacific, July 81. - CUP - U. S.
bombers sank three and probably
four warships yesterday to smash
the largest scale japanese attempt
yet to reinforce their base at Villa
in the central Solomons, a COM
munique announced today.
One light cruiser and two and
probably three destroyers were
blasted to the bottom and another
destroyer and transport were dam
aged The surviving vessels OF the
11-ship convoy fled northward out
of the range of American bombers.
1t was the first time since the
start of the Allied offensive that the
japanese have used transports in
their attempts to build up Villa, on
the southeastern coast of Kolom-
bangara Island, to replace Munda
as their main base in the central
Solomons. The garrison there
already numbers at least 5000 men.
Munda Virtually Surrounded
Munda, on New Georgia Island
southeast of Villa, virtually has been
surrounded, General Douglas Mac
Arthur's communique said, and its
capture is believed only matter OF
time.
Tightening investment at Munda
now has rendered supply and rein
forcement to the enemy dangerous
and difficult the communique said.
"Slow but constant, deterioration
of his beleaguered garrison can be
expected unless our blackading ring
can be broken"
Night-prowling American Cata-
lima boats spotted the vila-bound
convoy early yesterday trying to
sneak down the west coast of Ko-
lcmbangara under cover of darkness.
SPRAYED out on the inky sea be-
low were three light cruisers, six
destroyers and two transports.
An alarm was sent back to head
quarters and forces of four engined
Liberators, Mitchell Medium Bomb
ers responded. AS they approached,

Battle OF Italy Will
Cost Nazis Many Men
BY HARRISON SALISBURY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

London, July 81. - CUP) - The
battle of Italy now opening UP is
going to cost Germany the equiva
lent of 40 to so divisions even if the
Wehrmacht fails to come to the
support of the wavering Axis part
ner.
This figure is based on careful
estimate of italian divisions which
previously had been employed out
side Italy as part of Hitler'S con-
tinental defense system. Before the
start of the Sicilian campaign esti-
mates indicated the Italians had
about 80 to 100 divisions.
Until recently only about half
of these troops were based in Italy,
Sicily and Sardinia. The remainder
comprised the defense forces in
southern France, Jugoslavia, Greece,
Albania, Crete, the Greek Islands
and the Dodecarese.
Must Replace Troops
Italy has been repatriating these
forces as rapidly as possible during
the past six weeks. Frontier re-
ports state that the Germans have
taken over much of the Italian du-
ties in Greece. This means that Ger
many is now faced with the task
of replacing something like 40 Or
SO divisions in areas outside Italy.
This factor indicates that there
may be considerable basis for APP
parent Russian suspicion that the
Germans actually have been re-
moving some units from the eastern
front. Russian reports now assert
that the Germans have possibly 240
divisions an the western front rather
than 218, the latest Allied estimate.
Loss of Italian occupation and
defense troops comes at a moment
when the Germans can least afford
to spare additional troops. With
the Allies threatening to move into
the Balkans at any time, Axis troop
dispositions should be increasing.
This would be most difficult if the
Germans must replace the estimated
20 italian divisions previously serv-

A SALOONKEEPER'S FEARS
Detroit Medical News)

Detroit Medical News)
A prosperous saloon keeper came into
our office recently heavy hearted. He
freely admitted he was witnessing too
vividly the results of his business and
swore he would get out of it. He said he
had been born into the business, never
knew any other business but feared for
America because Of the business. Thought
he could stSs1d it for a while longer if he
did not have to throw SO many drunken
women out Throwing drunken men out
seemed to bother him less. He wondered
what would happen to the children of the
future if so many women, even grand
mothers, were going to take to drink"
Drunkenness is disease :. s.. caused by
influence, environment and alcohol.
Some of the influence is not intended to
be harmful, it is born rather of type of
friendliness. There is a deeper cause
however back of this, born of acquisitive-
ness and developed through suggestion,
propaganda, and advertising. 1t appeals
from the billboard, the advertising page,
and the society column "Cocktaip' this
and "Cocktail' that. How the money
changers in the directors rooms of the
liquor business must marvel at the power
of suggestion. To be hypnotized the sub
ject naively freely places himself, her
does what he suggests. How naively,
freely, this is being done in America at
the suggestion of the liquor interests.
Whatever America does, it does in big
way. We surmise many grow anxious
about their own influence on their chill
dren.
Perhaps the saloonkeeper in question
is right, that there is danger to America
in what is going on. If SO, (what abOut)

POLITICAL "WOOF-WOOFING" ?
{ Milwaukee JournaD

milwaukee Journal)
One suspects that Mrs Luce's one aim
in her immoderate remarks about Brit
ain, Pontius PLATE, the President, and
India is to embarrass Mr.. Roosevelt
no matter what destructive effect her
wisecracks have on national or Allied
unity. Surely no one can defend Glare
Luce's remarks about India on the basis
of constructive criticism. She has moth
ing constructive to offer. She merely
makes the easy charge that British i'm
perialism is strangling India's struggle
for freedom.
Completely disregarding the complex
ity of the problem and the facts, Mrs.
Luce implies that all one has to do to
solve the Indian problem, is to turn the
teeming sub-continent loose. For her
there apparently are no Hindus hating
Moslems or untouchables and princes !;
or centuries of prejudice and poverty.
1t is all so easy to stand in New York
before the India League of America and
liken political opponent to Pontius Pi-
late because the political opposition does
MT rush into one of the most complicated
political problems of the century-on
the other side of the world-and force
Britain to "sove" it. Without meaning
to be so, Mrs. Luce is extremely flatter-
ing to the President in thinking he could
do it.
Or is the lady from Connecticut merely
indulging in little political woofwoof-
ing?

INVENTORY JITTERS

War manufacturers are reported to be
coming down with bad attack of inven
tory filters. This is symptom rather
than a disease.
In World War industry expanded and
expanded (much as the public prior to
late 1929 invested and invested) on the
apparent theory that an abnormal situa-
ton was going to last forever. Most of
them were caught flat when the war end
ed. Some never did recover. Remember
ing this, present-day arrangements would
like to break near enough even, when the
Axis capitulates, to remain solvent
Thus, automatically the inflated in
ventories which many firms are reported
to have squirreled away are going to be
reduced. What must be guarded against
is an excess of caution which would leave
critical plants short enough to slow down

REALIZATION OF
A 40-YEAR DREAM

On September 16 the people of lmpe-
rial Valley will be able to bring about
the realization of pioneers dream.
Ever since the first electric light bulb
was lighted here there has been strong
desire in the hearts of valley leaders for
public ownership of power. Now, 40
years later, that desire may be fulfilled
The California-Electr Power COM
pany has agreed to sell its holdings in
this area to the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict The directors of the district have
overwhelmingly approved the proposed
transaction, and now the only step left
to be taken is for the districts taXpay-
ers to vote the necessary funds to pay for
the purchase.
That may be done at the polls on that
mid-September day.
Ever since the All-American canal took
shape in the minds of men there has also
been the thought that some day the peo-
pie would be able to own their own cleo
tricity, be able to charge what they want
ed for it and to stop paying few indi-
viduals for the kilowatts.
The desire for public ownership of
power was so strong that valley citizens
could not wait for power to be generated
at drops in the completed canal. They
authorized the construction of diesel
generating plant in Brawley and the
first power to course through district
plants came from there. Progressive
steps brought power from Parker Dam
on the Colorado and finally from the
huge generators on the canal itself.
Final elimination of the plan may be
accomplished for a price which would
have been impossible a few years ago
s6,000,0O0. Of that only about S4,900,-
900 will go to the California Electric
company The remaining S1,lO00OO will
be used to bind the facilities of the two
organizations together and to improve
the district system.
To bring this 40-year dream to logical
and successful realization, the people of
the district need only approve the issue
of the power bonds. It's an investment
which will pay off many times over.

NEW PAMPHLET GIVES
HOUSECLEANING HELPS

A new 10rpagel mimeogfaphed
circular called Housecleaning
Suggestions. Materials and Meth
DDS" by Miss Louise r. Whitcomb.
home management specialist for
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, has just been made
available to homemakers. A copy
may be obtained free on request
from county extension Offices at
Newark, Dover, or Georgetown.
In commenting on this circular,
Miss Whitcomb said she felt that
this year there would be more
necessity than ever for good man
agement, since housecleaning must
be done along with victory garden
work, preparation of meals, and
various other jobs which wartime
conditions have made harder for
the homemaker. But cleaning must
not be neglected, since equipment
and furniture cannot be replaced
as long as manufacturers are pro-
ducing necessary war equipment,
and they must be made to last as
long as possible.
You may not have time to do all
the cleaning you would like to do.
List all cleaning jobs, then cross
of all which are not essential to
the health and comfort of the fam
lily or the preservation or efficien-
cy OF the equipment. Plan with
your family who will do the work
and when. a
Frequent brushing of walls,
woodwork, curtains, draperies, and
upholstered furniture postpones
use of soap and water and takes
less effort than washing.
When it is time for thorough
cleaning, though, Miss Whitcomb's
new circular will help you to pro-
coed without waste of materials or
time. 1t includes tested recipes for
homemade cleaners and directions
for their use,
