 Over Shoe Rationing
Business Proceeding Normally Reports Chamber of
 Commerce Secretary; Point Plan Suggested

In spite of the new Shoe ration ing program, Secretary Frank J. Green, of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, said today that hus- mess is continuing normally.
 People who are wise will not rush to their nearest stores to buy shoes, but should realize that their No. 1T coupon must holc out until June l6," said Mrs. Charlotte Root, chairman of the local ration boards food panel. Retailers who have or- ders placed with their rnanufactur- CTS will receive their full quota, Mrs, Root said, that nothing has been issued concerning Q cut in inventor les.
 Suggests Change
 Maxwell Field, executive secre- tary of the New England Shoe and Leather Association, suggested to- day that the government adopt the point rationing system for shoes in- stead of continuing with It's orig inal announcement of three pairs of shoes to each person Q year. He ex- plained that the point system would require more points or coupons for the higheSt-priced and longest wearing shoes, and fewer points for the lower grade shoes. This would assure consumers in the lower in- come brackets of the same propor- donate wear of shoes as those In the top brackets.
 Shoe dealers of Waterbury re. ported that most people purchased the better quality shoes. Tn some cases, people returned their recent purchases for better quality mer- chandise.
 Merchants also wish to warn the customers that if the present fast flowing purchases continue, the sale of white summer shoes will be af- fected because customers will be forced to wait until June IS for the second coupon to become valid.

CANAL CAMP PAICN
 ENDS IN U. s. WIN
Uncle Sam Scores First Major Land Victory of
 Pacific War
BY sANDoR KLEIN

Washington, Feb. 10.--(UP)--ThC campaign of Guadalcanal was ovel | today, and the United States had won It's first major land victory oi the Pacific war.
 1 Onicial advices received here re- ported that two advancing American columns = one striking through jungles and over mountainous ter rain, the other moving along the coast--had trapped the last band oi Japanese effectiveS on 0uadalcanal in a tight pincers near T1ti in the Cape Esperance area.
 All that remained now was to naor up the remnants of the Japanese Guadalcanal army which once numbered 10000 men and was now only a small band of ragged, hungry and ill-equipped men.
 Although there was no ofncial confirmation here, 1t appeared likely that Cape Esperance, the major landing point for the Japanese and believed to have been the enemy'a headquarters base, had fallen into American hands.
 This belief was supported by the fact that the two American columns had effected c juncture at Tit which is i've miles west of Cape Esperance. The column which had pushed along the coast apparently would have had to 90 through Es- perance in order to reach the col- umn ct Titi.
 According to the secretary Of the navy, Frank Knox, "all resistance on Guadalcanal apparently has ceased" except by the scattered bands of Japanese trapped by an American pincers in Q VA-shaped pocket in the northwest corner of the island.
 The Japanese had held the island less than Q year. In January, 1942 they drove the natives and Q few British offlc.als from the principal villages of the Guadalcanal- -Tulagi area and began building an airfleld that the Americans took over and named Henderson field.
 Only six months ago last week end American Marines stormed the beaches of Guadalcanal. Within two days they wreSted the field from the enemy and clung tenaciously for weeks to a tiny beachhead against strong opposition.
 But virtual elimination of the enemy from Guadalcanal barely dents the outer ramparts of Japau'l southwest Pacific defense perimeter Knox said the conquest has brought the United States within strikins distance of some of the more i'm. portant Japanese bases.
 There are still several well -estab- lished enemy bases in the SolomonS northwest of Guadalcanal, from which the enemy must be driven They include Munda and Kolom. bangara in the New Georgia Island group; Rekata on Santa Isabel Island; Shorthand Island: Buin and Kieta on Bougainville Island and Buka Island.
 The chances are that strategy has already been mapped for conquest of the rest of the Solomons. And ii is likely that Munda, the nearest enemy post to. Guadalcanal - lSS nautical miles distant-will be among the first on the list.
 In their exaltation over the Guad- alcanal victory, observers warned Americans should remember that the six months consumed in gain ing complete domination of the island also served the Japanese in good stead. It gave them that more time to develop the resources of the rich areas they had conquered in the early months of the war =. the Dutch East Indies. Malaya and the Philippines.

|DUMONT PROPOSES
DIAMOND 0DDlTY
Suggests That Batter Be
Able To Run To LIST
Or 3rd

WICHITA, Kas., Dec. 18.-lA-
Raymond Hap) Dumont, president
of the National Baseball Congress,
proposed today that batters be
allowed to take off for either third
or first base after hitting safely.
Here's his exclamation of the pro-
posal:
"A batter would have the choice
of running to third or first but
would have to continue his advance
ment around the bases in the same
direction he left the plate.
eff the batter hits the ball to-
ward first, he can take out for
third. If the batter, with a rum
ner on first, figures his ground ball
will result in double play, he can
go to third. Thus the runner on
first would not he forced to adj
vance.
with the possibility that runners
fro mthird and first might attempt
a steal to second from opposite dl-
rections, there would be double ac-
ton for the fans, with the two run
ners, coming from opposite direc-
lions sliding into the same base
on the same play.
"Tnfielders would have to be on
their toes all the time. In the case
of a sacrifice, they would have to
outfigure the batter, who could
race either to first OF third"
Dumont is going to try the idea
at the 10th annual national semi
pro tournament next August.

u. S. NEEDS MORE
WOMEN WORKERS
Sharpens Up Slogans To
Lure 100000 More
Into War Jobs

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. R-
The armed services and civilian
agencies sharpened up some new
slogans today to lure about 2,OOO,-
00O more women into war work.
Earlier appeals have fallen far
short of the women recruiting
goals and the new: campaign -
still in the shaping-up stage-is
tankering with such slogans as "the
more women in war work. the
sooner the war will be over"
DO something-anything' in the
war effort, is another one under
consideration. But official launch
ing OF a campaign hangs on joint
authorization of plans currently
being worked out by a special
board comprised of representatives
OF the armed services, the war
manpoWer commission and the Of
flee of war information.
Official sources, reporting these
developments today, said recruit
ing for the women's army corps
has been unsatisfactory. Moreover
VINO estimated that the addition
al 100000 women are needed for
war industries and essential civil
ian trades and services.
The army, backing development
of the combined general campaign,
appealed to the joint Army-Navy
board which brought the organi-
cation together to work out the
new recruiting program.
Plans considered at the first
meeting Of the groups call for
designation of one agency to at
tract volunteers. The separate mill
tary or civilian units then would
try to ''selr' their particular form
of war service to each applicant.
