THE GOVERNMENT of the United States
I is asking TO lend it l3 billion dollars
in the next few weeks. We can do it. And
must do it. Every American must real
ize the truth:
In this, toughest war, we've made good
start. We've trained lot of men-made LOT of
weapons-built lot of ships.
But it's only start. No man or woman
among would contend for a single instant
that we're doing enough win this war;!
We've, Cot to Build More!
We broke all records building million tons of
shipping last year. But grimfaced Army and
Navy men will tell you that the l8 MILLION tons
we're building this year still won't be enough!
We've Got to Fight More!
From till this war is won, America must be
on the offensive. In everncreasing numbers,
your sons, brothers, husbands must go into actual
battle. Our losses have already begun to mount
and they will not grow less.

Montgomery County
Board Extends Dog
Quarantine Area

The Montgomery County COM
yesterday extended the
county dog quarantine to the gen.
eral Silver Spring Colesville Glen
mont area and instructed police to
cooperate with the State Board of
Agriculture in its enforcement.
The commissioners also took I'm
der advisement a request from the
Montgomery County Farm Bureau
to name county dog catcher and
establish county dog pound. 1t
also requested that the county pro-
vide a vehicle for the dog catcher.
The commissioners were told that
stray dogs have become a nuisance
in some sections, and instances of
property damage by animals was
pointed out.
Rabid Dog Found.
The quarantine, imposed at the
suggestion of Dr. v. l.. Ellicott,
county health officer; DR.. A. L.
Brueckner, acting director of the
State Livestock Sanitary Service,
and DR.. w. B. Coughlin, Livestock
Sanitary Service veterinarian, in
cludes that section of the county
bounded by the Prince Georges
County and District lines and the
road leading from Georgia avenue
to Glenmont, Colesville and Fair
land.
Health officials said rabid dog
had bitten one person, a cat and
several dogs Sunday in the lillian
dale section, and that a quarantine
was necessary to prevent spread OF
the disease.
The commissioners ordered that
each clerical employe of the We'll
fare Board receiving less than $1,15O
a year be paid a bonus of 5000
They also ordered a 5000 bonus to

Maryland Parole Law
Faces Test Of Legality
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 20. - The
Maryland Court of Appeals will be
asked to consider the constitutional
ity of the Maryland law governing
recommitment to prison of parole
violators, Attorney General William
c. Walsh has disclosed.
The law was declared unconstitu-
tional by Chief Judge Ogle Marbury
of the seventh judicial circuit be-
cause it did not provide for a hear
ing by the Parole Board before a
parolee was returned to prison.
Judge Marbury's ruling was handed
down as the result of habeas corpus
proceeding held before him recently
in Prince Georges County Circuit
Court. The petitioner had been
convicted in Baltimore County and
later paroled. He then went to
Midwestern State where he allegedly
violated his parole and was then re-
committed to prison. Judge Mar
bury held that the man was returned
to prison without a hearing by the
Parole Board and that this action
was violation of the 14th amend
ment to the Constitution.
Mr.. Walsh said yesterday that
Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan of the
Court Of Appeals said the case would
be argued during the October term.

They must have made two more
passes at us diving at our tail be-
cause I could hear the turret gun
ner opening up on them twice. But
they failed to get US. We evidently
had gone too far beyond our fighter
protection in chasing after the de-
stroyer in Vitiaz Strait.
We came back over the battle area
at 1000 feet and I could see hun
dreds of Japs in the water clinging
to RATS and lumber. The truth is
I was keeping watch for the Zeros
when we passed the debris. I didn't
have much of chance to look at
the Japs in the water.
We were unable to get back across
the mountains and landed at Dob
udura that night, our new strip
near Buna. Fortunately, it rained
so the Nips were unable to catch us
on the ground. We heard a Jap
recon plane overhead, but he couldn't
get in.
Some of the boys had to sleep
without mosquito netting that night
and I think that accounted for a
few of the cases of malaria that
struck our men about a week later
We did get back all right the next
morning.
