JAP THREAT TO CHINA IS
 INTENSIFIED
Nippons Appear to Be on Verge of Meeting

CHUNGKING, Nov. 13 = The United States airbase at Luchow was destroyed after being eyacuat- ed, Major Gen. Wedemeyer's head quarters announced today.
 The Fourteenth Airforce struck at all fronts during the weekend, destroying Japanese navy tender. B river steamers, IA locomotives and three rail bridges in French Indo-C China.
 An American communique said three radar stations were also dis abled at Yochow. The Japanese in Kwangsi Province, however, ap- peared to be on the verge of meet ing from the north and east to provide a continuous land route from Canton to Manchuria.

JUNEAU GOES OVER TOP IN
 FUND DRIVE

A luncheon was held in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel at noon Saturday in honor of the successful closing of the aNtional War Fund drive. Members of the Territorial Committee and cam paign workers of Juneau and Douglas were present to hear the final reports, which proved the drive to have been huge success.
 Jack Fletcher, Chairman of the Campaign Committee, announced the total as $12,506.06, more than $2,0O0 above the quota with more yet to come in. Much of this con- sisted of small donations of from 25 cents to $1, with $450 being donated by Juneau Filipinos for the relief of their countrymen.
 Douglas succeeded in reaching Sl26.6l more than it's quota of $2O0, Val Poor, Chairman for that city, announced. The money was taken to headquarters by the donors with no canvassing being done.
 Reports on the drive were also presented by Frank Hermann, Ma jor c. F. Scheibner, H. L. Faulk- ner, Frank H eintzle ms n, Zach Gordon, A. B. Cain, Mrs. Fred Geeslin, Lydia Fohn-H Hansen, Fair banks Chairman; Betty Mccormick, Territorial Chairman, and others who contributed to the success of the campaign. Waino Hendrickson, Department Commander of the American Legion, also made short talk on behalf of his organization.
 Since the United Service Or ganizations are directly affected by contributions to the War Fund, it was suggested that some of Ju- neau's surplus be donated to the local USO, to aid in the continu- ance of the splendid work it is doing.
 It was announced that almost all Alaska cities have gone over the top in this campaign and have gained new ideas and information with which to make a future drive even more successful.
 The Juneau quota was S10,500.
