SISTERS DELIVER
RECRUITING TALK

For most soldiers, a furlough is
a time for relaxation and fun, but
Corporals Rose and Alice Swan
da, sister members Of the Wom-
ems Army Corps, spent their fur
Ioughs giving recruiting talks
They recruited the third daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Swan
da, of Schuyler, Neb., merely by
giving an enthusiastic portrayal OF
their own Army duties.
The third sister, under the new
WAC recruiting plan, plans to re.
quest assignment with Corporals
Rose and Alice Swanda at Kelly
Field, Texas.
WAC recruits now may select
their branch of service, station as
signment and Army job, within
certain limitations. They may
serve with the Army Air Forces,
the Army Ground Forces or the
Army Service Forces. If qualified
for a particular type OF job, they
may request such duty. And if
not so qualified, they will be
trained for one of the 239 kinds
of Army jobs filled by WACs.
Women enlisting in the Army al
so may request that their initial
WAC assignment be at a station
in the section of the country in
which they enlist.

go, northwest OF Rabaul by forces
Of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's COM
mand tended to disclose the STRAIT
egg by which the United Nations
plan to reduce or neutralize Ra-
baul and Kavieng, New Ireland,
important Japanese bases.
A month ago Rear Adm. Robert
B. Carney, chief of staff to Adm.
William F. Halsey, South Pacific
commander, said Babaul and
Kavieng "are next on our list"
The method of taking them, he
added, won't be in accordance
with any familiar pattern"
Seizure of the Admiralty islands,
however, began to clarity that
pattern. For from the Admiralties
Allied planes can strike at Ra-
baul and Kavieng from yet an.
other direction. The Admiralty is
lands in Allied hands definitely
tighten the blockade on Rabaul,
about $50 miles to the southeast,
and on KavNeng, about $50 miles
eastward.
That sea and air blockade will
isolate probably a hundred thou
sand Japanese troops at those two
bases, which represent Japan's
last major holds on the South Pa
cific. Admiral Carney himself
made that estimate last Jan. 18.
Already the invasion and occu-
patton of the Green islands, at the
northern tip Of the Solomons ar
chipelago, has cut off the Japa-
nese on Bougainville and other is.
lands in the northern Solomons.
That move also posed thanking
threat, on the east, to New Ire
land and Rabaul.
Since Admiral Carney's state
ment Kavieng and Rabaul have
been pounded in a sustained air
offensive rivaling anything seen in
the Southwest Pacific. American
warships have joined in the often
sive, thrice bolnbarding Kavieng
and twice shell1ng Rabaul. The
last seven air assaults on Rabaul
failed to stir up any enemy air
The Admiralties, too, have been
hammered without mercy by Al
lied warplanes The Momote and
Lorengau airdromes there, de-
Tense installations, shipping and
dock facilities became familiar
targets for Allied airnen. Many
Japanese ships were sunk or dam
aged in the harbors or in the ship
ping lanes nearby.
Conquest of the Admiralties al
so poses a threat to Truk, Ja-
pans Wanted naval and supply
base about 700 miles to the north
east. Truk would be within bomb
ing range then from two direc-
tions-from the Admiralties to the
southwest and from the newly won
bases in the western-most atolls
of the Marshall islands, to the
northeast.
Allied planes based in the Ad-
miralties soon will be intensifying

supply Rabua land Kaviertg. Mo-
mote airfield was captured in good
condition and was expected to be
put to use quickly. From Momote
Allied planes can choke off COM
pletely the few Japanese ships
that have succeeded in running
the air-sea blockade to Rabaul and
Kavieng.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-There's
still time to get in on War Food
administrations school lunch pro-
gram. Nearly 100000 daily school
lunches are being planned for the
coming season in Agriculture De-
partment's Office of Distribution.
Lee Marshall, director, says there's
still room for more new schools,
or for expansion of established
lunch plans.
If you want to get in on the $5O,-
100000 appropriation handed out by
Congress fer school children's food,
you can gather up a sponsoring
group or club, sign an agreement
with War Food Administration
through its nearest office, and get
going on plans for cooking and
serving, WAS funds are available
for servings ranging from 2 cents
for a half pint of milk to 9 cents for
full lunch.
This years food buying program
will be done by local sponsors as 1t
was last year, in order to save stor-
age and shipping facilities used
under the former plan OF CEN
tralized buying.

Liquid Fuels;
Ready 10 Produce

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 6. CUP)-
Engineers have ready basic proc
esses for producing liquid fuels from
tar sands, coal and oil shares if ma
ture does not provide enough oil. A.
L. Lyman, director of the California
Res arch cooperation. told the
Chamber of Commerce.
The oil inductry has scientific
and engineering staffs to perfect
and apply these processes when the
time comes" he said.
But at present best authorities
estimate cur crude oil supply to be
in excess of 20,000,0O0 900 barrels
that's a pretty good working in
ventorY."
Maximum depth of wells has
been doubled since the last war"
Lyman rerorted. And many of the
new oil fields were found in these
deep zones"
Using all new available processes,
engineers estimate an 85 per cent
yield of gasoline from crude oil can
be reached" Lyman said. Old-time
methods averaged only about 20 per
cent for the country"
This will mean large quantities
of super fuels better than any pre-
war gasoline. fer any new power
unit which may require them"
"Allylation and polymyrization
are p rfected processes for building
up large molecules from smaller
ones, making highest grade SYM
thetic gasoline from gas" Lyman
elaborated

FARM LAND INITIATION
SEEN AS DANGER

From various quarters are emanatlng
warnings over an apparent land boom' or
rather a mushrooming Of prices as an
unusual large number of people are turn
inc to such purchases. Among the OBJ
servers who see a dangerous imitation
trend is the secretary Of agriculture.
Observers point to the same condition
which followed World War one when buy
ing turned largely to speculation and TO
over-buving by land owners of that pc
riod. In the end the balloon burst and
there was some bad days and many
bankrupt buyer.
1t is pointed out that the price for good
farm land in the major farming areas
stand at about 40 per cent above the
average during the period of l935-39 and
that any squirt at this time would have
serious tendencies and more serious re-
suits later on.
Businessmen are among the buyers as
a hedge against initiation and then there
are many city workers who are deSlrouS
of establishing urban homes on man
arteries near and leading to the larger
cities Rising farm land market natural
" is a temptation to the farmer himself
who has had good crops and has bit OF
money to invest Planned to be effective
during the rest of the war emergency is
a measure introduced in congress by SEN
ator Gillette of the farming state of Iowa
which would place capital gains tax on
profits made from farm land resales.
Scant concern can be felt for the dyed
in-the-wool spectators who may dip into
this venture. They understand the gam
bic possible and are prepared for an evil
turn to such investments. But to the am
bilious tiller of the soil, it would mean a
setback which might strip him of his cur
rent inestment, but take away his original
holdings as we'll, if the bottom should
drop out of things"
1t is toward this last named class the
warnings may be we'll timed.
