teaming up with Smelling war
ships in blasting away at Japa-
nese-held Marshall Islands now
gravely imperilled by American
conquest of Kwajalein.
Yesterday, Adm. Chester w.
Nimitz disclosed that on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday
planes of such wide category
dumped ia tons of explosives
on enemy bases in the mid-Pa-
cific group; Navy Coronado
bombers on Tuesday night and
early Wednesday pounded air
drome and barracks on Wake
Island; and warships during the
three-day period bombarded
two enemy-filled atolls."
Only Wake, which is in a DO
sition to support the supply-sev.
cred enemy bases in the Mar
shalls, was specified as a target.
The Coronados, which gave
wake its 18th raid of the war,
scored effective hits and all got
back safely.
American investment of Kwa-
jalein in the heart of the Mar
shalls has so disrupted Japans
contact with other bases there
that the Navy now keeps the en-
envy guessing by saying only
'enemy-held islands" or "ene
my bases" or Marshall atolls."

from final assembly at the

are hundreds of reasons why
Allied artillery fire in this war
has been the most devastating

Officially these tiny, innocu-

The Taylorcraft LIZ is not
new development. It's the mill

peacetime plane whose wasp

since has become q familiar

When the wer came, Allied
artillery officers felt the need
for improved methods of direct
ing shell fire If they were to
utilize fully the new found
power of modern ordnance.
The observation and barrage
balloons Of World War I not
only were cumbersome and easy
targets for enemy aircraft but
they also were expensive and
difficult to replace since they
had to be moved by truck to
the scene of battle.
Americas light-plane enthus-
lasts, by then some 100000
strong. pointed to the Taylor
craft and similar light plane
types as the answer and the
Army finally undertook series
Of exhaustive tests.
Light planes, the tests proved,
provided the answer the artil-
lery had been searching for.
Far less cumbersome and ex-
pensive than the observation

$500 to County Bill

Sal airy and classification
changes for several county

Budget Committee.
The rate and wage adjust

meeting as outlined in the
QUESTIONABLE accompanying
the invitation to attend and the
leading" type of questions
asked therein.
A letter call issued after the invita-
lions had been first sent out, extended
the time of the meeting to two days
instead of the one day specified in
the first call. The conference was
ended the first day, however, lending
credence to the assumption that it
was not working out according to the
plans of the association which, judg-
ing by the type of questions, had evil
IDENTIFY hoped for vociferous condem-
nation of all federal government types
of participation in services to meet
the needs of the people of the coun-
try. This did not develop to any
marked degree.
Two experts" were in attendance;
Francis B. Elwell of the "Tax Founda-
ton" a sort of parent of such organ
izations as the Montana Taxpayers
Association, organized by big business
to protect itself from tax levies and
by propagandizing for economy with
out consideration of human needs.
The other was H. Miller, head of the
research staff of the Citizens National
Committee, another organization Of
the same type as the Tax Foundation.
Miller made statements about pending
legislation in congress. Elwell, made
one of the opening statements of the
conference, but offered no further Gin
formation" after that.
Fred Bennion of the Montana Tax
payers Association conducted the con-
ference, and running true to form,
called on such certain ones for verbal
statements as he knew would give the
answers desired. Discussions follow
ing such statements, however, had the
effect of proving that there was not
much harmony of thought generally
on the subjects under discussion.
While there was apparent agree
ment ON the part of the majority of
those in attendance that federal ex-
penditures must be reduced, the hor-
ror of decreasing revenue and advan-
tages to them personally, if they were
reduced seemed to haunt
them.
