land and Japan would have been a Walkover.
 JapS Save Navy
 Japan evidently saved the navy which is far from being crippled despite serious losses in destroyers and to some extent in cruisers for a closer defense of the home land.
 That defense may be put up to save the main naval base of Truk in the Crolines, the next American objective, although American objec- tive, although American naval men are uncertain that Japan will risk it.
 The Japanese have been made extremely nervous about their fleet by last weeks naval attack on Paramushiro, which demonstrated the ability of the American fleet to strike simultaneously at points of its own choosing.
 Whether the Americans intend to invade their islands from the north the Japanese do not know, but 1t is quite probable they are afraid to take the chance of finding out.
 That consideration might decide them against a stand at Truk, although the latter, with its out lying bastion of Ponape, should prove far harder nut to crack than the Marshalls. The Japanese may possibly have heavy shore bat teries on either or both islands, which would serve to keep our fleet at respectful distnace. At the same time. both bases are with in range of land1based heavy bomb- CTS both from Kwapalein and Ra- baul on New Britain, which is an immenent American objective.
 Whatever the Japanese decide, 1t is quite likely that Truk will prove the turning point in the Pacific phase of the war against Japan.

JUDGE NOE GETS POINT
OF PlSGeRY
SUIT

The questions of when pig is
not a pig, and, when garbage is
not garbage, was determined in
an opinion handed down Mon
day by Circuit Court Alton H,
Noe in a case entitled, Township
of Chesterfield, ct al, versus
Fred and Earl Clubine.
Et al in Latin means land
Others" and the land others
in this case numbered no less
than 16 people, all residing with
in the corporate limits of Ches-
terrified Township and all testi-
flying to the same effect.
All Of this by way of intro
duction TO an injunction issued
restraining Fred and Earl Club
inc from operating an alleged
piggery at its present location.
Plaintiffs declared that the eff.
fluvia emanating from deposits
of fresh table waste constituted
public health menace and i'm
paired full enjoyment of their
homes which were close by. But
the crux of the decision made by
Judge Noe was TO the effect that
the existence of a piggery also
contravened an ordinance of the
township involved.
Testimony did not disclose
whether or not the grunts of the
pigs figured into the decision or
whether their point value was
considered, but at any rate you
may get the point of the plain
tiffs: so did the Judge.
