(UP)-Money counterfeiters

a disbursement rate of 100000

Army and navy allotments, social

thieves often trail the postman and
snatch checks from rooming house
Railways, apartment building lobbies

In some cases, it was disclosed,

LONDON, Jan. 5. (UP)-
American heavy bombers at

second straight day, as we'll as air
fields at Bordeaux, Tours, and other
targets in western Germany.
Strong allied bomber formations,
stepping up the pre-invasion soften
ing of axis Europe, smashed anew
at the French second front coast
Wednesday in the wake of a Brit
ish nuisance raid on Berlin and a
record American blow at Kiel and
Munster.
DAYLIGHT RAIDS
The daylight raiders, with an
escort of Raj fighters, swept out
across the English channel only a
few hours after other British bomb
ers attacked northern France and
tWin-engined Mosquitoes hit Berlin
and western Germany last night.
The Mosquito attack on Berlin
probably was designed to keep Ger
man defenses on edge and to assess,
if possible, any additional destruc-
ton wrought in the two heavy
raids Saturday and Sunday nights.
1t was probable fires still were
burning in the German capital. All
planes returned safely from the
night operations, which included
mine-laying.

Chinese Armies
Wait to Join
Japan Invasion

Chinese field armies num-
bering several million men
are ready to join in con-
certed allied land offensive against
Japan in 1914, Chungking spokes-
man revealed Wednesday, as Ameri-
can airmen battered enemy posi-
tions from Thailand to the south
west Pacific and veteran marine
forces smashed a determined Japa-
nese counterattack against their
invasion beachhead in northwest
ern New Britain.
Chinese Information Minister II.
c. Liang declared flatly that Chi
mas huge armies, even with their
present inadequate equipment, are
capable of launching counterof-
fensive that will drive the japanese
invaders into the sea, provided al
lied air power is strengthened in
China and Britain and the United
States take the offensive simultan-
eouslT.
An allied attack by land or sea
against Burma, Hong Kong, Can
ton, or even the Philippines, Liang
said, would be followed swiftly or
accompanied by general Chinese
assault on the japanese armies in
China.
American and Australian ground
troops in the southwest Pacific
frightened their hold on northeast
ern New Guinea and the western
tip of New Britain, and allied
bombing fleets hurled tons of high
explosives on Japan's battered
strongholds throughout the area.
General Douglas Macarthur re-
vealed that Japanese jungle troops
had been beaten back with the loss
of more than 200 men in their first
real counterattack against the mar
inc beachhead in the Cape Glouces-
ter area of New Britain.
The enemy losses raised to 1900
the number of japanese troops
killed by the marine veterans on
! Cape Gloucester.
American fliers blasted five jap
anese airfields on New Britain and
the SolomonS, shooting down II
and probably IA enemy planes, and
smashed Japanese attempt to
reinforce their hard-pressed garri-
sons on New Guinea by sinking
four loaded barges off the Huon
peninsula.

Officers Search
For Pi|fered
Radium Solution

HILL FIELD, Utah, Jan. 5. (UP)
Military and civilian law enforce
ment officials worked Wednesday
to recover 13 stolen walls of a So
luton containing radium, not be-
cause of the monetary loss, but be-
cause of the lethal effects of any,
one coming in direct contact with
radium rays.
Fifteen walls of the solution were
stolen from the Ogden air service
command here Tuesday. Later two
of the walls were found hidden in
the false ceiling of the radium room
of the instrument repair section
at the field.
Army officials said that speedy
recovery of the vials may save sew
eral lives. They pointed out that
the 13 vials are valued at only 1928
but added that the radium cannot
be destroyed and that its rays may
prove fatal to the person who stole
the walls and to any others who
might innocently come within its
active field.
They warned that the rays are
especially deadly when released
from the vials. When not in use,
the radium is kept in lead vault
to prevent escape of its rays.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.
(UP)-Republican congress
men, sharply condemning the

policies.
Representative Thomas A. Jenk-

lican congressional food study COM
mittee, said the group would ask
congress when it reconyenes to take
steps to force the war food admins

Charging that tremendous vast
