for a beer and wine license was
denied.
A letter was read from resi-
dent near the corner of South

helpless on the high seas.
The control OF the sea

was irretrievably lost.
When Japan'S Imperial
Navy made its bold attempt
to crush Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's Oct. 20 landing at
Leyte and trap Adm. Thorn
as c. Kinkaid's U. S. Sew

ed a vital role. They fired
the first shots in the second
Philippines sea battle.
Enemy Under Observation
As the enemy's southern fleet,
based on Singapore, bore north
for Surigao and San Bernardino
straits in midi October it was un-
der close observation.
BY Oct. %, Kinkaid had re-
ceived word from his underseas
scouts on the speed and course of
the enemy and had time to dis
pose his force of supposedly weak
pre-Pearl Harbor battleships,
cruisers. destroyers, jeep-carriers
and PIT boats.
Their reporting duty fulfilled,
two American submarines execut-
ed one of the boldest torpedo at
tacks on record, sank two Japa-
nese cruisers and crippled a third.

The results of that engagement
are history now. The Third and

and four carriers.
Probably sunk were another

Full Text of Secretary Morgenthau's
 Statement to the Press on June '. 1945

In discussing the Seventh War Loan today, Secretary Morgenthau announced that war expenditures during the month of May reached an all-time high of $8, 188, 100000, including expenditures of Government corporations for war activ- ities. Moreover, the Secretary said there would be no reduction in the Treasury's cash requirements for the next few months, even though we have shifted from two-front war to one-front war. Expenditures during the next four months are estimated to exceed revenue by $17,00O, ,00O,00O The Secretary said this is about the same amount by which expenditures exceeded revenue in the four months ended May 31, period when the war in Europe reached it's eli max.
 'The Secretary said that the Treas ury's estimate allows for all cut-backs in the war program which will have any effect on expenditures during the next four months.
The Nome nugget., 1945-06-13
THE NOME NUGGET

Secretary Morgenthau called atten- tion to the fact that the goal of the Sev- enth War Loan, which is $14, ,000, 900, 900, is the minimum which must be raised to meet the Treasury's needs. The Japanese people, said the Secretary, are being asked by their leaders to make desper- ate effort to avert defeat We are more fortunate in that we are being asked for means to achieve victory.
 'The Secretary said that cut-backs in the war program made possible by the defeat of Germany will eventually re- suit in reduced expenditures, but the full effect will not be reflected in expendi- lures for several months. He pointed out that substantial payments will be neces- sary to wind up old contracts. The Secre- tary also said that unforeseen develop ments on the war fronts might require emergency shifts in the war program. If these occur, expenditures might be en- larged above present estimates, but he emphasized that the administration is determined to keep military expendi- lures as low as possible consistent with achieving victory quickly and with a minimum of human cost"
