Estimate Over 20,000
Japanese Killed In
Indo-Burma Campaign
Southeast Asia Headquar-
ters,” Kandy, Ceylon, May 11.
(UP)—An estimated 21,000
to 23,000 Japanese have been
killed in the three months old
Indo-Burma campaign, official
sources said today, and fron$
dispatches indicated that thou- t
sands of other enemy troops
face death or surrender in a
swiftly-closing Allied trap in
the Ma-<Gaung Valley area of
Northern Burma.
The enemy casualty esti-
mate was based on the actual
- number of dead counted by
Allied troops and did not take
into account a probably large
number of Japanese killed by
bombing and aerial strafing.
Allied casualties ever the
same period were described as
{considerably less than the Ja-
" panese, and in at least one en-
gagement the enemy’s losses
were said to have been great-
er than 10 to one.

Fewer Social Security
Cards Issued; Claims
Increased •
I A total of 1,252 original so-
cial security cards were issued
by the Lufkin field'office of the
Social Security Board during
the first quarter of 1944, little
more than one-half the 2,351
original cards issued in the
same period of 1948, accord-
ing to L. R. James, manager
of that office.
There was also s decrease
in the number of duplicate so-
cial security cards issued in
the first three months of this
year as compared to the first
three months of last year,
James said. 'Through March
31, 1944," he continued, “we
issued 472 duplicates to re-
place cards which were mis-
placed or lost as compared to
491 issued in the first quarter
of 1943. While we are pleas-
ed to note that fewer people
have lost their cards thus far
this year as compared with the
first three months of last year,
it would assist us materially
and reduce costs if more peo-
I pie would guard against the
i loss of their cards. At the

present rate of over 450 dupli-
cates per quarter we will is-
sue this year over 1800 more
cards than would be necessary
if each worker would keep his
card in a safe place and know
where to put his hands on it at
any time." -
The number of claims appli-
cations for old-age and survi-
vors insurance adjudicated by
the Lufkin office during the
first quarter of this year total-
ed 79, a 54 per cent increase
over the pi cases completed in
the first three months of last
year. James pointed out that
a single application often re-
sults in the payment of .month-
ly benefits to several membera
of the family group such as a
widow and several children.
The Lufkin office serves
twelve counties in East Texas,
including Shelby County.

VOTING ISN'T
OF INTEREST
TO FIGHTERS
With U.S. Forces in the
Solomons, May 10. (UP)—A
United Press poli of a Cross
section of 500 servicemen—
both enlisted men and officers
in all service branches—show-
ed today that less than one in
10 of them planned to votie by
means 'of absentee ballots in
the November elections.
Most of the 45 men who
said they were attempting to
vote, were officers. A majority
of those questioned said they
were uncertain of the voting
requirements of their states.
Many cf the men who said
they would net vote beeause
casting a ballot involved “too
much red tape.’’ Others said it
would be ’foolish” to vote
when they knew nothing about
candidates except on national
tickets. Most of the men have
been away from home more
than two years.
Pressure cooking and casse-
role cooking are the most suc-
cessful ways to prepare dehy-
drated foods, according to Dr.
Gene Spencer, University of
Texas research home econom-
ics.
