Allied Headquarters in Aus-
tralis, April 23 (Friday)(UP).
—Allied medium bombers and
attack planes have heavily
damaged Japanese-held vil-
lages in the Nassau Bay area
of New Guinea, it was an-
nounced Friday.
The islands of Dualia and
Lababia and villages along
the sooth shore of the area,
which is southeast of Sala-
maua, were bombed and
strafed, headquarters’ noon

Keeping incessant vigil
against possible renewal of
Japanese action against the
approaches to Australia,
planes from the MacArthur
command ranged over New
Ireland, the Aroe Islands,
Tanimb&r Islands and New
Guinea, fighting the enemy
wherever he appeared.
The Japanese supply area
at Do bo, in the Aroe Islands,
was bombed; the village of
Wailoetoe. twenty-four miles
northwest of Sanmlaki, in the
Tanimbar Islands, was bomb-
ed and strafed, and a heavy
bomber, on reconnaissance
over Kavieng, Jap base on
New Ireland, fought off four
Japanese fighter planes in a
running engagement last 150
miles.

We do not knowhow many
Bond Battles it will require to
take Nazism out of the world,
or how many campaigns it will
require to remove the war
lords from Japan, so our Gov-
ernment is not telling us now
that tha Second War Loan
drive will be the last this year.
In fact. Secretary of tbs
Treasury Morgen thou in open-
inf the drive pointed out that
later drives are in store and
that tha horns front will ha
asked for more and more aid

War Bond Buying
Makes Fine Progress
Cash registers in bond sell-
ing agencies throughout the
Houston Region, Eleventh
Federal Reserve District, rang
a merry tune of “Unhappy
birthday to you, Adolf,” this
week, as Adolf Hitler cele-
brated hia fifty-fourth birth-
day on Tuesday and the Sec-
ond War Loan moved into its
second highly successful week.
. gend-a-present-to-A d o l f;
campaigns were staged in
many cities and towns in the
region—the presents, of
Morgenthau, Jr. announced at
a press conference today that
as of last night tidal subscrip-
tions in the government’s war
bond drive totaled $11,322,-
000,000.
This leaves only $1,678,000,-
000 to reach the $13,000,000,-
000 goal.
Morgenthau said he be-
lieved a spurt in the sale of
bonds would result from the
disclosure that the Japanese
had executed some of the
American fliers who bombed
Tokyo.
•The people are angry about
it—just as I feel about it,” he
said, “and I think they want
to scrape the bottom of the
barrel to give all the money
they can possibly spare to end
that kind of atrocity as quick-
ly as possible.”
Morgenthau commented
that the Pacific coast is "at the
decs” in the form of war bonds
for block-buster bombs, to be
delivered direct by the Army
Air Force.
“Don’t miss this opportuni-
ty,” was the theme of the cam-
paigns; “it may be—we hope
—Adolfs last birthday!”
As the opening week of the
Second War Loan Drive ended
last Saturday, six of the 40
Houston Region counties had
already exceeded their quotas
for non-bank sales of war fi-
nance securities, Bfeglonal
Manager John Churchill an-
nounced.
The six “Commando” coun-
ties were Sabine, Galveston,
Angelina, Jasper, Hardin and
Chambers."
"From first-hand reporta we
have received from the 40
counties in this region we feel
that we have reason to believe
that each and every one of

The work and obligation of
the Chapter is the largest in

ters, Mr. Bailey has appointed

sisting of E. H. Hebert, Timp-

ha, Ben Holiday of Joaquin,

tive list of nominees for Chap-
ter Chairman, Vice-Chairman,

nation may be offered at the
