Further Lay-Offs Seen By City's 13 New Car Dealers At least 50 automobile salesmen in Greenville have lost their job as a result of the OPM order Irom Washington halting sales of new automobiles and small trucks.

A survey yesterday showed that the city's dealers in new automobiles are attempting to increasa their service forces with the view to "keeping open" with funds received from auto repairs. It was shown, however, that mechanics are "hard to get since war work and increased war production has called into action practically every good technician available. That more persons now employed by the automobile firms will lose their jobs was indicated by the dealers contacted.

Three Nominated As Anderson Trustees School Board Election This Month To Fill Vacancies YEARLY BANQU ME KILLED Chinese Now Trying To Annihilate Pockets Of Trapped Nippons THIRD DEFEAT THERE CHUNGKING. Thursday, Jan. 8. (U.Pj Chinese forces have inflicted 5.000 more casualties on the Japanese around Changsha, bringing to 65,000 the number of enemy killed or wounded in a week of fighting which has seen the Japanese expedition against the north Hunan capital turned into a major Chinese victory, a communique announced today. AFTER FOUR DIVISION'S The communique said the Chinese are attempting to complete encirclement of the remnants of four Japanese divisions which undertook the third offensive of the war against Changsha.

Twice previously the Japanese were beaten back from the city, but never with such heavy losses. Already, according to war dispatches, evacuees are streaming back into Changsha. Remnants of the Japanese army now are trapped in "annihilation pockets" between the Laotao and Luyang rivers, and others are in flight toward the Milo river. 40 miles north of Changsha, it was reported. An official statement said that in some sectors "the annihilation of the enemy is practically certain." The victory was hailed here as China's first major contribution to the unified Allied defense program.

RAILROAD MAIN GOAL (The London radio said Japanese army headquarters at Hankow admitted the retreat from Chungsha and gave the Japanese losses as 37,000 men.) (The British radio, in another broadcast recorded by CBS quoted Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, Chinese ambassador to London, as saying that the Japanese attacked Changsha in an effort to get control of the Canton-Hankow railway "so they could send reinforcements to Malaya through the port of tacking Woodrow Wilson's peace efforts.

About 21 years ago he was rejected by army recruiters because he was too young, so he faked his age and enlisted at another station. After serving a hitch in the army, he to marry, but his age was still a problem-he was too young to be granted a marriage license without his parents' consent, so he "raised" his age again and got the license. And now he wants to register in the "under 4 years" group for military service but his recorded age that on the "faked records is far above 44. while his real age is considerably below 44.

Mr. Weathers says that man has a problem. Japs Report U. S.

Jan. 7. JP Mrs. Lu-cile M. Wallace of Chester, president of the Alumnae association of Winthrop college, said tonight the association's executive committee "did circularize the student body after learning that orders had been issued that they were to take no part in political affairs nor to organize In any way to promote legislation." Mrs.

W. L. Daniel of Greenwood, a Winthrop trustee whose term expires this year, told a joint meeting of the senate finance and house ways and means committees in Columbia yesterday that "letters to the students of Winthrop were placed in their mail boxes Just before they left" for Christmas holidays. Mrs. Daniel said that the substance of the letters was: "We want you to help defeat Mrs.

Daniel" for reelection. The alumnae association at a meeting in Columbia December 13 endorsed Mrs. Horace Tilghman for the trusteeship. Mrs. Wallace said that the letter to the students was "copied in almost every paper in the state and many of them out of the state.

The committee defies any per son or persons to show the name of any trustee written in said letter and therefore does not deserve that dirty dig 'that was a low piece of The Winthrop matter bobbed up when legislators questioned President Shelton Phelps of the college, who was discussing his appropriation request, about the failure of the school to rehire two Instructors, Dr. Elizabeth Harris, an English in-, structor, and Helen C.

Dan iel accused the AAUP of disseminating "false propaganda around the state." and added that "a verv small group allied with an outside organization has tried to discount some of the members of the board coming up for reelection." SELFISH INTERESTS CHARGED Mrs. Wallace said that "surely it is time a 'small group' (of 12,490 graduates) work to free public agencies from selfish agencies and interests. There is no individual indispensable to any position, "The Winthrop alumnae regret very much that it has been necessary to have any unfavorable publicity against their beloved alma mater, but it seems that some are determined to bring personal charges and selfish interests before the public to Winthrop's detriment, Training Union To Meet Friday Night Associational Rally To Be Held At Liberty Baptist Church LIBERTY, Jan. 7.

Form of Criticism: One of Broadway's long-time romances was that one between a famously known and wealthy legit producer and a star of light comedy. Then, one night, as most romances fade, she fell in love with a young editor, many years her junior, and eloped with him. The producer took it bravely. The star and her groom got so much front page attention they were engaged to co-star in a musical.

Her erstwhile producer friend was among the first-nighters. "Well?" a critic asked him between acts, "What do you really think of her?" "She a fine actress" said the jilted one, "growing old and dancing carefully." When our army, navy and marines hit Japan the Mikado will be the name of a pencil instead of a ruler. A chorus girl backstage at the Jessel show, "High Kickers," was complaining to Betty Bruce of the troup that her boy friend gave her a ring with a flaw in it. "So what?" said Betty, "You don't go out with jewelers!" On his broadcast the other midnight, movie critics' H. Barnes discussed the film awards and seemed particularly pleased that the pictures he had voted for rated prizes.

In mentioning the winner he strongly recommended it and ended with this double-talk: "If you haven't seen it, don't fail to miss it!" Major James Roosevelt was in Hollywood the other day, the luncheon guest of the Freres Warner in their executive dining room, if you please. During the chit-chaterbox-ing, Harry Warner said: "How are your mother and father bearing up under all this?" "I think" replied James, "that my mother is a little more tired." Paul Small, just returned from Movieville. says that half the people in Hollywood don't eat because they're in pictures and the other half because they're not. Phil Baker, relates a Sun interviewer, once lectured to some collegians on "The Ad lib and Its Importance in Everyday Life." One of the upstarts sprung a Joe Miller on him and asked for a sample ad lib topper. Baker, stumped, gagged his way out by saying: "The best way I could reply to that line would be to ad lib ten seconds of silence." The Morning Mail: "Dear Walter." writes Helen Hiett of N.

If the Japs are sub-human, filthy little yellow weaklings, where will be our glorv in defeating them? Are we less than they that they have given us such a walloping to begin with? "It's high time to be realistic and admit frankly that our enemies are strong, brave, well-orepared, otherwise there would be no merit in our victory once it comes, and no more popular aopreciation of the necessity for dealing adeouately with them than there was in the case of defeated Germany at the end or tne last war.

VATKO-nOL Here's How Billions Are To Be Spent WASHINGTON.

Jan. 7. Here are listed in round figures the billions this country proposes to spend during the fiscal year beginning next July the biggest budget in the history of the world: Fifty-six billions lor war, includ ing two or three billions from non- budgetary government agencies such as tne nru. Four and one-fourth billions for normal government costs, relief, farm aid, etc. One and three-fourths billions for interest on the public debt.

And here is the method of pay ment: Sixteen and one-half billions from existing tax laws. Seven billions in new general taxes. Two billions In new social se curity taxes. Thirty-five Diinons irom ireas- ury borrowing, plus additional bor rowing by government non-Duog-etary agencies. All of which means that: finnrtiru will 1nmn from the nresent two to five billions a month.

The world war spending peak-in onrl nno.Vialf hillirms will be passed this year and almost tripled during the next fiscal year. The public debt, after borrowing, will be 110 billions. And finally: ah thpss items comnrise what Americans already are calling a victory puaget. 3 American Pilots Tackle 108 Planes Of Jap Formation (Continued From Page One) ron did not show up when and where they were expected, so the three American pilots did not wait. They went to work on the raiders.

"It looked like a fleet of rowboats attacking the Spanish Armada," said one witness who was watching from the ground. Slashing into the huge Japanese formations, the three Americans held on until other American and RAF fighters could join the battle. Quite a number of the Japanese bombers did get through and dumped their loads on Rangoon, but when the show was over at least 31 planes were downed and perhaps more came down in the sea. American fliers were credited with downing 13 bombers and 10 fighters and the RAF got at least eight planes. Allied casualties were described as "astonishingly low." A few days earlier up in Kunming another group of American volunteer pilots tackled 10 Japanese bound for Kunming, brought down four "certains" and two more "prob-ibles." The only American loss was a forced landing made by a pilot who chased the bombers too far and ran out of gasoline on the way home.

He bent his propeller and smashed his landing gear when he landed in a Chinese paddy field. MIRACLE RECORD WRITTEN The A. V. G. of the Chinese air force is writing an amazing chapter in aerial warfare on a shoestring.

The exact numbers and figures cannot be divulged, but expert observers say the work of these boys has been a miracle. They probably can't keep it up forever, since by sheer weight of numbers the Japanese should be able to overwhelm them eventually. The A. V. G.

boys need planes, they need personnel to look after their planes and repair them and they need spare parts. The American pilots came out to defend the Burma road against Japanese attacks and were trained for that purpose. Now they have had to take on -a large share of the aerial defense of Burma. Their commander. Col.

Clare L. Chennault, has whipped the A. V. G. into a top fighting unit in only a few months.

"This isn't target practice," he tells them. "Don't get the idea the Japs are no good. You are a bunch of inexperienced beginners with no actual combat flying going up against a lot of veteran, clever, skillful pilots in good planes. Their planes may be even better than yours, so don't get cocky." Atlanta Prisoners Eager To Battle ATLANTA, Jan. 7.

(P) Prisoners at the Atlanta federal penitentiary harked back to "Gone With the Wind" times today with author Margaret Mitchell to say why they are eager to serve in uniform. The diminutive writer thanked the men for their contribution of $1,225.50 to the Red Cross war drive the money having been raised in part by devoting the New Year's holiday to work in the prison's -defense-busy shops. Miss Mitchell told them that in the 1860's prisoners at the old state prison in Milledgeville were freed to fight for the Confederacy and went through some of the war's hardest fighting without a single desertion. Then Morris Rudensky. editor of the prison publication, told Miss Mitchell that again the nation's prisoners "are eager, to a man, to serve in the armed force."
