Baldwin, 47. former Waterloo employe of the Iowa state highway commission, will be offered the position of acting Black Hawk county engineer, the board of supervisors decided Monday at its regular meeting at the courthouse. Baldwin, who mailed a formal application to the board, will be offered $250 a month, which is $15 a month more than was paid Ray-mond Stevenson, now on leave of absence as a lieutenant in the United States navy, at the time Stevenson was called to active duty.

Board members did not know whether Baldwin would accept the terms. He has been serving as an engineer in the construction of an army base at Concordia. Job which will be finished within two weeks. On Dubuque Bridge. Prior to that time, and until February, 1943.

he had been employed on the new Mississippi river bridge construction between Dubuque, and East Dubuque, During his service with the state highway commission, he aided in the construction of Black Hawk county roads-County Auditor Bailey Barnes told the board he had asked County Attorney Paul L. Kildee whether it would be possible for George Willis, assistant county engineer, to sign the payrolls for April 30. Barnes said it was a question whether the signature of a registered engineer was required on the pavrolls, and asked Kildee whether, in any case, Stevenson, who is still engineer, might not properly delegate the authority to Willis. Baldwin's appointment would, of course, be only for the duration, or until Stevenson's return. Hopes to Repair Roof.

The board discussed the problem of repairing the courthouse' roof, and post-war possibilities for improving that building, but, without taking formal action, indicated an effort would be made to repair the slate shingle roof once again.

Embezzlement charces acainst week ended Saturday. The spokesman said the convoy, attacked briefly near Wewak by a reconnaissance plane Saturday, had pushed on toward the Pelau islands. The raid on the Wewak airdrome Sunday climaxed a week-end of attacks that cost the Japanese 15 planes and ranged thruout the enemy-held island arc above Australia. Over Wewak Saturday a lone Liberator had destroyed five of 12 enemy Zeros. Monday's communique made no reference to interception at Wewak Sunday.

However, the Flying Fortresses had to run thru a hail of ack-ack to reach their targets. Communiques covering week-end operations reported 19 separate forays, including a flight that wrecked the Japanese airplane assembly base at Kendari on Cellebes island. Striking another blow in the enemy's attempt to build up aerial strength for a possible drive on Australia, the formation that raided Kendari destroyed five two-engined planes on the ground, downed five of 20 Interceptors and demolished workshops and hangars with 21 tons of bombs. It was the heaviest raid on Kendari, regarded as major center of the Japanese aerial building attempt. Liberators carrying record bomb loads made the attack.

Besides Wewak, bombers attacked four other enemy-held New Guinea north coastal areas Sunday. They were Madang, Saidor, Finsch harbor and Mubo all regular targets.
