But observers cautioned that the tide of ocean battle was still unturned and looked for sudden new Japanese a continuance of the southward thrust toward Australia. In the absence of an official final summary of the fight there was a tendency to believe that the Japanese had suffered far heavier losses than the American units.

Many saw an indication of this in the statement last night that of losses and damage to our forces are not fully known at present, but no credence should be given to claims that have been or may be put out by Nip Building Slow. If Uie Japanese had sunk even ship for ship, observers said, the engagement would still be an allied victory from the long term view. The reason is that the Japanese are believed to be unable to build fast enough to replace the major part of their losses. American building is thus far well ahead of what the axis has been able to sink. The navy latest official summary on the Coral sea fighting was issued last night, before a temporary end of the battle had been announced in Australia, and gave this accounting of Japanese losses since the action started Monday: aircraft carrier, one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser, two destroyers, four gunboats, two transports or cargo vessels.

aircraft carrier, one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser, one seaplane tender, two transports or cargo vessels. Two Carriers Gene. Thli brings carrier losses to at least two, cruisers to 19 and destroyers to 27 since the start of the rate of sinking too rapid for the shipyards of Nippon to replace. It is especially serious for the Japanese in the cruiser class. There the los.ses are about 35 per cent of the cruisers listed In most manuals as built or building by Japan at the start of the war.

The destroyer losses would be about 30 per cent. Yet despite these setbacks the Japanese have a formidable battle fleet. They have lost only one old battleship of the 10 built and 8 building they are believed to have had before Pearl Harbor, And they have the tremendous advantage over allies of operating near bases along the length of their war lane from Japan to New Guinea. In any foray toward America, howgver they would have to fight on even terms. Vice President Wallace's prediction in New York last night that the might attack Alaska or the northwest Paclfte coast sharpened speculation that the apparent Japanese determination to push southward may be a diversion.

The enrollment on the last day was only 874. Friday's registrations were expectations, and at no time during the afternoon and evening were any of the registra- I tion depots crowded. The total number of books is- sued Friday was 800.

This in-' creased the aggregate to 88.217. Of the registrations Friday, 839 were in Lincoln, where 770 books issued. The difference between the number of registrations and the number of books issued is accounted for through the fact that many of the registrants have sugar on hand. They will receive their ration books when the supply has diminished. More To Enroll Later.

C. Hellmers, chairman of the commodities rationing board, said Saturday that still are a considerable number who were not registered. They are people who, because of the hours they work could not go to the registration depots, arrangements will be made to enroll them later, probably at the rationing According to the chairman, blanks for rationing sugar for preserving have not reached Lincoln, and he does not know when they can be filed. the newspapers for he advised.

Harry Coffee that he would be commissioned a captain in the United States army air corps soon. Carpenter added that he had not received formal notification from the army.

Carpenter expects to leave for duty in about a month and plans to conduct hi.s business here remote from the air corps training station at Southern Pines, N. he said. Mrs. Maude Sutter of 501 South Thirteenth street, feels she has just about the best Day present a mother could expect. She has four sons, all of them in the armed forces.

The other day she came home and there sitting in the parlor was one of the Heark D. Coe, whom she had not seen in three years and not heard from in six months. Heark has been in the army for six years. Her other sons are James R. Coe, a chief petty officer in the navy; William a former Lincoln Star carrier who is now in the navy; and Stanley Coe who has been in the army for about a month.

Miller Eveing Congress Race First Dist. Dr. A. Miller, state health director, said Saturday, might try for congress in the new fourth district if Representative Coffee runs for the And, Doctor Miller added, he also is eyeing the first district closely. In Nebraska candidates need not be residents of the district in which they run, but none has ever been elected who The health director is a republican.

Harry B. Coffee, democrat, is the incumbent congressman in what has been the fifth district but which under the congressional reorganization becomes the new fourth with the addition of six counties. Coffee said a few days ago he is going after the United States senate scat now held by the veteran independent, George W. Norris. Then came statement Friday that pressure is being exerted upon him to run again and he may become an unwilling candidate for another Might Try Here Should Coffee decide upon trying for re-election to congress, Doctor Miller probably would turn to the first district in which two republican congressmen, Oren S.

Copeland, Lincoln, of the old first, and Carl Curtis, Minden, of the former fourth, are thrown together because of the re-districting. Doctor Miller, whose home is at Kimball, unsuccessfully sought the G. O. P. gubernatorial nomination two years ago and subsequently was appointed state health director.

If he makes the race for congress it is believed he could get a leave of absence from his health post for the campaign. A. T. (Bert) Howard, Scottsbluff, has already filed fop the republican nomination in the fourth. TOKYO (From Japanese Broadcasts.)

By GEORGE GALLUP (Director, American Institute of Public Opinion. I PRINCETON, N. May the 1942 congressional election were held at this time, the democrats would make sharp gains in the middle west, especially in the east central section comprising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. That is the indication from the of the 1942 elections, a poll consisting of interviews with many thousands of men and women among all age and income groups throughout every section. The results for the east central states indicate a net gain in the area for the 18 seats i the house of representatives if the election were today.

This would give the democrats control of a majority of seats from the area for the first time since 1938. Farther west, in the eight states of the west central section, the poll indicates a gain of seven seats for the democrats if the voting were held at this time. Results already published for New England and the middle Atlantic states likewise show a slight democratic gain. Totals for all remaining sections and for the country as a pared to the 1940 election. Narrow Margins.

The sharp democratic gain in the cast central section is explained mainly by the fact that no less than 20 scats won by republicans in 1940 were won by a narrow margin of only 54 per cent or less of the major party vote. This mean.s that only a very slight shift of sentiment is necessary to swing those seats into the democratic fold. All but two of those seats would be gained by the democrats it the election were today. Although it does not take a very large shift to aid the democrats in the east central area, it is interesting to note that the republicans have lost ground in an area which was more isolationist than any other in the period prior to Pearl Harbor. Institute polls on various war and foreign policy issues prior to December 7 found the Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan area least disposed to aid Britain or participate in the European war.
