We know that a big air battle is raging off the heavily fortified island of Formosa, which we attacked in force last week and were continuing to assault with Superfortresses today. a hasn't been confirmed is the Japanese assertion that the imperial fleet, which we long have been trying to draw into action, "has finally made its appearance off Formosa." Second New Battles The Japanese also report a new air and sea battle east of the Philippines, and have been making loud and almost hysterical claims for the two engagements. They say they've sunk some 52 American warships, including 10 airplane carriers and two battleships. To this Admiral Nimitz has made no direct rejly, but latest reports of the American killing in the Formosa area were that we had destroyed 487 planes and sunk or damaged 63 ships. This big island is one of the strongest naval and air bases in the world--probably the powerfully fortified of all Japanese territory outside the home country.

It can, and frequently does, provide shelter for a great naval fleet. No wonder the Japs are excited. New Moves Seen When these attacks first got under way it was generally taken for granted that they presaged an early invasion of the Philippines. It's likely that this still holds true, but the Allied program might be influenced by the outcome of the present fighting, if it is indeed true that at long last we have come to grips with the Japanese home fleet. In any event, these operations would toe essential for MacArthur's recapture of the Philippines.

They also are necessary for (1) an invasion of the southeast coast of China and (2) for the day -when judgment will be carried right Into Japan proper. Celebrate Golden Wedding Lewistown, Oct. and Mrs. W. E.

Sfocfc of Wool Causes Worry For Montana Men Sheepmen throughout the west --particularly in the state of Montana--are gravely concerned for the future because of the huge stock pile of wool which the government now has in storage, a spokesman for the Republican state central committee reported today. Woolgrowers in a meeting with Governor Dewey at Bilings revealed that the government now has in storage 1,300,000,000 pounds of wool in warehouses--a supply sufficient to accommodate American needs for four peace years, or two war years, including 400,000,000 annual American production, he said. 600,000,000 pounds of wool are owned by the British government and held in America, he said, adding: The sheepmen's predicament is being aggravated by the sale of this British wool to American manufacturers. Woolgrowers a been unable to learn just what the bureaucrats intend to do with the greater part of this British-owned wool, but believe it not impossible that Great Britain will turn over this wool in payment for lend-lease goods. This would depress the prices for American wool for many years to come, and require the government to guarantee minimum prices-to Montana Woolgrowers in order to save them from ruin--which amounts to taxing the American consumer, in order to purchase British wool.

It is generally believed, he said, that Britain will not favor shipment of this surplus wool to England, as she will want to purchase Australian, New Zealand and Canadian wool to bolster postwar economy in those commonwealths. No definite solution of the problem has as yet been forthcoming from a sources. Gov. Ford Describes Montana Fight To Protect Waters State Administration Has Battled to Prevent Usurpation Gov. Sam C.

Ford today described the fight his administration has made to protect Montana's water resources as a demonstration of what a united Montana can do. "The battle that last year prevented the flooding of much of the upper Flathcad valley and the usurping the water of that lake for outside purposes will always be important in Montana history," he said in a statewide radio broadcast," not alone because of the success of that fight but because that fight demonstrated what a united Montana can do. "A united Montana was victorious then, but today and tomorrow and always we must have a united Montana if we are to save our waters for our own needs. As governor, I have gone to Washington, Omaha, Portland and elsewhere to urge proper consideration for Montana's interests. "Still pending and still vitally critical so far as Montana's future is concerned is the Missouri river basin development program.

This administration has insisted that Montana must be given prior right to her waters for irrigation and other needs, including hydroelectric power. I believe we will win this fight. We must win it." Sgf. R. F.

Leaves Again For Baffle Duty Staff Sgt. Robert E. Hunter, veteran airman of the Lybian, Tunisian, Sicilian and Italian campaigns as a turret gunner on a B-25, has returned to the European battle fronts after three months' duty in this country. Sergeant Hunter, son of Dr. and Mrs.

W. L. Hunter of Kenwood, spent 17 months overseas his first hitch in the battle zones. He was wounded on his 26th mission, spent three months in army hospitals, and went back to duty to complete 57 missions before coming home.
