county headquarters Until last week both groups were quart ered at 120 Sierra but since there was some difficulty in distinguish ing which was state AWVS and which was county AWVS under that arrangement it was decided to part company The new state headquarters are in a room adjoining the snack bar which will be opened by the AWVS in the near future and the state officers whose offices are there are as follows: State chairman Mrs Leon Mack state secretary treasurer Mrs Dryden Kuser regional directors Mrs lorence Bovett Mrs Helen Marye Thomas Miss Phyllis Walsh and Mrs Lee Wright of

details and men tioned none of the other opera ions Gain Many Miles The operation pushes the Allied lighter and bomber plane line which MacArthur has described as the margin of safety for the Allies in the southwest hundreds of miles closer to main Japanese bases on New Britain New Ireland and in the northern Solomons The fact that the Trobiand and Woodlark landings were unopposed was regarded by observers here as indication that the movement was not intended as a general offen sive but a tactical maneuver de signed to put the Allies in a favor able position to probably launch an offensive eventually It was noted that while Mac Arthur is supreme commander for this operation he and Adm Wil liam Halsey south Pacific com mander retain their own com mATids in their own areas Support Origin of the various forces en gaged was not disclosed but it was understood that certain units of command collaborated in the Trobriand and Woodlark oc cupation and the entire movement had the support of naval units It was the first significant ter ritorial gain by troops in the south west Pacific command since March when the occupation of the Mam bare river area 95 miles south of Salamaua was announced from headquarters here Mostly Aerial Since that time the warfare In the southwest Pacific largely has been an exchange of air blows al though Japanese and Allied ground forces have had sharp patrol clashes around Mubo about 10 miles inland and slightly north of the Nassau Bay landing area for the past several months The noon communique revealed that the new operations were ac companied by a sharp raid on two airdromes of the Rabaul network where nearly 23 tons of bombs were dropped and started fires one of which was visible for 100 miles LM I 11 PAY LESS DRUG STORE 38 WEST SECOND ST

on life for OWI the senate accepted its appropriations committee recommendation for $3561499 to cover home front operations Earlier the senate approvedeand sent to the White House the rec ord $71500000000 army bill It provides more than $23000000000 for 99740 new army aircraft and other air force outlays Aside from the war agencies bill these measures still are in con gressional hands: Now Stymied 1 The $875000000 agriculture department bill which is now sty mied over house senate differences regarding the federal crop insur ance program The house insists on liquidating the program and to day defeated a motion that it ac cede to a senate version provid ing $7000000 for the plan The $127889141 interior de partment appropriation lodged in conference 3 A $143000000 urgent defi ciency

Kenneth McKellar Tenn of the appropriations committee The information director asked for $7435007 saying that reduction of motion picture pamphlet and other publishing activities made such an amount necessary if the domestic operations were to be adequate Acting as a strong lever against long delay in clearing up the ap propriation bills however was the congressional desire to begin a two months
