American Troops
Destroy Score
Of Nazi Tanks
SHAEF, England, July 12 —
'APt—American troops destroyed
20 more Nazi tanks and smashed
German counter-at’aeks today,
with an advance along the entire
front, slugging in4o Lessay, the
western anchor of the line, and
also into S*. Lo. the German’s
-central bastion in Normandy,
from two directions.
The Nazis counter-attacked to
cover the German retreat ‘o the
west.
On the eastern end of the line
the allies are throwing their
iest attacks toward Le Desert, six
miles northwest of St Lo. German
tanks pushed into the American
lines and 20 enemy tanks went up
in flames before the Nazis re
treated.
Gen. Montgomery warned his
men that the enemy armor still
was strong, and he was fighting
back vigorously, but was being
worn down and given no rest.
Attacks Curtail
Oil Production
SUPREME HEADQUARTERS
OF THE ALLIED EXPEDITION
ARY FORCES IN ENGLAND,
July 12.—fAP>—“American at
tacks on 64 German oil installa
tions have curtailed the enemy’s
petroleum production to the point
where shortages are having an im
portant effect in mobilizing the
Nazi ground forces.” a senior U.
S. air officer declared today.
He added: “The object, thwart -
tng the mobility of the German
forces, is being achieved.”
The German air force is an
other of the main targets of the
U. S. air attacks of recent months,
decreasing 4he Nazi air force fast
er than they can be replaced.

and publ shed by GI's, the Daily
Polaris, printed on the Alaska
mainland, and the weekly Aleut -
ron, printed on the Aleutians,
received honorable meritibn in the
1944 world-wide Camp Newspa
pers’ contest. Both competed in
the mimeographed paper classi
fication
The GI Galley, a trade paper
for camp newspapers, had this to
. say about the contest: ‘"The pro
portion of honorable mention
awards was reduced considerably
in comparison to the total of ”4
awards in the 1945 contest The
honorable mention recognition is
further enhanced by the fact that
the to’&l number of entries in the
1944 contest was approximately
25 per cent h-ghcr than the pre
ceding year ~
The Daily Polaris won 3 cer
tificate of merit in the contest
last year and has the distinction
of serving both the post and a
■ nearby town, which had no civ
I ilian newspaper until recently.

includes Cpl. Fred Risner. editor;,
i Pfc. James Franklin Young, as
I sistant editor: and Pvt. Ted

War Bonds
Are Magic
Carpet
By WILLIAM F. BONI
(AP Features)
WITH STILWELL FORCES
IN THE MOGAUNG VALLEY—
An order comes from headquar
ters for you to pick up stakes,;
head for a new assignment and in
cleaning house among the months’
accumulation of jungle - molded
papers you come across one as
yet unfulfilled request.
It is for a brief s4ory to be used
in connection with the war bond
drives.
At first like any o4her corres-'
pondent, you wonder why any->
body need be urged to buy bonds
—wonder, whether, perhaps, we
as a profession have not painted;
war’s picture in enough of its;
horr'ble clarity. You wonder that;
and 4hen you wonder whether the
man who buys a bond realizes
what share that gives him in the
war effort.
When he puts down money for
a bond, he doesn’t know where
it goes except into the war ef
fort. Thus it gives him a share in
the war as a whole.
His bond may pay for gasoline
that powers a tiny liaison plane
which rescues a badly wounded
Merrill marauder from the Bur
ma jungle just in time to save
his life. It may be in a bomb re
leased from a P-40's wing rack
which smashes a Japanese bat
tery and ‘hus weakens the retreat
ing enemy’s artillery which has
been pound'ng Chinese infantry
men in the Hukawng Mogaung
valley for almost six months
without a break.
That bond may go into a truck
which an American Negro boy
! handles over a road hub-deep in
: mud or possibly the load of sore
I ly needed medical supplies which
‘hat truck is carrying.
It may be represen’ed by the
uniform of a gentle, efficient
nurse at a forward field hospital
or by a carbine which “Uncle
Joe” Stillwell slings over his
shoulder when this soldier’s gen
eral takes off on one of his fre
quent inspection tours of the
front lines.
That bond puts you as a buyer
aboard an aircraft carrier whose
planes bomb Palau or in the bomb
bay of a Flying Fortress on a mis- ■
sion over Berlin; in a landing
barge scraping the beach on a
north New Guinea coast, in a P
51 strafing a Nazi column in
Italy, in a torpedo that sinks a
Japanese supply ship bound for
Rangoon or in a Tommy gun that
drops a Jap sniper out of a tree in
north Burma.
That bond gives you all the
Yes, and in Your
Attic Too!
