This rais ed the number of Japs killed by the patrol to 23. Several of the Japs were caught playing dead. One of them was crouching in a doorway, saber in hand, waiting to cut the first man to enter to pieces. A little way behind sat a second Nip with an American pistol ready for firing. 'Both were killed by the patrol leader. Two more Nips were caught in this way. One was lying in a drawers, the other beneath a bed. Infantry men saw them breathing and made sure they stopped before moving on. As part of the patrol approached a shack, a soldier saw a Jap hiding beneath. He seemed to be working at something with both of his hands in front of him. Then he raised his right arm. The American fired. A few seconds later a hand grenade ex ploded. The Nips had been shot just as he was about to throw the gre nade at the Americans. A sergeant had just finished off a Nip when he noticed two more lying in the grass a few yards ahead.

LOST RAION BOOKS NOT-TO BE REPLACED Because of the great Dumber of Ration books being lost or mutilated, the local rationing board announces that replacements can no longer be made. Ration books and stamps, like money, are valuable property to be protected by every means available. When books or coupons are lost or destroyed, the own#r will have to suffer the loss. In such circumstan ces as the burning of hom-is or other unpreventable losses, state ment may be made before a notary public and such applications will receive the proper attention of the board. J. L Welling, Chairman. Many Fail To Pay Congressman Hare today urged the Ways and Means Committee to include provisions that would repeal the existing revenue law so as to remove the extra penalty tax im posed on retail dealers who ra«y be delinquent in securing the stamp re quired of such dealers and suggest ed the law* requiring the purchase of the $5.00 Automobile Use Tax Stamp also repealed. In his justification of the latter request Mr. Hare pointed out that the State Highway Department of South Carolina reports that under the new registration beginning Oc tober 1944, owners of 326,350 motor vehicles have purchased license tags to operate such vetncles within the State, but the record* of the Bureau of Internal Revenue show 219,626 Automobile Use Tax Stamps have been sold to owners, indicating 105,- 824 owners of automobiles have hot purchased such stamps and due to the lack of enforcement facilities in the law it is impossible to ascertain the names of those who have failed to comply with the law. The Congressman pointed out that the stamps can be purchased from any post office or from the Bureau of Internal Revenue and that when a stamp is sold no record is made as to the name of the purchaser. There fore, if an inspector should find a ear without a stamp attached and the owner or operator should find a car without a stamp attached and the owner or operator should say the stamp had been purchased but lost the inspector could proceed no fur ther because there is no record made of the purchaser and he insisted that the law should either be r«(peal- ed or additional legislation enacted providing for proper enforcement. Referring to the oleomargarine tax penalty the Congressman said: Under existing law retail dealers in whiskey, beer, wine, etc. are requir ed to purchase freifc the Bureau of Internal Revenue a stamp that per mits them to engage in this parti cular business. The operators off pool tables, slot machines, -piubafl machines, etc. are also required to purchase a similar stamp, but the point I am complaining about Is when any of the dealers referred to ere delinquent in purchasing the stamps a penalty of five per cent for each thirty days they are delinquent is assessed up to a maximum of twenty-five per cent. This penalty applies to alL but toe discrimination to which I invite your attention is against the dealer in oleamargajne because if he is delinquent he is not only equired to pay the fine to -which we have referred but he is assessed an additional penalty of not less than $50 or more than $500 This ■additional penalty is not required of any of toe other dealers and oper ators referred to and I insist this penalty required of dealers in oleo margarine is an unfair, unjust and unwa rranted discrimination and should be repeled.” WARD - SMITH • Mrs. Augusta Ann Ward of Ashe ville, N.
