American submarines, continuing to prey upon Japanese naval torces sup porting Nipponese occupation par ties on Kiska and Attu islands in the fog-bound Aleutians, prob ably have sunk another Japanese destroyer, the Navy disclosed to night. The newest success was scored oil July 5, only one day after United States underseas raiders blasted three other Japanese de stroyers to the bottom and left a fourth burning fiercely. The Navy communique was not certain the latest victim was sunk, but it said: "On the afternoon of July 5, a United States submarine, operat ing in the ^eutian Islands area, torpedoed and Is believed to have sunk a Japanese destroyer in the vicinity of Kiska. This is the fifth enemy destroyer to have been sun(c or damaged by our submarines in this area during the two-day period (July 4-5.) Torpedoing of the fifth destroy er brought to 15 the number of Japanese vessels sunk or damag ed in the Aleutians since the Navy revealed On June 3 that Nipponese planes had bombed the American naval air base at Dutch Harbor. It brought to ~4 the number of Japanese warships and anxi liary vessels sunk, probably sunk or damaged by American sub marines in the Pacific since the war began. Cairo. July 8. ? Fast British tank-hunt'ing parties lashed out 35 miles west of Egypt's El Ala meiu battle line- today, knocking out stray panzer units along Marshall Edwin Rommel's expos ed right flank while RAF planes bombed and shot up caravans of trucks hauling up the enemy's urgent water and oil supplies from the rear. Derelict Axis transports now littered the blistering desert sup ply road and reports from the front said Rommel showed signs o'f digging In, as if he did not feel equal to the task ot seizing the offensive for the moment, al though he was prepared to make a stand it t'he British made a general onslaught. There was very little German fighter plane activity. Some prisoners also were rounded up by the bard-driving British patrols which ranged the whole length of the Axis flank from A point south "of El Ala mein to south of El Daba. The main battle line,, looping around the Medlterannean coast in a fishhook shape, was generally static, however, and Rommel st-ill was stalled and taking a heavy pounding only 65 miles from the Alexandria naval base and scarce ly 50 from the western edge of the Nile delta, his next objec tives. * nanu Air supporr (Travelers reaching Ankara trom Egypt were quoted as say ing that the British have picked up radio messages from Rommel frantically demanding more air support to n^eet the crushing RAF concentrations over the battle area.) (A Vichy dispatch said there were reports that the British were on the point of turning Rommel's left flank and encircling him. Vichy said Rommel's long water haul from Tobruk, 310 miles to the rear, made his position peril ous and that he had done con siderable damage to his tanks by having their cupolas knocked oft so they could mount 89-mllllme ter Austrian field guns. ~ These guns enable his tanks to knock out British tanks a mile away, but the British quickly mounted 75-mllllmeter guns on t-hetr tanks and met> him on fairly even terms, the dispatch said.) Axis vehicles, gun positions and oil depots were shattered and left blazing In the wake of RAF fighter-bomber sweeps along the batUe line. Light bombers carried the assaults farther west, and medium bombers struck all the way to Tobruk again, keeping the whole enemy supply line under constant bombardment). Moscow, Thursday, July 9. ?

THE INLAND WATEWAY Chapel Hill, July 4. ? This question repeatedly raised by Governor J. M. Broughtou and others in the (ace of disastrous submarine attacks off the Atlan tic' Coast, particularly of North Carolina, is answered today in an art-lcle published in "Popular Government," the uiagazftif of the Inst it ute of Government, by two members of the University of North* Carolina Department of Geology. Profs. P. C. Kricksou and J. C. McCampbell. After tracing the waterway through North Carolina and dis cussing its limitations as reveal ed in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey the authors con clude: "It is not to be assumed that the Inland Waterway can replace t'he regular offshore shipping lane. Uather it should be thought of as an arterial route whereby small yet indispensable amounts of vital commodities could be safely amassed In eastern mar kets. At least~it can be utilized to prevent the pail from running dry." Among the reasons given for the limited present usefulness of the canals are their depth of 10 feet ? seven feet' for the alternate route through North Carolina ? relatively sharp turns, narrow drawbridges, tbe fact that long sections of canals are limited to one-way traffic, and vjhat the en tire waterway is affected by tides. \ Dredging. widening, and straightening the canals would quickly repay the work involved because of the Increased volume of vital commodities the water way could handle and because planes and naval vessels now used for patrol and convoy could be released for war duty, it Is pointed out. The article is Illustrated by a map drawn by Professor Erick son. o TO MEET The Franklin County Library Board will meet Tuesday even ing. July ^14, 1942 at 7:45. AU members please be present. MRS.
