Heavy bombers hit Formosa day and night. The Chomousi airdrome on the' Pescadores Is lands to the west was another target. Patrol bombers, ranging the China Sea, damaged rail facili ties at French Indo-China, sank a coastal ship offshore and de stroyed a cargo vessel at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China.

SALE OF E BONDS REPORTED LAGGING Washington — Sale of Series E savings bonds is somewhat be hind schedule in the 7th War Loan Drive. But Series F and G saving! bonds are going better than ex pected.

The limit for “B” card holders who can show an actual need for more gasoline will be raised to 650 miles per month on June 11. “I share with Chester Bowles and the Petroleum Administration the pleasure of announcing this increase in gas rations for civili an motorists,” he continued. “The additional quantities to be made available to civilian use are not guaranteed' for any certain .period of time but must always jremain dependent upon changes jin the military demand. The j military has always had, and must j always have first call, he explain ed. i In explaining the increase in the “B” card ceiling, L. W. Driscoll pointed out that a person who needs only 200 miles a month will (continue to receive that amount. But a person who uses his car in his business and who needs more than he is now receiving will be [able to get additional rations up I to 650 gallons per month. In both cases they will receive the 50% increase in the “A” ration, he as sured.

The sure foundations of the State are laid in knowledge, not in ignorance; and every sneer at education, at culture and at book learning which is the recorded ”dsdorr>. of the experience of man dollars. E bonds are the popular war bonds held by 85,000,000 Americans. The sale of E bonds is behind schedule $214,000,000, Treasury officials said.
