Japs Vacate Island BY UNITED PRESS The British radio reported today that the Japanese are believed to have evacuated Santa Isabel Island in the central Solomons. The broadcast, recorded by United Press in New York, said the report was received by the British Broad casting Commission in a cable from Hayden Leonard, Australian board casting commission reported. Santa Isabel is one of the largest islands of the Solomons group, ly ing northwest of Guadalcanal and northeast of New Georgia. Allied forces so far have made no attempt to capture Santa Isabel but the Japanese position there has become increasirgly difficult since the cap ture of Vella Levella Island to the west and control of New Georgia by American forces. First indication that Santa Isabel may have been abandoned by the enemy tvas given by a spokesman at allied headquarters in Australia to cay, when he announced that Ameri can heavy bombers encountered no eppesitien in Rekata Bay on the island last Monday. The spokesman suggested that th;? Japanese may have pulled out from this once important seaplane base, which was their last known position on Santa Isabel. Alaska Seeks Statehood Washington, Sept. 2.

Berlin Showered Again By Block Buster Raids London, Sept. 1. (UP) British four - cngined bombers, hundreds strong, smashed another huge sec tion of Berlin into blazing ruins last night In a 45-minute thunder bolt that marked the end of the fourth year of the war. Wave3 of allied planes also swept across the English southeast coast in daylight today to carry a non stop Anglo-American aerial offen sive against Hitler's European fort resses into its second day. Ameri can Flying Fortresses attacked an airfield at Amiens-Glisy in north western France last evening to cli max yesterday's raids. The RAF's four-engined night bombers, including Stirlings, Hall faxes and Lancasfers, sent what wa3 officiallly described as a "great weight" of explosive and fire bombs crashing down on Berlin, Germany's biggest war industry center. Four-ton super block busters liter ally blew buildings to pieces while spreading conflagrations painted the night skies, a rosy glow that be sceI1 b he bombing, crews far to the wesson their homeward journey. The German radio called the raid a 'terror" attack. Hundreds of thou sands ot Berlin inhabitants have been evacuated from the capital in anticipation of another devastating offensive such as the nine raids that ell but wiped out Hamburg. How ever, members of the air raids pre- aution service have been ordered to stay in Berlin to fight fires and succor the wounded, despite the fury of the attack. The raid, 77th of the war on Berlin, touched off one of the great est air battles yet fought by the British bombers over Europe. Tho Luftwaffe massed all available night fighter strength and the first forma tions pounced on the bombers soon after they crossed the European coast in a futile attempt to disperse them.

Meat Given Slight Points Cut By 0PA Rulings Butter Situation However Remains in Slump and Eaisc in Points Will Be made ' " : Washington. (UP) The Office of Price Administration, moving in the face of seasonal improvement in the meat situation but a decided slump in butter production, today ordered the rationing cost of thirty five meat cuts reduced by one to two points and the value of creamery butter r&ised from 10 to 12 points per pound. The point changes, which will be in effc; from Sept. 5th through Oct. 2nd wert. dictated by what OPA of ficials described as the "best meat picture since rationing began and a serious tutter outlook." All lamb and mutton items, with the exec'ption of breast and flank, and some variety of meats, were or- Jdercd reduced by one point Also cut one point were oeci riD cuts roast and steak and sirloin steak, along with a few pork items. Most bacon cuts were ordered re duced by two points. Placed on the point table for the first time were canned fish products which contain more than 20 per cent of rationed fish such as sand wich spreads and fish paste. They v.ill cost 12 points. OPA officials said that the meat revisions were made possible by prospects that the nations meat stores would have about 7 per cent more meat in September than in August. OPA officials made no effort to conceal their apprehension about the butter situation. For the first time, creamery butter and "farm" butter were listed separately and given dif ferent ioint values. Country butter was assigned a value of 6 points per pound ompared with the new creamery butter value pf 12 points a pound. The OPA hopc3 by placing a low er point value on "farm butter." which ij sold mainly in rural areas, to increase its consumption by those who have expended points for cream ery. Call Relatives Pvt.
