“Back the Attack,” slogan for the |
3rd War Loan Drive which begins |
today, took on a new meaning ves-
terday with the unconditional sur-
render of Italy
“Back the Attack” now means the
attack on the very heart of Nazism
~Grermany
The long hoped-for attack now is
not something which may take place
in months or years-—the attack can
be expected to fall on Germany
$00n as the United Nations
prepared the groundwork :
Part of that groundwork is the
massing of sufficient men, supplies,
planes, tanks, guns and other equip-
ment to guarantee that the armie
can move yteadily forward
That's where those of
home front are needed at-
tack will require billions of dollars
worth of materiel and supplies, and
the 3rd War Loan is expected to
provide $15,000.000.000 of the needed
money,
Centre county's share of the com-
ing attack has been placed at $2.-
549,600.
Claude G. Alkens, of State College,
chairman of the War Finunce Com-
mittee, yesterday declared that in
order to meet the county quota every
citizen wili have to convert every
cent possible Into war bonds

paign ever held in the county, Mr
Alkens has named a number of spec-
lal committees and has appointed

committees to solicit the farm pop-
ulation of the county
