treated like any other day of the week. “I am sure that, with the knowledge that this policy will help expediate war production, it will have your wholehearted support.” Sacrifices by All Asked Mr. Roosevelt pointed out in his letter that “the relinquishment of double time should not operate as a windfall to any employer or group of employers.” ; “We are asking sacrifices from no group for the selfish benefit of any other group,” he wrote. “Total war demands total sacrifice for the common good. It is the intention of the government to renegotiate contracts with the employers wherever necessary to insure that the savings from the relinquishment of double or premium time go not the employer, but to the nation.” Given Standing Ovation

Immediate rationing of all commodities, including clothing, food and other goods necessary for the war effort. 5.

|anese forces thrusting into the Bay ‘of Bengal and closer to India—at Rangoon and the Japanese-seized Andaman islands—and hopes of halting the enemy east of India rest largely upon these dreadnaughts of the skies. This was the situation on the main fronts at the start of the fifth month of United States’ participation in the war:
Bay of Bengal British warships and long-range reconnaissaance planes searched for enemy naval forces in an attempt to check Japan’s sweep of conquest, now extending more than 5000 miles from the Solomon islands westward to the shores of India.
India India’s defenses were on the alert from Ceylon tb Calcutta after bombings of the coastal cities of Vizagapatam and Cocanada by Japanese carrier-based planes. An air raid alert sounded in Madras, port city and British fortress on the Bay of Bengal today, but the All-India radio reported that no enemy planes were sighted. It was the first such alert for the city of nearly 700,000 which lies about 250 miles north of Ceylon and just south of two Indian coastal cities bombed by Japanese planes yesterday. The efforts of Britain to enlist India’s millions actively in the air remained deadlocked.
Burma Units of the regular U. S. army air forces joined veteran American volunteer pilots with the Chinese forces as Japan’s two-way drive up through Burma offered new grave threats to the allied front. The Japanese, having destroyed two-thirds of the business district of Mandalay and inflicted an estimated 8000 casualties in bombing attacks, were pushing upon the Burmese temporary capital and the oil fields north of Prome.
Australia Allied air forces, including American bombers marked the start of the fifth month of the war with new attacks on Japan’s “invasion bases” off northern Australia, bombing Japanese-held airdromes and shipping centers at Lae and Gasmata on New Guinea, Rabaul on New Britain island and driving off Japanese air raiders which struck at Port Moresby for the 23d time. A number of Japanese planes were destroyed or damaged in the attacks. Lieut. Gen. E. K. Smart, Australia’s new representative on the Pacific war council in Washington, conferred with Gen. Douglas MacArthur before departing for the United States. A warning that Japan is massing strength on the island approaches to Australia was emphasized in Australian official and press comment designed toc offset optimism regarding the defense situation. There is every reason to believe that the enemy is massing strength in the Dutch East Indies and around New Britain island, official sources said. War Minister F. M. Forde asked Australian officers who escaped from New Britain island to make a report on published stories that Japanese troops shot or bayon-
REAR ADMIRAL FISKE, MANILA HERO, DIES
NEW YORK, April 7 (U. P.)— Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, 87. who invented the torpedo plane, the naval telescope sight and a dozen other devices internationally used in naval warfare, died last night at his Waldorf Astoria apartment after a long illness. He was born in Lyons, N. Y., and graduated from the U. 8S. Naval Academy, second in his class, in 1874. He became a rear admiral in 1911, and retired in 1916, although he served as president of the United States Naval institute until 1923. Serving as navigator on the Petrel during the Battle of Manila in the Spanish-American war, he was cited by Admiral Dewey for heroic conduct.

Japanese broadcasts said today that the conquest of Sumatra is now complete, Japanese troops having captured a total of 3100 prisoners in the northern and central sections of Sumatra.
Russia Both Russians and Germans were pouring tens of thousands of fresh reservists in the battlefronts of the biggest and costliest struggle ever known, in preparation for a Nazi spring offensive. . The German radio said the winter battle was virtually ended, that an interim phase has been entered and that Hitler's armies are being regrouped and centralized for the big push.
Western Europe The RAF, continuing its non-stop spring aerial offensive, carried out night bombings of Germany's industrial Ruhr and Rhineland despite bad weather.
Philippines Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright's outnumbered American and Filipino defenders of Bataan peninsula were putting up “savage” resistance against slamming Japanese assaults that have pushed them back farther south toward Corregidor fortress, which is under almost constant siege.
~ Mediterranean The 1340-ton British destroyer Havock is a “total loss” after being wrecked in the Mediterranean off the Tunisian coast while escorting a convoy, the admiralty announced. Four Italian liners were anchored off Gibraltar and it was expected that they would depart shortly under escort of British warships to pick up the Italian prisoners of war being exchanged for British prisoners. Eight British soldiers and 22 olan workers were killed last ght in an explosion while unloading Italian ammunition at the Suez canal and 80 persons are missing. An Egyptian communique, said eight persons were killed and 32 injured when axis planes raided Alexandria naval base during the night.
