They {machine gunned such institutions ‘as a primary school and hospitals, where innocent children and in- { valids were killed or wounded. | “American congressmen boastfully report that the- raid was the | beginning of an American offensive.

“Reconstruction” Starts

Axis broadcasts quoted the Tokyo newspaper Asahi that 140 school children were killed in Saturday's raid as they lef their schoolrooms. These broadcasts spoke of incendiary bomb fires which, it was jemphasized, were put out, and of ‘machine gunning which, according to the axis propaganda, seemed to have been confined to children and hospital patients. In their attempts to minimize the | damage in raids which Japan itself announced, and had not been confirmed by any non-axis source, the | axis radios sometimes stumbled. Tokyo was contradictory in broadcasts which said that innumerable | parcels of clothing and other gifts | for “victims of the first enemy air raid on Japan” were arriving from {every part of the islands. “Reconstruction of destroyed houses is making rapid progress,” {it said, “thanks to the help of nu{merous volunteer workers, and it |is expected that the outer structure {of some houses which are to replace those destroyed by fire will | be completed by Monday.” { The Japanese finance ministry |advised Japanese to take out war | risk insurance policies to protect | themselves against loss in any future raids.

NAZI FOE TAKES AIR IN HEART OF BERLIN

LONDON, April 20 (U. P.).—The Gestapo has discovered a German freedom radio station in the top

floor of a high building on one of | Whenever your eyes

Berlin's main streets, the Swiss

newspaper Baseler National Zeitung reported today. The newspaper said, according to the British Broadcasting Co. that the Gestapo had long sought the station. When agents at last found it and broke in, the man operating it jumped out of a window. ’

The British forces in Burma are; near exhauston after more than three months of heavy fighting without sufficient rest and without any strong air support over most of the front. The semi-official Chinese central news agency in Chungking said that the continued allied withdrawals on the Sittang, Salween and Irrawaddy fronts constantly were exposing the flanks of the Chinese and British forces. Therefore, it was pointed out, a unified command must be set up immediately and the R. A, F. and American volunteer air squadrons strengthened to overcome Japan's aerial superiority.

China Getting Supplies

China’s supply chief, R. C. Chen, said that allied war supplies are flowing into China over “several Indian routes” despite Japan’s capture of the port of Rangoon, the terminus of the Burma road. Chen said great amounts of American aid are arriving constantly at India’s west ports and ere being shipped by rail to China. Russian dispatches said that the Nazi forces north and south of Leningrad were taking heavy beatings —on the 53d birthday of Adolf Hitler who was said to be spending the day on the eastern front directing his armies. Soviet dispatches for the first time reported that the spring thaw was turning battle fronts into a sea of mud, uncovering thousands of German dead. { A Russian offensive was said to be pounding forward on the Karelian isthmus north of Leningrad, crushing Finnish-German counter attacks and shattering several German regiments. South of Leningrad three regiments of reserves of the crack “Adolf Hitler division” were reported to have been annihilated and more than half of the Nazi 20th motorized division wiped out.

Reds See Turning Point

A significant dispatch from Kuibyshev, where cautious reticence has been maintained regarding Japan, quoted the official Red army newspaper as saying that a “turning point” is approaching in the Pacific struggle and that a united nations offensive will be started soon. Britain's great aerial offensive against Nazi-held western Europe, of important aid to the Russians and a prelude to an eventual allied offensive carrying the war back to Hitler, was slowed down by mists after eight days of mass attacks involving 2000 bombers and 500 fighter planes. British quarters said that, as result of the London visit of U. S. Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall, who arrived back in Washington Sunday, units of the U. S. force probably will be participating soon in the aerial offensive under a plan drawn up by Gen. Marshall and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The luftwaffe replied weakly over the week-end to the British aerial onslaught, bombing and machinegunning a southeast coastal district of England and bombing a coastal town early today. American and Australia planes struck again at Japan's “invasion base” at Rabaul in New Guinea, bombing ships, airdromes and antiaircraft emplacements and destroying or damaging a number of Japanese planes.

In the Dutch West Indies, an axis submarine early Sunday lobbed a few shells into the Royal Dutch Shell refinery at Yillemstad, without inflicting damage.

he said flatly that the Republican party must drop its isolationism after this war. This was secret and confidential to the newspaper boys until 4 p. m. At 3 o'clock, however, while the newspaper men were waiting to see Joe Martin, Republican national chairman, and Senator Taft of Ohio, someone turned on the radio and out hustled the voice of H. V. Kaltenborn reading the “secret and confidential” release. So, a few minutes later, when Joe Martin and Mr. Taft appeared, they were asked about it. Joe had no comment. A resolu tions committee would be appointed today, he said, and all resolutions would be referred to it. Asked, incidentally, about reports that Mr. Willkie was in favor of booting him out of his job, he said he had heard rumors that Mr. Willkie was “doing things antagonistic to me, but I asked him and he said he wasn’t and I believe in his word.”

Taft Urges Unity

Mr. Taft had no immediate comment on the Willkie resolution, but he pulled one of his own from an inside pocket as quick as you can say “Bob Taft.”

about the necessity of everybody, Republicans and Democrats, pulling together until the victory, and about reforms being dropped for the duration, and graft and waste stopped, and the like, but he didn’t say anything about what the Republican party ought to do when it was all over. “I don’t think,” he said, menting cagily on the Willkie idea after he had read his own resolu= tion aloud, “that you can tell what conditions will be after the war. I don't think we can say now what the policy of the peace should be.” Then it turned out that Senator “Curly” Brooks of Illinois, also an isolationist before Pearl Harbor, had a resolution too, but without anything concerning the peace or the foreign policy thereafter. The Issue Is Drawn Thus was the issue drawn, boiling down to whether the Republican national committee should declare itself now for internationalism after the war, or stop without committing itself now, and concern itself only with winning the war. When Mr. Jones called Mr. Willkie by long-distance and told him what the other side was saying, Mr. Willkie then dictated ean even stronger statement, about the Republican party recognizing “that America must take its full part hereafter in world affairs and help lead the peoples of the world to peace and democracy.” Sinclair Weeks, Republican national committeeman from Massachusetts, a Willkie ally in this fight, then dashed off a statement saying that the national committee could not throw Mr. Willkie’'s resolution into a resolutions committee—meaning the ashcan—without a fight.

But he pointed out that a unanimous invitation would be necessary, and he added: “Who can tell what 90 men will do?” The fight for control of the party in 1944 is on. The committcemen have their hands on the party machinery, but those who don't like Mr. Willkie see in the background, behind the formidable figure of the 1940 candidate, the 22,000,000 rank-and-file folks who voted for him two years ago.
