BULKELEY'S PTS STING ANOTHER
Mosquito Boats Leave Jap Cruiser Sinking Amidst Five Warships.
WASHINGTON, April 22 (U. P). —Lijeut. John D. Bulkeley and his “sea guerrilla’s” have done it again. This time it was a Japanese light cruiser that felt the sting of the navy motor torpedo boat squadron led by Bulkeley. At least three times before BulKeley's little “suicide squadron” of PT boats has emerged guerrillalike from hidden bases in the Philippines and spread terror among the enemy. He and his men have taken their tiny craft into heavily guarded bays, rammed torpedoes home almost under the muzzles of enemy guns—and gotten away with it. In his latest exploit, Bulkeley led two PT boats in a night foray against a fleet of five Japanese warships. Eluding four enemy destroyers, the Americans centered their attack on a light cruiser and left it in a sinking condition. A navy communique announcing this bold action indicated that Bulkeley might have tried to leave a torpedo “calling card” or two with the destroyer escort but heavy enemy counter action forced a retirement of the Americans. One of the boats—the PT-34— was forced ashore on the island of Cebu, where a Japanese invasion force is now engaging the American Filipino defense garrison. The other, the PT-41, made good its &scape. There was no indication which boat Bulkeley was aboard.
EGYPT PLEDGED TO SHORT-OF-WAR AID
CAIRO, April 22 (U. P). — The Egyptian parliament was on record today in favor of short-of-war cooperation with Britain and her allies. By a vote of 185 to 5, parliament last night approved .the governments arrest of former Premier Aly Maher Pasha and reaffirmed Egypt's fidelity to Britain. Maher Pasha, who resigned as premier June 23, 1940, was arrested for “reasons concerned with the security of the state.” Mustapha Nahas Pasha present premier, told the chamber that he would take no step to put Egypt into the war, but added: “TI will permit no action that will endanger the position of allited

‘EAGLE NESTS'
Hills of Oahu Keep
Guard Over Island.
By WILLIAM TYREE United Press Staff Correspondent A MOUNTAIN ARMY BASE Hawaii, April 22—High in the mountains of Oshu are American army eagle nest camps that already have proved their worth in spotting enemy submarines. Capt. Birdsey Learman, 29. a 1938 West Point graduate from Essexville, Mich., commands the camp I visited and he admitted his men had spotted some underseas boats. “That is about all I can tell you about it,” he said. “We've had a little ‘excitement already and our communication wires have been out a few times, but nothing serious has happened.” The camp, thousands of feet above the famed beaches of Hawaii, commands a 40-mile view of the ocean, and the guns that are being placed will sweep the beaches if hostile forces seek to land.
Mules Pack Supplies
Reaching one of these mountain camps that command a sweep of Oghu’s 585 square miles is a tough task, but the army is carrying tons of food, water, forage, ammunition and guns up the steep mountain trails every day. Sure-footed pack mules carry the supplies and the soldiers up the trails that wind along the sheer cliffs thousands of feet above the beaches. Occasionally one of the animals loses its balance and goes crashing over the side to the rocks hundreds of feet below. Trying to storm such a heighth in the face of gunfire would be suicide. .
View Is Maghificent
That's one of the reasons the Army is preparing such camps and stocking them with provisions, for an event of a successful invasion of Oahu they would become places of last ditch resistance. A climb to Capt. Lieatman’s camp is worth the effort, however, for from this vantage point the view is magnificent, ahd besides, there's a bottle of soda pop awaiting each arrival.

But Maj. Lynn Cowan of Van Nuys, Cal, has vowed to provide week-end entertainment for troops on leave, blue laws or no.
Experience in Singapore
Maj. Cowan, one-time vaudeville song-and-dance man, fired the opening blast last week at a Sydney conference to discuss Sunday entertainment. Maj. Cowan already has started to line up week-end entertainment. His experience in show business included several years as a night club operator in Singapore. Indorsing Maj. Cowan’s efforts to obtain wholesome recreation for troops on leave is Maj. John Kinney, chaplain of the American forces. Maj. Cowan's blast ied Melbourne to stage a Sunday night entertainment in its town hall for 3000 service men and their girls. Lloyd L.amble, new president of the Australian Actors’ Equity, said the organization was “eager” to cooperate by staging Sunday shows.
Test Show Called Off
One Sydney theater had planned to stage a play next Sunday as a blue law “test,” but canceled when authorities threatened legal action. One of the most attractive weekend entertainment spots for service men is the “power house,” a hospitality center established by a group of local philanthropists.

LOUIS F. KEEMLE
Onited Press War Analyst United States strategy in the Pacific is shaping up
in a way that forebodes plenty of future trouble for Japan at sea and in the air. Exclusion of New Zealand from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's southwestern Paeific command, which
was forecast last
week, has now been confirmed. A
command of the south Pacific has been created, to be headed by Vice Admiral Robert Ghormiey, under the direction of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the United States Pa-
cific fleet. This command will be
roughly south of the equator and
probably as far west at the 160th; or 155th meridian. While working in close liaison with Gen. MacArvhur, Admiral Ghormley will be linked with the Hawaiian command, with jurisdiction over most of the stepping stone islands on the American sea and air route to the orient. This means that the United States navy will play a major role in carrying the war to Japan. The Japanese will have two extended fronts to protect. One is the long sea front extending southward from Japan past the Japanese-mandated islands. The other is the Netherlands Indies.
Scatter Jap Forces
The southern, or East Indies front, will be Gen. MacArthur's job. When his offensive is organized, he expected to push northward, probably first seeking to drive the Japanese off New Guinea.
The navy, meanwhile, will strike at the enemy's flank and communications lines in the mandated islands north of the equator. If these lines are disrupted, Gen. MacCArthurs task will be made easier. The strength of this strategy lies in its potential ability to scatter Japan’s sea and air power.

The Japanese dare not put too
much strength in the Indian ocean
with the United States threatening her from the east and south. Gen. Archibald P. Wavell, British com=-mander-in-chief for India, said last night that the united nations soon will be strong enough at sea to drive the Japanese out of the Indian ocean. If a third offensive develops from that direction, the Japanese would be on the defensive on three sides, and completely hemmed in should the United States and Russia start operations from Siberia. All this is hope for the future, and undoubtedly will be a long time in developing. From the long view, however, Japan’s weakness is her over-exten-sion and should eventually prove her undoing.
