trated in the islands to the north from where they might strike at the’ vital supply line from the United States.
"62 Planes in 72 Hours
‘American - troops are on the French island of New Caledonia, ethwart the’ supply lines; but the Japanese have a, foothold in. the
Solomon islands and the tone of dispatches from the southwest Pacific today put particular emphas on the enemy’s strength both in the air and on the sea. Apparently reflecting official .comment, American correspondents warned. that the Japanese 8pearheads north: of Australia had only been dulled rather than broken or blunted as a result of steady allied air bombing of at least eight bases. The American pilots were credited with striking highly effective blows and with shooting down or destroying enemy planes at the rate of almost one an hour for a total of 62 in a 72-hour period.
Claim No Superiority
But it was stated that the Amer=.fcan and allied air squadrons do not claim to hold air superiority over the islands which Japan seized as invasion bases and that more war supplies are urgently needed on the Australian front if a bigscale invasion thrust is to be repulsed. The allied - air forces, as well as the Japanese, have suffered losses in the preliminary fighting, the dispatches pointed out. Greatest interest centered on Japanese naval concentrations and it was suggested that the two planes that flew over Townville might have come from an aircraft parrier since that Australian city is gome 1000 miles from any enemy
. A Berlin radio announcement apparently confirmed Gen. MacArthur's belief that the Japanese were ready to strike again. The Nazis declared that Japan did not intend to wait for an allied attack upon occupied islands but that the Nipponese are preparing for an attack on Australia itself. Burma Defense Crumbles
The sudden emphasis on Japanese preparations in the Australia area followed what appeared to be virtual enemy conquest of the Burma gateway to China and India. Fighting still was in progress in north central Burma, but the British. indirectly acknowledged Japan's ¢laim that the walled city of Man- . @alay had fallen and Chinese reports said the enemy column that slashed through Lashio had pushed along: the Burma road to within 40 miles of the Chinese frontier, where reserves sent from Yunnan province smashed the Japanese back with heavy casualties. . British troops in the Mandalay gector were falling back to the north after blowing up bridges at Ava and elsewhere on the. rivers of central Burma. They also were fighting at Monywa, 30 miles weso of Mandalay, to protect their west flank frem the threat of encircle‘ment. = Akyab Is Bombed ‘The Burma campaign, however, was believed by British experts in London to be virtually ended, with the allies seeking to inflict the heaviest possible casualties on the enemy as they withdrew northward. Guerrilla type fighting probably will continue, it was said. ‘ ‘Japanese planes heavily bombed many Burmese towns and also attacked Akyab, only 75 miles from the Indian frontier, increasing beilef that a drive might soon develop ‘foward India.
Red Army Attacks
On the European fronts, the Red drmy was reported attacking strongly again in an effort to break ‘through German lines on the Bry-ansk-Orel-Kursk sector of the south central front and on the Kalinin front northwest of Moscow. These are the two main heads of Russian winter drives which hammered back but never were able to collapse the
- principal German defenses.
«The royal air force resumed scattered bombardment of the European . ¢oasts, scoring two hits on a German destroyer off Norway and attacking French targets, but weather fnterefered with big scale bombing raids. In the Philippines, enemy air forces intensified their bombard‘ment of the fortress of Corregidor in Manila bay in an apparent at‘tempt to bring about a quick decision there but without any indication of a marked change in the ‘situation.

LONDON, May:2 (¥W, P.),—Coastal command planes scored a hit on a German destroyer off the Norwegian
planes attacked enemy airdromes in occupied France, the air ministry announced today. An American” - made Lockheed Hudson bomber dropped two bombs on the destroyer’s deck, the air ministry said. Bad weather kept British ‘Tong: range bombers grounded for the second straight night, but the coast command planes fought through rain and clouds to reach the Norwegian toast, attacked shipping and hit the destroyer.
Penalty Too High?
Loss of one coastal command plane was admitted. For the first time in 11 days of merciless war in - the air, the air
ministry had reported that there were no German planes over Britain during the night. The Germans had lost at least 24 bombing planes in eight days over Great Britain, in addition to many which probably . crashed on the way home, and as the total of their raiding planes probably did not exceed 200, they may have decided that the penalty for the deliberate bombing of non-military British towns was too expensive. British planes fought through rain over the English channel last evening in numbers which astonished coastal observers to attack the Le Havre-Cape Gris Nez area on the French side, railroad yards and the station at St. Omer and various targets in occupied France. Eight British fighter planes were lost and one German fighter was downed. Ome British pilot was saved. .
GORE WILL ASK FROZEN WAGES
Bill Also to Seek Forced
Savings, bw Farm Prices at™Parity. WASHINGTON, May 2 (U. P)— Rep. Albert Gore (D. Tenn.) said today he will introduce anti-infla-tion legislation next week to freeze wages at current levels and to impose ceilings on farm prices at parity, His bill also would call for compulsory saving by all persons with incomes in excess of $1500 after tax deductions. Rep. Gore sald his proposal was designed to implement President Roosevelt’s seven-point program to curb rising living cost. The bill would: : 1. Freeze all wages, salaries and bonus payments as of the day on which it was introduced, 2. Grant - statutory authority to the war labor board. Objects to Pay Boosts 3. Prohibit future wage increases except in cases where earnings are sub-standard. Written permission of the board would be necessary for pay boosts. 4. Amend the existing price control law to check farm prices when they reach straight “parity,” rather than af the 110 per cent ceiling written in by the congressional farm bloc. The measure would set up a graduated scale for compulsory savings, computed on income after tax deductions. It would range from 10 per cent for persons with a $1500 net limit up to 100 per cent on sums in excess of $25,000, the amount Mr. Roosevelt proposed as top pay for the duration.

WHY DID HITLER LEAVE OUT JAP?
Tokyo Envoy May Ask Duce; Nazi Boys of 10 Must Work on Farms.
By UNITED PRESS The mystery over exclusion of Japan from the Hitler-Mussolini conference at Salzburg, Austria, was deepened today when it was reported that Lieut. Gen. Hiroshi Oshima, Japanese ambassador to Germany, was going to Rome to see Benito Mussolini. The report came from the Tokyo radio and was relayed by the Australian radio, which recorded it.
When Mussolini met Adolf Hitler at Salzburg, Oshima was visiting Munich, 70 miles away.
Was It Manpower?
Today’s report might indicate that Oshima was somewhat surprised himself that he was not called into the meeting. It was suggested in London that Oshima’s absence might mean that Hitler and Mussolini were discussing internal problems, especially means of raising men for the Russian front and for German war economy.
Boys of 10 on Farms
Germany decreed yesterday a program under which boys of 10 years and upward will be forced to do farm work until next Nov. 15. Even boys in Poland are to be “drilled” for work. ' Axis countries meanwhile hinted darkly at momentous military developments as a result of the conference and private advices said that its first important effect might be the moving of Marshal Erwin Rommel, Germany’s foremost expert in mechanized warfare, from Libya to the Donets basin of Russia for a major spring offensive.

Mutiny Balked By Alert Sentry
CAIRO, May 2 (U. P.).—A British sentry from South Africa who understood German was credited today with frustrating a plot by German prisoners to seize a troop ship.on which they were being transported from Cairo to a prison camp in the Union of South Africa. The sentry, guarding the prisoners on deck one evening, was puzzled by the words of a song which the Germans were singing. The lyrics, he found, contained instructions for a mutiny and seizure of the ship that night. He reported to his officers and a thorough search was made of the prisoners and their quarters.. The guard was doubled and the Germans, said to have included a general named Von Ravenstein, were placed on bread and water rations.

|pead, ‘Wounded, Missing
“During Four Months of War Totaled.
WASHINGTON, May 2 (U. P). —U. 8. naval forces suffered casualties totalihg at least 6393—dead, wounded and. missing—in a little more than four months of war, the navy department announced today. Covering the period Dee. 7 to April 15, the casualties fncluded 2991 dead, 2495 missing and 907 wounded. Most of these gccurred in action with the ehemy and included personnel of the navy, marine corps and coast guard, the ndvy said. The majority of the dead were understood to have been the victims of the Dec. T attack on Pearl Harbor. Most of the missing were believed to have beéh aboatd the cruiser Houston and other U. S. naval vessels lost in the battle of Java. Officials said the missing did not include the more than 1000 naval and marine corps personnel presumed to have been taken prisoner in Wake island, Guam and China.
Army Lists Incomplete
War department casualty lists released to date have accounted for 283 officers and enlisted men killed in Hawaii and the Far East. They also have listed 396 men wounded in the attack on Pearl Harbor. “The lists, however, cover only a small portion of the army’s casualties to date. On April 17, it was reported in a communique that 35,000 U. 8S. and Filipino troops, in addition to 25,000 .civilians and several thousand non-combatants in the supply service, were presumed to be in Japanese hands on Bataan. Navy officials said casualties for the period covered in its announcement actually may be greater since the list includes only those cases where the next of kin have been notified. They added that casualty reports from the scenes of action are subject to long delay.
Navy Losses Above First War
A breakdown of casualties by service branches was not available but there wes no doubt that navy personnel losses thus far exceed those suffered throughout World War I. In that conflict, 871 navy officers and enlisted men were lost. Marine corps casualties totalled 10,521, including 1450 killed, but most of these occurred while the leathernecks were fighting with the army in France. The navy’s list included men lost in accidents at sea and in the air on duty directly connected with wartime operations. Announcement of the casualty totals was by way of a prelude to release by the navy Tuesday of its first casualty lists.

more than 80,000 would cast their ballots. Most of the estimates ran lower. In the municipal election, it was estimated that 35,000 Republicans would vote, but anti-organization leaders added that “thére may be a surprisely higher total.” Most Democrats agreed that the vote in the city would run around 32,000 on their side.
Few Absentees Vote |
A clear-cut indication of the lack of interest is shown by the request for absentee ballots, In past primaries, the total has run from 1200 to 1500, but to date, only 250 applications for absentee ballots have been received, Cletus Seibert, deputy county clerk, said. The overshadowing interest in the war and the fact that so many regular party workers are engaged in defense work and have failed to show the usual pre-election enthusiasm are given as the reasons for the light vote, expected to be little more than half the 1940 total. Two G. O. P. candidates withdrew as voting time neared—William H. Caldwell in the sheriff race and Coburn T. Scholl in the superior court 2 judge race. Mr, Caldwell said he was with-
.|drawing “owing to the uncertainty lof my status in the army draft,”

PAUL McNUTT won't get the blank check he’s angling for to dole out supplemental funds to soldiers’ families, beyond the sums they'll get under main part of allowance and allotment bill. Senators think his plan smacks too much of relief; want no case workers doling out money to families of service men. War and navy are equally disapproving; want fixed amounts written into legislation so theére’s no chance for soldiers and sailors to say one’s wife is treated better than another's. “A-and-A” bill will pass, probably with larger allowances than now provided.
