being made on alleged allied complacence as regards the Pacific situation, was regarded in military quarters as posing a triple threat: - 1. The Japanese now are en= trenched along every route which the allies might use for a ‘north-

removed. 2. The enemy has increased the number of his invasion danger points and has greater opportunities of direction and combinations for a southward invasion drive. 3. Establishment of airdromes and seaplane bases on the islands would ‘increase Japanese operations, including bombings of the . Australian mainland with fighter escort. :

vide the enemy with observation points for the protection of the Japanese rear against allied air attacks, it was pointed out. . It was believed that allied reconnaissance reported in MacArthur's communique covered the island groups and that plane crews had reported there was no sign that the Japanese had yet established air fields in their new invasion zone. Gen. MacArthur reported that allied medium bombing planes had made a successful attack on the big Japanese bases in the SalamauaLae area of north New Guinea. The communique said also that the situation in the Buha-Gona area, 150 miles from Salamaua, had become static.

Danger Pointed Out

Allied patrols of Australian and native troops remained in contact with the Japanese at Kokoda. Both American and Australians were showing signs of anger at the idea, born of ‘a 'five-months’ lull in major fighting, that there was anything in the Australasian situation to justify complacence. A spokesman gave a few indications of the real situation yesterday. Five-sixths of all troops in this zone are Australians, American aid so far hardly more than replacés Australian losses overseas. Three days of American war production would double the supply of equipment and planes of the American expeditionary force. The strength of the navy in the southwest Pacific area approximates the Australian warships sunk so far or being used in other theaters. ae There was a growing feeling that the critical phase was coming in the southwest Pacific and that it might come this month.

WITHDRAW QUISLING UNITS NEW YORK, Aug. 7 (U.-P.).— The Idndon radio today. reported that Slovakian and Quisling Norwegian fighting units “had been withdrawn from axis*lines on the eastern front. It was reported that they had been returned to their home countries to maintain order.

tests abroad against his assertion in the original draft of his passive resistance resolution that India's first move after gaining independence probably would be to “negotiate with Japan.”

Azad Pledges Help

Maulana Azad, president of the congress, also spoke and challenged both Britain and the united nations

to weigh the congress demand for independence on two points: 1. Would India’s immediate independence jeopardize. and prejudice the allied war effort? "2. Would it lead to internal chaos and anarchy in India as was predicted in ‘London this week by Sir Stafford Cripps, British envoy to last spring’s ill-fated negotiations at New Delhi? ; If India was to be granted her independence now, Azad said, the present administration of the country would not be affected pending the setting up of a provisional Indian government. “With full responsibility I repeat that a free India would stand behind the united nations in the war against the axis and would fully co-operate with their (the allied) troops in this country for defense.”

2 Leaders Protest

Earlier the party’s full committee voted to send appeals to President Roosevelt, Gen. Chiang Kaishek of China and the Soviet ambassador to London, Ivan M. Maisky, urging support for Indian independence “before it is too late.” It was understesd that two powerful Indian leaders were pleading with the nationalists not to aid Japan by starting a mass campaign now but to postpone their independence drive until after the war.

C. R. Rajagopalachari, leader of the Madras area and former member of the working committee, was said to have sent letters to Gandhi and Azad, urging postponement of the campaign. ; Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, liberal leader, was reported to be planning a visit to Bombay to plead personally with the committee,

NAVIGATION COURSE NOW ‘STREAMLINED

By Science Service PITTSBURGH, . Aug. 7.—Excellent progress made by many students in .a new “streamlined” course in. celestial navigation, conducted here at’ Buhl Planetarium by Dr. Fitzhugh Marshall,’ shows that interested persons spending 15 hours in classroom and laboratory practice can acquire sufficient skill to become: proficient at navigation. The course given is not abridged. Although it is modernized, nothing is left out. - Results of a thorough objective test, Dr. Marshall explains, show that interested persons can acquire enough knowledge of celestial navigation to be of immediate help in the war effort without ‘having to spend two years passing prerequisite courses, viz: mathematics, laboratory science. __ i A satisfactory grade on the objective test, Dr. Marshall says, would have been 50 out of a possible 100 per cent. The class of ap= proximately 100 as a whole averaged 64 per cent. One student scored 100 per cent, two students scored 98 per cent, and quite a few persons made 82 per cent or higher.
