New Weapons Soon to Be Turned on Axis, Arnold Tells Cadets.

fortresses and Liberator bombers perhaps are “the last-of the ‘small’ bombers.” Both of Gen. Arnold’s statements were cautious but optimistic about the future of the aerial phase of the war, One was made last Tuesday at a press conference here. The second came yesterday at Randolph field, Tex., in a speech to the grad-

luating classes of Randolph and

three other Texas flying schools. Together they were interpreted here as preliminary statements to a gigantic offensive in the air against the axis.

Promises Tokyo Attacks

Gen. Arnold told the graduating fliers that within a few months, the Germans and Italians will feel the impact of “hundreds of planes dropping their bombs not on one or two nights a week, but every day and night in the week.” « “We’ll soon put on a demonstration for Hitler and Hirohito,” he said, “and we don’t think they are going to like it either.” American planes will make good the Japanese radio warning to its people that American forces will raid Tokyo again.

Pledges Repeated Raids

“We are coming and we hope fo make it soon,” he said. “And when we do come it will be in large numbers. We won’t stop with one visit. But we will return again and again.” “Here's the picture he dréw of the forthcoming air offensive: “We will hit their submarines while being constructed on their ways, at their bases and out in the wide oceans. We will hit their transportation facilities, their industries,

Today's War Moves

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst

The withdrawal of the Germans from the natural defense bottleneck of El Agheila without attempting resistance indicates that they have abandoned hope of holding Libya. Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery, commander of the

British eighth army, proved himself a brilliant tacti-

cian when, after careful preparation, he drove Field Marshal Erwin Rommel out of the El Alamein bottleneck, flanked on | the one side by the sea and the other by the Qattara depression, He | achieved it in spite of the gesp defenses which the

to build. The geographical position of El Agheila is somewhat comparable. | The broad coastal highway runs between the sea and an area of salt marshes and ridges which make flanking operations impracticable. Whether because he lacked time to build the necessary defenses, or because he is outnumbered by the British both on land and in the air, Rommel did not elect to stand|— at El Agheila. If Rommel could not hold at El Agheila, there is little reason to suppose he could do: so at lessdefensible Misurata, which is 285 miles to the west and about 100 miles east of Tripoli. If he falls back to Tripoli, Rom=mel would be in little better position. Military expediency would dictate a retreat into Tunisia, abondoning all Libya to the victorious allies. With the remnant of his forces and equipment, Rommel could be of great aid to the axis if he could effect a junction with the strong forces already in Tunisia. The Germans then could put up a strong fight to hold the northeastern corner of Tunisia in the coastal region extending southward from

| Bizerte to the Mareth line.

The Germans in that case would be in a pocket and under pressure both from east and west, but they would be in an excellent military position. The Mareth" line alone would be difficult to crack from the east, since it was built by the French

COUNTY EXCISE TAX SHARE IS $365,236

Marion county received $365,236.77 as its share of the state excise fund for the fiscal year 1941.42 the Indiana alcoholic beverages commis sion reported today. Receipts for the year ended June 30 were the largest in the. history of the department, the announcement said, but commissioners warned that drastic reduction in | excise revenue is anticipated for the current year because of the new federal regulation prohibiting the manufacture of distilled spiritous beverages. The excise fund is derived from license fees of retailers and dealers and is distributed back to counties on .the basis of two-thirds to eivil units and one-third to school taxing units. In the last fiscal year cities and towns received $1,466,628.96 from the excise fund, and school wits $731,956.68.
