In the Pacific, the situation is slightly different. The need for air power is just as great if not, in .& sense, greater. The use of ground ‘troops on any large. scale is ruled ;out for the present by the nature of the battleground. It is spread «out over thousands of miles and among hundreds of islands, some large, some small.

Occupying forces are needed but in comparatively small dfumbers on most of the islands. The real work is done by ‘the air force and the =navy. Even if we had millions of infantry in Australia, there would be no place for them to go. » Gen. Douglas MacArthur and his spokesmen ° repeatedly have em--phasized the need for more bombers and fighters, insisting that if they are forthcoming, we can overwhelm the Japanese. MacArthur repeatedly emphasizes his point by uch feats as the latest allied sweep “over a wide area of the Japanese“held area north of Australia, in: “the course of which 14 enemy bases were blasted. The Japanese are now believed by “Far Eastern observers to have sidetracked the idea of invading Aus‘Aralia in favor of building an imPregnable barrier in the island arc above that continent. This deTense arc might enable the Jap“anese to hold on to and consolidate ‘their rich conquests perhaps for _Yyears unless they are Blasted out by air power.

SEES 25% DROP IN FARM OUTPUT

Standard Insurance Head Tells Realtors of His Own Experiences.

Asserting that the farm problem two months ago is a desperate food problem now, Dr. J. Raymond Schutz, president of the Standard Life Insurance Co. of Indiana, said yesterday that “the nation’s 1943 food crop would not equal 5 per cent of last year’s.” Dr. Schutz spoke to the Indianapolis Real Estate Board at the Hotel Washington. \ «He “guessed” that half the pig crop of Indiana was already dead for lack of attention during the recent freeze and said that his own farm would hardly produce 10,000 pounds of pork this year, although it could easily contribute 100,000 pounds if he could get hired help. “We can’t produce a crop equal to 110 per cent of last year’s, as we have been asked: to do, when there are 2,000,000 fewer men on the farms,” he said. If you can show me how we can put four more million men under arms and not neglect our food crop, I will show you a miracle.

Has Only One Farmhand

“When we took two million men off the farm we blundered and blundered hopelessly.” Last year I sacrificed my livestock and couldn’t get my crops harvested. The only help I have now is one 65-year-old man whom I pay $100 per month, “Some day we will take apart

ling, but this is not the time. We've got to feed the allies, of the theater. of war will be transferred to our side of the oceans.”

LONDON, March 19 (U.P.).—German strongarm squads have started house-to-house searches for French workers ‘ defying a labor roundup aimed at sending 1,000,000 Frenchmen to Germany within three months, underground reports from

the continent said today.

Swiss dispatches said that French mobile guards were moving in on guerrillas entrenched in the mountains. The latest reports of simmering violence in France said Pierre Laval, Vichy chief of government, had promised Adolf Hitler 1,000,000 French workers for his war factories. Since the first of the year 380,000 have been conscripted. The country-wide rebellion against the roundup’ was reflected in reports that the French were refusing in wholesale lots to heed the Nazi-Vichy summonses, with occupation authorities trying to rout the dissidents out of their hiding-places. Other advices from Europe said French mobile police were deserting to the guerrilla forces in the mountainous Haute-Savoie border area in such numbers that. regular axis detachments had been forced to take over. Radio Algiers said axis units were pouring into the area to push the attack against the embattled patriots who have refused to submit to Vichy’s mobilization for labor details in Germany, and Swiss .reports said many of the police had joined their rebellious countrymen. “Final appeals” have been made to the guerrillas to surrender, Swiss reports said, in order to save “useless bloodshed.” Other reports said the Germans had again warned Vichy officials that immediate measures must be taken to break resistance. The Geneva newspaper, La Suisse, said strong Vichy detachments, reinforced by police, are in the Thonon area. Some of the guerrillas fled across Lake Geneva in an effort to escape, the dispatch said, only to be turned back by Swiss: authorities.

POLIGE ELIGIBILITY AGE RAISED TO 60

Decision to boost the eligibility age for applicants to the police force from 55 to 60 was the outcome yesterday of a meeting of the police merit commission. The step is a war measure designed to open the police rolls to a greater number of draft-deferr-able men, ) Beeker said. He said the force; usually about 550 strong, is now short about 85 men. : A drive to enlist eligibles for special “duration” police duty is now under way. Lower age limit for applicants is 24. The same age brackets apply for policewomen.
