Aiming to cripple the huge pcrN
Of Canton as a source Of military
supplies for the armies Of Gen.
erahSsimo Chang Kai-Shek, the
Nipponese forces crossed the Tai
kong River following their capture
Of the town of Tamshui, near Bias

AS the fighting progressed, all
communications between Hong
Kong and Canton were inter.
rupted.
At the same time, ten Japanese
transports escorted by four war
ships left Swatow for Bias Bay,
carrying new reinforcementS for
the 10000 Japanese troops which
already are carrying out the new
Nipponese offensive.
1t was reported that q total of
40 to so vessels are converging on

forces, indicating that the jap

following the first major blackout
in history staged here last night.
Gen. Fulton Gardner, defense
commander, and Gen. William
Dryden, director Of the exercises,
declared they were gratified with
the results of the blackout which
darkened an area Of about one
fourth of the State.
AUTOS FAIL TO AID
The only flaw developed in the
system was that motorists did not
cooperate and, as a result, the
enemy planes were able to spot
the main highways and the cities.
Only in Fayetteville, a communi-
i ty Of $4,000 persons about 10 miles
from here, was the blackout car
ried out 100 per cent. There po-
lice, Boy Scouts and members OF
the American Legion, halted all
cars along the streets and forced
them to turn out their lights until
the blackout period was ended.
Even buses were halted, and on
the main highway to the South
scores Of tourists were forced to
stop and put out their lights for
three-quarters Of an hour. The
War Department granted special
permission to the newspaper men
covering the maneuvers to fly in
the huge flying fortress planes dur
ing the attack last night, the first
time that civilians have been al
lowed in the planes, the strongest
military planes in the world. The
flight was commanded by Col. Rob-
ert Olds, noted flier, and this
correspondent was assigned to
B-51, lead ship in the second flight.
The big planes landed at Pope
Field, the Fort Bragg flying field,
late yesterday afternoon, and it
was just about sunset when we
took off. Major v. j. Meloy and
Capt. F. j. Louer, pilot and CO
pilot of our plane, gave us para
chutes and assigned us to q post
in the machine-gun blister.
LIGHTS BLINK OUT
The flying field had just been
blacked out by darkness as we took
off, the 1000 horsepower Of the
engines racing us down the field
at better than 80 miles an hour
before we went into the air.
The huge ship went into a steep
climb, and kept its nose pointed
upward until we reached 12,700
feet, when Major Meloy leveled
her off and put the robot pilot to
work. At the speed we were flying
we passed outside the warning net
zone. then came back in, and our

appearance was signal for the
blackout to start.
One minute we could see the
lights in towns. The next there
was almost complete darkness. AS
we watched we could see the lights
go off in town after town as the
signal for the blackout was re-
ceived.
Flying for a long period at more
than $4,000 feet, it was necessary
to use oxygen as the air was thin,
and it was bitterly cold. The
huge plane sped through the air
at better than 200 miles an hour
flying by dead reckoning to reach
the objective, the air base at this
post. Fort Bragg was in absolute
darkness. Not a suspicion of a

Therefore, it is claimed by
Berlin, Germany needs a greater
air force than Britain and this
necessary superiority" should
not be regarded as a potential
menace to Britain.
The German suggestion was put
forward in view of these circum
stances and as a means whereby
Britain could reciprocate for the
great concession" made to Brit
ain in the naval field, in which
Germany agreed to reStriet hel
navy to 35 per cent Of the British
fleet.
In making the request, it was
learned, Hitler pointed out that he
agreed to the naval restriction de

could easily build a navy 70 pei

It was learned that one of the

that Hitler planned to advise
Czechoslovakia in strong terms to
surrender sufficient territory to
Hungary to liquidate the deadlock.
At the same time, Hitler was
expected to make it clear that he
expects the Hungarians to make
concessions regarding their own
claims, which include BratiSlava.
If this is done, according to au-

Integrity Guarantee

If Britain should agree to the
suggestion, it was stated. Hitlel
would be prepared to guarantee
the territorial integrity Of the
British empire and of France.
The German argument for aerial
superiority over Britain, as put
forward to London, in effect, is as
follows:
Germany is far more vulner-
able to aerial attack than Eng.
land because of her geographical
position and the fact that the
Reich is encircled by countries
from which air attacks could
quickly be launched at the heart

will act in behalf Of the four pow
ers which signed the Munich
agreement.
Hungary, after quitting the Ko-
marom negotiations with Czecho-
slovakia on the territorial issue,
already has asked the Munich sig
natories to act in the dispute.
The Hitler Chvalkovsky meet
ing is expected to exhaust all re-
manning questions regarding future
Czech German relations, including
substitution Of a German guar
antee for the Czech-Soviet pact,
which the Reich has insisted
that Prague abandon.
This, in turn, is expected to lead
to eventual attachment Of the
Czech government to the triangu-
lar anti-C Communist alliance and
to close Czech German political,
economic and military co-opera-
ton.
WANTS EASY ACCESS
It was considered possible that
Hitler may demand, in return for
0 German guarantee Of Czech in
tegrity, a promise that Germans
remaining in the Czech state will
receive full rights and privileges,
such as language rights, local self
rule, Nazi education and similar
measures.
Hitler is also expected to insist
that Germans in CZechoslovakia
have easy access to Germany. In
return he will probably grant SINH

territory annexed to Germany.
