BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, May 24.-Maj.
Gen. George H. Brett, chief of the
Army Air Corps, said in a general
press conference today that the
giant new Douglas BIO bomber,
awaiting its first test flight, has
pointed the way to more successful
big bomber construction.
The BIG was a gamble to deter
mine if engineers could build a
bigger bomber than the CBoeing)
BIZ" he declared. I'VE have al
ways preached the need for larger
airplanes, and construction of the
Bio solved the problems of building
giant bombers.
What We need now is bomber
of size somewhere between the
BIT and the BIG, which can reach
$50 miles per hour, $4,000 feet alti-
tude and have range of 5000
miles"
The BIG has maximum speed OF
210 miles per hour and service
ceiling of $4,000 feet. 1t has a
range, however, of 1850 miles.
Gen. Brett had high praise for
Douglas A20A light bomber, calling
it the best plane in the world for
its mission. low altitude bombing
troop strafng and support for
ground troops" The company
claims speed approaching 400
miles an hour for the A2OA,
The country's two fastest planes,
he declared, are the Lockheed P38
he labeled it "a super ship''-and
the Bell Aircobra. The B33's speed,
he added, rs upward of 410 miles
per hour" and the Bells about 400
Germany's glider attack on Crete
came as no surprise to the Air Corps
The general explained:
I'VE have been experimenting
with gliders for troop transport for
four months, but decided that para

planes were more effective Our ex-
periments got up to a train of five
gliders."

Cameras Click, Newsmen C|anor Around Jerry af
 Journeys End in Akron

AKRON, Ohio, August 15.-Be- sieged by newspaper men and pho- tographers. sJuneau's Soap Box Der by Champ, Jerry Chapman, stepped off the train here early last evening and was enthusiastically greeted by crowd who considered his Alaskan costume of fur parka and muckluks of much greater interest than the many other features of the All-Am- erican Soap Box Derby being cele- brated in the rubber capital this weekend.
 Photographers pictured the Ju- neau boy in the cab of locomotive soon after his arrival here and posed him with the champion from Mexico City, Mexico who was dressed in full Mexican costume and speaks no English.
 On the trip from Seattle. where he found he was one-half pound over the weight limit set by Derby regu- lations, young Chapman was happy, but concerned over gaining more weight
 Wearing ms parka in weather reg istering around 80 degrees in Akron did not tend to add more weight to Jerry, said Don Skuse, Juneau Rotary member accompanying the Juneau chamD on his trip
 The Empire newsboy Chapman is happy at the end of his long journey for the final race against soap box cars from all over America, but seemed pleased to shed his heavy clothing and get into something more fitting for Akron's climate.
 Last night, with other derby driv- CTS who arrived early for Sundays finals, Jerry attended night base ball game played by the Akron Yankees.

D0MEI SAYS
 CONFERENCE

Claims Roosevelt Churchill Discussed Joint MiIi-
 fdry Action

TOKYO, Aug. 15-Joinl military action against Japan is one of the basic topics discussed by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Win stcn Churchill at their m'd-ocean conference, claimed the Japanese news agency Domei, quoting politi- cal observers as it's source.
 These same observers, said Domei, suggested that it is imperative for Japan to proceed with her estab- lished policy not to allow herself to be played into the hands of the British-sAmerican camp.
 Domei said these observers con- sider that a declaration issued by the two governments of America and Great Britain, which did not mention Japan was definitely raeant to estrange Japan from Ger many.
 It might also serve to estrange other small European nations from the Axis powers, says Domei.

Two Towns in Grain Sector Abandoned by So-

Russia's armies are apparently falling back beyond the Dnieper Piver to their next great defense inc in the Ukraine, authoritative London quarters reported today, while on the north front Soviet troops battled fiercely to check the three way German onslaught ag- ainst Leningrad.
 Soviet officials acknowledged that Marshal Budyenny's Army of the Southwest has abandoned. the Bug River town of Peromaisk. l15 miles northwest of Nil1olaev, and Bevo, 100 miles northeast of Nikolaev.
 There is no indication that Nazi columns, storming into the rich grain and iron industrial province have yet captured either Odessa, Russia's big Black Sea port, of the manufacturing city of Jikolaev.
 Italian military dispatches said Fascist troops have entered the fight on the southwestern f-ont and have made their first contact with Russians, encountering furious res iStence.

WASHINGTON-Colonel William Donovan has the inside track for Civil Defense Administrator when Mayor LaGuardia steps out of the job.
 The plan is to combine Civil De- fense with Donovan's new office as Coordinator of Intelligence Informa- ton. White House advisers consider that the two fit together and that the dynamic World War hero has thev executive ability and experience to direct both.
 Insiders expect New York's able Little Flower to quit as GOA as soon as his third term mayoralty campaign gets hot.
 Few now recall that when La Guardia took the post he said it might be only for a short time to get things started He is amply equipped to run Civil Defense and his choice was widely approved. But the plain fact is that he hasn't the time to give the job what 1t re- 
 quireS.
 It's full-time work, and then some. LaGuardia has been putting in about one day a week, and when he Is Ill Washington he works at a furious pace. But even with his enormous driving capacity the job is too vast requires hand at the helm SIX days and even some nights week.
 While Mayor of New York It IS impossible for LaGuardia to devote much time to Civil Defense. Next to the Presidency, running New York City is the biggest public post in the country, and the Little Flower, quite rightly, permits nothing to interfere with his civic duties. It is inescap- able that Civil Defense should suffer as a result.

If the so-called Democracies of the World want Germany disarmed, let them come and get our arms"
 This is the way Germany today challenged the United States and Great Britain, according to author ized Berlin quarters, following the announcement of the conference ''on the Atlantic" of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill and the setting up of an eight point policy regarding the world situation and fight for peace.
 The German newspapers scoff at the conference at the dramatic sea meeting of Roosevelt and Churchill and call the talkfest as one hun- dred per cent flop"
 The authorized Berlin spokesman sa ys: It would be undignificd even to discuss the eight poirts. We know of but one point of offensive And that is military.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. The American man-in-the-stree hasn't begun to grasp all the dislocations that are developing as the result of world at war.
 I'm going to tell you about a comparatively minor one which nevertheless will affect every com munity in the United States. It is that on Easter almost every church in the country will be barren of Easter lilies and in the time be- tween now and then weddings, fun erals and religious ceremonies which ordinarily employ this symbol Of purity as their chief decoration will have to look to some other flower.
 The United States yearly imports 27,000,000 lily bulbs almost entire ly from Japan, though some previ- ously came from Holland. This is 97 percent of the country's annual consumption. The other three per- cent is raised here, mostly in the Pacific northwest. This year, that three percent will have to do, though it may be augmented some what by bulbs which florists al- ready have on hand.
 Even before the present freez- ing of Japanese credits which shuts off the supply completely. the lily bulb business had wilted. A New York florist recently ap-

Whether the lily bulb crop in Japan is a failure this year or whether the Nipponese are too busy with their war efforts wasn't explained. Now, of course, this florist, who ordinarily handles 700 cases, will face a lot of his Easter customers without bloom.
