HORSE RACE WON
 BY DETECTIVES

Continued from Page D squad, stepped off the elevator on the fourth floor into an empty room. At the left of the floor, was par titioned room used by the Testa and DeLillo as a clearing house for customers to phone in their horse bets.
 The two men were taken con- pletely by surprise, the raiding Uf- ficers said, and had no opportunity to destroy the paraphernalia which included an adding machine, racing sheets, race forms, a portable radio used to receive race results, and an electric heater. The police confls- cated the equipment and brought it to the states attorneys office where it will be used as evidence when the pair are arraigned in court.
 What amazed the police making the raid was the perfect setup used in taking horse bets, and that only one devious entrance led to the place.
 In fact, police expressed the opin ion the raid would have proved "dud" had the door in the rear oi the building been locked and if en- trance to the elevator was also barred to them.
 Detectives Have Sport
 While County Detective Allins and Lieuts. Pakul, Moylan and Ho- bart remained in the betting room the phone continued to ring as racing patrons called to place their money on their favorite horses ol sought results of early races.
 Detective Pakul answered one call supposed to have been from a local doctor, placing 6 $l5 bet, $5-$5-$5 as the caller expressed 1t, but was advised to devote his time to the practice of medicine, and drop tht horses. The wire went dead quick. ly.
 Other instances that came ur while the raid was in progress were reported by the officer.
 One voice queried what was the result on the fifth race at Tropical park, and Detective filling replied:
 ~Pakul, first; Moylan, second, and Kody, third. When the caller angriIy disputed the accuracy of such names for the first race, he was given the real low-doWn and officers figured he might still be running.
 Racing addicts were warily watch ing developments in the city and comments on the raid made last night were heard about the city. Sport fans were unable to place their bets with their favorite local bookies as all became "cagy" as 8 result of the raid.
 Max Bloom was arrested Monday in another gambling raid in which the states attorney office has manifested an interest. A probe of a new lottery racket said to be cashing n on the prosperity of the defense workers is promised.
 Police reported Bloom carried m the lottery under the cloak of sells ing jewelry. The jewelry was purportedly bought for $49 and was to be paid on an installment basis, with $H down and $1 each week. The customer then participated, acc cording to the police, in 8 lottery based on New York Stock Ex- change weekly total sales. Bloom was arrested Monday by Detective Lieutenant Moylan and Sergeant Joseph Petit and is be- ing held under a $1,O00 bond pend- ing his arraignment in municipal court. Bloom is from New York, Lieut.. Moylan reported.

 "All the next night they sped and felt the slam of boats leaping from wave to wave, but by the next day they had reached their first objec- tive. This was the rendezvous for the airplanes which were coming to fetch them. For three days they waited for the airplanes.".
 The dispatch said the party left the meeting place Monday and ar- rived Tuesday fin tiny town of 700 persons in AuStralia'S never never land'."
 "That is the briefest kind of story of their trip" the dispatch said, but far more interesting are few items of information they brought out with them."
 The correspondent said the party reported that three-fourths of the Philippine islands remained in the hands of American and Filipino troops and that the Japanese held only the ports and coastal regions of the principal islands.
 "Most of the land fighting has been done by the Filipino scouts and the Filipino constabulaTy," the story said.
 Food is not bad" one of them was quoted, "but the worst depriva- tion is doing without fresh vege- tables and salad. There is no scurvy, although we used neither medically prepared vitamin tablets nor lime juice. Our health may have been helped by the fact that we had some canned tomatoes, beans and peas"
 The dispatch said the party, asked if the American troops in the Philippines could hold out, replied: Yes"

The ten per cent reduction in charges for gas and electricity will be effective when the next bills are issued, MT. McGrath said. T am confident hat the ten per cent re- duction will remedy the situation now in effect, which has been the cause of a great deal~ef discontent among the tenants"
 MT. McGrath agreed that it was an injustice on the occupants using small amounts of gas and electric ity to be billed jointly with those tenants whose use of the utilities result in the higher costs.
 Information On the possibility of setting standard rate for housing, light and gas will be passed on to the tenants as soon as further word is received from Washington, MT. McGrath said.

 Canberra, Australia, March 19- (UP)-A Japanese invasion force is marching through New Guinea toward port Moresby, only $50 miles from Australia, in what threatened to be the first move toward a di- rect attack on this continent and the Allied forces under Gen. Doug las Macarthur, it was revealed to- day.
 Prime Minister John Curtin ar1- nounced that Japanese planes had raided Port Moresby this morning as the enemy forces advanced.
 (The Australian radio heard by CBS in New York reported that Jap anese planes also raided Darwin, the north coast Allied base.
 (The Australian radio also re- ported that the Japanese had landed fresh invasion forces at Salamaua, on the Huon gulf of New Guinea, and quoted Curtin as saying that Japanese heavy bombers attacked Port Moresby for 30 minutes, fly ing in three waves and striking at harbor installations and shipping but met heavy fire and apparently did no damage and caused no cas- ualties.)

Barricades Before Australia May Decide
Ccontinuee from Page D

A Port Moresby dispatch said the Japanese, in considerable numbers, were marching through the arc of the Markham Valley, from the Lac area of the Huon Gulf toward the Gulf of Papua on the Port Moresby side of the Island.
 They were driving across a 110- mile stretch of land, one of the few passable routes in New Guinea, and if they continued they would reach the coast at point some 100 miles north of Port Moresby, always regarded vital Japanese objective because it is 8 logical base from which to attempt an invasion of Australia.
 Making Progress
 It was indicated that the Jap anese have made considerable pro- gress. The Port Moresby dispatch said it was assumed they would soon be in contact with the Australian forces in the island.
 As the Japanese advanced, United States and Australian war planes, striking t Japanese invasion bases over 2,000 mile front, hit Jap- anese heavy cruiser and damaged two other big ships in the Bismarck Islands northeast of the Huon Gulf and raided Koepang, in Dutch Timor, for the second time in 24 hours, Prime Minister John Curtin announced.
 The Allied war planes, believed to include flying fortresses, flew more than 750 miles from a secret base in northern Australia to blast the enemy invasion fleet of Rabaul, in New Britain Island in the Bis marck group northeaSt of Australia.
 In addition to hitting the cruiser and two other ships, they scored near misses, certain to have done heavy damages, On at least two and probably four other large ships.
 A direct bomb hit was scored on the stern of the Japanese cruiser, apparently one of 10000 tons, and the plane crews saw a column of smoke rising from it as they left.
 In, this daylight raid,s direct challenge to the big Japanese air force stationed at Rabaul, the Allied planes reconnoitered widely over the Bismarck Islands, Curtin an- nounced.
 Invaders Smashed
 A second fleet of Allied planes, operating from the northwest, heavily raided the Japanese inva- sion base at Koepang, capital of Dutch Timor $50 miles west-north- west of the continent.
 Centering their attack on the air. drome, they scored smashing hits on the runwayS and hangars and other buildings and saw fires burn ing at IS miles distance on their return.
 But one Allied plane was lost in these operations in which the United Nations air force struck at two of the most dangerous Japanese inva- sion zones in the Australian defense area.
 It is from the New Guinea Bis marck Island zone and Timor that the Japanese are expected at any time to launch an attempt to in- wade northeastern Australia and to seize Darwin, the great Australian northwest coast base.
 Japanese planes raided the Cape York area, off the northeast tip of Australia, reconnoitering over the cape and attacking shipping in the island-dotted Torres Strait, but they did no damage and it was indicated that Allied fighter planes drove them off.
