was strengthened as the result of the repulsing of last nights Japan csc air attack on this Chinese capis tai by American fighter planes.
 The attack was called "an unpre- cendented disgrace" for the Jap anese.
 For four years the Japanese have bombed Chungking at will but yes- terday, in their first attempt to reach the capital this year, they met the new United States air force of China and were repulsed. Of 50 Japanese planes that took off from Hankow, only four reached Chung kings outskirts and no bombs fell on the city proper.
 The raid was far cry from those of previous years when the un- opposed Japanese tried to demor- alize the Chinese capital with in- tense bombings. They killed thous- ands of Chinese, destroyed Chung kings Fifth avenue" blasted churches and missions.
 Last night the people again calm ly trudged to their dugout shelters where hundreds of their neiglIborB had been trapped in bombings of the past. They expected another siege of death and destruction. They emerged three hours later smiling.

 Military circles, discussing the seizure of the Siwa. oasis, west of the southern end of the Quattara depression, by Italian forces three days ago, attached little significance to the loss. They said the Italians were not opposed as Imperial forces had been withdrawn from the oasis some time ago.
 Battle Continued
 The battle on this northern, coastal end of the Fl Alamein line continued.
 Guns of both sides thundered in constant dueling as tanks, armored cars and infantrymen battled.
 British fighter -bombers and light bombers, supporting the ground forces, heavily attacked enemy posi- tions in the northern zone of the battle area, the communique of the Middle Eastern command and the Royal Air Force said.
 Fighter planes, intercepting a for nation of German Stuka dive bomber planes, shot down three, &C., cording to the communique, and night fighters shot down two Ger man Heinkel-111 planes which at- tempted to raid the Suez Canal zone.
 Medium bombers last night at- tackled targets at Tobruk, enemy base on the Libyan coast, and the air field at Fl Daba, on the Egyptian coast IS miles west of the Alamein line, the communique said.
 British fighter planes shot 6oWn 12 and damaged others of fleet of Axis planes which attacked Malta, it was announced and some of the planes were downed before they dropped their bombs.
 Though the communique made no claim of gains in the new British attack on the line west of Fl Ala mein, 1t was indicated that the Im- perial troops had improved their positions in this latest limited of fensive."

NCOLCI1uSQ 1TOI1 rage 1.D clashed with enemy forces at the native village of Oivi, only five miles from Kokoda in mid-New @....lea. =
 Kokoda, plateau at the east ern base of the formidable Owen Stanley mountain range which forms the backbone of that Papuan end of New Guinea, Is 55 miles from Port Moresby.
 In one day, since the first clash between the Allied jungle patrols and the Japanese from the New Buna- Coma base on the north coast, the enemy forces had advanced about 30 miles.
 Anxiety over the new enemy &C., tivity increased throughout Aus tralia.
 Though no immediate threat was foreseen to Port Moresby, the Jap anese had again seized the initiative in ground fighting and they had suddenly intensified their aerial ac- tivities.
 Darwin, the big allied north Aus tralian coast base, was raided twice last night by small enemy plane forces, and single flying boat jet tisoried its bombs, under intensive anti aircraft gun fire, outside Towns on the north Australian coast, which had its first raid Saturday night.
 New Hard Blow
 Gen, MacArthur's planes struck new hard blow at the enemy's Buna -Gona base when dive bomb- CTS, first put into action last week, blew up an ammunition dump, while other planes made two strong night raids on the Japanese base in the Koepang area of Timor island, In the northwestern Australian zone, and started fires with direct hits on airdrome buildings, barracks and oth- CT installations.
 The Japanese raids on Darwin and Townsville were of nuisance character. At Darwin, formations of from three to five planes made two night raids without causing damage or casualties. At Townsville, when searchlights caught the lone enemy flying boat which tried to raid. and the anti-aircraft guns opened heavy fire, the enemy crew quickly dumped their bombs in open ground and fled.
 Tn their advance from their new Buno- -Gona base in New Guinea, the Japanese so far had had the ad- vantage of easy terrain on which they could use bicycles. :.
 But beyond Kokoda they laced the Owen Stanley mountains which separate them from the Port Mores- by side and they will meet increas- ing forces of specially trained Allied jungle patrols operating now all the way to the Japanese-occupied north coast.
 Japanese Retreat
 Chungking, July 28.-(UP)-Jap- anese forces are retreating before a strong Chinese drive near Kiang- shan in western Chekiang province, Chinese high command com- munique said tonight. In the Tahung mountains of northern Hupeh province, the com Imunique said, the Chinese are hold- ing off more than 5000 Japanese troops, including cavalry, attempting to force mountain passes. The new Chinese successes were reported as new China's confidence in the United States army air force

It was one of the frequent practice alerts to keep the Americans on their toes and familiarize them with the alarm, and we sheepishly re- sumed the trip around the base.
 The RAF commander said he could tell how a man would fly a ship the moment he stepped into one "and the American boys know how to step"

evil which the Government itself
has condemned.
3. Raw film has been classified
by WPB as a critical material, and
the supply available to the motion
picture industry has been drastically
reduced. No part of the reduced
and dwindling supply should be de-
voted to the production of an I'M
necessary and unwanted newsreel.
4. The argument that Warner
Bros. is free to do as it pleases so
long as it stays within its allotment
of film is without validity, because
1t assumes that that. company. is
free to waste and squander the
critical materials allotted to it.
This is wholly at odds with the
precautions taken by the Govern
ment with respect to other critical
materials; for example, the care
taken that motorists do not waste
their allotments of gasoline by use
less driving.
5. The publicity relating to the
proposed Warner newsreel indirect
ly but effectively creates the i'm
preston not only that the reel has
been specifically approved by the
Government, but that it Is in sub
stance a Government sponsored
project, and it is quite apparent
that an appeal will be made to the
exhibitors on patriotic grounds. to
run the reel Notwithstanding it is in
truth and in fact purely a CONNER
cial enterprise. 3

Novelties Presented
BY Bauer Orchestra
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The Agriculture Department Or
chestra presented another of its in
teresting programs last night in the
Department Auditorium, under the
leadership of DR.. Walter Bauer. In
spite OF many changes in personnel
and the difficulties which wartime
offers in the way of keeping a group
together Of this caliber and finding
time for rehearsals, the orchestra
continues to maintain the standards
which its conductor has set for it.
Last nights program not only fea-
tured American composers, but pre-
sented three novelties, the music of
which is still in manuscript. The
orchestra has made known several
times composers who would other
wise not have opportunities to have
their works played here and the re-
suits In each case have confirmed
the conviction that ideas of value
and good craftsmanship are the
rule with the musical writer's of this
country.
There was, for example. the
charming little number we'll named
"Trif1e" from John Vincent's Suite
for Orchestra" and an overture.
Sailor, Sail Your Luck" by Sigurd
Erhard Frederiksen, two Of whose
works have been played at former
concerts by the Agriculture group.
If these two selections could not be
acclaimed as something extraordi-
nary, they are worthwhile compost
tons Of definite, type, showing the
serious muSicianship of the authors
and the character. of their talent.
They are well conceived in a light
vein, yet show facility in the treat
ment Of the orchestra coloring.
Mr.. Frederiksen has been q mem
Der Of several prominent orchestras
for some time and Mr.. Vincent is
president of the Southern Music
Educators Association.
Two of the older American COM
posers were also represented, Arthur
Foote by his Might Piece" and Ed
gar Stillman-Kelley by the finale OF
his New England Symphony" the
clear. cool voice Of the flute around
which Might Piece" is written
creates the atmosphere at once and
with only the string sections for
support the effect Is as mysterious
and evanescent as the title calls for.
From the finale of Mr.. Stillman-
Kelley's symphony, one wonders why
work of this type Is never heard
In its entirety. It has strength ana
descriptive power and the remainder
OF 1t should be as interesting rs was
this movement.
The gay waltzes from Strauss
Der Rosenkavalier" were also pro-
grammed and at the close was heard
Johan SEVERN Svendsens Sym
phony in D Major" which was given
its American premiere by the Agri-
culture Orchestra some three years
ago. ~
The playing Of the group has at
tanned greater polish and In the
American works especially gave an
excellent account of itself. There Is
more solidity in the orchestral tone
than formerly and the quality Of the
violin section Is inner. Althoukh the
audience was small, the reception
given the players and conductors
was warm. i.
