Washington Twins
Enroll Together as
Navy Aviation Cadets
Brothers Express Hope
For Eor|y Action When
They Win Their Wings

Declaring they want to make
double trouble" for the Axis, Joseph
w. and Robert H. Strong. WASH
ington twins, have enrolled in the
Nays new aviation cadet program.
They are the first twins to be signed
up in Glass VS. since it was re-
vised this week to enable high school
graduates to qualify.
1--WE don't want to sit behind a
desk" the brothers told 1t. Comdr.
Myron A. Hofer of the Naval Avia-
ton Cadet Selection Board in the
District as they were sworn in.
Ask for Early Action.
1--WE want to get into action and
help our country whip the Axis. The
sooner we shove Off the better
we'll like it. We hope we can be
assigned to the same aircraft carrier
if and when we win our Navy wings"
Since it is the Navy's policy to
send brothers or relatives to duty
In the same ship or station when
they desire, 1t was believed likely
that they can be sent OF together.
Glass VS. enables high school
graduates to qualify as ensigns in
the United States Naval Reserve
or second lieutenants in the United
States Marine Corps Reserve.
Separated Only Once.
The twins. who are 20, are sons
of James Edgar Strong of Rock
Hall, Nd, employe of the Maryland
State Roads Commission, and Mrs.
Strong. They starred in baseball,
track and soccer at Rock Hall High
School, where they did things to-
gether. When they left high school
they worked together.
Bob and Joe have been separ-
ated only once. Bob went to work
in Baltimore about three years ago,
and Joe came to Washington and
entered the ONCE of a real estate
firm. In less than six months how
ever, Bob joined his brother where
they now reside at 1927 Eighteenth

there was nothing definite from

implication.

The huge cut in the bill to pro-

the House in report by Chairman
Cannon of the Appropriations Com
mittee. Representative Cannon ex-
planned later that the budget rec
concentrations for housing were

Japanese Open Offensive
In South Honan Province
By tho Associated Press

By tho Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, April 30. - The
japanese Army has launched a Wig
orous offensive in Southern Honan
Province. thrusting several columns
west and northwest from Sinyang,
important railway town $50 miles
north of Hankow, a Chinese military
spokesman said today.
The operation was begun April "a,
with some 10000 men in the attack
ing units, according to Chinese ac-
counts, but heavy Japanese REIN
forcements we're thrown into action
after the first drives had been halted
by stubborn Chinese resistance.
The spokesman said it was be-
lieved the drive was intended to re-
move q potential Chinese threat to
Japan's base at Sinyang. He re-
called that the Japanese had made
several other attacks from Sinyang
in the past two years without ex-
tending their gains.
However, a drive through South
ern Honan might develop into a
thrust at Chungking, Chang Kai-
shek's capital, $50 airline miles
southwest of Sinyang. Such an at
tack might go through Southern
Shensi into Szechwan.
The Toxic radio broadcast today a
Domei dispatch from "a certain
Japanese base" reporting that jap
anese bomber formations heavily
bombed Sian. capital of Shensi, and
two airdromes northeast and north
west of that city Tuesday. Several
tons of bombs we're dropped, the
dispatch said, and severe damage
was done.
1t added that Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek was known to have
been in the Sian area on an inspec-
ton tour about that time and may
have been there during the raid.
