 armies of Lieut.. Gen. Joseph w. Stillwell'S forces. The monsoons came so suddenly and so furiously that they sWelled the Burmese riv- CTS and washed away bridges over- night. They cut of the retreat of some refugees and thus they must be creating havoc for a Japanese occupation army that is trying to build for forthcoming invasion.
 These great rains know no favor ties, they are playing into the hands of the allies to the extent that they rule out any offensive action by Japanese land forces until the monsoon season ends around the latter part of next month. Mea- while India has more time to strengthen her defenses. (Prime Minister Winston Churchill said Thursday that the defenses of In- dia and Ceylon are stronger than ever before.)
 The monSoonS also are giving In- dia time to settle internal troubles. It is believed generally that Mohan- das K. Gandhi's impending move ment to force the British out of India will take comparatively mild form, designed especially to prevent any interference with the allied war effort.
 Meanwhile the former premier of Madras, c. Rajagopalachari, busily shuttled back and forth between the Moslem League led by M. A. Jinnah and Gandhi's All-Tndia (Hindu Congress, attempting to find a solution of the differences that keep them apart.
 He has been in conference fre- quently with Gandhi and Jinnah in recent weeks and has completed a nationwide speaking tour. No one knows his present strength but some observers believe that if Gandhis new program, probably to be released within few days, does not take firm stand, Rajagopaula- chari may be able to split the All- India Congress and take a large section of it into a war time alli- ance with the Moslem League.
 In that way he might gain the end he seeks-a Hindu-Moslem agreement to declare a moratorium on their factional fight until Brit ain has been forced to grant inde- pendence to India.

AMERICAN ARMY
 BOMBERS IN CHINA
Continued from Page 1.)

At the same time, the newly re- organized United States fighter command staged the biggest Allied aerial operations of the flve-year- old Sino-JapaneSe war. The American fighters, including the former AVG Flying Tigers, shot down five Japanese planes over Hengyang in Human province and joined Chinese fighters in driving off Japanese raiders from Kweilin, capital of south China's Kwangsl province.
 Chinese quarters viewed the at tempted Japanese raids as an en- emy effort to prevent the American air force from using the Hengyang and Kweilin airfields. Dispatches said the Americans turned back one attack on Hengyang, hurriedly re- fueled and rearmed and took off again to intercept another large formation of Japanese bombers and fighter planes. The official Central news agency said American and Chinese flyers intercepted flight of enemy bomb CTS from Canton headed for Kwei- lin, attacked from above and sent the raiders homeward. Two enemy reconnaissance flights were report ed over Kwangsi province. President Pledges Aid
 Washington, July 6. - (UP) = President Roosevelt today pledged the United Nations to fight on to victory with China "to the estab- lishment of peace and justice and freedom throughout the world"
 The pledge was made in mes- sage to Chinese Generalissimo Chi ang Kai-Sheh on the fifth anniver- sary of the battle of Marco Polo bridge near Peiping = the incident that set of the current Sino-Japa- nese war.
 The message made no mention of specific aid for China. At a recent meeting with President Roosevelt, Chinese Foreign Minister T. V. Soong requested more air strength for his country.
 The text of the presidents mes sage to Chiang Kai-Shek:
 Tn the name of the people of the United States, your fighting allies in this war for freedom, I greet you on this anniversary of the most despicable attack on you in all your long and noble history.
 "The people of the United States hail you as brothers-in-arms in the great and difficult tasks remaining before the free and freedom-loving peoples of all the earth.
 We are united as nations and peoples have never before been united. We are united to the end that the common aims of civilized men and women shall become &C., tual and universal.
 Five years ago, at the Marco Polo bridge, you started your fight against the forces of darkness which were hurled against your country and your civilization.
 You know, and all the world knows, how well you have carried on that fight, which is the fight of all mankind.
 Increasingly, your arms and our arms will thrust back the enemy.
 You, the people of the United States and the United Nations, will fight on together to victory, to the establishment of peace and justice and freedom throughout the world"

 He said as he turned away he heard someone shout, There's someone under the bus"
 When Macy turned back the bus had stopped and he assisted Law son and severals in removing Su- mauskas from under the bus to an- other bus and taking him to Water bury hospital.
 The accident occurred at about II o'clock and Sumaskas died just before midnight Saturday. An im- mediate investigation was started by Inspector Stevens, County Detec- tive Roland G. filling and Detective Lieut.. John Calvin.
 First reports were that Sumauskas had been found on the circus lot by a circus employe and immediately the theory of foul play was ad- vanced. It was reported that he had been put out of a circus tent earlier in the day.
 Dr. Edward H. Kirschhaum, me- dical examiner said the man died of internal injuries and 8 crushed chest.
 A former employe of the circus, Sumauskas had been employed for the past year at the Laskas Riding stables on Oxford road in Middle bury. He worked with the circus about 10 years as an animal attend- ant It was reported he worked at one time with Tim McCoy's rodeo show.
 Lawson left the city right after the accident and was not available for questioning at the start of the coroner's inquest. Providence police notified Desk Lieut.. John Dunphy today that they were informed by an official of the circus that Lawson would return to Waterbury early today for questioning.
 The body of the deceased man was removed to the Mazeika Flu neral Home, 10 Porter street. Arr were being made for a private funeral.

 Sergt. Juniak Bryning, g, of Po- catello. Idaho, planned to become an aircraft mechanic when he en- listed. But he managed to qualify as a dive-bomber gunner when the war started. Bryning has seen little action since his plane destroyed a Japanese transport during the tr1- vasion of Java.
 T understand the latest dive bombers are hot stuff" he said. I'm now looking forward to a little ex- citement again = getting pretty tired of sitting around"
 Another gunner, Corp. Donald Welch, B, of Berlin, N. H., said he, too, was ready for action. Welch earned furlough after his bomber was forced down at sea after raid- ingfl Lac several weeks ago.
 "Our bomber was forced to land in pitch darkness" he said. The pilot and co-pilot got out through the escape hatch and the rest of the crew scrambled through win- dows and managed to cling to . raft.
 we all hung on to the raft and reached shore after about an hour. The next day native canoes took us to a missionary station from where we sailed on a trading boat to safety. The natives didn't know whether or not we were Japs until we told them."

 percentage" of ships sunk to date have benefited from Red Cross aid.
 Davis also disclosed that a recent agreement with the Oflce of Civilian Defense and the Federal Security Agency gave the Red Cross respon- sibility for emergency relief" in event of an attack upon an Amer ican city. Such relief would include food, clothing, shelter and emer- gency medical attention" during the period immediately following the at tack, with the FSA defense health and welfare service handling long term rehabilitation.
 The Red Cross has instituted a program to train 100000 nursess aides to prepare for possible air attack upon U. s. cities, Davis said Although they are not fully-quau- fled nurses, many of them have been taken into civilian hospitals facing shortages of nurses. He said that program is costing the Red Cross $1,000,O00 year.
 Davis, who was special ambassa- dor for President Roosevelt prior to his appointment as Red Cross chari- man in April, 1889, reported favor ably on efforts by the International Red Cross to maintain the Genevs Treaty setting standards for treat ment of war prisoners. Although Japan did not ratify the treaty, he said that "thus far the Japanese have been very cooperative"
 A delegate from the international office reported that conditions are Satisfactory so far" in the Japanese prison camps, but no definite word has yet been received on the fate of Americans captured in the Philippines. Davis said, however, that it is understood the Philippine Red Cross still is functioning.
 Davis said, some 5O0,O0O persons have donated blood for 46O 1000 pints of plasma to the Red Cross cam paign, and that "thus far we are ahead of quotas requested by the Army and Navy"
 Another contribution by the agency to the war effort has been the recruiting of 12,00O nurses for the Army and 1000 for the Navy. Nearly 10000 more are available at q moments notice, Davis said. Many medical technicians enrolled and trained by the Red Cross also are serving with the Army.
 Asked to comment on Red Cross plans for rehabilitation after the war, Davis replied:
 We're too busy providing service to a world at war to bother much about that right now, but whet.."er we have to do, well do it. And y1sie all too well aware that there will be a tremendous job 10 be done aft the war"

 It will be commanded by a French general from the reserve forces but his name has not been announced.

 Many commissioned and non-com- missioned officers weeded out of the regular army at the time of its arm istice contraction, will be given posts in the new force. Additionally the tricolor legion offers slightly high CT wages to volunteers than does the armistice army and thus was actively bidding against the regular force for men.
 Cine armistice army was to be composed soley of long-ter volun- feerS. Conscripts were to be re- leased as soon as enlistments gwelled the army to its maximum strength. However, many conscripts remain in the force indicating that 100000 volunteers had not been found.)
