VICTORY In
BURMA WON
by CHINESE
EneirtIed British Troops al
Yenang Yaung Saved
in Successful Drive

CHUNGKING, April 21.-Chinese
forces have recaptured the vital oil
center of Yenang Yaung and have
saved 1000 encircled British troops
and 100 supply trucks in the first
Allied victoIy in 1.-THE battle of
Burma.
An Army spokesman said that
after rescuing the British troops, the
Chinese fought with their allies
under British command and drove
three miles south Of Yenang Yaung
through the rubble of the oil wells
to which the encircled British had
touched the torch last week in an
effort to prevent their falling into
Jap hands if they should be vic
torious.
Severe fighting with the japanese
is still in progress, the communicate
said. The Chinese Commander,
United States Lieut.-Gen. Joseph
w. Stilwell, moved the British sec
ton at the request of the Allied
High Command.
The communique added that one
Chinese Battalion commander was
killed in leading his troops to re-
capture Yenang Yaung.
The fury of the fighting in Burma
continued unabated throughout last
week, but fiercer battles are expect
ed, said the dispatches. The spokes-
man said that the morale of the
Chinese, who have fought in Burma
for the last month with a glaring
air of inferiority, is now very high.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
and ROBERT S. ALLEN

WASHINGTON-O of the prin-
cipal subjects discussed by Harry
Hopkins and Gen. Marshall in Lon
don was Russian involvement in the
war in the Pacific. Allied chiefs
are convinced that the question no
longer is whether Russia and Japan
will fight, but when.
The answer to this question is
of greatest moment to both sides.
Russian participation in the Pa
cific would mean many vital STRAIT
egic advantages to the United
States. The spectacular U. S. bomb
ing raid from Australia to Manila
could be duplicated on Tokyo if
U. S. planes could use Vladivostok
as a landing base.
For Hitler, Jap attack on the
Russian rear would offer the hope
of easing Russian pressure on the
western front, where Nazi plans for
a spring offensive have been SER
iously disrupted. For the Japs,
striking while the Red Army is
straining every nerve to overcome
the Nazis would offer the posi-
bility of Gripping the Russians be-
fore they are in position to throw
their full weight against the Japs
Allied strategists believe that Jap
warlords now are weighing the
