Airmen Destroy 40
Planes In Thailand
Invasion of Australia Delayed
Russian Front Appears
Unchanged

The japanese plan to invade
Australia appears to have been
changed or delayed with the ar
rival of Macarthur and other re-
Inducements and supplies and for
the first time they admitted, this
week, through their spokesman
for the navy, that for the time
being they were on the defensive
rather than the offensive. Their
general position, however, remains
about the same.
Forgetting Australia for the
moment the japanese forces have
been concentrating on Burma and
the Philippines this week. They
dropped down messages asking
the forces of the Philippines to
surrender. But this was answered
by the Observation-Disclosures forces
meeting successfully every attack.
Air action in Burma was heavy.
There was for the third consecu-
tive day damage to Allied air
bases wrought by a japanese
aerial offensive of rising power,
but on the other side of the pic
ture the invader was taking enor-
nous punishment.
In one of two simultaneous at
tacks by A m er ic n volunteer
ground flyers. on enemy bases in
Thailand, seven to 10 japanese
planes were smashed at Chieng-
mai and many were damaged
from among more than 40 enemy
craft which were caught aground.
Seven fires were left on the air.

Hot Fight Seen
For Senate Seat
Fountain Opposing Bailey For
Democratic Nomination.
COP Contest

Despite the war and its damp
ening effect upon politics, there
will be a few hot political races
this spring in the statewide pri-
maries for both Democratic and
Republican nominations but only
two Of these races will effect
voters in this county and district.
These races are for the nomi-
nations for the United States SEN
ate seat now held by Senator
Bailey.
Bailey is being opposed for the
Democratic nomination by Rich
ard T. Fountain, of Rocky Mount.
The Republican candidates are
Stoner w. Klutz, of Salisbury and
Sam J. Morris, of Raleigh.
The four positions on the state
supreme court and the 10 superior
court judgeships are not being
contested.
Congressman Doughton is I'M
opposed for the Democratic nomi-
nation for congress from the
nineth district, but he is opposed
in the general election by A. L.
Kephart, of Blowing Rock and
Greensboro who was nominated
at the district convention held at
Lenoir last week. At that time,

tary and Upton Blevins was ap-
proved as a member of the state

Men IS To 81
Must Register
On April 9th

WASHINGTON. The govern
ment has ordered the oldest group
of men under the selective serv-
ice law-45 to 81 inclusive-to
register on April q for, possible
noncombatant service in the fu-
ture.
The new registration date pro-
claimed by President Roosevelt
will leave only one group not yet
recorded, those of 18 and 10 years.
Estimates of the total registration
for the 1864 age group range a.
round 100000.
While none of these compare
tive oldsters will be taken into
the fighting forces, there is the
possibility that some or many of
them will be assigned eventually
to essential war work. Brigadier
General Lewis B. Hershey has
said that one purpose of the draft
law was an accurate and syste-
matte appraisaI' of the supply of
man power.
The first draft registration since
the World War was held on Octo-
Der 16, 1910, when about 1900
600 men from 81 to 35, inclusive,
registered. The second registra-
ton, of those who had become
Fl since the first draft, was held
last July and totaled about $780,
900.

Will Not Hold
Red Cross Roll
Call This year
Needs Help Now In War Re-
lief. Ashe Still $3.50.
Short

For the first time in 26 years
the American Red Cross will not
hold an annual roll call this year,
Mrs Cstherine Stewart field rep
resentative said here yesterday
and urged everyone to give to the
war relief drive now on.
''Due to the fact that indivi-
duals are not to be called upon
for a membership this year, ]
believe that they will give more
to the war relief drive now on, .
she said.
There will possibly be another
war relief drive on next year, il
was explained.
Ashe county is one of the few
counties which has not raised its
war relief quota, and this is being
needed more and more as the war
is effecting more people now than
ever before.
Within a short time this drive
will be closed and those who have
not made a contribution are asked
to do so as soon as possible. Sub
scriptions may be sent to L. P
Coward, Jefferson, chairman Of
the Ashe county chapter.
Realizing the need brought on
by the spread of the war I feel
that Ashe county people can and
will raise their quota, which is
still $3.50 Short" chairman Col
ward said.
