The result is a tightening up

Dry Proposal Makes
Lee Most Disliked
Man in Congress

WASiiiIN1iO Wv
W Most painful vote of the
year for senators came on the
Lee proposal to dry up army
camp areas. although the yipes
we're confined TO the cloakroom.
1t made the author, Senator
Lee of. Oklahoma, the most UNI
popular man in Congress.
With the election in which
they must face the voters only
next week. here was Senator
Lee (whose own election situa-
ton at home was reported more
favorable than theirs) requiring
them to vote on proposition
which the dry voters wanted
and their administration did not
want.
AS uncomfortable as any was
the administration leader, Alben
Barley of Kentucky. He was
an old-time dry, and in 10 1917
proposed the House bill which
brought the first prohibition, a
bill prohibiting the use OF food
stuffs for the manufacture OF
liquor in wartime.
War Secretary Stimson's OPP
position TO the amendment. and
perhaps some other pressure on
Barley that was not so obvious,
made him take another stand
this time. He could not do
otherwise. as he was the leader.
It was he who figured out the
Undertaking device, by which
the whole matter was thrust
back into the Senate military
affairs committee.
WHAT is known as the lib
w eral element is now going
after the war department news
bureau for not having told US
and, incidentally, also the Japs
that one Of the Doolittfe
bombers was lost in the Toxic
raio last April.
This group has long cast
longing eye at the war. as we'll
as the navy. news sections. as
the only two remaining outside
Elmer Davis Owl fold.
Other matters being brought
UP against the war news de-
partment are that il publicly
indicated Fords bomber pro-
duction was under way long be-
fore the assembly line was actu-
ally turning out any appreciable
number of planes, and that il
got involved in a financial mess
in a prizefight.
The fact is the department
publicity was technically accu-
rate. but deceptive in what il
failed 10 tell about the bomber
lost and the Ford production.
IF THERE are two subjects
Il which can be considered
valid military secrets, il is the
subjects of losses and plane pro-
duction. II the American public
was ill-informed. so was Hitler.
and the results Of that action
will do the public more good
than il the announcements were
candidly made.
As for the Louis-Conn fight.
II was not military secret and
Hoes not matter
The only reason the subjects
are being mentioned is 10 put
civilian authority over war and
navy. No one contends the
the OWL would have handled
the matter any differently.
THE Davis experiment in CEN
Il tralized control of govern
ment news land officials views
as welD has developed into

istration.
The only way 10 describe il is
that il follows the line Of the
personality Of one man, Mr..
Davis - fairness. level-headed-
ness, but Unexpectedly strong
power. Out of IL you get
straighter news, but l think,
less news.
An example was the strangely
objective and detailed analysis
OF American plane efficiency,

In a decision which the JUS

today that evidence obtained by

Pointing to the japanese attack

New Jap Thrusts ImperI
Position, British Assert

LONDON. April 27 tP).-Two new
Japanese thrusts have further i'm
periled the United Nations position
In Burma, British sources reported
today.
One was a thrust from Loilem, on
the eastern flank of the line, toward
the Mandalay-Lashio road. One
British source regarded that devel-
opment as threat not only to the
Mandalay-Lashio highway, but to
the sities themselves.
The other was an infiltration to
the west. aimed evidently at iso-
lating Allied forces in the area of
Pyawbwe, about IS miles south of
Mandalay.
The new drive from Loilem was
along the road westward through
Taunggyi and Thai. Thus, were
the Japanese to reach Thai they
would have worked behind the Brit
ish at Pyawbwe and reached the
railroad leading 80 miles to Manda-
lay.
British sources said there was
only sketchy information on the
exact position of the Allied line after
five days Of confused fighting. IL
stretched roughly, however, from the
Irrawaddy River north of Sale east
ward to a point just north of
Pyawbwe. In the area farther to
the east, apparently, there was no
fixed front but isolated strongholds
pivoting On Taunsgyi.

LONDON, April 27.-Adolf Hit
Ter made himself the supreme
master of Germany yesterday,
with fat power even above his
own Nazi law, and his act reused
the hopeful suspicion Of his
enemies that Germany is in deep
internal trouble after a winter
of near-catastrophe.
The extraordinary power to re-
quire absolute obedience from
every German was voted at Hit
ler's demand by the Reichstag after
he had addressed its uniformed
members in speech strangely mix
ing his usual bombast and conf
dent predictions of victory with a
new undercurrent of anxiety.
One of those predictions was that
Soviet Russia would be the decisive
battle-ground of the world conflict
and that it would be q scene of
Nazi triumph.
But Hitler's demand came i'm
mediately after he had conceded
to the Reichstag that the German
Army survived a Threatening ca
tastrophe" and suffered hardships
for which the Reich had been un-
prepared during the terrible cold
Of the Russian winter.
Called Sign of Breakup.
That the Fuehrer, who became
Germans military as well as civil
overload during the winter crisis
on the Soviet front, should now
demand strengthening of his die
tatorial power was hailed both in
Britain and Russia as a sign that
Nazidom's home front was cracking.
The London Daily Herald de-
clared it would not be surprised

Chinese Take Hopong,
BoIstering Position
Guarding Manda|ay
Strong Delaying Action
Is Being Fought on
MeiktiIu Front
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, April 27.-Lt
Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell's Chi
nese Army announced today II
had recaptured Hopong, increas-
ing the advantage of its position
guarding Mandalay from the
southeast.
Hopong is little more than II
miles east of Taunggyi, which wa
won back from the japanese last
week. Both towns are approxi-
mately 100 miles southeast oi
Mandalay. >..---
On the MeiktAa front, directly
south Of Mandalay,. the Chinese
forces reported they were fighting
strong delaying action against in
vasion spearheads thrust up the
road from Pyinmana past Tatkon.
The Chinese last were reported
holding out in the vicinity Of
Pyawbwe, about 20 miles south of
Meiktila and Thai, and IS miles
south of Mandalay.
The Chinese communique reported
the Flying Tigers of the American
Volunteer Group destroyed five jap
anese planes last Saturday near
Loilem, on the east flank of the
Burma front, without loss to them
selves.
Second Big Success.
The recapture of Taunggyi was
their second big success in the
Burma campaign, the Chinese said
yesterday in the announcement that
they had retaken the city. The first
big success was recapture OF
Yenangyaung.
After reaching Taunggyi the JAP
anese had started a northwestward
movement toward Meiktila, threat
ening the rear of the southwark
slanting Chinese lines in the Pyin-
mana sector.
BY the recapture of Taunggyi,
however, commentators pointed out,
the position is reversed, and the
Japanese line of communications
may be threatened.
If the Chinese can continue to
drive southwestward from Taung-
gyi to the Rangoon- -Mandalay road
the Japanese in the Pyinmana sec
tor soon will be in an untenable
position.
City Invaded in Night.
The communique said the Japa-
nese took Taunggyi three days ago
by driving in from Hopong.
In two neat strokes, the Chinese
counterattacked, first driving back
another Japanese column six miles
to the west which was trying to
encircle them, and then striking
the occupying force in Taunggyi.
All the heights surrounding the
city were occupied on the afternoon
of April "A. then the Chinese in
vaded the city in the night.
In a wild hand-to-hand battle in
the darkness virtually the entire
Japanese force was anEihilated, the
communique said, only a few Japa-
nese breaking through the encircle-
ment at about II O'Clock the fol-
lowing night.
