46TH COMMANDMENT
GROUP

Flying the no-man'S-land OF
the air is by no means the
full compliment of a bombing
squadron task. Much of the
time is spent by the ground
crew and flying personnel in
the ready rooms" Pilots
and gunnerS and bombardiers
consult the ruled blackboard
al stated intervals and study
the simulated tactics If not
the actual combat data. Each
becomes a flight commander
in his own right.
To relieve the sometimes
monotonous and usually grim
business of war, a touch of
humor is not unwelcome 10
any corps. A mother kangaroo
supplies the whimsy for the
insignia Of the 10th Bombard-
Group. The Disney artists
have placed her on a cloud
where she coquettishly makes
use of her handy pouch as a
carrier place for bombs. To
further demonstrate her
worth. she plucks them out at
will- and deftly-dreps them
over the edge into space,
hoping they will drift where
they will do the most good.

Britain, in the Bismarcks, northeast

sumably from an aircraft carrier,
the air ministry said, but fought
them off and reached base without
loss.
Airplane passengers arriving to-
day at Townsville, on the northeast
coast, from Darwin, reported that
the japanese attacks Thursday were
exceedingly ferocious, comparable
with some of the worst German
raids on Great Britain.
They said that within two min
utes after the alarm, bombs began
dropping.
The japanese executed perfect
~ timed pattern bombing of the en-
tire area, the witnesses said, The
planes flew over nine at a time at
three minute intervals. There were
seven or eight waves OF them.
They flew over Darwin from the
southwest, apparently having come
in over the Joseph Napoleon gulf
to circle over land to reach their
target area.
The japanese flew in at about
5000 to 5000 feet altitude and their
dive bombers hurtled down to with

URUGUAY FEARING
POLITICAL COUP
Continued from Page y

yesterday after several nominees to
1t had refused TO serve. 1t was re-
ported that their refusal was due
to demand by President Baldomir
that the court rule that his program
of constitutional reform be regarded
as approved in the coming election
If a simple majority of voters fay
ored it.
The constitution requires that in
such a referendum a majority of
the entire registered electorate must
vote approval. Baldimor has held
that this system is unfair because
registration is compulsory but vot-
ing is not.
Members Of the conservative Her.
rerlsta party asserted that they
would not recognize the result OF
the referendum if Baldimor's de-
mand was accepted.
No March Elections?
In the senate last night Senator
Semblat Amaro, speaking for the
government, said the March cleo
tons ''can not be held unless the
necessary conditions are previously
fulfilled" Members assumed that
he meant Baldimor's demand must
be conceded.
He spoke bitterly in denouncing
the opposition and accused its news
paper organs of attempts against
the public peace. ..-..

the dam and reservoir will be Sc
cured from sale of 100000 in bonds,
bids for which will be opened next
week.
Other Projects
The remaining 100000 will be
used TO meet extra costs or perhaps
to finance other small water supply
projects.
Redemption OF the 100000 in
pipe line bonds will begin in 1858.
Redemption of the reservoir and
dam bonds will begin in 1856. Re-
tirement Of both sets of bonds will
be completed by 1857.
The savings made possible through
the fact that construction bids were
lower than estimates and by virtue
of the federal grant mean not only
that the city's bonded debt will be
lower than had been figured but
also that interest charges, which the
taxpayers must pay each year, will
be considerably less than they would
have been otherwise

Results of the Allied naval action

officers pointed out that strong de-

Java waters and that operations are
continuing not only around this

Bali, Sumatra and elsewhere.
Both Bali and Sumatra, however,
