One Woman CoIIdpses in Group Taken from
 Puget Sound Island

WINSLOW, Washington, March 30--An elderly Japanese woman col lapsed as the army loaded more than 200 Bainbridge Island evacuees aboard an especially chartered fer ry boat today, and the sight touched off a sudden loud burst of weeping among the crowd which until then had kept emotions pent up.
 Members of an army first aid squad said that the woman suf- fered a stroke. She was cared for in an ambulance aboard the craft which was enroute to Seattle where a train waited to carry the Japan csc to an internment center in Manzanar, California.
 Another aged Japanese woman was too ill to walk and was car ried aboard the boat, the Eagle dale. Large groups of white boys and girls skipped their classes at the island high school to bid fare well to their ex-schoolmates at the ferry landing

Jaan, seemingly Stymied in her drive towards Australia by floods in New Guinea and mounting losses of warships and planes, is making Burma the main battle ground and according to late after noon disatches, the going there is becoming harder and great ferocity is manifested.
 The big drive is determined one for possession of the gateway to India and cn the opposite side is apparently an all-out offensive by the Indians themselves in view of the cffer of Great Britain for post war freedom in return for full war assistance now
 Chinese veterans on the eastern Toungoo wing of the Burma line are reported to have recapturcd several small villages from the Jap anese. Counter thrusts are being made by the invaders and fight ing is reported at close quarters.
 The Chinese have seized mortars. heavy guns, horses and other war materials. Casualties are reported heavy on both sides.

INDIANS ARE GATHERED IN
 SECRET MEET
Are Deliberating on Bril- aims Offer of Dominion
 Status After War

NEW DELHI, India, March 30- Indian leaders are debating tonight in secret on the British proposals to grant India Dominion status after the war even as Sir Stafford Cripps appealed to the millions by radio to accept the proposal plans.
 Our proposals are definite and precise. If they are rejected, notil- ing will be done until after the war" was the radio statement to the Indians.
 At tonights secret session, the Executive Committee of the All India National Congress, chief po- litical party Of the Hindu Popula- tion, and the Moslem League, de liberated on the proposals at such length that it appeared unlikely the decision will be reached until later in the week.
 In the meantime Sir Stafford Cripps continued to interview the individual leaders, including Pre- mier of Bengal, Dr. Ramji Ambed- kar, leader of India's 50000,000 un- touchables, the lowest Hindu caste

Hitler 5farfed Fighf 31Months Ago; Today
 Battles Are ConfinuinQ
(By Associated Pressl

Thirty-one months ago today, Hit Ter sent his Nazi legions through the Polish frontier and started a war.
 Today that war has spread from Western Europe to the Mediterran- can Basin, and to the fight of tangled sea and air power in an all- out effort by Hitler to break the deadlock on the 2,000-mile Russian front and on the blizzard-swept Arctic seaway to Murmansk.
 Today, the Germans acknowledged that one of Hitlers precious de- Stroyers had been sent down in a battle with a convoy on its way to Russia, but the Nazi communique claimed the sinking of 10,000-ton transport loaded with tanks and munitions.
 And on another front. fighting col umns of British Imperials in Libya struck at German and Italian posi- tions behind the Tmimi Fl Mechlli line. In Saturday night skirmishes in Libya, it was reported that highly mobile field guns were turned on the Axis positions.
 Rome reported that large air bat ties are raging in Libya, that Ger man fighter planes had destroyed four British aircraft.
 In the Mediterranean battle, new bombing raids were reported on the Allied posts at Tobruk and Malta.

WASHING N-After three months of temporizing with native Fascist champions, Attorney Gen. eral Francis Riddle is finally going to get tough-on direct personal orders of the President.
 Roosevelt directed Riddle to take vigorous legal action against cer- tain factional leaders who have been publicly denouncing the war az ainst the Axis and in some instances actually expressing pleasure over Jap victories.
 Complaints have poured into Washington from parents of boys in the armed forces demanding that these domestic foes be jailed. But Riddle demurred on the ground of preserving civil liberties
 Shortly after Pearl Harbor, FBI agents arrested Robert Noble, rabid Los Angeles Fascist leader, on ser- ious charges involving statements concerning the war. Despite the FBIs evidence, Riddle ordere d Noble released.
 This brought down a storm of protests on Biddle's head that steadily increased as the hostile op- erations of these elements became bolder and more outspoken. Still Riddle refused to allow either the FBI or federal district attorneys, who were champing at the bit, to crack down.
 Finally White House advisers, alarmed over the situation took the matter direct to the President. They laid before him a mass of evidence dealing with Noble Father Coughlin, Francis P. Moran of Boston, Gerald L. K. Smith of Michigan and Charles B. Hudson of Omaha.
 One document shown Roosevelt was the March issue of Coughlin's weekly publication which declared /. that world wide sacred war. was declared against Germany nine years ago. The publication also at tackled aid to Russia. dsnounced the British bombing of French plants making Nazi supplies. and con- tained such statements as:

On the invasion arc in North Australia, the Japanese have made a 27-mile withdrawal in New Guinea from Markham Valley bases, just ahead of floods rolling down the mountain side, while other Jap footholds and their sea communi- cations are threatened by the grow ing strength of the American Aus tralian air team.
 Japanese airmen struck at Dar- win on the Northern Australian mainland again, and three navy fighting planes of the invaders in- sffectually raided Port Moresby. For Darwin, 1t was the eighth raid of the war, and for Port MCrcsby, the twenty y-second.
 Australian Air Minister Drake F'orde reported that one-tenth of Japan's cruiser strength was crip- pied in the battle of approaches in recent weeks as the Japs jockeyed for positions to launch an attack on Australia. He said that the Japs have lost 48 bombers and fighters and that Is more of the Jap planes have been damaged.
