 first and last torpedoes had hit their mark.
 Voge had no time to verify re- suits because the three destroyers counter attacked immediately.
 They dropped 58 depth cargeS on a hunt which lasted for many hours, and the submarine was unable to surface again until early morning.
 Washington, March 24.-(UP)- Submarines of the Asiatic fleet, de- livering increasingly heavier blows along Japan's vital supply lines, were credited today with having destroy ed one-third of all the Japanese ships sent to the bottom by Ameri- can army and naval forces.
 Their latest bag was revealed in navy communique last night which said that group of them, stealing into Japanese home waters, had sunk at least three and prob ably four enemy vessels and dam- aged two others.
 Definitely sunk in the recent" attacks were a 7,000-ton tanker, a 5-OO0-ton freighter and 6,000-ton merchane ship while Japanese naval vessel-either a destroyer or an anti-submarine ship - was probably sunk.
 The two ships damaged by Amer ican torpedoeS were described as 2.OO0-ton freighterS
 The announcement brought the total bag of the submarines to 39 ships sunk or presumably sunk, in- cluding 24 transports and supply ships.A
 Since the start of the war in the Pacific, U. s. army and naval forces bombing planes, surface warShips and submarines - have sunk 12O Japanese warships, transports, aux diaries and supply vessels.
 Against the submarine bag Of 39 Japanese ships, the Asiatic fleet is reported to have lost only one sub marine, the Shark, whose pre- sumable" loss was announced last Wednesday, although the submarine Sealion had to be destroyed at Cavite naval base in the Philippine Islands to prevent its falling into enemy hands.
 Of the 39 ships sunk by subma- rineS or believed to have been sunk, 13 have been sent to the bottom in Japan'S home waters.
 Naval experts said Japan's losses of merchant and supply ships along her supply routes to the New Guinea and Philippine fronts. including 24 such vessels sunk by American sub- marines, undoubtedly are being felt severely by the Tokyo war makers
 If the sinkings continue at their present rate, it was said. the Jap enese may be compelled to halt and eansolidaLe their southwest Pacific

the ''bllle" signal. Residents of the Chase Parkway section said that AGiddlebury's signal had also been given several minutes early in the sectional test of March 1.
 The local test was marTed by an Incident in which a 17-year old girl warden was struck and knocked down after asking several youths to take cover. The alleged aSsailant, Frank Genova, g, of 57 St. Joseph avenue, was arrested soon after the s'all clear". The warden, Beatrice Pelletier, of 70 Houghton street, was treated at St. Mary's hospital for swollen ear and bruised hip.
 Marring the statewide test was the failure of Watertown to order e blackout. Officials there said they failed to receive the "red" signal from Waterbury, but local authori- ties said their recorsd showed that the signal had been sent and ac- knowledged. As result street

Confidence Voiced As Japs Launch Attacks

the Japanese raid on Darwin, the north coast base, Sunday shows that neither casualties nor damage were caused and that the Japanese lost one plane and probably two.
 This brought to 27 and probably 28 the number of Japanese planes downed since last week end.
 Port Moresby dispatches en- phasized the vigor and power of the American and Australian attacks and indicated that the Japanese, set back on their heels after losing probably more than 100 planes and 50 ships, in addition to many dam aged, in the two months since they landed in the Bismarck islands, had been forced to slow their pace.
 Japs March Inland
 The Japanese were reported marching a force through the New Guinea interior on the path toward the Gulf of Papua, but Australian patrols on the Papua side had not reported contact with them recently.
 Thus, 1t was emphasized, the Japanese, though they had landed men .the north New Guinea coast since establishing their base at Rabaul, on New Britain island in the Bismarcks, had made less prog ress in the Australian defense zone than in any other.
 Describing the tireless eagerness of Allied airplane cfews for action, Port Moresby dispatch said that one bomber pilot carried out an assignment despite an attack of malaria, refusing to report to a hospital When he returped from his flight, he had temperature of 103 and was taken to hos pital. ...

 It was known, he said, that Sweden'S air force had been strengthened by additional planes and pilots.
 The Swedish air force now in- cludes American dive bombing planes which were used in recent maneuvers, he added.
 Germany is concentrating troops and ships at Stettin and other ports just south of Sweden, the informant said.
 Norwegian sources said that the Germans had considerably in- creased their garrison in Norway.
 They said that if the Germans calculated on an Allied offensive on Norway, probably in the northern sector, they would need the im- portant railroad which from Trond- helm extends into Sweden and con- meets at Oestersund with the main north-south line. Thus, it was sug- gested, that Germans could rein force their northern Norway gar- risons.
 Neutral observers said that if there were any possibility of an AL lied offensive on Norway 1t would certainly pay the Germans to get into Sweden before the Allies did.

Blackout Briefs

Six-year-old Joseph Mancini, Jr., was a blackout casualty last night. The youngSter suffered 8 severe finger laceration when a glass knob broke in his hand as he was open ing drawer to get a flaSh1ight. His injury was treated at St. Mary's hospital.
 Zone c, with headquarters at Russell school, was the first of the city's four zones to submit com plete sector report to the general headquarters at the City Hall. Its respOrt was filed at 9:23 o'clock.
 HouseholderS in many sections of the city still complained that the sirens signalling the blackout could not be heard or could be heard only very faintly. Tn some cases the sirens could not even be heard by persons who were outdoors.
 Display lights in Q Center street store remained on all during the blackOut period.
 A car owned by Edward Fitzger- aid, 35, of 124 East Liberty street, was damaged in Prospect, where it had been parked at the side of the road when the test began. It ws hit by car driven by Chief Air War den Carl Garfield, which was be- ing operated without lights.
 Pedestrians knew that something was up when, before S:SO they saw wardens and other volunteer de- fense workers assembling at their posts. The volunteers could be iden- tified by their arm bands.

 Mayor at Meeting x
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully, who was addressing an East End wardens' meeting at Anderson school when the yellow" signal was received and then rushed to the city hall, described the test as highly satis- factory. The efficient mobilization of wardens, auxilairy policemen and auxiliary firemen was deserving of high praise, he said. The public should also be complimented for its cooperation, he stated.
 Mobilization of civilian defense manpower was carried out at top speed. Messages calling men and women to duty went out from gen. eral, district and sector headquar- ters.
 Wardens gathered at their as- signed posts, auxiliary policemen took over their prearranged posts, and auxiliary firemen gathered at the city's engine houses.
 Medical Defense on Job
 Members of the medical defense committee reported to their posts, and nurses gathered at fire houses for any possible first aid work. Special crews of utility companies were summoned to duty and were ready for any emergency.
 The whole defense personnel was ready when the sirens began to sound.
 Chief Air Warden James J. Curtin said he was proud of the way in which the wardens had acted in the surprise test.
 When the "all clear" was sounded at $50 lights went back on with amazing rapidity, buses and pas senger cars started moving again, and soon the city was back to nor mal.
 Test Satisfactory"
 Hartford, Conn.,, March 24.-(UP) The first statewide blackout in the United States was held in Con- necticut for 20 minutes last night, and today state authorities de- scribed 1t is satisfactory.
 The blackout was a total surprise to the 1,800,000 residents of Connec- ticut, although it was known a total blackout would be called some time this week. About 5000 square miles were blacked out.
 Deputy State Defense Admins trator Guy B. Holt said the black out was generally successful at first reports. State Police Com missioner Edward J. Hickey said the test was Satisfactory.
 However, there were numerous isolated instances where lights stayed on, causing great anguish to air raid wardens.
 WatertOwn Test Fails
 The town of Watertown, for in- stance, failed to be blacked out at all because of alleged failure of a warning signal to come through from the Waterbury center. This was the claim of Watertown of- ficials, but Waterbury authorities said not only was the blackout sig nal dispatched, but that 1t was con- firmed.
 Hartford had trouble when two or three huge signs atop a build ing remained lit during the entire test because of a faulty switch. And further trouble developed when an air raid warden left the lights in his car on, locked the doors, and vanished into the night.
 All motor traffic was stopped dur ing the blackout, and all travellers and pedestrians were ordered off the streets.
 Since the test was surprise, about 25 per cent of the air raid wardens in Hartford failed to get to their jobs promptly. However, officials said this was pretty good record.

ticularly large at this moment" he Said)
 Confident Attitude
 Curtin's attitude, following week. end conferences between MacAr- thur and high Australian military and government officials, was one of confidence.
 A spokesman emphasized that the accepted policy of Australia was "offense and ruthless determination in which defense plays no part"
 We shall seek out the enemy and shower on him our heaviest blows" Air Minister Arthur S. Darkeford said.
 "As time goes on they will be mighty blows"
 Strike At All Enemies
 we shall strike wherever we find him." Darkeford continued.
 "These blows will not be less be- cause we know our great ally (the United States) is in it with char acteristic energy and thorough ness"
 The keynote of instructions to the Australia forces, approved by War Minister F. M. Forde and the military board, was that the great est emphasis should be placed on development of offensive spirit.
 This attitude has been reflected in the hard aerial fighting over the approaches to northern Australia where the Japanese today centerec their attacks against Port Moresby
 Escorted by Navy Planes
 Japanese bombing planes which made the attack were escorted by crack Navy-O fighter planes, Cur tin said in his communique.
 The first wave of enemy planes attacked an airdrome in the Port Moresby area. The second concen- trated on targets near the town.
 No details of damage or possible casualties were immediately avail able, Curtin added.
 He reported that one enemy plane was damaged by heavy anti-aircraft gunfire and probably failed to reach its base, thus increasing to at least 2S and probably 29 or more Jap  anese planes downed of Australia since last week.
 U. s. Planes Active
 American and Australian planes were reported ranging widely over invasion areas on the hunt for Jap anese ships and bases, following up their weekend attacks in which, 1t was believed here, the enemy forces were weakened materially.
 In an earlier communique, re- viewing Sapanese raids of yester- day, Curtin said that though the Japanese dropped 30 bombs on Wyndham, on the northwest Aus tralian coast, tlAey did only slight damage and caused one casualty-a service man whose knee was hurt by a flying stone.
 Curtin said that hate reports of

they were sent from other fronts or from Japan.
 The Japanese air force subjected Corregidor to heavy bonbings early in January when fleets of 50 to SO bombers swept over. But American anti-aircraft gunners took such a heavy toll of the raiders that the attacks were abandoned.
 The last important air attack on Corregidor occurred Jan. IS, staged by nine Japanese bombers, two of which were shot down.
 The indications of a Japanese major offensive In the Philippines followed disclosure that submarines of the D. s. Asiatic fleet have sunk one-third of the Japanese ships sent to the bottom by U. s. army and naval forces since the start of the war in the Pacific.

civilian calls were made during the blackout. Not a single call was re- ceived at fire headquarters.
 Army planes over the city were more numerous than ever yesterday afternoon, but whether or not this had anything to do with the test called several hours later is cOnjec- tural. A plane circled the city dur- ing the blackOut, probably to take pictures.
 The night was considerably dark CT than at the first city-w1de test three weeks ago, but the moon shed some light through the clouds.
 Several cars which attempted to proceed after the sirens had been sounded were halted by policemen and auxiliary policemen. One nOn- official auto proceeded down East Main street, without light, for con- siderable distance before 1t was stopped.
 First to arrive at the report center in the city hall after re- ceipt of he yellow" alert signal was Deputy Superintendent Dan- iel J. Carson of the police depart ment, who was on hand less than i've minutes after the signal had come in.
 Next was James McMahon, as- Sistant superintendent of streets, and third was James Kelly, of the Connecticut Light 6 Power Go. The fourth arrival was Dr. J. Harold Root, of the medical de- fense unit, and fifth was Private Michael McKenna, fire depart ment switchboard operator.

 Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright's little army on the Bataan battle front, resolutely waiting for the Japanese to deliver the "conse- auences' of Wainwright'S defiance of a surrender ultimatum Sunday, were alert for what may be an im- minent Japanese offensive.

Need for chlldren's recreation
was emphasized by Miss Irene
Boyce, Ann Arbor. when, in the
beautiful home OF Mrs. Ray FLEET
cher. she addressed the Ypsilantl
Child Study Club at its last regula:
meeting OF the year Thursday.
Miss Boyce is director OF recrea
ton for women and director OF kirls'
physical education, Ann Arbor High
School Miss Boyce stated that 4
child's toys were his tools so she
advises that people should provide
their children with proper toys and
then the child viii develop with
very little training. The proper So
cial and physical development of A
child before he is OF school age Is
extremely important as habits
formed in those years are the foun-
dation upon which he builds, she
pointed out. She said a child needs
very few toys. Balls. blocks, clay,
sand boxes and dolls are among
the basic toys. Good toys are eco.
nomical and child should learn to
take care Of his own things and re
spect the property OF others. At first
a child just admires large bright OBJ
jects. she stated, and then he plays
with his toys alone even II others
are present, then comes the period
when he learns 10 play with other
