DETAILS WITHHELD


Full details of the technicians
examination have not been re-
leased and may not be. But some
experts already say that powerful
air-cooled motors will feature fu-
ture fighter models and all-purpose
combat planes. The necessity of
heavy armament already is out
weighing the advantages of stream
lining obtained by the SLIM -nosed
liquid cooled engines, they say.
The German plane also has fan
to aid in cooling the motor and
slide openings in the cowling which
control the passage of air to the
oil coolers.
The designer, Kurt Tank, gave
the plane an exceptionally wide
undercarriage TO increase safety in
landing on rough fields. Informa-
tion on the weapons carried is still
secret
The Messerschmitt once was the
backbone of the NaZi fighter force
but today any British fighter can
hold its own with it and the Spit
fire can Fly rings around it and
outshoot it."

by Australian opposition leader Will
liam M. Hughes that the Allied
command had bungled the situa-
ton and a warning to Japan that
it would not be permitted to re-
main in MacArthur's zone immed-
lately.
1t was also a reminder to the
folks at home that the Japanese
navy, almost unchallenged except
by a relatively small Allied plane
force, rules the seas throughout the
Australian theater.
Hughes had asked why the Japa-
neSe had been allowed" to take the
Zuna- Coma area and had demanded
that Macarthur move without a
days delay" to get it back. Mac
Arthur's spokesman answered him
directly and somewhat bluntly.

with the enemy partly controll-

seas lanes from Rabaul (to the

been impossible to defend this ad-

the troops involved.
They could have been supplied
mainly only by sea, with little hope
of success, and any garrison there
would undoubtedly have been over

Jap Zero Planes
Give Allied Aces
Many Headaches
BY HAROLD GUARD

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA,
Aug. 6-CUP)-Eight months of war
have taught the Allies that pre-
Pearl Harbor conceptions of the
Japanese as poor filters using infer
ior planes were wrong.
Any American pilot will tell you
that the japanese flier knows the
score and that the improved Zero
plane is one of the worlds finest
fighters.
The fact that Allied planes have
proved a match for Zeros on the
1000 mile front north of Australia
is a tribute to their pilots flying
ability.
The American made fighters that
90 against the Zeros are the Bell
Airacobra and the CurtiSS Kitty
hawk, but it is the Martin twin
motored marauder bomber - the
B-26-that battle reports show to
be the most effective.
! ZEROS ADMIRED
American pilots like their own
planes but they frequently express
wish that they had little more
of the Zero's all around capabilities
especially its ability to climb fast
and get on top in combat and It's
wide operational range.
Every pilot tries to get above his
opponent in a dogfight and that's
where the japanese plane seems
to have the edge. I recall an oc-
casion in which several pilots told
of surrounding a lone Zero. They
figured they had it tagged.
And then what does he do? He
goes straight up and leaves US
there" one of the men said.
GOES IN STEPPED
! The Zero stresses extreme simpli-
city. 1t goes into battle much as
! the japanese infantryman does,
stripped of everything not essen
tial to hand. 1t carries a minimum
Of nom essential equipment and a
maximum of arms. 1t is an excellent
fighter and highly respected.
The Zero actually is a mongrel
in that the best features OF the
worlds greatest fighter planes are
embodied in its construction. The
engine is of the Pratt and Whitney
type. German and American ideas
are noted in the instrument panel
arrangements. Many structural
features are those of the British
Hurricane and the armament Is
much like that of British fighters.
1t was tested for years against
the Chinese, for the Japanese ap-
parently used China as laboratory
for the machines they later used
against the United Nations.

BOMBAY, India, Aug. Cup =
Widespread violence among India's
masses was predicted today when
Nationalist leaders, meeting here
with Mohandas K. Gandhi, aband-
oned virtually all hopes of last
minute compromise averting ma
tionwide civil disobedience campaign
against British rule.
Members of the All-India cen
gress, summoned into session to ap-
prove Gandhi's call for 'sastygraha
mon violent resistance) in support
of demands for India's immediate
independence, said resolution
adopted yesterday constituted the
congress last appeal to Britain
and the United Nations.
BRITISH FIRM
However. British reaction to this
new resolution which promised that
India will fight fundamentally On
the Allied side if British rule is re-
moved was said to have made it
clear that Britain will not go be-
yond its offer of postwar inde-
pendence.
Three-way violence which may
approach the proportions of civil
war with the Hindus, the Moslefs
and the British as the chief pro-
tagonists was said in informed quar-
ters to be inevitable if Gandhi's
call for "sastygraha" is approved
by the fu.. committee Of the con-
gress here tomorrow and put into
action.
MOSLEMS AGGRESSIVE
The Indian Moslems who number
about o0,OO0,000 and claim to be
the most democratic in Indias many
sects are challenging both Gandhi
and the British in the struggle.
They are accusing Gandhi and
the All-India congress of seeking 10
establish a Hindu Raj" in power
in India and are demanding their
right to an all-Moslem state. But,
like the congress party, they de-
mand ince-cndence from Britain.
Moslem leaders said today that
communal riots are inevitable if
Gandhi's passive resistance cam
paign is launched because Of Mos
lem refusal to support it.
They predicted that in many reg
ions there will be uncomfortable
violence, both between the Gandhi
followers and the British and be-
tween the Gandhi supporters and
the MoslemS.
Gandhi is reported 10 have told
his followers that his "non-Yio-
lence" campaign would bring vic
tory within a month and it was
generally agreed, even among his
opponents, that he will be able to
muster large force behind him
from among the more than 100000
900 Hindus.
SPEAKS FRIDAY
The wizened, loin-clothed Gandhi
will address the all-India congress

the resolution calling for passive
resistance and is expected TO out

MOTOR BETTER?

Pilots and aeronautical experts
also have said that the 100 is bet
ter in a tighter turn at great
heights. where most air battles are
fought these days, which probably
indicates that the German motor
may have shade on the British
counterpart.
Off-setting this technical critic
ism, however, is the cold fact that
about 10 days ago a flight of Spit
fires challenged an equal flight of
Focke-Wulfs and shot down nine
of them while losing only three OF
their own planes
The Spitfire, it is reported, can
make better than 400 miles an hour
while the Focke- -Wulfs best speed
at 1900 feet is believed to be
about $40 miles. In maneuvering,
the Spitfire has the edge, and pi-
lots prefer its armament and power
plant arrangement TO that of the
Nazi plane.
Just what the new Focke--Wulf
is like was learned this week by
British Raj officials and research
technicians when one of the Ger
man fighters was forced down in
Britain in good condition.
just as the British pilots had re-
ported, its power plant was found
very compactly arranged. The pi-
| lots had contended that we'll
