Quincy, Mass.-Rear Ad miral Frederick Sherman declared that control of the seas is now dependent up- on control of the air, and added: We developed this form of warfare and the Japanese, imitators as they always have been, copied from us. But no country in the world can employ these weapons as effective ly as the American navy
 Sounding the d e a t h knell of the battleship as the real backbone of sea power, Admiral Sherman declared:
 We still use the surface of the sea for surface craft, but the primary weapons we use to conduct fighting at sea are aircraft which fly from the decks of our carriers. D

 Against Nazis

London - British Trans .poration Minister Lord Sellmore has appealed to the people of the occupied countries of Europe to com init thousands of acts of sa botage against the Nazi transportation system.
 Sellmore said that the effect of thousands of min or acts of sabotage would be much greater than such more spectacular blows as dynamating trains.
 The minister's sugges- tions were broadcast to oc- cupied Europe by the Brit ish radio.
 Lord Sellmore said that the German war machine depends for maintenance of the transportation sys- tenn, and halting or slow ing of transportation will render great aid to the United Nations.

New Delhi, India - The n 6 W cOmmander-in-chief in India, General Sir Arch i b a l d Wavell, revealed that hte recapture of Bur ma is one of the principal objeCtives of United Ma tion's war strategy.
 General Wavell told a group of British and Am erican correspondents that Burma is one of the import ant strategic areas for sue cessful prosecution of the war against Japan.
 Re-occupation Necessary
 He said re-occupation of Burma was necessary not only to re-establish contact with the Chinese, but to provide a base for attack on Japan itself. Said Way ell.

 Wavell pointed out that Rommel's advance into Egypt and the German threat to the Caucasus had diverted supplies and men destined for India.
 Situations Improved
 But, he added, these sit uations now have improv- ed. The British general said the biggest fight this year is the fight for ship ping to supply the many United Nations fronts.
 He expressed doubt that the Japs would try to in- wade either India or Aus tralia, saying the Tokio Warlords probably want to digest what they already have swallowed. He said he expected the Japanese air force to prove their weakest point, since they must keep large forces at home and in Manchuria to watch Russia and still to keep a strong force in the southwest Pacific.
