Australia S East Coast
.0n Alert After Planes
Scout Far 10 South
Allied Airmen Aeoin
Bomb Jop Bose of
Gosmoto, New Britoin

B, the Associated Press
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
Australia. May 2.-Gen. MacAr-
thurs headquarters disclosed to-
day that two suspicious war
planes which flew far down Aus
tralia's east coast over the port
Of Townsville were fired on by
anti-aircraft batteries yesterday
while Allied airmen again were
raining bombs on the enemy air
drome at GaSmata, New Britain.
AS American and Australian
planes kept up their daily assaults
on Japanese bases threatening Aus
tralia, a correspondent of the Mel
bourne Herald warned that the AL
lied airforce was facing heavy odds
and urgently needed more planes,
men and bombs in order to keep
strategic Port Moresby, New Guinea,
secure.
Unable to Intercept Planes.
The planes sighted over Towns
vile. about TOO miles below Cape
York, Australia's northeasternmost
area, were not identified and the
communique said attempts to in
tercept them were unsuccessful.
The planes were at an altitude
Of about 10000 feet in a cloudless
sky-idea for aerial photography or
scouting The whole region around
Townsville Immediately was put on
the alert for a possible air raid or
invasion attempt.
Gasmata lies about 240 miles
northeast of Lac, Japanese base on
the New Guinea coast at which
United States and Australian air.
men have struck repeatedly during
the last week. Together the two
bases give the enemy a measure of
control over the 100 mile-w wide pas
sage between New Guinea and New
Britain, strategic gateway to the
waters Immediately north of Aus
tralia.
Two Planes Destroyed.
The bulletin announcing the Gas
mata raid also reported the destruc-
ton of two japanese planes over
New Guinea.
One of these was shot down by
Allied patrols which intercepted q
formation of five planes attacking
Port Moresby, the communique said.
The other was destroyed by an
Allied reconnaissance plane which
was attacked by seven enemy fight
ers and came through furious dog
fight with flying colors. Headquar-
ters said the Allied plane probably
damaged another of the japanese
craft.
In the Philippines, Corregidor
fortress was reported undergoing
intensive air and artillery bonn
bardment. On Mindanao Island to
the south, japanese troops which
landed several days ago at Gotta
bato on the west coast were re-
ported moving inland and attempt
ing to cross the Rio Grande River.

South African Premier
Warns Of Jap Attack
B the Associated Press.

JOHANNESBURG. Union of
South Africa, May 2-Gen. Jan
Christian Smuts. Premier of the
Union OF South Africa, warned the
nation yesterday the Japanese
might attempt to attack South Af-
rica.
Although South Africa success
fully repelled dangers threatening
her borders from the north two years
ago, the union Is not yet out of
danger" Gen. Smuts said in a call
for an all-out war effort
You know how Japan is today
at the approaches to the Indian
Ocean where our continent lies. The
menace is coming to lis from the
most dangerous quarter. We are
nothing as strong in this country
as Singapore, but it was taken by
the enemy.
Rather than expose South AZ
rica to that final degradation we
should be prepared and I am pre-
pared to go the whole hog and in
span all forces of South Africa In
order to repel that menace" In
span Is South African word
meaning ''to harness or yoke up.)

DEFERRED CROP
INSURANCE PLAN
NEW PROPOSAL OFFERED WHEAT
GROWERS OF COUNTRY FOR
INITIAL TIME

A deferred payment plan for the
new three-year crop insurance con-
tract offered wheatgroWers the first
time this year has been announced by
the department Of agriculture.
Payment of the premium in annual
installments usually about harvest
time) is permitted, thus obviating the
need for an immediate cash OUTLAY
for the entire insurance period when
the contract is signed, Leroy K. Smith.
manager Of the Federal Crop InslIr-
ance Corp, explained.
Each installment on the premium. :"
smith said, will be payable in wheat
or the cash equivalent on or before the
date each installment payment is due.
The dates installments become due
VIII vary from state to state. General
~, these due dates will be about har-
vest time.
II installments are not paid when
due, the insured grower, under terms
OF his contract, allows the corporation
70 deduct the amount of the INSTALL
ment from his indemnity, If any: from
payments due him for cooperating in
the national farm program, or from
any commodity loan he might obtain
under any loan program administered
by the secretary of agriculture.
Growers may make one payment
covering premium installments for the
first two Of the three crop years en-
bodied in the contract If they choose.
The corporation is not permitted bv
law to accept such payments for more |
than one year in advance. Collection |
OF tnstallments is provided for by the
commodity note, part of the three
year contract.
Although the contract specifies in
surance protection against all unavoid-
able hazards such as drouth, wind.
flood, insects and other similar haz-
ards for three years, growers may can
Gel the last year of the insurance upon
written notice to their local AAA COM
mlttees on or before the final day
Tor accepting contracts during the
second year Of the contract period. No
one-year contract win be written on
the 1913 wheat crop.

HLHERACY BAR
TO ARMY DUTY
ABOUT 25o,00o PHYSICALLY FIT
MEN HAVE BEEN REJECTED
FOR THIS REASON

About 100000 physically fit men
enough for is divisionss-have beer
rejected for army service because OF IL
hteracy, DR.. John w. Studebaker, d.
rector OF the United States office Of
education, has disclosed.
Studebaker made the disclosure after
President Roosevelt told q press con-
terence that q startling number Of
Americans lacked the necessary lit
eracy. education or mentality for serv-
ice with the army and navy.
The education director said a nro-
gram IS being worked out with War
Manpower Commissioner Paul v. Nc
Mutt to give the ''functionaIly litter
ate" basic training IN reading, writing
and arithmetic.
The program is designed to improve
the situation as rapidly as possible
Studebaker said.
He said $4,000 men who would have
been placed in class IA have been de-
ferred because Of inability to meet the
army's nteracy requirements. At least
$4,000 OF these men are physically fit
for active duty, he added.
The 1910 census disclosed that f3.7
percent Of the nations total population
over 70 years Of age had not passed
fourth grade. The army requires fifth
grade or better for induction. During
.he last war. however, this rule did not
exist and about IS percent of the
american army could neither read nor
write, Studebaker said.

Your Victory Garden
PLANT SECOND CROPS

Inc victory gardener has much In
common with the factory manager:
both like to get as much from their
production space as possible. To do this
the gardener resorts to two doubling
up arrangements called succession and
companion paintings.
He knows, for instance, that radishes
take only few weeks to mature, thus
leaving whole row or more of space
for another crop. In this case. a mix
ture OF radish and parsley seed can
be planted at the same time the pars-
ley being slower and obliging enough
to give the radishes full sway for the
first few weeks. This is called compan-
ion planting, as both crops grow to-
gether, although one is harvested be-
fore the other.
Other companions for radishes are
cabbage or peas between the rows. In
this case two rows are planted in a
space for only one, but as radishes ma
ture quickly and are used up there re-
mains only one row, with sufficient
room for cabbages or peas. Another
