Ypsilanti High School Loses
Swimming Contest to u. High

University High School OF Ann
Arbor was we'll established as the
team Ypsilanti High School has 10
beat in the state meet next Friday.
after the locals dropped a 5l-33
swimming meet TO {. High in
the home pool Friday.
Probably the greatest handicap
70 the Warriors was the ineligibility
OF Dave Cummings, ace Ypsi diver
and distance swimmer, who in all
probabilities. will not compete in
The state meet.
Dave has taken the state Glass B
diving crown for the past two years.
and has been beaten only a very
few times this year against Glass a
competition. He has also proved
beneficial in the 200 yard free
style event breaking the Trenton
pool record in his first attempt.
[. High has been Ypsilantfs
strongest competitor for state hon
ores for. several years, and this
year is no exception.
While Bill Briggs and Lawrence
Koppin can nearly always be count
ed on for first or second in both
their events, the Braves lack back
strokers, distance swimmers. and
relay power 10 compare with the
Ann Arbor aggregation.
Another great weakness OF the
Ypsilanti tankers, IS second and
third place swimmers. All of the
points that are gained on hrsts
are lost because the other Ypsi
swimmer fails 10 place.
In only one race did the Braves
claim two places-the 100 yard free
style-when Hit OF Ypsi finished

unit OF $50 Australians blazed away
at a japanese force which was
caught in barbed wire at the waters
edge.
Over a 200-yard beach front, it was
reported. Japanese dead were stacked
6 feet high as an estimated 1900 fell
before the Australian fire-and the
Australian cost was only 20 men
slightly wounded.
The aerial attack on Rabaul, 300
miles northeast of the Australian
mainland, began January 20 with so
bombers and 20 fighters.
Against them the defenders were
able to put into the air only S
Wirraways - single-engine, general
purpose monoplanes- The Australian
planes accounted for two enemy craft
before they were shot down, leaving
Rabaul entirely without air protec-
ton. Anti-aicraft fire brought down
5 other planes.
Two days later, refugees from
the island said, ITO japanese aircraft
bombed Rabau heavily-blasting
Praed Point fortress for a solid
hour. They attempted to land on
the airport but demolition charges
were exploded and two of the invad-
ing planes were destroyed. Machine
gun fire brought down a third

2:30 am. by force of japanese with
blackened arms and faces and clad
In shorts and singlets.
That force was repulsed, but
at dawn thousands of troops came,
covered by the guns of warships
and 100 dive-bombers and fighters.

slaughter of Ralauna Beach.
BY noon the japanese were
swarming everywhere. survivors Of
the defense said, and further resist
ance was seen to be useless. Some
Australian troops then suddenly
withdrew through Okopo toward the
bush.
Four hundred others took the
Malabonga road toward Rabata, a
village 80 miles distant, harried by
Japanese planes. At Rabata food
was picked up and troops moved
into the jungle for what turned out
to be a struggle of many weeks
with mud, mosquitoes. malaria, rain
and crocodile infested rivers.
On many days, veterans of the
struggle said, each man had only
a single biscuit and one-twelfth of
a tin of beer. Later, natives helped
them supplement their food supply
with yams and coconuts until they
could reach Australian-held points

Until noon not a single child had

All animal houses were closed at
the Zoo, according to DR.. William

itors were likely to feed the animals
and drop eggs on the floor. All
animals usually outside on display,
however, were on exhibition.
There were clockers at all five
entrances to the Zoo, Adams Mil

Narvik Reported Raided
By British Troops, Planes
Ey the Associated Press,


LONDON, April 6.-ReuterS quoted
q report today in the Stockholm
newspaper Aftonbladet that British
troops and planes raided the Narvik
area of the German-held coast of
Norway last Friday.
Explosions, it said, could be heard
on the Swedish side Of the frontier
which runs close to the coast in
the Narvik area, almost touching
the back of Narvik Fjord.
Authoritative London sources,
however, said they had no informa-
ton about such raid (Which, even
if true, the British probably would
keep secret until the return Of the
raiders)
A special Stockholm dispatch to
the New York Times last night,
quoting the newspaper Alton It'd,
ningen, said many casualties and
considerable damage to shipping had
been inflicted in the far northern
Norwegian harbor and that British
raiders may have collaborated with
Russian bonhers. II said the raid
was staged early yesterday.

Eight Injured as Car
Hits Gas Main on
Frederick Road
Explosion Is Heard
For Miles, Residents
Thinking 1t Air Raid

An automobile crashed into a
shutoff valve on a natural gas
main about a mile north OF
Rockville on the Frederick pike
early today, causing inj-<y to
eight persons and igniting gas
from the main with an explosion
that led to considerable excite
ment in Montgomery County
over rumors of an air raid.
The explosion, according to county
police, was heard for more than 10
miles. A number of phone calls from
excited residents who were under
the impression the noise had been
caused by bomb dropped from an
enemy plane were received at police
and newspaper offices.
Telephone lines in the immediate
vicinity of the accident were broken.
but flremen were able to protect
nearby power lines. Traffic over
Highway 24o was rerouted during
the blaze.
Fire Burns Three Hours.
Both the Rockville and Gathers
burg Volunteer Fire Departments
fought the blaze for about three
hours before it was extinguished.
At one time, the flames reached a
height of 300 feet, according to
Montgomery County Policemen Will
son Payne and James Burdette. The
fire destroyed the car and burned
/ nearby woods.
The eight persons injured. all COL
ored residents of Rockville, were
taken to Georgetown Hospital by the
Rockville Rescue Squad.
Those injured were Henry M. Ma
gruder, listed by police as the driver
of the car: Dolly Lyons. Wade Da-
! Wis, Nathaniel Offutt. Carroll Wins,
Marjorie Williams. Ida Bades and
mitted to the hospital suffering
from burns.
Natural Gas Main.
The main is part of the principal
pipe line carrying natural gas from
Kentucky to Pennsylvania, the Dis
trict and points in Virginia, accord
ing to Everett j. Boothby, vice pres
ident and general manager Of the
Washington Gas Light Co.
Mr.. Boothby explained that the
fire did not interrupt service to con-
sumers south of Rockville since the
gas was shut of just below the blaze,
and the area served by gas from
| Washington. While the Washington
Gas Light plant in Washington was
without natural gas for several
hours, its operation was not halted
since oil was used as fuel instead,
he added.
