AIR WARFARE IN !. ] RUSSIA SPREADS
CContinued from Page D

Reviewing the war in the air, the Russians said they had destroyed 415 German planes and lost only 84 of their own in the eight days end ed Hast midnight.
 Between March 29 and April 4, the German air force lost 296 planes" the communique asserted. "Our loss es were ST."
 From the increasing number of enemy planes destroyed, it seemed that the Germans were trying to take the initiative in the air and were taking a terrific beating.
 Nothing important" happened yesterday, the communique said, all though the Germans tried several counter r-attacks in one sector, and were beaten back. Then the Ger mans, attempting flank attack, dropped SO parachutists. Soviet ma- chine gunners got 57 before they touched the ground.
 Russians Break Through
 After softening up German de- lenses along river, where the Ger mans had intended to hold out until it was swollen by the spring thaw, the Russians broke through, the connmunique said.
 sOur advance continues" 1t said.
 The Germans were trying desper- ately to hold key positions in the Donets Basin and on the central front, where Marshal Semyon Tt- moshenko's and Gen. Gregori zhuk- ovss armies, according to official re- ports, have been killing Germans wholesale.
 Timoshenko was reported to have wiped out spring reserves, prema- tlrely rushed up to the German Sixth and 17th armies in the Don- cts, forcing the invaders to call up more reserves from as far away as Jugoslavia. Zhukov, 1t was earlier announced, had killed 10000 Ger mans in II days fighting on the cen tral front.
 This indicated the increased tenn DO of the Russian onslaught, inas- much as those II days - between March g and April 4-accounted for as many Germans as did the whole month of February.
 The Russians were operating with large forces inside the German lines and between the points the Ger mans were striving to hold: Gzhatsk vyazma, Orel and Rzhev, until dry weather allows them to try to take the offensive again.

(COntlnued rom Page D in fear. The ship missed it by 30 feet.
 Then the submarine started to chase the ship, but running vide open and zig tagging, the ship lost it in an hour.
 The American vessel carried crew of 38.
 A shell, exploding at 2:25 a. m. March 8, was the first warning that the Panamanian ship, carrying no cargo, was under attack. Captain James Stewart the master was kill- ed by shrapnel. First Mate Hawkins Fudske was killed by splinters from a shell which exploded as he pulled away in the one undamaged life- boat.
 Six more were killed and 20 wounded, and the men aboard left in the nfeboat and on three rafts.
 Until another ship in the vicinity fired two star shells and scared the submarine away, it poured incen- diary, shrapnel, pom pom and 50 caliber machine gun shells into the ship. She was soon blazing fercely.
 The survivors had been landed when they heard the fire was out and their ship still afloat. Some went out agair d brought her into Mobile he s, although the one torpedo fired oy the submarine had crashed into her amidshipS, on the port side.
 Praise Is Given
 Chief Engineer T. J. Metaggart, 9, of Medford, Mass, telling the story to naval officers, praised Arr thur (Pop) Lauman, 56, the water tender.
 He was working in the fire room when the first shell struck. He stay- ed until shell broke pipe and sprayed him with steam. Then he moved to another position in the boiler room and continued work.
 When the survivors were ordered to abandon ship, Lauman found his way to the deck barred by fire. He crawled through a hole in the side of the ship and up rope ladder to the deck, where he remained for two hours. Metaggart said he was the last man to leave.
 One man, already wounded, jump ed into the, water and was devoured by shark.
 The men were ordered to leave the ship when the stering gear was disabled and, with engines going full speed, she went out of control. There was no attempt to shell the survivors, but Fudske was killed and six other wounded by shell that struck the ship as the lifeboat was pulling away.
 Among the survivors was Neal Bowen 38, second assistant engineer of Long Island City, N. Y.

 FORCES HIT AGAIN
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D planes attacking Lac were met with strong anti-aircraft fire but pushed through 1t and unloaded their bombs on the Japanese airdrome.
 A number of enemy planes were believed destroyed and runways and hangars damaged.
 Fast American fighter planes es- corted the Allied bombers.
 A communique issued by Prime Minister John Curtin said Allied fighter planes intercepted the Japa- nese planes which sought to make their 23rd raid on Port Moresby, New Guinea, yesterday and dam aged, several with machine gun fire. One Allied plane was shot down and another was missing. One pilot was saved.
 Tn their attack on New Britain island yesterday the Allied planes scored heavily.
 They made direct hits on big Japanese ships and damaged others with near misses at Rabaul, the principal harbor.
 The big Rabual Airdrame was att tackled ferociously and Japanese grounded planes were bombed and machine gunned.
 Then the Allied planes swept down on the island to attack the enemy airdrome at Gasmata, a big base for fighter planes.
 A British army lieutenant now in Australia who conducted esponage behind the Japanese lines in Malaya said today that between 60 and 70 per cent of the Japanese forces used fn the campaign around Singa- pore were Chinese brought from FormoSa and Hainan Islands and the Canton area of Southern China

Azad had talked to Johnson be- fore he and Nehru saw Cripps. Johnson had conferred twice yes- terday with the Nationalist leaders.
 Cripps was understood to have given the Nationalist leaders this morning the answer of the British war cabinet to their demands for control of Indian defense, as part of their acceptance of Britain's of- fer of postwar dominion status for India.
 Well informed quarters said Nehru was urgently seeking a set- clement. ..
 "He says that if agreement is reached he will go where the Jap- anese try to invade India and fight to death" a close friend said.
 But it was said that Nehru ap- peared anxious after the Cripp; conference and this strengthened belief that he had appealed tC Johnson for American aid in reach ing an agreement.
 Nationalist leaders, increasingly peSsimistic, called an urgent meet ing of the working committee o1 the all-Tndia Congress.
 Bombay Gets Warning
 Bombay, April 7-(UP)-Air raid warnings sounded in Madras City today between 4 8. m. and 6 a. m.
 It was the first air raid warning sounded in Madras, large Indian city on the Bay of Bengal coast about 250 miles north of Ceylon, and fol- lowed bombings yesterday of two other Indian coastal cities.
 CThe dispatch did not reveal whether any bombs had been dropped on Madras or whether any hostile planes were sighted).
 Japanese bombs fell on India proper for the first time yesterday when carrier-based planes attacked Vizagapatam and Cocanada, north of Madras.
 Madras was prepared for today's warning, blackoutS having been or dered beginning Sunday for the Madras fortress area.
 Madras is the chief city of the Madras presidency, situated on an open shore. The city is built around an ancient fortress, Fort Saint George, garrisoned by native and British troops. It is city of hand some buildings and has population of nearly 100000.
 Britain May Compromise
 London, April 7-(UP)-The wal cabinet was reported today to be prepared to compromise on Indian demands for control of home de- fense, but 1t was acknowledged that hopes were not high for breaking the present deadlock in negotiations.
 A final decision on the mission ot Sir Stafford Cripps m India may come in the next 48 hours, it was understood.
 Responsible sources said that the indications at the moment pointed toward failure of the mission, ap- parently because or dispute over de- mandS of the All-India Congress (majority) party for control of In- dia's defense.
 The war cabinet Is prepared to grant the Indians "a certain limited degree of representation" in defense matters, 1t was said, but is opposed to yielding full control on all mat ters except strategy as demanded by the congress.
 Furthermore, 1t was said that the cabinet also doubted whether India could select a defense minister who would be acceptable to all Indian political factions.

conferred with Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur today.
 The two men, according to the communique, discussed at length the considerable part" which Ii Dutch forces are expecaed to play as the war continues in the south western Pacific.
 Hardest of All Tests
 There was no effort, meanwhile, to conceal the fact that Vain wright's forces on Bataan face the hardest tests since the war started four months ago.
 Lieut.. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, conqueror of Malaya and Singa- pore, is throwing everything he can find at them waves of assault troops from his more than 100000 man army, dive bombers, artillery, tanks, and sea-borne 75 nm. guns.
 In two previous communiqueS tce War Department had announced that the enemy had made some gains" against the right center of Wainwright's stubbornly resisting front forces. There was no indica- ton, however, of a major break through.
 Before Drive Began
 Before the current drive began two weeks ago today, Wainwright's lines stretched from the vicinity of Abucay, the right anchor on Manila bay, across the 13-mile peninsula to the neighborhood of Moron on the China sea. Last week, the Jap anese punched at the left center side, getting nowhere and taking heavy losses.
 But beginning late Saturday, the drive shifted to the right center, which apparently the Japanese now think is the weak spot. Since then, they have been throwing waves of specially trained assault troops in- to the effort to break through. They have been supported by almost con- stant blasting from dive bomberS field artillery, and even tanks.
 Yamashita also attempted to land barge-borne troops from the east ern side on the Manila bay to com- plete a pincer movement. Vain wright's sharp-shooting beach de- lenders smashed two of these in- vasion tests.
