council, emphasized the advis
bility Of keeping the airport d
en-, and stressed the portanc6@
of a civil air patrol.
Incoming councilman, Robert
Evans said after the meeting,
"it would look peculiar to have
one of the best civilian defense
organizations in the state as far
as the ground is concerned, and
leave the aid wide open"
Between 20 and 25 Newark
pilots have sufficient hours in
the air to qualify for civil air
patrol duties, according to In
structor Walters. These men
have already taken the necessary
steps required by the govern
ment to be ready for duty, he
said.
Councilman-elect Harry Payne
emphasized the necessity Of i'm
mediate purchase of a siren so
that in case Of a blackout, ex-
plosion or disaster of any kind
general alarm could be
given in order that various units
of the defense organization could
function without loss of time.
Councilman James +. Neigh
Dor, chairman of the finance
committee, told the group the
only manner in which money
could be raised was by a bond
issue. 1t is generally acknow-
lodged that added equipment and
personnel in both the police and
fire departments is necessity.

Earl Walters, who leased the
Municipal airport the past sum-
mer explained the situation at
the special meeting. He cited
the fact that Newark was in the
No. s civil air patrol district,
and that he and his pilots and
ships could render a very valu-
able service in the interest of
civilian defense, if proper
guards were hired. Walters, pi-

approximately 25 pilots who
could qualify for the patrol. He

LONDON, May 6. CUP)-British
Commando and parachute troops
have fought 20 miles through the
tip of northern Madagascar, in
sweltering heat and against con-
stantly stiffening Vichy resistance,
British military dispatches said to-
day.
1t was indicated here, as Vichy
dispatches reported, that the Brit
ish forces had driven to Diego
Suarez and the adjoining Antsirane
naval base and were now Storming

The British picked forces had
made steady advances since their

said. In reply to questions regard
ing Vichy reports that they had
reached Diego Suarez and Antsi-
rane these quarters replied: I'VE
have got fairly close Resistance
has stiffened as operations have
proceeded. That was to be expected.
SUCCESS EXPECTED
Operations are continuing this
morning. An advance of about 20
miles was made in great heat, and
it is not unreasonable that Diego
Suarez and AntSirane were not
taken last night"
Official circles, confident of the
success of the British move against
northern Madagascar, revealed that
it was planned to make the Diego
Suarez-Antsirane area a major I'm
tied Nations Indian ocean base.
Officials declined to say whether
it was planned to occupy, by separ-
ate sea-borne troop landings, other
bases in Madagascar including the
valuable Majunga naval station on
the west coast.
It was planned, however as soon
as positions had been consolidated
in the northern area, to start eX-
panding the harbor and airdrome
facilities, in order that United Ma
tons forces may make it base for
big operations in defending the In
dian ocean trade routes against a
Japanese foray.
PATROL POSSIBLE
Official circles said it was hoped
Britain would be able to obtain the
cooperation of the pro Allied
Frenchmen in the island for their
work.
From Madagascar the Allies can
patrol the Mozambique channel,
which separates the island from
