Argentine Request
On Envoy's Immunity
No Action Indicated
On Protection Waiver
Asked by Court
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 26.-Tine
German government acknoWl-
edged through it's Embassy today
the receipt of the Argentine
Supreme Courts request that
Capt. Dietrich Niebuhr, Nazi
Naval and Air Attache here,
waive diplomatic immunity pro-
tecting him from appearing in
court to answer charges of es-
pionage which resulted in the
sinking of several merchant
ships in the Atlantic.
The German disclosure did not in
dicate whether the request would be
needed. Capt. Niebuhr figures in
charges before the court as a sus-
pected recipient of information al
legedly delivered to the German
Embassy concerning the movements
of ships which called at Argentine
ports and later were sunk.
Presumably, if the German gov
ernment refuses the request, the Ar
gentine governments only. alterna-
tive would be to declare Capt. Me
buhr persona non grata. Argentina
and Chile are the only two Latin
American countries still keeping
diplomatic relations with Germany.
1t also was disclosed that the con-
gressional committee investigating
anti-Argentine activities was pre-
pairing legislation aimed at prevent
ing funds from being made available
by foreign representatives to Argen-
tine publications deemed by the
committee to be in "the service of
Nazi-Fascism or Falangism."

U. 5. Flyers Bag
Z Japs to0ne
On China Front
Don't Need Road
To Supply Air Force,
Says ChennuuIt Aide
By NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Back from the air front in
China, Col. Merriam c. Cooper,
chief of staff to Brig. Gen. Claire
L. Chennault, the former Flying
Tiger, disclosed today that men,
bers Of the China Air Task Force
are shooting down IL Jap planes
for every one they lose in
combat.
American air power is on the
"up and up" from China to North
Africa, the veteran flyer said on his
return to Washington after visiting
various fronts around the world
Col. Cooper declared an Allied air
force large enough to whip the
Japs over China could be maintained
easily without the necessity of re-
taking the Burma road by being
supplied by air cargo planes.
Land Forces Need Burma Road.
That is the situation affecting the
aerial warfare, he pointed out, but
in the case of supplying the Allied
land forces. he said the reopening
of the Burma road would be a great
help
The combat score of the China
task force is considerably less than
the 20-1 maintained by the famous
American volunteer group which
Gen. Chennault commanded in
China before its transition into the
American volunteer group which
i,,l
fronts our air power is on the up
and up and given the planes need
ed it could clean up the job in
China in quick time
I'VE still need more stuff, and I
think we are going to get it, Gen.
Chennault's chief of staff said.
With our P-40s we can lick any
thing the Japs have in the air now
Air Units Growing Stronger.
Col. Cooper explained that by his
praise of the P-40 he did not mean
the China air task force would not
be glad to get any other planes
Referring to the air fronts around
the world he has recently visited,

looking better everywhere
I'VE are beginning to be an eff
cient fighting force and as a Nation
we are doing hell of a good job"
he said. That is my fleeting i'm
pression-that everything is running
smoothly and we seem to be doing
better in every theater of war
Cites Plane Development.
The development of air transpor-
tation, Col. Cooper said, has been
one of the great achievements of
this war and is really improving by
leaps and bounds A year from
now, he predicted, it will seem fan
tastic when the record of air trans
portation is realized.
Col Cooper, who mentioned only
incidentally his own part in the
activities of the China task force,
spoke repeatedly and enthusi-
astically about the amazing record
and personality of Gen. Chennault.
I'm very happy in that theater
of war and I am anxious to get
back he added.
