WASHINGTON, April Up
The lightning has gone out of
Japan's lightning war after four
months Of spectacular advances,
military men agreed today
They expect further enemy
gains and possibly such a bold
new stroke as an attack on 81
IBERIA. But concentrations of AL
lied air power in Australia and
India have Stemmed the main
Japanese onrush.
Here is the view of military
and naval men as the war enters
its fifth month:
The United Nations are APP
preaching, if they have not act
Ually attained, numerical air
plane equality with Japan in the
Australia and BurmaIndia thea
terS.
SMASH THRUST
This was shown March IL in
the smashing of the first big in
vaSion thrust at Australia before
it could even get under way
from New Guinea. 1t was shown
again last weekend when a
Pearl Harbor' attack on Cey-
lon became bitter Japanese
defeat.
Over the western Pacific as a
whole, however, Japan still has
superiority Of plane strength and
may have it for months. Thus if
she makes an about drive in
any particular region she UNI
doubtedly can win control of the
air there.
JAP PILOTS GOOD
Airmen recently returned
from the fighting zones report
that the best japanese pursuit
/ plane, the zero fighter" can
outmaneuver the American P-4C
/ type, although the P-40 compen-
safes for this with greater armor
protection and leak-proof gaso,
line tanks.
Japanese pilots are excellent
| fliers, but American pilots have
been able to Outright them re.
peatedly, even when greatly out
numbered.
Unfortunately one theater IL
which the japanese have under
taken a determined campaign i:
one where there is no prospect
of aerial reinforcements-tht
Philippines.
If the Japanese decide to take
Bataan at any cost they cal
bring such ruthless pressure
against General Wainwright
forces that eventually he mus
fall back on the fortress of Cor
regidor. No one knows how Ions
Corregidor can hold out undeI
heavy enemy bombardment.

City Hotels Enjoy
Easter Business
Jewish People Here

With the opening Of the rcgu-
lar bathing season at the local
health resorts still nearly two
months away, local hotels cater
ing TO Jewish people enjoyed a
little pre- season business over
Easter and say thai it will con-
tinuc until the end of the Pass
over holidays which end Thurs
day.
At the Olympia hotel, whose
Vcranda has been filled with
visitors, Mrs. Samuel Kracmcr
said hat opening the hotel for
the Passover for those holidays
had attracted patrons from a
number of cities including De-
troit, Chicago, and Minneapolis.
Seventy five per cent of the
guests. she estimated, are De
troitcrs.
The season here usually begins
about June l5 and extends until

British Fleet Sweeps Sea

Indian Ocean Squodrons Seek
Invading japanese Units

here Of the size Of the enemy
fleet which had attacked mer-
chant ships in the bay and fro
which airplanes had teen launch
ed TO bomb Vizagapatam and Co
canada on he Indian coast.
Defense forces were alert along
the entire coast of the bay from
Ccylon TO Calcutta.
SEEK CARRIERS
A communique Of the India
Burma command reported that
since early yesterday il had been
apparent that ar enemy naval
force, including an aircraft car
rier, had been oper. ting In the
Bay of Bengal.
1t was admitted that both sur
face and aircraft had attacked
merchantmen in the bay, that
Vizagapatam, $50 les north OF
Ccylon, lad been bombed twice
and that Coca ada, 80 miles
south of Vizagapatam, had been
attacked also.
The communique said small
m b Of japanese planes
bombed Vizagapatam in the
morning and in the afternoon,
causing 81 e h t damage to the
Harbor area. S & h casualties
were inflicted in the Cocanada
raid.
There were strong implications
that the Japanese attacks, insofar
as the bombing of Inuian cities
was concerned, we're as much po-
litiCal as military.
Only a short while before the
announcements Of the raids, Jap
ancSe Premier Hideki TOTO had
said India would have to suffer
calamiticS if British troops re
manned in control Of India.
However, there may have been
an element of revenge for the hui
initiating defeat Of japanese air
fleet which had lost ST out of rs
planes damaged or destroyed in
an attack on CeylOn.

Cultural practices followed by
these tomato producers were those
recommended by the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service.
Two of the winners plowed under
their fertilizer application. This is
a newer practice in applying fer
tilizer that is giving good results
in many instances where large
amounts of fertilizers are used.
McGinnis side-dressed his tomato
acreage at the third cultivation
with 200 pounds of muriate of pot
