French Subdued
In 48-Hour Attack
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE
United Press stan Correspondent


LONDON, May British forces, cap
turing Diego Suarez town and Antsirane
naval base smashed Vichy resistance in
Madagascar today and a British fleet
steamed toward Diego Suarez Bay for q
triumphal entry this afternoon.
The victory came in dramatic night attack on
Antsirane by British Commands and parachutists
while royal marines made diversional attack. One
of the greatest naval bases in the world dominating
Indian Ocean trade routes and Allied supply lines
thus fell after 48-hour lightning campaign.
French Commanders Surrender
The French naval and military commanders
surrendered and the terms of capitulation were
being arranged
Resistance by small, isolated pockets of vichy
troops, their backs to the sea, near Antsrane was
expected to end at any moment.
Berlin radio broadcast, quoting dispatches
from Vichy this afternoon, said French forces had
withdrawn south of Diego Suarez and taken up new
positions to defend the main area of Madagascar
The British occupation has been directed only
at the small northernmost tip of the 980-mile-long
island.
A joint communique of the admiralty and war
office, and official statements by British spokesman
ANNOUNCED the victory while Prime Minister
Churchill jubantly told cheering House of Com.
mons that the British fleet would enter Diego Suarez
Bay and harbor today.
Churchill said the campaign which had taken only 48
hours to win had taken three months to prepare.
Plans drawn up in minute detail he revealed

Tokyo Warned
Of New Raids
Yonks to Return
Air Chief Soys

RANDOLPH FIELD, Tex,
Dec. 14-(P)-Tokyo today had
the grim promise of the chief
of Americas pilots that United
States bombers would return
"again and again" to strike at
the heart of Nippon's island en-
pire-along with the disquieting
news that Uncle Sam has some
secret weapons of the air that
will deal paralyzing blows to
our enemies"
Speaking to graduating class
es of four Army flying schools
Randolph, Kelly, Brooks and
Hondo Fields-Lt. General Hen
ry H. Arnold said Sunday that
"for once" Tokyo was right in
warning the japanese people
that more American bomber
raids could be expected before
the war is over.
eyes, we are coming and we
hope to make it soon, and when
we do come it will be in large
numbers-and we won't stop
with one visit. We will return
again and again." he said.
Stating that 1--WE have Sec
ret weapon or two up our aerial
sleeves" Arnold lent emphasis
to the warning by disclosing that
parachute bombs, which ex-
plode with deadly effectiveness
just above the ground, were first
developed and used by the U. S.
Army Air Forces.
He did not divulge what type
of weapons they might be, but
proceeded to predict that "en-
tirely new 'battle-wagons' are
on the way" and reminded the
graduating airmen that he had
already said the present day big
bombers were perhaps the last
of the small bombers."
Detailing the rapid develop
ment of modern aerial fighting
equipment, Arnold said that the
United States production, lust
approaching" its peak, alone is
more than the combined output
of Germany and Japan who
"have passed their peak"
Operating in eight combat
zones, Army filters to date have
sunk 81 enemy ships, scored Fl
believed sunk and hit and dam
aged 159 of all types, he said.
From Feb. l to Dec. 5, he added,
they "have definitely destroyed
928 enemy planes and probably
destroyed 276 in aerial combat"
with a loss of 100 planes, plus
1O4 missing.
In addition to the threat OF
coming raids on Tokyo. the Air
Force Chief warned the other
two Axis powers that within a
few months, the Germans, the
Italians, will be feeling the i'm
pact of these hundreds of planes
dropping their bombs, not on
one or two nights week but
every day and every night in
the week.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l4-(R
Reorganization of the Office
of Price Administration and of
Congress itself, and abolition of
the National Youth Administra-
ton and the Farm Security Ad-
ministration were listed by
House Republican leaders today
as among their first detectives
in the 18th Congress.
They said they expected that
many Democrats, lukewarm to-
ward the Roosevelt administra-
ton, would support at least part
of their program.
Reorganization of Congress
sional procedure was placed high
on the agenda by Representative
Dirksen of Illinois, long a domi-
nant voice in House Republican
circles.
Il intend to introduce at the
very start of the new Congress
next month a resolution that /
hope will lead to streamlining
of congressional procedure, "
DirkSen said.
His resolution will call for
creation of a special committee
to study the entire subject and
TO make recommendations for
more efficient operation. Dirk
sen has advocated establishment
of joint congressional war
committee to coordinate the
work now done by more than
half a dozen Senate and House
committees.
mot since the days Of An
drew jackson has there been any
substantial change in congress
sional procedure" Dirksen said.
