anceS Listed In Answer TO Critics
The record of the State Highway
Department in returning unspent
appropriations was defended by
President Pro Tenn Clayton A
Bunting last week as the Senate
passed the beach and strand bill
to provide $4,000 for the protec-
tion of the beach and strand al
Bethany Beach from erosion. Ac-
tion was taken under suspension
of the rules.
The bill originally provided for
100000 but a House amendment
offered by Representative H. H.
Lawson reduced the amount to $10,-
600.
He explained that during the dis
cussiOn on the bill when it was
originally passed by the Senate on
February he had pointed out that
any part of the amount which was
not spent would be returned. Some
one had questioned the past rec
ord of the State Highway Depart
ment in returning money at that
time. he said.
Funds Returned
He presented the following rec
ord of the department in returning
unspent moneys:
Maintenance of Indian River In
let. 1882 appropriation. 100000.
spent $32 1856; reverted, ST.
5O1.34.
Acquisition of land for Lewes
Pier, 1892. appropriation, 100000.

verted. $359.92.
Jetties at Bethany Beach. 1887,
appropriation, S35,000. spent $22,-
100. reverted $l292220.
In addition several other apprO-
priations for various work were
shown in the report.
a companion bill offered by Sen
atOr John r. Kitchens for similar
work at Rchoboth Beach and also
amended in the House TO reduce
the amount from $30.000 to $l0,000
was approved.

the following table has been pre-

will direct your attention to it

Nippon General Admits Japanese Air Force
 Inferior 10 Allies
(By Associated Press)

Japan admitted today that its vaunted air force is inferior to the Allies aerial battle armor.
 Broadcasting from Tokyo, Lieu tenant General Uchida of the 1m- perial Jap Army, acknowledged that the Nipponese fliers lack the technical knowledge exhibited by Allied pilots, technicians and de- signers, but claimed that Jap spiritual strength" is superior to that of the Americans. He did not say of what value this spiritual superiority is when a Flying Fort ress is dropping bombs on a Nip outpost
 The Office of War Information identified General Uchida as direc- tor of the aeronautical affairs sec tion of the Jap military army di- vision.
 Uchida, appearing on a program to bolster greater efforts in Jap war production, declared that Ja- pan must attack the American mainland via the air. He said the Pacific war, which he termed an unparalleled war of years" soon will enter the critical phase which will determine whether Japan is "to eat or be eaten"

All owners or part owners of motor vessels under 65 feet in length are invited to a meeting at the Legion Dugout at 8 o'clock tonight when Watterworth will explain the Aux Hilary plan and the opportunity it offers civilian boatmen to serve their country both during working hours and in their leisure time.

As soon as a flotllla is organized, it elects it's own offi- cers and establishes it's own work ing program; full cooperation is extended by the Coast Guard, of course, but each flotilla operates under it's own officers
 Requirements Tor full member ship in the Auxiliary are simple. Any vessel owner or part-oWner who is Is years of age or older and an American citizen may join a flotilla.

 On the recommendation of Gen. Henry s. Aurand, commander Of the Sixth Service Command, the first 1-B boys marched into Camp Mccoy about nine months ago.

The W ashingto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON.-More and more people on Capitol Hill and in the Government are now wondering how much faith they can place in the Navy's official announcements Beginning with the announcement of losses at Pearl Harbor and com ing down to Knox's recent unsuc cessful argument with the Truman Committee over submarine losses the unfortunate effect has been to shake public confidence in Navy communiques.
 Latest incident was he speech of Capt. Leland Lovett, usually ef- ficient chief of Navy Press Rela- tions, at the National Newspaper Promotion Association in New York in which he told how the Navy was using helicopters to combat the submarine.
 Capt. Lovett went into some de- tail regarding the use of helicop- ters over Atlantic sealanes. How e,er. careful check in Army Navy and Maritime circles discloses that not one helicopter is in use on U. s. ships today.
 Furthermore, the platform on one ship from which a helicopter ex- perment will De made, has mol yet been completed The experi- inent should take place within two weeks

Prospects of Last Stand in Rock Ribbed Moun-

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, May ll.-Gen- eral Dwight Eisenhower's Head quarters announced today the Bri- tish armor unit forced a complete break through on the neck of Cap Bon peninsula, closing that blind alley at it's mouth and pocketing the enemy forces which still are re- sisting fiercely to the south and west
 Advancing from the Hamman Lif area on the north side of the Cap Bon neck, the British First Army crossed the base of the peninsula to the outskirts of Hanrnnnet on the south side and took Soliman. Grombalia, and Menzel Bou zelfa lat the center, the eommunique said.
 A Renters news agency dispatch from Allied headquarters said the British entered Hammamet early this morning.
 Scorched by Allied fire from land. sea and air, the remnants of fhe German Italian army. crowded on the peninsula, appeared to have lest it's nerve after this bold and swift stroke by British armor. Pros- poets of a last stand in the moun- tain-ribbed peninsula is diminish ing and the opposition of these shared Axis troops is slight, the dispatch said The trapped soldiers are inclined to surrender at the first opportunity.
 AS British naval forces secured adjacent waters in what was de- scribed as "mopping up" of small enemy parties which attempted dis organized escapes. Allied aviation pilots who continued to sweep the beaches reported little activity and said the cornered enemy apparent iy has recognized the futility of att 1 empting to get away.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Among the records in the War Department is one file that is causing more well -darneds" from oldtime Army men than any in the cab inets. It's the file on the training record of the 1-Bs.
 The way I get it. it became ap- parent only a few months after Pearl Harbor that the strict phys ical requirements of the Army (and Navy) were knocking out more men than they could spare. After all, they argued, there should be some place they could use young fellows who didn't quite fit into the bluebook of military physical re- quirements
 A survey of Army jobs, from com- bat pilot down to counter and desk jobs, showed that one-fourth of the work could be handled easily by men who are sub standard" on physical examination records That means that in an army of 10000 900, at least 2,500.000 wouldn't have to -ee the mark physically. And. if the Army could find a way of get ting these boys in, there would be just that many family men. farmers and war plant workers who could be spared.
