fKenney Wants Jap Planes
Outnumbered Five to One

SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA
April IA Delayed @.-Lt. Gen
George C. Kenney. speaking for
publication today for the first time
since he returned from his mission
to Washington, told reporters, I'll
be pleased when we have the Jap
planes outnumbered five to one"
Fighters and bombers hummed
overhead as he talked with reporters
at his advanced headquarters, meet
ing questions with a calm, sturdy,
feet-o -the-ground manner.
An air raid alarm sounded just
as he concluded with the state
ment:
There is no indication now that
the Jap wants to pick up his bags
and 60 back to Japan" The Allied
air commander strolled out to look
for the raiders, but they never
showed up.
In daily combat" Gen. Kenney
said, I'VE are doing pretty we'll, but
the Jap has too many airplanes
around to suit me- I don't like to be
outnumbered. When we shoot down
a plane the Jap replaces it in few
days. When he shoots down one
of ours. the replacement has to
come a long way and it takes time.
1--WE are forced to shoot down four
or five to one to keep the score
straight. That's a pretty heavy bur-
den on the boys. I'd like to tell
them they could shoot down one for
one and still be all right"

Taft declared, with the efforts of

In regard to provisions for med

the students in each high school at
$1.25 each and for training addi-

declared:

better If it were done on a volun-

schools subject to lot of orders
from Washington
Senator Taft added that he had
. feeling that if the Federal Gov
ernment started providing such
services in wartime. it would be
called upon to continue the help
in peacetime.
With some evidence of heat, Mr.
'Studebaker retorted that "some very

Some damage has been done to
the shelters. but serious damage was
not expected" the Prime Minister
said. The object of the attacks was
to cause dislocation in the repair,
transport and power facilities afford
ed by this base to U-boats and, in
this respect. a considerable measure
of success has been achieved"
Meanwhile, the German air force
struck back at Britain with night
attacks on East Anglia and towns
in the Thames estuary causing
brief alert in London-its first night
alert since March 8. Some damage
and casualties were caused by the
raiders, although no bombs fell in
the capital.
Three of the German planes were
reported destroyed over Britain and
another over its base in France.
Last nights raid-the first on
Stuttgart since the night of March
l1-followed by "a hours powerful
attack on the italian naval base of
Spezia. Stuttgart is the home of
important war plants, including fac
tories for the manufacture of plane,
tank and submarine motors and
parts.

Planes roaring across the Chan
mel toward the continent last night
could be heard for an hour and a
half, Channel coast residents said,
indicating the raid was made in
great force.
The Thursday German high COM
mand communique, broadcast by the
Berlin radio and recorded by the
Associated Press. said of the air war:
Apart from harrasSing attacks on
German territory, enemy air forma-
tions raided Stuttgart last night.
Bombs were dropped on residential
quarters and the population suffered
losses Night fighters and anti-air-
craft artillery brought down at least
o British bombers. Another five
enemy planes were destroyed over
the coastal district of occupied
western territory
The war bulletin added that "a
strong formation" of heavy German
bombers carried out a heavy attack
last night against the industrial
town of Chelmsford northeast of
London.

warning Tuesday by Gen. Sir Thorn
as A. Blamey, Australian commander
of Allied ground forces in the South
west Pacific, and another yesterday
by Gen. Macarthur himself that the
Japanese were attempting to wrest
aerial superiority from the Allies in
the Southwest Pacific.
Gen. Blamey said the japanese
had 100000 first-line troops in the
area around Australia if they de-
cided to attempt an invasion. Sec
retary of the Navy Knox then said
the japanese didn't have sufficient
concentration OF naval strength at
present to attempt an invasion OF
Australia.
Assault Started Sunday.
Yesterdays Macarthur statement,
although not given as an answer to
Secretary Knox, declared the Jap
anese didn't need heavy naval
concentration at present, but, II
they were able to obtain parity or
control in the air, naval concentra-
tions would quickly follow.
The Japanese assault from the
air, starting Sunday, was being
pushed with big concentrations of
fighter-escorted bombers. A heavy
toll of the raiders had been exacted
by Allied defenses before yester-
days attack, when 80 planes were
believed to have been downed
Fifteen of the raiders actually
were seen to crash, Gen Mac
Arthur's communique said, while Is
others were so badly damaged they
probably could not return to their
base.
japanese bombs started fires on
two small Allied vessels in the har-
Dor, but the flames were controlled
quickly, and a third vessel was
heavily hit and forced onto the
beach, it was announced. Damage
to beach installations was said to
have been negligible.
The attackers, it was estimated, in
cluded As medium and dive bombers
with a fighter escort. Allied fighter
losses were moderate, headquarters
said.
The first attack this week oc-
Cured Sunday at Orc Bay, on the
east coast of Papua. and "a of the
japanese fleet of As fighters and
bombers were knocked out of action.
The next day some 100 japanese
planes struck at Port Moresby, main
Allied base on the southeast coast
of New Guinea. and 81 enemy planes
were claimed as victims Port Mores-
by is 225 miles northwest of Milne
Bay, which is on the tip of the
Papuan Peninsula dominating the
Coral Sea. Allied land and sea
forces elected a japanese holding
force from the bay last autumn.
A special communique. unusual
for Gen. MacArthur's headquarters,
announced the raid early yesterday,
but gave no details. Later it was
learned that Australians flying P-40s
and American pilots in P-38 planes,
aided by anti-aircraft batteries, &C
complished the dispersal of the
Japanese air armada.
Allied bombers returned to Hansa
Bay on the North New Guinea coast
and found one 6,000-ton cargo YES
self left from a previously attacked
enemy convoy Three direct hits at
low level set it ablaze and two hours
afterward it was seen sinking by
the stern, headquarters said.
The force also raked loaded
barges and anti-aircraft positions
and strafed the airfield at Nubia
without enemy interception.
Ardromes at Cape Gloucester and
Gasmata in New Britain were
among night bombing targets for
Allied heavy and medium, units,
and shipping northwest of Babar
Island in the 'Arafura Sea and in
the harbor at Kaimana, New
Guinea, felt new Allied blows.
