Massing Of Jap Ships
Reported Growing
North Of Darwin
Two More Vessels in
Convoy Off Wewok
Blasted by Allies
EE the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
AUSTRALIA, March 15.-Growins
concentrations Of japanese shipping
at island bases in the Banda Sea
area within 500 miles of Darwin
Australia, were reported today as
Gen. Douglas MacArthurs head
quarters announced that Allied air
men had blasted two more ships in
an enemy convoy off Wewak, New
Guinea.
A communique said the japanese
are maSsing both transports and
supply ships in the Amboina (Am-
bon) -Dobo area northwest of New
Guinea and declared that enemy
ground forces there are being re-
inforced. New airfields also are
being constructed in that sector by
the Japanese, the bulletin said.
The island of Amboina, former
Dutch possession and once the site
of the most important naval bases
IN the Netherlands Indies, is about
600 miles northwest of Darwin.
Dobo, southeast of Amboina, is
about 100 miles nearer Darwin.
Warnings Emphasized.
Spokesmen at Allied headquarters
refused to comment on the possible
significance Of this Japanese ac-
tivity, but the bare statement in
the communiQue added emphasis to
recent official warnings that the
enemy must not be underrated in
this theater.
The japanese, meanwhile, were
paying heavy price for their latest
attempt to reinforce their garrisonS
IN Northeastern New Guinea. The
two ships reported blasted off
WeWak raised to four the number
struck by Allied airmen in a run
ming attack on an eight-ship convoy
which began Saturday in stormy
weather.
Of the vessels hit yesterday, one
was described as a large destroyer
and the other as a 7000-ton cargo
ship. A direct hit was scored with
a 500-pound bomb on the bow of
the destroyer and the ship was
strafed from low level, the bulletin
said.
The communQue also announced
that an 8000-ton transport previously
reported bombed had later been seen
10 explode and when last sighted
was blazing from stem to stern The
other ship previously reported hit,
identified as a tanker, was said to
have disappeared
Wewak Apparent Destination.
Despite these losses it was be-
lieved here that at least a part of
the japanese convoy-consisting
originally of five merchant ships
and tAree deStroyers-had a good
chance OF reaching Wewak, which,
an Allied spokesman said, appar-
emily is its destination.
1t was obvious that Allied airmen
were having a harder time knock
ing out this convoy than the %
ship armada which was DESTROYED
two weeks ago en- route to Lac,
some 400 miles south of Wewak.
There were two reasons for this.
IN the nrSt place the japanese nave
had the weather in their favor
this time In the second place,
by playing cautious and taking a
northern route, their ships are
nearly 500 miles from the nearest
main bomber base of the Allies.
This means that only the heaviest
Allied bombers can be employed,
whereas all types of aircraft par
ticipated in the attack on the pre-
vious convoy.
In addition to attacking the con-
voy Allied planes yesterday bombed
Dill, Timor; Ubili. Gasmata and
Cape Gloucester, New Britain. and
Madang Airport in New Guinea,
Allied headquarters said.

then immunity before entrance in

I'm addition, before you send your
child to school you are urged to take
the youngster to your physician or
to the nearest clinic for a complete
physical examination. You will want
to know that he Is in good physical
condition and can compete with the
other children on equal terms. II the
check-up reveals any weakness or de-
feet there i'll be time to build up his
general health, correct defects or
treat the unfavorable condition be-
fore September. Don't let your child
start his school life with any avoid
able handicap.
Finally, don't let the summers
pleasures cause accidental damage
to the health of your preschool
child, or children of any age. In par
ticular, as the Fourth of July APP
proaches remember that fireworks
are a very real danger and cause a
large number of avoidable accidents
every year. Don't let your child ham
die them! 1t is not only against the
law of our State to sell them; 1t il
against all the laws of good judg-
ment and common sense to permit
children to risk the serious accidents
that fireworks can cause"

is YOUR CHILD READY?

''Be sure that pour preschoOl child
will be ready to go to school in Sep
tember," DR.. r. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department of Health
urges the parents of all youngsters
who will respond to the school bells
for the first time next fall. IF you
have not already done so, start now
to prepare your child for the added
strain OF school life.
First and foremost is the need
for vaccination against smallpox
which is compulsory in Maryland. Al
though the law provides that parents
and physicians should see that child
rem are vaccinated before they are
one year of age, the matter is entire
ly in the hands of the parents and
their doctors during the earliest
years of life. At school age, how
ever, vaccination becmoes absolutely
necessary; because the school law
prohibits the enrolment in a public
school of any child who has not
been protected against smallpox
Most private and parochial schools
also require vaccination. If your
child has not been vaecinated have
it done Immediately, so that the scar
will be completely healed before
school opens.
"Immunization against diphtheria
is also highly desirable" DR.. Riley
believes. This disease, which causes
serious illness and deaths among
young children, -can be prevented
with toxoid. If your child has never
been protected by all means give him
this safeguard against dreaded dis
ease. Even though he may have been
immunized as baby, doctors and
health officers usually recommend
an extra dose Of toxoid to streng-
