Africa Considered
As Refugee Haven
Later Session, However,
May Make Decision
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 23.-
British and American delegates to
the conference here on the Euro
pean refugee problem were under
stood today to be considering Africa
as a major possibility for providing
haven for European refugees, but it
appeared that final decisions might
be left to a later conference.
Although no details were an
nounced, progress was reported
toward formulation of a program
for consideration at a future date.
Military considerations were be-
lieved to have eliminated any posi-
bility of negotiations with the Ger
man Government for the release of
Jewish populations from German
occupied territory. Another private
proposal that Germans interned in
Allied countries be exchanged for
Jews under Nazi control appeared
to have been excluded from further
discussion.
1t was made clear at the outset of
the conference that the blockade
against the Axis would not be lifted
to permit food to reach oppressed
people unable to leave Europe.
Both delegations have been reti-
cent about discussing positive relief
steps and this was taken as an in
dication that these proposals would
be left to an intergovernmental
committee for decision.
1t was regarded as almost certain
that a reorganization committee
would meet at an early date to act
on recommendations of the Ber-
muda conference

India MosIem Pdrty
Opens Convention in
Walled City Of Delhi
NotionoIists at Capital
Study InvoIidotion Of
Defense Regulation
By the Associated Press.

bs LIE hSSOCldteu PFeSS.
DELHI, India, April 23.-This
walled capital of Mohammedanisn
in India was host today to thou
sands of delegates to the 30th annual
convention of the All-India Moslem
League.
The body, asserting that it repre-
sents most of India's 90,OO0,00O Mos
lens, long has campaigned for a
separate Moslem state, furnishing
another problem to the British ad-
ministration of India, which has
been complicated by demands of the
All-India Congress Party for Indian
independence.
The Moelem national flag was to
be raised at the opening session by
Mahomed Ali Jinnah. Moslem
League leader who is considered the
most powerful Indian politician now
remaining out of jail
Three days of speechmaking we're
scheduled to follow Jinnah's keynote
address.
Gandhi's Release Unlikely.
Meanwhile, at the Indian capital
In New Delhi few miles south. In
dian Nationalists eagerly studied the
overthrow of rule 26 of the India
Defense Act by a decision of Chief
Justice Maurice GWyer.
He held that MohandaS K. Gandhi
and more than 5000 other Congress
leaders had been imprisoned illegally
under the act, declaring the meas
ure went beyond the powers which
the Legislature thought fit to confer
on the central government"
Informed observers said, however,
that Lord Linlithgow, the Viveroy
could put the matter right" by SIM
ply issuing an ordinance, which he
has the power to do under war regu-
lations.
There was no indication yet that
Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
or other leaders would be released
soon or granted trials. Some of the
imprisoned men had been given
trials but not all.
Modelled After English Act.
The defense of India act was
passed by the Viceroy in council and
made an act by the Legislature at
the beginning of the war.
Justice Gwyer, who retires from
the bench at the end of the current
term, said the defense act rule in
question was modelled after a similar
act in England where the number
of arrests under it was so small the
Secretary of State could personally
consider each case.
The India rule. he said, had en-
abled the government to detain any
person, about whom it need have
no suspicious. reasonable or unrea-
sonable, that he was about to act in
any prejudicial manner"
Justice Gwyer said he hoped his
decision would insure that hereafter
greater care would be taken in ex-
ercising power that caused persons
to be detained without legal war
rant.

Mitchells, escorted by lightnings,

Thirty-four were left burning on

five others were shot down. The
cost was three Allied fighters MISS

the weeks total OF enemy planes

Yank Successes
While the current fighting in the

/. The never definite estimate of
how many single and childless mar
ried men who will become available
each month as six-month occupa-

Like Sight-Seers
I came ashore in a landing barge
with 20 men. We had wondered
for a week under what circum-
stances we would arrive on this
beach-but none of us thought we
simply would run the boat into the
sand and walk up to the encamp-
ment like sight-seers.
DO you suppose this Is trip"
queried 1t. Bernard Tabachnik of
Philadelphia. Maybe they are
hiding In their damned tunnels and
will come sWarming out In a suicide
charge like they did on Attu."
We went up the beach and fol-
lowed crooked alley in among the
rows Of slatternly huts which looked
more like gypsy shacks built on a
garbage dump than barracks and
offices.
The japanese left variety of
canned goods, dried peas and beans,
considerable coffee, saki and Japa-
nese beer Most of the storehouses
were nearly depleted and almost
everything showed the pinch OF the
United States blockade as we'll as
incessant bombing.
Superficial Damage
They apparently attempted to dis
able all motor vehicles. But in many
cases the damage was only super
fetal. Mechanics easily repaired
dozens OF Japanese jeeps, trucks and
motorcycles. 1t. Robert Cadigan
OF Boston was kept busy supervls-
ing the repair OF minor damage to
Japanese tanks
The Japanese telephones were OF
a French type, highly ornamented
with chromium fittings, but our Of
flcers said they were impractical
for field work. Our radio experts
had the same to say about the
japanese radio equipment.
One type of Japanese automobile
was two-cylinder job which OBJ
viously lacked power for any prac-
tical use espe cially on the type of
roads the japanese we're able to
build on Kiska which were little
better than goat trails.
Enemy Flown
American and Canadian troops
had spent 48 hours searching the
fog-hung hills for an enemy who
wasn't there. They had expected
battle. There was none and so
far there have been only three cas-
ualties, all slight.
In this main garrison point. the
enemy left many evidences of his
hasty departure. In bomb-scarrcd
dug-outs. mess kits half filled with
boiled rice, picked radishes, and
seaweed were on the foot-high plank
tables. Guns emplaced in the flank
ing hills were freshly oiled. The
beaches retailed fresh foot prints.
The garrison power plant was in
tact and had been recently used.
The japanese had been well dug
for defense. Their gun emplace-
ments dominated the seat approach
es and were well camouflaged. There
was an abundance of motors, field
pieces, and machine guns In the
booty.

tore down some so buildings be-
tween July 20 and Aug. 2.
I'VE have little doubt that the
enemy used this lumber to builc
additional barges and took engine;
from his trucks to power them" he
said.
Five Knots Speed
The barges probably moved al
about five knots an hour, which in
dicated many round trips were made
through the black nights and fog
shrouded days of late July and early
August to eVacuate q garrison esti-
mated to have numbered 1880 to
II 90 men at its maximum strength
The preparations for the capture
of Kiska began Aug. &c. 1912, when
a handful of American soldiers
landed on a foggy windsWept beach
of Adak island. Within nine months
great air and naval operating base
had come ito being.
Aug. 10, the great task force as
sembled in Adak Harbor began
quietly to slip out to sea. 1t was by
all odds the largest ever assembled
for action against the Japanese
anywhere, any time. With It's fight
ing ships, transports, and amphibi-
Gus personnel, 1t was at least two
and a half times larger than the one
which captured Attul only 90 days
earlier.
Fleet Was Assembling
I arrived by plane from Kodak
Island 1000 miles northwest toward
the Alaskan mainland, while the
fleet still was assembling We wheel
ed around mountainous head
land and Adak Harbor was spread
out below. 1 took snap tally OF
ships and couldn't believe my own
count, although l knew I had been
able TO total only fraction of the
battleShips, cruisers, destroyers, tank
carriers, oil tankers, and miscellan-
eous craft down below.
Shoreside on the teeming base
were quarters for over $4,000 men,
well built roads, Wharves, port faci-
lities, camp for prisoners. theaters,
Libraries, laundries, power plants,
stores, fuel, ammunition and supply
dumps, radio stations, airplanes,
and storage facilities, along with a
10000 foot runway over what few
months ago had been a lake.
The island was electric with ac-
tivity. Amphibious tanks and trucks
loaded with men carrying full Ar
tic field equipment, command cars,
and jeeps by the score, rolled stead
lily down the roads to loading points.
Interspersed nth the wheeled traf-
fic were marching Americans, fit
and eager for action, and tanned,
bereted Canadians by the thousands.
The Armada had been assemb-
ling for more than a month. One
ship had turned In an outstanding
performance at Casablanca. A brand
new division Of destroyers awaited
initial action. Battle craft had come
up from the Solomons, from Pearl
Harbor, from Seattle. San Francisco,
San Pedro and San Diego.

Significance Of Announcement
1t was pointed out that Litvinov
had been in Moscow for two months
but that Stain had waited until the
climax of the Quebec conference to
announce that he would not return
to Washington.
There was Litvinov's own back
ground and his removal from i'm
portant Soviet posts In the past
prior to major changes In Soviet
Foreign policy. He was foreign COM
miSsar and Russia's representative
at Geneva where he espoused the
cause Of collective security until re-
placed by v. M. Molotov just before
Stain signed a non aggression pact
with Germany.
He came to the United States in
1888 to negotiate American recogni-
ton Of the Soviet Union, and then
returned on Pearl Harbor day to
represent his country during a year
and half OF its most critical his
tory.
Ambassadorial Changes
The change In ambassadors here
and In London was the last Of a
series Of unexplained moves within
few months that continues to
shroud Soviet American relations In
mystery. First was Litvinov's de-
parture from Washington last May,
at about the time that President
Roosevelt sent Joseph E. Davies on
his second mission to Moscow.
Since then there was set up In
Moscow a Free German" commit
tee among German refugees and
refugees and prisoners. 1t issued a
manifesto to Germans urging them
to get out Of the war which was
widely interpreted--rightly or wrong
ly--as bid for separate peace
with Russia inasmuch as the COM
mittee was sponsored by Moscow.
Another recent action which
stirred speculation was the disso-
luton Of tire International COMM
tern, the agency whose purpose it
was to spread international COM
munism.
