For New Drive
BY J. REILLY o'sULLIvAN,

WITH THE AMERICAN AIR
FORCE IN CHINA, April 10 de
layeO.-Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chen
nault expressed the belief today
that the Japanese were concentrat-
ing troops in French Indo-China,
Malaga and Thailand for a renewed
offensive in the Southwest Pacific
or in Burma.
The commander of the 14th United
States Army Air Force said in an
interview he had been studying re-
ports that the japanese were moving
units from Manchuria and Northern
China.
Il have no expert opinion on the
disposition of these troops" he said,
but I believe they are being sent
to Indo- China, Thailand and Ma
laya for use in the Southwest Pacific
or Burma, as required.
The japanese in that area appear
to be on the offensive alert. They
are on the defensive now, but they
could turn to the offensive"

mission of vital information from
neutral countries to the Axis.
The "eyes and ears" statement
was made in New York Sunday by
Ramon Lavalle, until recently Ar
gentine consular attache in Toxic.
Mr.. Lavalle said he had quit his
country's foreign service in protest
against Argentina's neutrality, add
ing that he was informed the Jap

D. Budget Measure
81 Million
Is Passed by House
Men in EOS Joining
Police Force to Avoid
Draft, Member Charges

The House this afternoon, with
most of its 435 members absent,
passed and sent to the Senate a
bill providing $54,789,434 to
finance the District government
for the fiscal year beginning
July l.
The House did not change the
total amount recommended by it's
Appropriation Committee. The only
alteration concerned the method to
be followed in auditing accounts of
the Office of Recorder of Deeds.
The bill carries $1,516,397 less than
the amount allowed the District for
its operations during the present
fiscal year, ending June 30. The
amount also is S220,284 less than
the total recommended by the Com
missioners The cuts were made
chiefly in recommendation for in
creased personnel.
Draft Evasion Charge Aired.
Debate on the bill lasted 2 hours
and 10 minutes, during which
charges were made that men in their
early 20s are avoiding the draft by
serving on Washington police force
and that a bread monopoly" exists
here.
Representative Allen, Democrat,
of Louisiana declared he had seen
and talked with young fellows"
on the police force who had no
more right, to be here and secure
than other boys of their own age"
Il assumed that these policemen
I've seen in their 20s have been de-
ferred from the draft" he declared.
Il think older men should be given
the jobs and let the younger men
go to fight"
Chairman Mahon of the Appro-
priations Subcommittee which wrote
the bill explained that the Commas
sioners exercised superhuman effort
to keep the younger policemen from
going into the armed services. Even
so, he declared, the ranks have been
greatly depleted, especially at time
when every effort is being made to
make Washington as safe as possible
from criminal element.
Bread Monopoly Charged.
Charges of a bread monopoly"
came from Representative Stefan,
Republican, of Nebraska. He said
he had been told by baker in Vir-
