London. May y6.-UP)-Interest is focusing increasingly on the Medi- eefTanean stepping-Stone islands, some of which the Allies are ex- pected to clear out before launch ing their anticipated assault on the soft underbelly of the Axis.
 The chief stepping stones include Sicily, which bristles with Axis air bases and is regarded as the main concentration point for Axis air power in the central Mediter- ranean. A mere glance at the map makes 1t appear almost inevitable that the Allies will attack Sicily before invading the toe of the Ital- ian boot.
 Another stepping stone is Pantel- leria, midway between Cape Bon and Sicily and the main protection point in Axis efforts to control traf- f1c through the narrow Sicily Strait However, Pantelleria never has been regarded as important to the Axis as, for instance, Malta has been to the Allies.
 Another and even smaller island lS LdIIllJeuuSd, WHICH lleS dDOuC 70 miles to the east of the halfway point between Sousse and Sfax on the Tunisian coast. However, there is no apparent necessity to clear out Lampedusa before alta cking Sicily as 1t never has bulked large in tactical operations in that region.
 Sardinia is another major island objective and the concentrated AL lied bombardment of Cagliari shows its importance as a reinforcement station for the Axis. However, it would be wholly possible for the AL lies to sidestep Sardinia during the initial phase of the coming attack and concentrate instead on Pantel- leria and Sicily.
 Farther east lies the whole con- plex of island groups which presum- ably must be cleared out before the Allies invade Greece, Jugoslavia or Bulgaria.
 The closest Axis targets for the Allies are Crete and the Dodecanese

2lO2 R. Street, Washington, D. C. Who Is Mysterious John Monroe'?
-BY DREW PEARSON- Author of The Washington Merry Go Round

that he had changed his name to John Monroe. At that time he had a plan to sell uniforms to the Army in conjunction with some of his relatives who are textile manufac- turers. He wanted the help of Lou isiana Congressman in putting the idea across.
 Since coming to Washington, Monroe has not been backward about his achievements in negotiat- ing war contracts. He has given the impression that he can sell tanks, guns almost at will. One of his deals in 1941 was the sale of 5000 Spring field rifles and 1,00a0o0 rounds of ammunition to the Dominican Re- publican.
 Affiliations and Connections
 Monroe also has had some affil- iations with Frank Celesti, Demo- cratic candidate for Mayor of Lake wood, Ohio. They attempted to get a contract for the Tampa Marine Company to build boats for the Navy, but wanted a check for $2,50O in advance. The Tampa Company however, was only willing to give them an advance check payable to the Navy
 Monroe also has been shown around Washington by E. T. Hunter of Columbia Aircraft Industries, who took him to the Greek Legation and also to the British Purchasing Com mission.
 A. Bennett Fey, who testified that he had paid $500 to Monroes hostess, Mrs. Eula Smith for "re- search, is also close to Monroe But the brains behind Monrce's op- erations is Sam Kaplan of Vestry of the important dinners where army officers are present. He is us- ually referred to as Uncle Sam"
 One army officer seen at Monroe's and Mrs. Smiths parties is Col. James McInerney, specialist on Army tanks. At one of Monroe's poker parties Representative John Mccormack, of Massachusetts, House Democratic leader, was pres ent, together with It. Coy. Homer Casteel of Mississippi, Colonel Olm- stead and George Knox of the Navy.
 The mysterious Perkins Founda- tion about which M oroe vas ques- tioned by the House Military Affairs Committee, was first organized in Boston in 1887 to handle real estate deals, then received in 1940 to place contracts, commissions, etc., for IS manufacturing firms.
 It's directors include Robert T. P. Storer, Boston investment banker; Donald G. Stork, and Joseph Dris- coll. Monroe is their chief contact in Washington and is reported to have handled various war contracts for them.
 How much he is paid Is not known, but the rent on the house at 1101 R street is $500 monthly. His entertainment bills cannot be meagre.
 Monroe gives the impression that he is on the inside of inside Wash ington. One statement he made to friends that Vice-chairman Eber- stadt of WIPE would soon take OCT Donald Nelson's job. This, he said, came straight from the White House. (Nelson later fired Eber- stadt). Monroe also says the Fenta- gon Building has seen roofs becouse of confusion ,mong contractors who neer consulted with each other. Copyright, 1943, by nited Feature

FLOTILLA TEST
 PROVES SUCCESS

Camp Edwards, Mass, May 6. (UP) The seaworthiness of vehicle carrying landing barges was estab- lished today after the first success ful test of a f1otilla of 38 tank lighters and staff boats over 2,l70- mile stretch of water.
 The engineer amphibian com mand convoy landed at Camp Ed wards last night after a trip from the west coast of Florida where the men had undergone a rigorous training program.
 During the 26-day trip, the barges crossed 132 miles of open sea and were manned by 303 officers and men. The convoy covered from , to 200 miles day under coast guard escort.
 The men were saddle-brown from exposure, but healthy and in eX- cellent spirits. The landing craft which looked like ancient Roman galleys were equipped with wooden hunks and decked over with light boards and roofing paper.

exceedingly difficult.
 They're pretty fine students, learning rapidly" says Ulsterman William Foster, the professional who teaches them. Lieut. Alan c. Dou- bleday, of Milburn, N. J., Marine officer directing the band, says the neophyte pipers get only mild rib- ping from their colleagues. The scquawks against the Sequeals are all good-natured.
 No one yet knows whether Marine Corps headquarters in Washington will authorize kilts for the new pipe band. But the Marines ignore that possibility. They'll learn to play now and worry about uniforms later.
 The bagpipes they play, unlike those in most pipe band, have no history. They were bought out of the Recreation and Entertainment Funds of the Londonderry Naval Base.
 Perhaps the greatest compliment the Marine pipers have received came from Doubleday. He says that, contrary to public opinion in Am erica, 1t IS possible to tell when bagpipe is playing a tune.

DEWEY ATTACKS BLACK MARKETS
Connecticut Asked tO Join Fight to Eliminate H.
 legal Practices

Albany, N Y, My 6-UP)-- Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York today urged chief executives of five bordering states to join in the fight against black market" practices.
 In letters to Governors William H. Wills of Vermont, Leverett Sal tonSall of Massachusetts, Raymond E. Baldwin of Connecticut, Edward H. Martin of Pennsylvania, and Charles Edison of New Jersey, Dewey called attention to the recent New York state War Council action promulgating orders and regulations of the Office of Price Administra- tion as the law of New York state.
 The councils action, embodied in resolution, gives state courts jur- iSdiction to deal with violators of the OPA price ceilings and permits local law enforcement agencies to apprehend persons charged with in- fractions of the law
 "As you know" Dewey wrote the governors, price ceilings must be universally enforced to be effective in the fight against imitation. With only federal enforcement in some areas, and both federal and state enforcement in other areas, supplies may be diverted through illegal channels to places where enforce ment is lax.
 T am writing you, therefore, in the hope that strict enforcement by the states adjoining New York can be procured. Without it," Dewey wrote, 'our people will suffer, sup plies customarily coming to New York state will be diverted and a genera, breakdown will ensue"

group. Crete is the main stepping stone in the Axis air ferry system for bringing planes south through the Balkans and then west through the Mediterranean to the central Mediterranean theater. It also is formidable obstacle athwart any invasion route to Greece and Jugo- slavia.
 Crete lies about 25O miles from the nearest Allied points of attack along the north Libyan coast, which is beyond the extreme operating range for most fighter aircraft un- less they are equipped with special detachable gasoline tanks.
 Just east of Crete lies another major Allied target-the Dodecanese group Nad fears of an Allied at- tack on the DodecaneSe are em- phasized by Germany's action in taking over the military command of the islands from the Italians. The Dodecanese also are about 250 miles from the nearest Allied base, Cy.- prus.

 The biggest air and naval base is believed to be Leros, about 90 miles north of Rhodes. Both Leros and Stampalia are equipped with sea- plane bases and Leros also has deep water harbor believed suitable for submarine and E-boat opera tions.

WAR STEPS UP
 MAP PRINTING BY U. s. NAVY
BY WILLIAM IT. ADAMS United Press Stan Correspondent

Washington, May 6. CUP) It takes millions of maps to fight a war.
 The men who fight on land and sea and in the air must know often in matter of minutes or even SecondS-where the enemy is or where their allies are.
 For that reason the Navy is nov printing maps and charts at the rate of 24000,000 maps year, or more than 50 times the number of maps 1t printed before the war.
 This volume of publishing has taxed the Photographic office of the Navy to the limit, but when the office moves to its new quarters at Suitland, Md, even this staggering output of geographical information is expected to be increased. 5000 of Enemy Areas
 On the 13,o00,0O0 maps and charts printed by the Navy during the fiscal year ended last June 30 about 5000 were maps of enemy in- stallation and coastal areas. Even before the war started charts were being made of all section of the world, nd for this purpose the de- partment took over several ships from the Coast and Geodetic Sur vey.
 Many areas which had been poorly surveyed were charted again and existing maps improved. The results of this work are now in- corporated in what is known as the Air Pilot Series, and are looSeleai i bound.
 Supplied to both Army and Navy flyers, they are designed for "ap- proach and landing" operations in totally unfamiliar country. They are now in use in the South Pacific and it is hoped that they will ulti- mately be made available for the entire globe.
 New Bases Raised Need Many new maps were necessary when the United States acquired new foreign bases for which exist ing charts were not satisfactory. Chart rooms which atre illumi- ! mated with red light are supplied with maps printed in grey and ma genta. These night vision charts are most effective under red lighting which is necessary at sea because officers emerging onto the deck from chart rooms illuminated with ordinary light are temporarily blinded.
 Issuance of ocean pilot charts to lifeboats was begun at the start of thte war, and thier installation in lifeboatS is now regulated by law. They show currents, prevailing winds, sailing routes, storm tracks and iceberg locations.
 In areas where Navy and Mer- chant Marine pilots are still forced to rely upon British Admiralty charts it is planned to make these services independent of foreign sources by supply them. with maps of American manufacture.

The whole business was the idea of Capt. B. L. Kirkman of Nash vile, Tenn, former Navy command ant of the Derry base. He took it to Col. Lucian w. Burnham, com manding officer of the Marine Bar racks, who said "Okay'' if any Marines showed an interest in squeezing shrills and drones out of a tartan-covered bladder.
 They did. About 50 volunteered for the 12 pipers' positions in the band None of them had ever played the pipes before and none knew any Scottish ancestors. There are some Irish Americans, and the Irish swing a mean chaunter themselves. But many of them were musicians before, on other instruments, and they didn't seem to find the pipes
