ABOARD THE GRIPSHOLM,
Nov. 27-America's rapidly grow
ing air power in the Pacific, India
and China is Japan's greatest
and graveSt defensive military
problem as the Pacific conflict
approaches its third year.
With every month Japan is feel
ing this ever increasing pressure
of American airpower on her far
flung defensive front line bases.
According 10 well informed
sources when I sailed from
Shanghai, this looming shadow
from the sky colorS the thought
and influences the plans of the
imperial Japanese army, navy
and general stats more than any
other one military factor.
The realization, said To be bit
ter but stoically accepted as an
unalterable fact, is that Japan
can neither check our growing
airpower in the Pacific area, nor
parallel il with equality in pro-
duction because of Americas far
greater resources.

On the success or failure of
this, which is the view held in
high quarters / was informed,
will depend whether or not the
peak of the Pacific war will be
reached in 1914.
All things considered, from the
japanese viewpoint, there is
large section of military opinion
in Japan, according 10 these
sources. which holds that the
third year of war will not mark
the decisive point Of the conflict.
The Pacific theater OF war, as
seen by the japanese. is a vast
stage. in a roughly shaped irregu-
lar triangle, with dramatic scenes
played in several far apart
regions.
Japan proper, with Sakhalin and
the Kuriles as the apex, the Solo
mons as the left lower angle, and
thence a haseline nearly 1000
miles westward to the tip of
Sumatra in the Indian Ocean,
where the right angle begins and
runs through the japanese occu-
pied Andaman Islands in the Gulf
of Bengal to take in the Burma
section, Southeastern China, in

which are vital TO Japans ability

II Billions Cut
From Estimated

War Spending TO Fall
5000. 900 900 and Tax
income TO Rise 3

WASHINGTON, Nov. p (UP)
The budget bureau announced
tonight that re-eXaminatiOn Of the
entire war program, after nearly
two years of hostilitieS, has made
it possible to lop $1,000. 100000
from the estimated federal deficit
for fiscal 1914.
Budget Director Harold d,
Smith predicted that 1914 war
spending would be $4,000, 900, 1000
short of the previously estimated
S100000,000, and that govern
ment receipts would be $1,000
100000 more than the $3S 0OO,-
100000 formerly anticipated.
REVISED ESTIMATES
The revised estimates set ft1ff
war spending at 500 .000, 100000
and expected receipts at $4,000
100000. The receipts estimate in
cluded only those expected under
present tax laws and did not take
INTO account any possible increases
under the tax bill passed this week
by the House.
Smith said the prospective def
icit had decreased from the Au-
gust estimate of S6S, 100000 g44
10 an estimate of about S57 ,000.-
100000. AS a result, he added. the
public debt will rise 10 about
$194 900, 100000 by next June 80
instead of the previously esti-
mated SCOT. 600. 00ft001 plus.

ment of Teaching, is also given at
the following universities: Brown,
Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Radcliffe
College, Rochester and Michigan.
Sophomores and seniors at the col
lege of arts and sciences and all
undergraduate and graduate stu
dents at the school Of social sciences
and public affairs will take the ex-
aminations this week. Results of
the examinations taken by sopho-
mores are used in guidance and in

DR.. Edward w. Engel, director of
the examination at American, said
that the examination provides a
student with an inventory of what
he knows. A sophomore discovers
his weaknesses by checking his pro-
file chart. A really good junior
learns that he is ahead, sometimes
far ahead, of the average senior.
Similarly, he discovers the progress
he is making in his major field of
study"
The examination questions are
chosen Systematically from the main
fields of organized knowledge. The
student is expected to answer as
much as he can.

D. {. Expected 10 Fix
Policy This Week on
Wooden Fire Escapes
offieioIs Are Completing
New Set Of Regulations
For War Emergency

Action by the Commissioners Is
expected this week on a suggestion
from the War Production Board
that District regulations be modi-
fed to permit erection of wooden fire
escapes in some cases as a tempo
rary means of complying with the
Fire Escape Act
Such cases would apply to build
ings three stories high which are
being used as boarding, rooming
lodging and apartment houses.
The suggestion was made by some
WPB officials after that agency had
found it would be unable, due to
war demands, to approve high pri-
critics for more than very limited
number Of steel fire escapes and
could not guarantee provision of
fire gongs or fire extinguishers for
oyercrowded housing units.
The Commissioners were moved
by this report, last week, to post
pone their determination to prose-
cute landlords who continued to
operate without licenses, denied for
failures to comply with existing fire
safety regulations.
District officials now are placing
the finishing touches on proposed
new fire safety rules, under the
enabling act which became effective
last December "a. Under this pro-
cedure and the suggestions made by
WPB representatives, certain stop
gap" rules are being considered for
the period Of the war emergency.
Col. Joseph D. Arthur. jr., assist
ant engineer commissioner, con-
suited yesterday with Vernon West,
assistant corporation counsel, over
possible emergency rules. Their
recommendations are expected to
go to the city heads for action on
policy this week.
Col. Arthur said officials of the
Bureau Of Standards had reported
that wooden fire escapes would have
a practical usage, in view of the
shortage of steel. Previously, he had
been advised that wooden structures
willsnot ignite under heat far higher
than the human being can stand,
although it was agreed there were
other limitations as to the use of
wooden fire escapes.

ID. c. Children Honor Troops on Nav Doy

May Day festivities for District
children were highlighted yesterday
when three youngsters from the
Georgetown Playground hung a
basket Of May Day flowers on the
door of the White House.
The basket had been made by
children at the playground and was
decorated with five stars, four for
the Presidents sons who are in the
service and one for the President
as Commander-in-Chief of the
Army and Navy.
The children who took part in
the ceremony at the White House
are Nancy N. Binn, 7, and her sis
ter Catherine, 8, of 1912 Volta place
N. w., and Carolyn D. Rollison, 9,
1921 Thirty-third street N. w. The
children were accompanied by their
playground director, Miss Ora
Thomas.
May Day baskets were distributed
by children of the various municipal
Fairgrounds at the doors of neigh
bors whose sons, husbands and
sweethearts are serving with the
armed forces.
In the Northeast section the first
home to be decorated with the home
made paper baskets filled with wild
flowers and those from the chill
dren's own yards was that of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles E. Jones, 2917
Twentieth street NE, who have
four sons in the service, three in
the Navy and one in the Army.
Children of that district met at
the Langdon Recreation Center,
Eighteenth and Franklin streets
NE, with their flower baskets and
from there were directed to the
various neighborhood communities
to distribute the flowers. The May
Day celebrants ranged in age from
2 to IA years.
After the basket ceremony, the
children met again at the Recrea-
tion Center for a hike to Barnett
Hill where they had a picnic. The
May Day project was sponsored by
the District Recreation Department.
Groups of youngsters met at all
the other municipal Fairgrounds and
recreation centers for the May Day
celebration. Excursion trips and
picnics were carried out at each Of
the city's Fairgrounds.

the lack of enterprise or the bold
ness Of our troops. They have been
giving good account of themselves

The American big guns lombard
ing Mateur-known to be packed
with German troops and supplies
were believed to be firing from a
distance of IA or Is miles. Stung
by the long-range pounding, the
Germans replied with their own
howitzers and the thunderous roafs
of the artillery duel made the earth
shake. The Germans dispatched Is
or 20 fighter planes in an unsuccess-
ful effort to locate and silence the
American guns.

report that Col. Gen. Jurgen Won
Arnim had issued an order of
the day to his troops in which
he commanded: Forward, what
ever the cost. Behind you is the

Despite the pounding from all
sides and from the air, there was yet
no indication that the enemy was
weakening in his defense or was
planning to evacuate. On the con-
trary, the Germans were resisting
tenaciously. They were suffering
heavy losses in their counterattacks,
but they also were infiicting con-
siderable losses on the Allies.

The giant bombers push on re-
lentlessly through fighter packs in
close formation-sometim the
wings of one plane being within 10
feet of another-because their Job
is to drop bombs and only incident

Eighth Air Force seeks to minimize

Of the gradually lessening blows

on June ii when more than 400
four engined American bombers

Senators Chandler, Democrat, of
Kentucky, and Lodge, Republican,
of Massachusetts,, practically had
their bags packed today for an
around world inspection trip of
American armed forces.
Chairman Reynolds of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee yester-
day appointed them as special
committee after receipt of letter
from Gen. George c. Marshall,
Army chief of staff. offering to pro-
vide aerial transportation for two
Senators on trip that first would
take them to the Southwest Pacific
and later to North Africa and
England.
Thus Senators Chandler and
Lodge appeared to have the inside
track in a long time dispute with
members of the Truman Committee
as to which group should make the
contemplated inspection trip
The two Senators face one more
hurdle, however. Gen. Marshall
specified that Majority Leader
Barkley and Minority Leader Nc
Nary should pick the travellers.
Senator McNary approved the
choice Of Senator Lodge, but Sen
ator Barkley has delayed a decision
until he returns from a rest at Hot
Springs, Ark.
And that may be two weeks"
