High Official Tells
Effect of Changing
Cycle on Planes

SOM WHERE IN AUS
.TRALIA, April 10 QNS)-Al-
most as rapidly as America builds
new combat aircraft, the Pacific
War-if only temporarily-will
Ioutdate them or force modihca-
tons never before imagined.
Similarly, the Pacific War. as
it IS being fought in New Guinea
and elsewhere in Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's command, today will
bring 10 the forefront aircraft
previously regarded as obsolete or
Inon-tactical.
These statements were made to-
day by high air officials who. in
reviewing the Pacific air war and
describing the rotation of air
power and future phases Of the
far eastern struggle, voiced views
held by many officers responsible
for revolutionary tactics already
employed in this area.
PLANES OUTDATED
planes which, six or even
three months ago, were indis-
pensable 10 our very life have
been outdated by the swiftly
changing cycle of the war. Six
months from now, or perhaps
two years from now. they will

while they are encumbrances
with which we never thought

ago"
These outdated aircraft. an air
officer continued, include ARA
cobra and Warhawk fighters.

saving Port Moresby and later dis
tinguiShed themselves in the Buna
campaign They also included GER

being utilized.
Explaining that Lightning fight

into the iong-ranEe category, the
officer asserted that they and the
Boeing Flying FortreSses, espe-
cially stripped for dual-purpose
long-range attacks. have changed
the whole complexion Of the south

Navy Girls Appeal
Jim Grow Bus Case

WASHLNGTON-The convic-
ton of Carolyn K. johnson and
Mildred I. Turpin, Navy De-
partment clerks, on a charge
of violating the Virginia Jim
crow law on a bus was appealed
here this week by James H.
Raby of Alexandria, Va, rep
resenting the NAACP.
The arrest of Misses Turpin
and Johnson at the instigation
of the Arlington Fairfax bus
driver was declared to be a Vi
olation of an agreement which
tn NAACP has with the bus
line for the transportation in
non-segregated seats of govern
ment workers to federal build
ings in nearby Virginia.
Miss Johnson and Miss Tur-
pin were arrested shortly after
midnight, January 7, for failure
to observe the Arlington-F Fair
fax bus jim-crow seating ar
rangemnt. The bus driver had
demanded that the girls move
to the seats in the rear to which
they had answered that as gov
eminent employees it was their
right to sit anywhere on the bus
but they would get off entirely
if the driver would refund their
fare. Shortly thereafter four
Virginia police officers arrived
in a police car, boarded the bus,
and arrested the two clerks.
The girls were not permitted
to telephone their relatives or
friends and were obliged to
spend the night in cell. Ar
raigned in court next morning,
the girls were fined IS and costs.
