British Artillery and Planes
Hammer Western Burma

By the Associated Press.
NEW DELHI, India, May IL
British artillery she,led japanese
troops on the Buthedaung- Maung-
daw road in Western Burma and
Raj fighter planes machine-gunned
enemy positions in the area yester-
day, a British communique said to-
day.
The British have acknowledged
their withdrawal from Ruthdaung in
the face Of inflltering japanese
forces.
(The Toxic radio said today the
japanese troops had advanced to
a point II miles from the India
border and were ''mopping up
enemy remnants. The broad
cast was recorded by Reuters.)
Raj bombers, without any loss,
struck the railway station and am
munition dumps at Wuntho, obiec-
tives at Alianmyo and at Minbya
and the railroad yards at Prone.
Three large fires, one of them Wis
ible for so miles, were set in the
Prone railway area, the commu-
niQue said.

Roosevelt Talk
With Churchill
Reported Planned
~ the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 11.-under the
headline, Churchill and F. D. R. May
Meet" Lord Beaverbrook's Evening
Standard today quoted a New York
Herald Tribune dispatch from Wash
ington which said observers believed
that Allied successes in North Africa
would be followed by American and
British conferences to determine
where the Axis will be hit next.
No other newspaper in London
printed such a dispatch, and there
was no official comment on it what
soever.
Gn Washington no official
comment was available)
The logic of holding another
American and British conference to
bring Allied strategy up to date with
the latest military developments is
widely accepted in London.
The war review in the House of
Commons was taken as indicating
the British government regarded the
fall of Tunis and Bizerte as the end
of a definite phase in the campaign
against the Axis.

Allied Planes Resume
Day Raids on Europe
Bombers and Fighters
Smash Across Channel
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 1.-THE sky
over the English Channel was
filled today with two-way traffic
during a day of sharp activity in
which Allied bombers and fight
ers battered the continent anew
and the Germans raided an East
Anglican town where many girls
were killed when an inn was hit.
Big Allied formations swung
across the Channel soon after noon
and for some time; many more
squadrons headed toward France.
The raiders streamed back across
the Channel from the direction of
Boulogne shortly after noon.
Accompanying the air activity
was short burst of Smelling by Ger
man big guns on the Channel be-
tween Bouiogne and Calais.
Fifteen German Focke-Wulf fight
er-bombers raided an East Anglican
town early today, dropping eX-
plosiyes, machine cunning buses
and dropping a bomb on a building
housing a number of Auxiliary Ter
ritorial Service girls, where II bodies
later were recovered.
At least seven others-five civil
ians and two soldiers-were killed.
The raid was of the usual recent
hit-run type, with the Nazi planes
scooting quickly back out to sea fol-
lowing the foray.

come more alarming as they were
passed from person to person.
Here are some of the wild and
utterly untrue stories that came into
newspaper offices or which reached
the ears of officials and other people
concerned.
1t was rumored that all the banks
in the city were to be robbed.
1t was rumored that the parade of
last Friday night was to become in
stead a full-fedged invasion of the
Capital.
1t was rumored that gang of 300
"roughnecks" had been imported
from New York to invade downtown
theaters and hotels.
Dozens of Variations.
1t was rumored that buses had
been turned over and that Fort
Belvoir had Cancelled all leaves of
Negro soldiers because there was
going to be rioting in Washington.
There were dozens of variations.
Not one of these stories was true.
Not one had even the slightest
foundation in fact. Police officers
were in touch with every part of
the city at all times, and not the
faintest sign of anything unusual,
except the rumors themselves, was
reported. The Star checked many
reports and found them without
foundation. Yet the stories grew and
spread alarmingly.
They became so ludricous and fan
tastic that the department of social

Knox Sees Easing
OF Supply Problem
Declares Shortcut to
Middle East Will Be Boon

The Allies obviously will have
tremendous advantage in supplying
United Nations forces in the Middle
East when Axis troops are expelled
from TuniSia, Secretary of the Navy
Knox told his press conference to-
day.
The opening up Of the Mediter-
ranean will shorten tremendously
the route which vessels now have to
take to the Middle East-around
the Cape of Good Hope, he said.
However, Mr.. Knox said he did
not know when the Allies would be
able to operate the much-shortened
Mediterranean route. If the Axis
forces continue to hold the north
shore of the Mediterranean, it would
be necessary for the United Nations
to provide an effective air umbrella
for ships operating along this route,
he declared. He said German planes
on Sicily and Crete would undoubt-
edly attempt to stop the operation Of
Allied supply ships through this
shortened route, but they will be
unable to prevent it.
He pointed out that the occupa-
ton of Sicily by the Allies would
be tremendous asset.
The Secretary offered the Nays
congratulations to the Army on its
magnificent victory in Tunisia and
to the British navy and American
and British air forces for the effec-
tive Wav in which thew cut off SllD-
