my government on closer military,

complete agreement was reached

Soong acknowledged that the

held in the most friendly manner.
The matter, he said, was an inter-

In discussing what he called
'L'Affaire Stilwell," Soong also
denied that there had been any
disagreement between Chungking
and Stilwen over the campaign in
Burma. Soong said the dislike be-

no fire equipment on the scene.
The blaze was so hot that citizens
were forced to stay 50 to rs yards

Press war correspondent, was told
by returning fliers the 10 mile
long convoy was attacked from tree
top level.
I'VE couldn't miss" said Maj.
Thomas B. Mcguire, of San An
tonic, Tex.
"Japs who drove into the bitches
were riddled and we could see the
bodies blown into the air. The road
was so narrow and the swamp so
bad there was no place for the
trucks and equipment to 60 so we
had field day, drilling everything
along the road and pausing only
to gain few feet altitude so we
could nose down again.
Mcguire called the attack, which
was led by Maj. Wallace Jordan,
of $50 orizaba, Long Beach, Calf,
a "strafer's dream"
In all the 10 miles under attack
the road made only one sharp turn.
Troops, trucks, light, medium and
heavy tanks and field artillery felt
the fury of the air attack. The
convoy was spotted despite the fact
the enemy made extensive efforts
to camouflage it. r.

WEATHER CAUSES
LITTLE CONCERN

RALEIGH, March 20. - Up - A
greater part of eastern North
Carolina continued today in the
grip of cold wave accompanied
by considerable rain, but state ag-
riculture officials discounted the
possibility of it interfering with
crops already in the ground.
Continued wet weather during
recent weeks has retarded planting
OF early truck crops in all areas,
and peach and apple trees still are
net il full bloom. these officials
said. They indicated that the fruit
crop was getting eff to an excel
lent start.
However, some concern was be-
ing expi essed in the extreme
southeastern area, embracing New
Hanover, Fender, Columbus and
Brunswick counties, where truck
crop planting already has been de-
layed three weeks or more. The
present rainy spell, the officials
said, probably would further de-
lay planting.
