Allied reports from all quar-
ters pictured the japanese today
as taking a beating on the FIVE
fronts trimming their inflated
empire.
The japanese invasion of India
was being chopped to pieces. Their
offensive in North China was losing
its steam. 1t. Gen. Joseph w. Still
well maintained his steady advance
in Burma and in the Southwest and
Central Pacific zones it was all take
and no give for the japanese.
Around Kohima, the Indian city
guarding the Assam Bengal railway
supplying Gen. Stilwell,s troops.
Allied forces were reported liquidat-
ing enemy strong points. Southeast
Asia headquarters also said that
British and Indian troops were ad-
vancing southeast of Kohima, while
a superior Allied air arm struck
hard in support of ground opera
tions. The general success of the
British counteroffensive seemed
about to wipe out Japanese hopes
OF seizing Kohima before the heavy
rains come in three weeks.
Threat to Honan Reduced.
In China enemy troops were
thrown out of Hulao Pass with
heavy casualties, Chungking re-
ported, and the threat to Loyang in
Northern Honan was thereby re-
duced. Two other japanese columns
were forced to halt and retreat, the
Chinese high command announced,
and generally the situation was
better. Like captured Chenghsien
to the east, Loyang is point on a
rail-highway line leading to Chung
king, the wartime capital
Gen. StilWell's forces took two
more villages, putting his Chinese
within 8 or 10 miles of Kamaing,
Mogaung Valley enemy base. Amer
lean bombers and fighters set large
fires in Myitkyina, key to reopening
the Burma Road, which is Gen.
StilWelps major objective.
New Guinea Drive Ends.
The Hollandia- -Aitape invasion
was finished. From the new bases
in New Guinea Allied planes took
off for raids against Sorong on
Western New Guinea, at Babo to
the south, at WeWak's often-hit air.
dromes and at Rabaul and Kavieng.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz main
tanned his aerial offensive with
strikes against Guam-taken from
the United States in the first month
OF War-and Truk and Ponape in
the Caroline Islands. The Guam
raid, on April "a, was the first by
land-based Army and Navy bomb
ers based in the MarShalls.
There was no substantiation of a
Berlin report reputedly out of Tokyo
that japanese submarines had tor
pedoed and damaged two American
aircraft carriers at or "eaSt of the
Marshalls."

Bradley Wants Report
0fWeaIthy Americans
In Mexico Probed
Michigan Legislator
Says international Set
Enriched by Leose-Lend
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Bradley, Re
publican, of Michigan disclosed
today he would seek a congress
sional investigation of reports
which he said came to him from
"a nationally known engineer
and contractor"-that Ameri-
cans are getting rich and living
In luxury in Mexico off lease
lend expenditures.
Asserting that "these internation-
ally minded gentry" are escaping
United States taxes, Mr.. Bradley
said he plans to take the matter to
the State Foreign Relations Com
mittee through Senator vandenberg,
Republican, of Michigan.
He expressed hope the committee
could investigate and make report
before the Senate takes final action
on bill continuing the Lease-Lend
Act. The House already has passed
the measure, and that is why Mr..
Bradley wants to get the matter
before the Senate.
Informant Not Named.
Mr.. Bradley told the House yes
terday he had information from the
engineer-contractor, whom he did
not identify by name, that some
Americans were seemingly enjoying
the Mexican climate, horse races
and bull fights, and the Mexican
hilarity, and not a few of them were
seemingly enjoying a veritable bo-
nanza of recently acquired wealth.
wealth which they are accumulat-
ing in unbelievable amounts through
our good-neighbor policy and our
lease-lend program.
He said Americans were amassing
wealth by participating in the ex-
penoiture of lease-lend funds ION a
multitude of so-called good neigh
Dor projects, large and small"
They have a racket in obtaining
high engineering fees in exchange
for political influence in obtaining
lease-lend funds" Mr.. Bradley
added.
Noticed Autos From d. C.
"My friend noticed great many
beautiful shining new 1912 automo-
bjles bearing licenses from many
States" Mr.. Bradley said. HE spe-
cifically noticed many licenses from
New York, California, Michigan and
Washington, D. c."
Mr.. Bradley said this surprised
him because he had understood that
1912 cars could be taken out of the
country only with State Department
authority.
ut would SEEM" the Michigan
legislator continued, rather difficult
for some of those politicians, some
of those United States contractors
and engineers whom my friend saw
and with whom he talked person
ally, to justify to the OPA their
foreign use of those cars.
Furthermore, at the border one
may, If he wishes, remove and check
his tires and travel in Mexico on
rented American-made tires fur
nished Mexico under lease-lend."
Mexicans Reported Returning.
Mr. Bradley said many Mexicans
who left that country IN trouble
some days were returning to build
expensive homes and emily other
comforts.
Seemingly" he added, there is
no lack of building materials nor
is there any shortage OF capable
labor for these private construction
projects Most of these homes
are being lavishly equipped with
electric refrigerators, electric stoves
vacuum cleaners, radios and other
electric appurtenances, to say moth
ing of elaborate plumbing fixtures,
all of which are coming into Mex
leo from the United States at a
time when you and l can 60 with

OPA Plans One-Month
Supplemental AIIotments
To Force Cor-Shorinq

supplemental gasoline rationS
for Metropolitan Area motorists
who fail to sign up at least
three riders in car pools after
May % will be issued only for a
30-day period under an amend
ment now being drawn up by
the National Office of Price Ad-
ministration as part of the new
car-sharing program to be
launched here and in nearby
Maryland and Virginia May 9.
While District OPA officials insist
the new drive represents no change
in regulations with the exception of
the short-term issuance of rations,
District OPA Director Robert <.
Thompson said today the campaign
borders very close to compulsion."
Model for Nation.
The campaign, which opens May
3 with the registration Of prospective
riders in car pools, is designed to
conserve gasoline and to relieve the
strain on public transportation IA
cilities. It will serve as q model for
a Nationwide program of car shar-
ing to be instituted at a later date.
Detailed instructions in the drive
were outlined to ration board Off
cials by Andy S. Hynes, sr., District
mileage rationing representative, at
a meeting attended by Office of De-
tense Transportation and other Gov
ernment officials In the District
Building yesterday.
Mr.. Hynes, in explAsSaxs the
short-term ration, said trAAs during
the 80 days motorists will bs ex-
pected to recruit the mirAuaM n
three passengers, either tErougk1
Transportation Committees at tfeif
place OF business or through recruit
ing centers to be set up at 56O1
Connecticut avenue NV. and at
1924 North Highland street in Ar
lington. The Washington center
will service Maryland motorists.
Notices to be sent applicants by
boards state that "only in excep-
tional cases. under a strict interpre-
tation of the gasoline rationing
regulations, will the board approve
supplemental home -to-work mileage
If you do not have a full-car club"
Other Program High Lights.
Other high lights of the program
include:
A requirement that persons who
work irregular hours only a few days
each month must maintain a car
sharing pool the remainder of the
time. Certification from your de-
partment chief and Transportation
Committee that your hours of work
are irregular most of the time will
continue to be required before a
board can decide whether to release
you from forming a pool.
Existing car pools may be con-
tinued, but if any of your riders are
mile or more off your regular
home -to-work route, then new riders
must be found.
Applications for a renewal of ra-
tionS must be accompanied by the
tire-inspection record, even though
tire inspections are no longer re-
quired for passenger vehicles.
Frank Merritt, chief of the Ma
tional OPAs Transportation Com
mlttee section, told the group that
the time may come, if the war lasts
long enough, when every automobile
in the United States will have to be
brought into use" for essential driv-

~ tAAC hSoOCibtCu IIecbs
LONDON, Sept. 23.-In q new ef-
fort to placate Russia, the cabinet
Of the Polish government in exile
called on President Wladyslaw
Raczkiewicz today to remove Gen.
Kazimierz Sosnkowski, outspoken
Polish commander In chief who has
been bitter critic Of Soviet mo-
tives In Europe and Of the amount
of aid given to the Warsaw under
ground.
The next move is up to President
RacZkiewicz, who himself had been
in Russia's black books but who, ac-
cording to Polish government cir
cles. is pledged to accept the cab
inet's advice on appointment or re-
moval of high officials.
The cabinet decision today was
the climax of long struggle be-
tween the so-called liberal and ex-
IRENE nationalist factions among
the London Poles. It resulted in
part from British pressure and in
part from Premier Stanislaw Mi
kolajczyk's insistence that the sit
uation be solved quickly In order
to begin the work OF Polish recon-
struction.

Eisenhower Declines
10 Sign Honor Roll
Ahead Of De GauIIe
BY MELVILLE NoRDNEss

AsSociated Press War Correspondent
PARIS, Sept. 81 Delayed Gen
Eisenhower declined to sign the
honorary registerer at the Arc de
MISUNDERSTANDING he thought the
name of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
should head the post-liberation list
/ Gen. de Gaulle visited the I'm
known Soldiers grave and the
sEternal Light August q but al
THAT time the book still was in its
Mour-year hiding place.
e 1t was brought out for the Sep
Rember 8 ceremony when Gen. Eisen-
mower presented a plaque to the
Fcity. Today the committee of the
Keepers of the Undying Flame
started the book on it's way to De
kGaulle and then will send it to
Gen. Eisenhower.
Flame Kept Burning
8 In all the years of the occupation
kthe gas-fed fame was kept burning.
During the liberation of the city a
sone-legged guard of the Arc de
sTriomphe slept by it to prevent
vandalism by Germans.
& Hitler never officially visited the
] site as popularity supposed, but
smany other German officials did.
On June IA, 1910, when the Ger
mans entered Paris general
alighted in the Place de la Con-
scorde, walked up the Champs
/ Elysees, knelt before the grave and
! made the sign OF cross, said Leon
(, Mo, 7ou, vice president of the COM
mittee.
: Then he turned and asked me If
!. we wanted the Germans to keep the
flame alive" Mr.. Moussou said. Il
told him it was a shame for the
German flag to be raised over the
grave of Frances unknowns. The
general ordered the flag down."
, Ceremony Suspended.
The committees nightly prewar
ceremony of turning the fame up
high, to the salute of beating
drums, was suspended during the
occupation, but will be resumed next
month.
During the liberation Mr.. Nous
sou himself attended the flame
every day despite fighting close by.
In 1910 he had wanted to blow up
the grave and the flame system
rather than have the Germans mo-
lest 1t, but other members of the
committee dissauded him.
The Germans used to goose step
by the grave every day in the
changing of the guard and other
military ceremonies and paid their
respect by saluting the grave. But
they ordered civilians to keep away
at those periods.
I'VE are willing to honor your
dead, but not French civilians" Mr..
Moussou quoted the Germans as
saying, nor would they allow the
French to place the tricolor on the
grave as was done before the war.
