Jap Air Fleet FolIows
NAVY Into Cautious HIDING

That Is the unacceptable con-
clusion to be drawn from Off
cial communicates and from Nip
ponese aircraft losses in Sep
TENDER, the lightest month in
more than year.
For many weeks the state
ment, there was no intercept
tion," has appeared with regu-
larity in official reports of aer-
ial stri kes at Japan's bases
throughout the vast Pacific war
theater. Only occasionally have
airborne enemy planes inter-
posed challenge to Allied
raiders.
On Aug. 81, Gen. Douglas
Macarthur reported the with
drawal of japanese air forces
from Halmahera and other bases
in the area south of the Philip
pines Ito bases further westward
beyond our bomber range" Hal
mahera stands as the last is
land obstacle to Macarthur
pledge to redeem the Philip
pines.
Yesterday, Macarthur report
ed Nippon's air force has been
driven away from fields in
southern Mindanao further to
the north and west" Mindanao,
southernmost major island of
the Philippines, probably will
be the first to welcome MacAr-
thurs return. Davao, its princi-
pal port, already is we'll on the
way to being neutralized.
1t. Gen. Willard F. Harmon,
commanding all Army air forces
in the Pacific Ocean areas, ex-
pressed the belief last week that
Japan is boarding her planes and
not attempting to meet the
American challenge on outly-
ing islands. He saw the possibil-
ity that they would be used in
defense of the Philippines.
Only 121 Nipponese aircraft
were reported destroyed in the
Pacific, from the northern Ku-
rifles to the islands just above
Australia, in September. Allied
losses were 40.
Last June, Japan's blacklist
month of the air war, 1,041 Nip
ponese planes were destroyed
- 400 in the naval action &C.
companying the invasion of the
Marianas Islands. Allied losses
were 1872, including 1872 in the
Marianas naval air action.

Competition lmperiIs
Cheap Latin American
Trips, PAA Contends
By W. H. sHIPPEN, Jr..


The everyday, average man who
has = small business or little
money In the bank for his annual
vacation figured prominently today
IN Pan American Airway's argu-
ments before the Civil Aeronautics
Board to protect its plan for mass
transportation to Latin America
from the competition OF other
United States air carriers.
It was PAA's contention, in the face
Of vigorous opposition from dozen
domestic air carriers and steam
ship companies trying to enter the
field, that competition will jeopar-
die its program for operating a
fleet Of huge, high-altitude trans
ports over an extended and improved
network OF airways linking the
Americas.
Competition Certain.
In any event, according to Pan
Americans first witness, j. Clawson
Roop, vice president and treasurer
Of the company, the system must
compete after the war with foreign
flag lines which will operate both in
side South America and as connect
ing links to United States ports
Of entry.
Additional competition, Mr.. Roop
argued before the CAB examiners,
will cut down the frequency of pro-
posed schedules. dilute" the volume
Of passenger, mail and express traf-
nc, and prevent the company from
making full and economic utilization
of ground facilities and feeder lines
1t has established through II years
Of pioneering to the south.
Monopoly Charged.
On the other hand, the opposing
interests charged PAW with at
tempting to set up giant monopoly
contrary to the American system of
controlled enterprise in the trans
portation field. 1t was contended
that many air carriers operating
overseas under Army and Navy
contracts have demonstrated their
ability to compete on equal terms
with the older system.
PAW proposes to reduce fares to
4a cents a mile and cut elapsed
time between New York and Buenos
Aires. for example, down to ~ hours,
but such rates and schedules are
based on the assumption that Pan
American will have clear field
for expansion after the war.
Mr.. Roop would not predict how
long after the war 1t would take his
company to put such a plan into
operation. Questioned about the
types Of transports to be used, Mr..
Roop pointed out his company had
ordered 40 planes OF the Constella-
tion class before the war stopped
delivery.
Not Clear on Types.
The witness said PAA planned to
use some planes Of this type and
possibly four -engined DS-4s during
the interim period" later adding
much larger transports when they
can be delivered. He admitted never
having seen any Of the latter ships,
