BY DON CASWELL

| United Press War Correspondent Allied Headquarters, Southwest Pacific, April g. = (UP) - New American raids on the Carolines were disclosed today, with Libera- tor bombers again hitting Satawan and Woleai Islands on either side of the big Japanese base at Truk.
 GA Japanese Domei News Agency broadcast, recorded by the EGG. said that several" Allied PBY-2 planes raided Tarakan in northeastern Borneo Thursday.

It is 600 miles southwest of Davao in the Philip pines, and the nearest Allied point is Melville Island, off Darwin, Aus tralia, 1850 miles to the south)
 SataWan, 150 miles southeast of Truk, was attacked Wednesday for the fourth consecutive day, as the big four -engined planes flying from Solomons bases spread 49 tons of bombs across the islands airfield.
 Woleai, about 500 miles west of Truk. also was raided the same day by Liberators, which dropped 50 tons of explosives on the airdrome, communique said, and supple mentary reports showed that two additional planes were destroyed in Tuesdays attack, bringing the enemy's losses to eight certain and probably three others.
 50 Tons of Bombs
 The raids on Satawan and Woleai were part of joint offensive by Gen. tral and South Pacific air forces on the strategic CarolineS. Ponape, Pa kin, Ant and Ujelang islands, oil in the eastern Carolines, were attacked Wednesday by Mitchell medium bombers of the 7th Army airforce. Fifty tons of bombs also were drop ped in the daily attack on enemy positions in the Marshalls.
 SolomonS- -baSed bomberS from the South Pacific again raided Rabaul, New Britain. hitting Lakunai Air. drome and supply areas with 45 tons of explosives, while fighter patrols attacked Ropopo airdrome.

Washington, April 22-(UP)- David Lawrence, magazine editor and newspaper columnist, proposed today that new constitutional amendment be adopted to safe- guard freedom of the press.
 Lawrence expressed the belief that the first amendment-with its prohibition on laws abridging the freedom of the preSs-had been nullified through interpretation in the courts. His proposal for a new amendment was made at the 22nd annual ,eeting of .he American So- ciety of newspaper editors.
 He said the first amendment had been construed narrowly by the

Sedition
 Trials Muy Be Halted
BY ANN HICKS

OhAUCA ACSS 0k&kA NUEEcSUOUuGuL
 Washington, April 22- CUP) A decision on defense Attorney James J. Laughlin's request that the sedi- tion trial be halted until "the legal ity of the proceedings can be in- vestigated was expected today from the United States Courts of Appeals.
 Laughlin filed petition for a writ of mandasnus to halt the trial with the appeals court yesterday because in the unusual circumstances of this caSe-which may last from four to 12 months-the ordinary remedy of an appeal would be inadequate.'
 Judge Edward c. Richer, presid- ing over the trial, removed one of Laughlin's objections when he an- nounced last night that he would dismiss the entire present panel of prospective jurors when court re- sumes Monday, and swear in anoth- CT 100 veniremen.
 Defense attorneys had protested that government prosecutor O. John Rogges request for immediate trans fer of bonds to the third indictment had revealed to the panel the fact that some of the 28 men and two women accused of conspiracy with the Nazis already have been indicted once or twice before.
 Richer said dismissal of the ven- iremen should hemove "any possib- ility of prejudice" that could be cause for an appeal of the case"
 Laughlin's appeal, filed for de- fendant Edward James Smythe, said that Richer made "a fatal er- TOT" when he permitted Rogge to mention the two other indictments before the jurors.
 His petition also challenged the fact that Richer alone was question ing prospective jurors and charged that Richer refused to permit an in- vestigation of wire tapping and shadowing of various defendants and alleged tampering with pros pective purors,''.

FLEETS SLICE INTO JAPANESE HELL PORT Force Of Allies Devastates Sabang
Carrier Borne Planes Do Big Outstanding Job
BY HAROLD GUARD

United Press War COrrespOndent) With Allied Fleet Off Sabang, April 9. = (UP) American, British, French and Dutch warshipS more ahn25 strong sliced into the rim of Japan'S stolen empire today and devastated Sabang with a carrier-borne aerial strike that was like Swatting a mosquito with a baseball bat.
 The United Nations Forces including a U. s. aircraft car rier, moved in under orders from Admiral Sir James F. SOmerville to catch them with their kimOnOs up" and from the air arm wing com mander to Ego in and flatten them"
 They carried out the assignment III d bAIdU CdAoC0 A1OAASA e vile to signal after it was over:
 Congratulations on successful day. As far as am concerned, this occasion is the first in which Bri- tish and American naval aircraft formed a single attacking force. May it prove the first of many"
 An American officer who cannot be identified replied, yours much appreciated. Also hope this is be- ginning of similar joint operations.
 The attack on the Japanese out post at the tip of Sumatra on the road to Singapore may have been aimed at enticing the enemy fleet into combat. But it did not stir. Two striking forces threw tEelr aeria weight at Salbang and the Lho Nga base across tEe Straits on the Sumatra mainland from two directions.
 Caught flat-footed. the Japanese opened their anti-aircraft barrage late. The Allied planes, meanwhile, were swarming in to knock out the Sabang Radar station, smash A. power station, coaIif1g wharf, bars racks, and radio station, rake two ships in the harbor with gunfira and set fire to two destroyera 22 Jap Planes
 Fifteen parked planes were wrecked, and three destroyed at aIl~ other field. (Altogether g Japanese planes were destroyed. an earlier communique reported0 Bombed fuel tanks caught fire and smoke rose 1000 feet.
 The task force of battleships, cruisers, destroyers and carriers sailed from Ceylon Sunday. The destination was secret. The next day it Zig-zagged through the Bay of Bengal in open battle formation, with Catalinas constantly on watch overhead. Wednesday will be the day we have been waiting for, for some time"
 That same day Somerville set the mood for the dramatic strike with a peremptory statement signaled to the fleet:
 The target for our Allied aircraft tomorrow is Sabang. Thus far we do not appear to have been spotted, and as the Japs have regulth habits I hope to catch them with their kimonos up. Once our presence is known we must expect attack, and we must give good account of ourselves"
 Carrier crewmen were at battle stations throughout the night. The flight deck crew was on watch be- for dawn. The planes began revving up for the first strikt scheduled at 2 a. m. With mighty roar the plane from the American and Bri-, tish carriers hurtled off the decks into a. moderate wind as the ships

 T think it is high time that the editors of America realize that in almost every case in which the first amendment was invoked as a protection in recent years, as against the validity of such con- tention," Lawrence said.
 He suggested this language for l amendment:

Gen. Patton In Fighting
 Euro pc Zone
BY PHIL AULT United Press Staff COrresp0ndent)

London, April g. - (UP) - It. Gen. Gen. George s. (Blood and Guts) Patton, whose main aim is to whip Adolf Hitler and kill a lot of Germans, was in the fighting zones again today, this time the European theater where the Allies were mass ing for the final blow at Nazi Ger many.
 The Swashbuckling, pistol-packing general, who almost ruined his mil itary career by skipping a sick sol dier, was in this theater because Allied leaders know he is a dashing combat soldier.
 While it was not determined ii Patton had been given command of an invasion force, the Daily Ex- press carried headline - Patton Here for Second Front"
 Arrival of Patton in the European zone was the first word of his where about since March when it was an- nounced he had left the Seventh Army to take over command Of another army.
 In the new field, Patton may get the opportunity to fulfill another ambition - to show millions of Americans who condemned him last fall that he is big enough to live down his mistake.
 There was one unknown factor in the situation, however, and that was how willing the troops will be to accept his leadership after the con- troversy that followed his skipping of sick, bed-ridden soldier of his Seventh Army in Sicily.
 Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower him. self - and many other professional soldiers - believe Patton is the kind of man they need to storm tough objectives. He likes to fight and Army leaders believe he is too good a combat solder to be shelved at the time when the Army needs rough and ready leaders.
