QUARTERS, New Guinea, May 3
Gen. Douglas Macarthur
headquarters, in a special state
|ment today, claimed the sinking
of 1927 Japanese coastal vessels
barges and schooners and dam
aging of 3,548 since April, 1912.
A comprehensive review of the
Allied antibarge campaign said this
destruction has had the effect OF
'paralyzing enemy efforts to supply
reinforce or evacuate the 17th and
18th (Japanese) armies cut off and
surrounded in New Guinea, New
Britain, New Ireland and the Solo
mons"
The japanese have been driven to
the use of barge and other small
craft by heavy losses of cargo ships
and transports early in the war and
by the proved inefficiency of sub
marines as supply agents.

 kT 10TH CENTURY

When Frank Futile was assigned to direct Paramount's picturization of Stefan Heyms widely-read novel, Hostages" which is now appearing at the goth Century Theatre, it was enc of his few adventures into the realm of melodrama. Futile, in the past, had restricted megaphone yielding mostly to musicals and comedies. Fortunately, the director ial choice couldn't have been better one.
 The story deals dramatically with an unconquerable and plucky band of anti-Nazis, who, working as an underground army" sabotage, mur- der and strike terror in the hearts of the Germans.
 Futile with admirable thorough ness, has built an engaging story of desperate love with Luise Rainer and Arturo de Cordova as the romantic team.
