We were told by our guards that they had been suspected of helping guerrillas, mostly Australians, who were still fighting determinedly in inland areas"
 Another Sikh, Naik Gurman Singh, said 15 of the Indian troops who became ill were put to death by the Japanese because they did not want to waste time and medical supplies"

 Heavy Casualties
 MacArthur's communique said that the largest Japanese casual ties were inflicted in the Hollandia area, where the enemy losses were placed at e77 killed and 259 cap- tured. A total of 525 Japanese was killed and 3l captured at Aitape. There was no further disclosure of U. s. casualties other than the ail- nouncement two days ago that 28 American were killed and 95 wound ed in the Hollandia operation.
 The Sikh troops were jubilant when the Americans began the bolnbardment preceding the inva- sion April 22. Their Japanese caps tors fled as the big shells and bombs fell into the area. and the Indians, back in the hills, shouted:
 "USA soldier have arrived"
 They remained in hiding for Q whole day, however, before sending out an emlssary to contact the Americans. Then they were brought aboard ships for evacuation, given their first food in days, and med. ical attention.

 It also was disclosed that @ members of the 5th and 115th Sikh regiments, were liberated when American cavalrymen invaded Los Negros Island in the Admiralties last March. Their ranking officer, Gull zeara Singh, said the Indians were taken to Rabaul, New Br- tain, last May and moved to Manus, the principal island of the Admiral ties, last Oct. 12-tEe day of the first big American raid on Rabaul.

 ''The Japs ordered us to carry on even when sick" Singh said. When we officers complained, the Japs told us we much kick anyone who is slow in his work"
 MacArthur's communique dis closed new Allied aerial attacks on Japanese bases throughout the southwest Pacific.
 Solomons- based bombers again raided Rabaul dropping 42 tons of bombs on the township and the Tobera ad Vunakanau airdromes, where two grounded enemy planes were destroyed. A spokesman said the steady raids have rendered four or Rabaul's five eirdromes entire ly unseryiceable," with Lakunai airdrome the only one in commits sion.

 Allied bombeFs made a new sweep of the Northern British New Guinea coast between Wewak and the Hansa Bay area, striking sup- ply dumps and installations With 100 tons Of explosives.

 The new sinkings brought to 12o the number of vessels sunk by the Russians during the 32-day Cri- mean campaign. Forty-seven were transports totalling 126,0Oo tons.
 Other Red Air Force planes bombed enemy communications and troops concentrations on the Stan- islawow front. firing military train loaded with tanks and trucks.
 Front dispatches reported that a pail of smoke from German demoli- tions and the distraction wrought by Soviet bombs and shells still hangs over Sevastopol.
 Only few buildings survived, the dispatches said. Historic monuments and other structures were trans formed into heaps of rubble.
 Only 24 hours before the city fell, it was said, the Gestapo rounded I'D a group of Russian boys and placed them on a barge which was lowed into the Roadstead and sunk Other barses on which the Ger mans drowned thousands of in- habitants during their nearly two years of occupation were said to be visible in the transparent waters of the bay.
 Foreign Commissar Viacheslav M Molotov, meanwhile, promised that Germany soon" will feel the full strength of joint Allied blows from the east and west.
 Now the time has come when the armed forces of the Allies are preparing for decisive joint opera tions against our common enemy, Hitlerite Germany, and the enemy will soon feel the strength of the joint blows" Molotov was quoted as saying yesterday in a speech thank ing British Ambassador Sir Archi- bald Clark Kerr for conferring liS British decorations on Soviet sol- diers,

 Stimsons figures on the Pacific air war moulded the scored of the fifth, seventh, 11th and 18th air forces. American forces now have destroyed more enemy planes in every area of the Pacific than they have lost to the Japanese-With the lone exception of Hawaii, where the Japanese ran up an advantage in the initial attack on Pearl Harbor.
 Of the total of 4,064 Japanese planes destroyed, 3,072 were shot down in combat and 992 were dis posed of on the ground. The Amer ican army losses of 1,163 planes 1n- clude all losses due to enemy &C., tion.
 Since Feb. 3 American bombers have dropped 7,730 tons of bombs on Rabaul where enemy air install lations have been rendered useless.
 Tn the Admiralty Islands Amer ican forces have counted 3,180 Jap naese killed and taken 158 prisoners of war. Stimson estimated another HOO Japanese had died there, and only a handful are now left.
 At Hollandia and Aitape, 1902 Japanese have been killed and 290 captured while our losses have been small
 He noted that the mounting AL lied aerial offensive in Eruope is resulting in cumulative destruction to enemy far power, resources and transport and that enemy resist ance is diminishing.
 The destruction of Nazi resources under the aerial hammering is now an old story, Stimson said.
 ''The older the story is, the more far reaching its effects will be on the Germans, he continued. The ''The air attacks must be repeated again and again. The Germans are efficient in making repairs and inl- provising their own means to con- serve planes. But they are gradually falling behind all through this des- perate process"
