Allied H e a dqua t erS
Southwest Pacific, April 81
.-CUP) - A fleet of nearly
300 Allied bombers, in one on
the major blows in this thea
ter, was believed today to
have temporarily neutralized
Hollandia, Japan's main sup
ply port on the northern
New Guinea coast.
The heavy raid, which con-
cluded destruction of 288
planes known to be at Hol-
landia, came as American
Liberators from South and
Central Pacific bases contin~
ued the campaign against
Truk, Japan's outlying bas~
ton in the Carolines.

Dublon Island in Truk Atoll at noon
Saturday and Liberators from the
7th airforce in the Central Pacific
blisted the target again Sunday
night, striking Dublon and Eten, to
complete the 18th raid on Truk In
a week.
U. S. ground forces also frightened
their hold on the strategic Admir-
atty Islands in the Northern Bis
marck Sea by selling Rambutyo, 30
miles southeast of Manus, Sunday
without opposition. Occupation OF
Rambutyo gave the American
troops control of 10 Islands IN the
Tdmiralty group.
American Liberators opened the
attack on Hollandia Sunday, BLAST
ing path through anti-aircraft
defenses for lightning escorted
Mitchell and Boston bombers which
followed in wave after wave to rake
and bomb the bases airfield i1ls
stallations.
The raiders dropped 400 tons OF
bombs, leaving q mass Of flames

bastion, which lies 1000 miles south-
west of Truk and 1900 miles south~
east of the southern tip of the Phil
ippines.
2nd Largest Aattack ~a
The attack on Hollandia was thu
second largest of the southwest Pac-
ific warfare, being exceeded only by
the 414-ton raid Allied bombers
made in pre-invasion assault on
Cape Gloucester, New Britain, in
the Bismarcks.
Only 80 Japanese fighters futilely
attempted to intercept the big AL
lied aerial fleet, and the bomberS
and Lightnings shot down 26 OF
them, losing one plane in the entire
raid.

Butter Points
Nav Be Less

Washington, April S - (U.Po -
Three government agencies dealing
with food and farm products re-
ported today that:
/. Civilian butter supplies In
creased during March, and If they
continue to increase, point values
can be decreased.
2. There is no surplus of sugar
but rather o six per cent reduction
in total civilian supplies as COM
pared to 1943.
3. There should be little
more beef, little less pork next
Fall.
4. An impending wheat shortage
may force cutting In half Of live
stock feeding next year and curtail-
ment of industrial alcohol produc-
ton from wheat.
The War Food Administration,
optimistic over the butter situation,
said supplies at the end of March
we're mostly adequate" to fill "a
toned civilian demands. However
VITA said sales were still below
normal due to. the high 16-point
ration value coupled with the wide
spread use of margarine and other
spreads"
The possibility of cut in butter
ration values if supplies continue to
mount was seen by Price Chief
Chester Bowles last night In his
weekly radio address.

Selective Service Director Lewis B
Hershey announced last night that
occupational and farm defernents
Of men 26 years of age and older
will be reviewed when the present
review of those under 26 Is COM
pleted.
In addition, he reveavel that as a
means of inducing ATS to take jobs

1-A-L's- men physically fit for
limited service but not indicted =

referred classes Immediately if they
take jobs in war industry or agri-
culture.
Legislation now is being prepared
to force all other ATS into essential
jobs, possibly by drafting them into
the Army for use as labor corps.
Speaking on a nationwide broad
cast, Hershey said that military de-
mands for an estimated 100000
men by July / would not be fully
met by induction of LAS, those

He indicated that the next age
group to be reviewed would be those
from 26 to 30. He said "less string
ent requirements would be estab-
lished for men of this group to re-
tain their deferments than the
criterion of absolute indispenSability
set up for those under 26.
Not Enough
But there still will not be enough
men In all these groups to meet all
needs by July l, he declared; and
1.-THE balance must come from those

forces were reported firmly

Indo-Burma frontier toward Imphal

were gaining momentum.
The northernmost enemy force
has extended and strengthened its
road block on the Manipur road
about 80 miles north of Imphal and
about the same distance south OF
Kohima, the headquarters commun-
ique said.
There was no immediate indica-
ton as to whether the Japanese
were moving down on Imphal or
northward toward Kohima and the
Assam Bengal railway line at Di-
napur.
Far to the south, British imperial
forces fought through Japanese
road block across the highway be-
low Imphal in an effort to establish
a new line on which to meet the
strong enemy forces moving up from

Allied Headquarters, April 5 -(U

Fifth Army have beaten off Ger

sitions in the hills above Casino, II
was disclosed today, but action on
the other major battle sectors again
was confined to patrol clashes and
heavy artillery exchanges.
AS the war In Italy went into It's
eighth month, front reports indi-
Gated that the Allied and German
artillery had taken command of the
battle, pounding with increasing
violence at the opposing rear line
areas, while the ground troops
braced for another major effort on
the Casino and Anzio fronts.
Headquarters spokesman revealed
that Nazi infantrymen attempted a
strong counter-attack against Ital-
ian positions atop Mount Marrone,
16 miles northeast Of Casino, in an
attempt to smash the Allied flank
ing threat to their defense line
above that town.
The Italians held their ground,
however, and, with the aid Of a
heavy artillery concentration, broke
up the attack and inflicted consid-
cradle casualties on the enemy.
The Stalemate inside Casino con-
tinued, although German field guns
poured a steady stream Of shellfire
into the Allied-held section of the
town all last night. The barrage.
coupled with official reports of en-
envy troop movements northwest OF
Casino, suggested that a Nazi
counter-attack might be developing
in that sector, but there was no di-

Dewey Presidential Campaign

UNITED Press STAG Correspondent
Washington, April 5-(UP)-The
Republican presidential campaign
in behalf of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York was booming today on
the basis of Wisconsin preferential
primary returns which showed him
out-polling a field which included
Wendell L. Willkie, the 1910 G. O.
P. nominee.
Significance of the Wisconsin re-
turns was somewhat clouded by a
diminished vote. 1t appeared that
not more than 100000 persons par
ticipated in the Republican primary
compared with the 679, 206 who voted
for Willkie in the 1910 presidential
election in which he lost the state
to President Roosevelt by 25,615
votes. That showing in 1910 prob
ably helped persuade Willkie to
make Wisconsin 1914 testing
ground.
But his campaign for this years
nomination has suffered bruising
blow in Wisconsin. He campaigned
the state for 10 days prior to yes
terday's polling and today is in
Nebraska where he is entered in
next. Tuesdays Republican preferen-
tial primary against 1t, Comdr. Har-
old E. Stassen, former governor OF
Minnesota.
Congressional and organization
Republicans generally have opposed
WILKES effort to lead the party
again this year. His opponents were
quick today to interpret the Wiscon-
sin returns as a reputation of Will
kies claim that he had dominant
rank and file party support.
Rep. Earl c. Kitchener, r., Mich,
assistant House Republican leader,
said: THE vote indicates rather
decisively that the people are doing
their own thinking and that this Is
not the year for transforming
campaigns.

pared today to battle two more
charges filed by Joan Barry, his
one-time mistress, who claimed she

A federal court jury, which dis

Then he went into conference

London, April 5. - CUP
- Liberators bombed the
French coast today and Ber-
lin reported violent fighting
over Germany in a broadcast
indicating that American
fighters were making their
first non-escort sweep of the
Reich and had drawn the
Luftwaffe into battle.
The Berlin radio reported air bat
ties over central, western and south
ern Germany against American
fighter formations, making no men
ton of bombers, raising the possib-
ility of the employment Of new tao
tics to bring the NaN air force to
grips.
The fact that an official an
nouncement named only the Pas De
Calais area Of France as the objec-
tive of heavy bombers suggested
that if the Na1 reports were true,
Thunderbolt, Lightning and Mus
tang fighters unhampered by the
responsibility Of escorting bombers
were raking Germany.
The Berlin report Of fighting over
south Germany also indicated a
two-way attack from Britain and
Italy or broad fanout over Nazi
soil by planes from British bases.

The daylight operations and night
attacks by British Mosquito bomb
ers on Cologne and the Ruhr broke

Run Again

A three-cornered primary fight
for the Democratic nomination as
Senator for the 10Th district seemed
scheduled today, as reports stated
that ex-Sen. Joseph H. Lawlor
would soon announce his candidacy.
The former senator who repre-
sented the 10th for IA continuous
years from 1928 to 1887 has been
urged by prominent Democrats and
strong supporters from the Wash
ington Hill district to enter the
contest in opposition to Sen. John
r. Tobin, incumbent, and Patrick j.
Wallace, said to be the administra-
tons choice.
One of the most widely known
and popular man not only in the
18th district but throughout the
city and state, Senator LaWlor is
considered choice to detract ma
terially from the strength shown
by Sen. Tobin in the latter district
two years ago.
During his service in the state
senate, Mr.. Lawlor was at one time
or another member of every SEN
atorial committee with the exception
of one, the latter requiring that
any member be a member of the
bar as well.
He was particularly prominent as
member of the roads and new
bridges committee and was person
ally instrumental in the improve
ments of the roadways known as
the Wolcott or Bristol road, the
new stretch between Waterbury and
Naugatuck on the South Main street
road and the Prospect. He likewise
was personally instrumental in
initiating the construction of Wa
terbury's municipal stadium having
been influential undressing fed
eral authorities in contributing to
it's erection.
