Claremore friends.
Movement Of the body from Cali

Arnold Urges Nation
To Study Postwar
Use Of Air Routes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 23.-Gen. H. H.
Arnold, chief of the Army Air Forces,
suggested last night that Americans
should think about" whether fed
orally built air routes are to be
turned over to some foreign coun-
try or developed by American in
tereSts after the war.
Departing from a prepared ad-
dress at dinner meeting OF" the
Economic Club, Gen. Arnold said:
"The United States today has the
biggest and best air routes in the
world. =" What will happen to
these air routes after the war? What
do you want to do with them? Are
you going to give them away to
some foreign nation after we put
all that money into them or de-
velop them under some American
company? 1t is something for all
of you to think about.
The general said that the aerial
pounding of Hitler-held territory
constituted an invasion lin the
deadliest sense of the word"
What is, happening today in the
skies over Europe is not, as most
people believe it to be, prelude to
invasion. 1t is invasion-in the
deadliest sense of the word. =
Numerically, we send over the
equivalent of an infantry division
on our daily, routine missions now y
The general related that the COM
bined chiefs of staff, at the Casa
blanca conference, had directed
American and British air forces to
destroy the German military, indus
trial and economic systems, and to
undermine the morale of the people
to the point where their capacity
for armed resistance is fatally
weakened"

STOCKHOLM, May % P).-A
British Legation spokesman said to-
day that so far as he knew there
was nothing to report that Al Raj
officers had been shot in German
prison camp Stalagluft III.
He said all the information re-
ceived here regarding the execu-
tions came from London.
Qn London Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden told Commons to-
day he had asked Britain's Min
ister at Stockholm for fullest in
formation on the case.)
A usually reliable informant said
previously, however, that the story
of the shooting was given to the
Legation here by three officers who
escaped from the camp and now are
in England, where, Mr.. Eden said
last week, they had succeeded in
escaping from the prison camp in

Nazi Peoples Courts
To Try Flyers Downed
While Strafing Trains
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 23.-German peo-
ple's courts will try Allied pilots shot
down during fighter-plane attacks
on trains and communications in
Germany, German broadcast
quoted by the Stockholm newspaper
Svenska Dagbladet said today.
Ever since the great Allied fighter
sweep over Germany Sunday, Nazi
propaganda has charged that the
attacks were made mainly against
trains carrying women and chill
dren and that pilots shot down
farmers in their fields.
The trial threat recalled the Ger
man declaration of last December 23
that British and American airmen
held as prisoners of war in Germany
would be tried as war criminals
in answer to the Russians trials at
Kharkov and execution OF three
Germans and a Russian traitor
found guilty of committing atro-
cities.
Apparently no trials were staged
in Germany. although a broadcast
more than a month later said there
were reports such action was lin
preparation"
A Berlin broadcast heard in Lon
don today said, 1.-THE German su-
preme command thinks it necessary
to put before the world a number
of outrageous violations of inter-
national laU hv the Anplo Arna,.ico n
air force. There we're 20 cases OF
violation against international law
between January "a and April IA.
Since April IA, the supreme COM
mand points out, Anglo-American
attacks on hospitals, etc., have re-
Cured almost daily. No dressing
station, no hospital train, or trans
port of wounded soldiers is safe
from attack of Anglo o-American
planes. In all these cases, the at
tackled targets are clearly marked
with the Red CrosS"

Al Flyers Declared
Slain by Nazi Guards
Who Lost Heads
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 23.-British hatred
of the Nazis was increased further
today by Stockholm dispatch to
the Daily Express promising stories
from comrades of Al British flyers,
whose mass Staying while seeking
to escape from German internment
was disclosed In Commons last week.
The Express, owned by Lord Beav-
erbrook, member of Prime Minister
Churchill's cabinet, and the largest
and one of the most influential pub
lications in England, printed unre-
strained headlines.
Mass murder" and Guards run
amock" were phrases used in de-
scribing the Staying of the British
airmen.
The Express said a detailed ac-
count of the killing showed the
massacre did not take place
in a clash between prisoners and
guards, but was carried out by
groups of guards who lost their
heads and shot prisoners haphaz-
ardly in barracks, courtyards and
workshops"
The Express correspondent. B. D.
Masterman. said British pilots who
escaped and reached Sweden most
emphatically refute the German al
legation that the prisoners were
shot when rushing toward gates
which they tried to force" and said
neither inquiry nor trial preceded
the killings,
"The shootings lasted several
days." he added, although most of
the officers were shot March % ** y.
They were apparently due to
breakdown of German discipline
and morale. Witnesses state, Dur
ing the past months most of the
guards at Stalagluft III German
prison camp behaved like luna
tics"
The first word in Britain of the
shootings came May 18 from the
Swiss government, the protecting
power.

QUARTERS, New Guinea, May
23.-With Wakde's airfield muse
by American flyers all New Gui-
nea was brought within range of
fighter escorted Allied bombers
today and deeper aerial inroads
on the Netherlands Indies-even
air penetration of the Philip
pines-seemed near.
But while Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thurs planes took off and landed
on the strategic island strip JAP
anese blocked the advance of 9Th
Army Yanks against two other i'm
portant airf1elds On the nearby
Dutch New Guinea mainland.
Accurate enemy mortar fire kept
the Americans pinned against the
Tor River in the Toen area which
they invaded Wednesday, the day
before they stormed Wakde. Heavy
artillery was brought up behind the
American beachhead to blast enemy
positions.
Transport Planes Bring Troops.
The Wakde strip, Ito miles north
west of Hollandia, was made ready
for Allied planes 48 hours after the
invaders hit the beach. First down
were big CAT transports carving
troops to reinforce the mainland of :
fenslve.
Objectives of the Toem- based
drive are Sarmi and Maffin Bay Air
Fields, which have runways COM

This can be heightened to 1000
feet to accommodate fully loaded

Wakde-based fighters can escort

in New Guinea.

Fierce mainland fighting boosted
