alton OF the effectiveness of artil-
lery as a result of battle expert
ence in Italy. where air power
failed TO live up to predictions as
a means Of preparing the way for
ground offensiVes.
In a terse message declaring
that recent developments have
made imperative a sharp aceele-
ration in the army's heavy artil-
lery program" during the next 80
days. the WPB advised manufac-
turers that cannon, ammunition
and motive power units for 1885,
nm. guns, S-inch howitzers, 8-nch
guns and 240-mm. howitzers now
have the right Of way over all
other ornaments except landing
craft.
Landing craft had ranked as
the unchallenged No. item.

FEAR NATIVE, REVOLT


The thought that -the native
populations might give whole

one 81 the greatest breads Gre
sted by the japanese push.
The Indian nationalist demand
was advanced from a meeting AZ
Lucknow by veterans OF the
India independence movement as
the Japanese stepped up their Of
fensive and covered India With
perhaps the most adroit and
foFcefui radIo propaganda cam
paign Of the entire World War.
Washington opinion seems 10
hold that the Lucknow meeting
was intended purely 10 harass the
British under the threat Of the
Japanese assault.
TIE Allies have only until tho
monsoon rains start next month
10 drive the Japanese out OF
India. Yesterdays dispatches indi-
cate that the increasingly heavy
power Of the enemy offensive has
left the Allies with small hope Of
defense and none al all for a
successful counterattack.
Inserted incidentally in the
communicates from British head
quarters at New Delhi are adj
missions which agree with the
japanese radio that the enemy
drive is very nearly a complete
success.
Roads and rail lines form a

Some Of Wounded
Flown Back 10 j.. ).
BY the Associated Press.

os lHe hssCCiateu rTeSS.
LONDON, June 19.-The wound
ed are returning from the battle
fields of Normandy in better condi-
ton than even the medical officers
expected and the evacuation pace
moves so swiftly that some patients
already have been flown to the
United States.
Col Howard Doan. La Sale, ILL.,,
executive officer on the staff of the
chief surgeon of the United States
Army Medical Corps in the Euro
pean theater, made that statement
yesterday.
Speed in caring for wounded on
the spot and speed in moving them
back are stressed in an elaborate
program-greatest in medical his
tory-worked out by United States
Army, Navy and Air Force medical
staffs.
Col. Doan said these plans had
worked even better than expected,
and so the patients are arriving
with clean wounds, the infection
rate is low, and gas gangrene is no
problem.
Medical officers also are surprised
by the small number of shock
patients. Col. Doan said this was
due to treatment at the front lines.
Patients are arriving who have had
one or more transfusions of blood
plasma or even whole blood-which
testifies to the efficiency on the
far shore
