CHUNGKING, May H. - The
Chinese Command said that Jap
forces are slashing across the yell
low River in a southwark move to
cut the Lunghai Railway, about 40
miles west of Loyang in Honan
Province, barring the line of a
Chinese retreat.
Two Jap columns of 5000 men
are taking part in the invasion
force and they are using 600 light
tanks and armored cars, it is said
Forced across the Yellow River
from Shansi Province, the Japs are
attempting to push the Chinese
into the hills from the Great Honan
Plains as a means of -guarding
their newly won hold on the Peip-
ing Hankow Railway.
The Japs are using a thousand
trucks as well as tanks and armor-
ed cars in making the drive the
heaviest mechanical offensive in
China since the battle of Hankow in
1888. The spokesman said that he
attributed the swift Jap advances
to the enemy's use Of tanks and
the Chinese lack of antitank guns
and heavy ornaments.

CURTAINHAS
GONE UP, IS
NAzI CLAIM
RommeI May Defend Eur
ope by Attack on Eng
land Says Paris Radio

LONDON, May 12.-Nazi controll-
ed radios, apparently surprised by
the Allied Italian offensive, declared
1.-THE day for the Allied invasion
has come and limited strongly that
a counterinvasion of Britain might
be Marshal Erwin Rommel's defense.
THE gong has already sounded
for the curtain to rise if, in fact, it
has not already risen," Jean Paquis
said over the Paris radio, as France
waited tensely and her conquerors
of four years braced themselves tor
blows from an onslaught from out
side and an uprising from within.
Axis reports reaching Britain
where the jar of explosions on the
French invasion coast last night
we're felt as far inland as London,
said that a picked German attack
force. spearheaded by paratroops,
would strike at England the mo-
ment the Allied invasion began.
These accounts insisted that
Rommel could be counted on to de-
fend by attacking Most London OBJ
servers took this with a grain Of
salt, believing it more likely the
Nazi press is putting out dispatches
of feigned confidence rather than
risking the disclosure of any real
German plans on the defense Of
the continent.
Another report said that Rommel
demanded the appointment OF a
German Gauleiter with extraordin :
airy police powers to take charge in
France on the ground that Vichy
may be unable to control the
French when the Allies invade.

Merry Co Round
By DREW PEARSON
IT. col Robert S. Allen now on active
service with the Army.)


WASHINGTON friend OF
Wendell WILKES who is close &c
the Roosevelt Administration told
him the other day that a group
of high-up officials had been dis
cussing him as the best man iof
Secretary of the Navy. While they
could not speak for the President
it was the consensus Of this group
Willkie was told, that he would be
the ideal choice for this important
war job.
Willkie gave MS friend the fol-
lowing reply.
Naturally 1 should be honored
to serve my country in such an
important capacity. But 1t would
be a mistake for the President to
make me Secretary OF the Navy
for this reason. We are on the
verge of a tremendous invasion.
The plans for that invasion were
made long ago. I could add moth
ing to them Nor could add any
thing to their execution. know
nothing about the Navy, and 1t
would be mistake to appoint me.
Furthermore, at time like this,
my appointment would be consider
ed political, and politics should play
no part in wartime, especially on
the eve of great invasion. At
these times, our country comes
first"
