QUARTERS, New Guinea, May
5 - (P) - American invaders
of Dutch New Guinea were on
the alert today against expected
counter blows by Japan's we'll
trained navy filters.
AS headquarters announced
two amphibious landings which
pushed the Yanks as far as 40
miles west Of Hollandia, a
spokesman sounded a precau-
tionary note. He said there were
indications the Japanese are
throwing their naval aviation
strength - their best pilots are
reputed to be navy filters - into
Northwest New Guinea sectors
guarding the approaches toward
the Philippines.
(Aneta, Netherlands news
agency, said in New Guinea
dispatch that Japanese air bases
were being reinforced at Geel-
wink Bay, which is more than
200 miles from Hollandia, and
on the Halmahera Islands, to the
south of Mindanao.)
So far, only sporadic enemy
air activity has been reported in
the Hollandia Aitape sector,
where American invasion forces
have captured five airdromes
within bombing range of the
Philippines and killed more than
800 Japanese. A single night

NEW YORK, May 5 - up
- The Tokyo radio announced
today that Admiral Mineichi
koga, commander of the Japa-
neSe combined fleet, had been
X ed on active duty, less than
year after his predecessor. Ad-
mlral Isorotu Yamamoto, had
met similar death.
a broadcast recorded by U. S.
government monitors quoted an
imperial headquarters commun-
lque as saying that Koga had
" died at his post IN March of
this year while directing gen.
eral operations from an air
plane az the front"
The wording of the communi-
que bore a striking similarity
to Tokyo communique of May
81, l943. announcing Yamamo-
to's death IN a war plane the
previous April while directing
general strategy on the front
line"
TENACIOUS LEADER
A later Japanese broadcast
said that Maj. Gen. Kumao o.
haShi and Maj. Gen. Yoshitada
Shimokama had died in April of
illnesses contracted while on
active duty" and had been post
humously promoted to the rank
of lieutenant general.
Oohashi, whom the broadcast
described as chief of staff of
a front line Army Corps" and as
head of an army unit in China"
was said 10 have died on April
IA, while Shimol- wa, "com.
mander of unit on the front;
died on April 10. The broadcast
also reported that 1t. Gen.
Chunkichi Ochiai had been APP

hikaWa division.
Koga, who was SO. had gener-
ally been regarded as sound
but not brilliant Naval officer
noted for tenacity rather than
for his initiative. He lacked the
reutation of his predecessor,
who was known as the man who
torpedoed the London Naval
conference in 1884. planned the
sneak attack on Pearl Harbor
and once boosted he would die
tate peace terms in the White
House.
Before reaching head Of the
combined fleet Koga had served
as commander Of the Yokosuka
naval station and before that as
commander of the Japanese
fleet in Chinese waters. He also
had been vice-chief of the Naval
staff from 1934-37 and was Ma

IT is too bad that Gov.
L Thomas +. Dewey does not
have the perspicacity to hang
around the National Press Club.
He is passing up a wonderful
bet.
II he would spend only his
lunch hour there he would reap
a golden harvest. He would
know just what to do at every
turn so he couldn't possibly
miss becoming president Of the
United States.
He would know all this be-
cause the members would tell
him. They would advise him on
every move. He would never
have to exhaust himself doing
his own thinking.
The club is lousy-I mean
with members who have sure
fire campaign plans for the Re-
publican nominee. And all that
keeps them from getting their
strategy across is that Dewey
won't come around to listen.
TODAY. at lunch. for example,
L I was privileged to sit in on
a discussion at which one of
Dewey's major problems was
solved for him, just like that.

THESE DAYS

THE Chinese have a supersti-
u ton that the fate of man is
controlled by 'feng shui"-wind
and water.
Before an old-fashioned Chi
nese would build himself house
or even lay out his grave, he
would call in a necromancer to
discover whether the "feng
shut" was all right.
Mr.. Roosevelt's "feng shut"
apparently deserted him last
Saturday.
The wind blew and the rain
pelted and the crowds that were
to have injected a new enthus-
iasm into a dormant campaign
were smaller than expected,
damp, wet and unexcited ex-
cept among the tailors and fur
riers.
The Saturday show in New
York was undoubtedly retalia-
ton for the Republican charges
that Roosevelt is aging, sick,
decrepit, invisible.
He was exhibited to the
masses in an open car in pelt-
ing rain, proving that he still
possesses a rugged constitu-
ton, capable OF surviving four
more years of the presidency.

It was really an anti-Truman
exhibition, for what was being
argued was, You don't have to
be scared of Truman; the old
boy will survive. Look at him."

shine, there could be no holiday
spirit and most folks had sense
enough TO stay out of the rain.
1t was the ''feng shui' that
went wrong.
