of the Kentucky State College
Alumni Association, at a special
meeting of the chapter.
Giving a brief account of the
conflict between himself and At
wood, Anderson charged that the
college head was opposed to the
fight of Kentucky Negroes for the
admission Of Negro students to
professional and graduate courses
of study at the University Of Ken
lucky and the University of Louis
vile. He further accused Atwood
of being so selfishly concerned
about his own welfare that he was
throwing the best interest of Ken
tucky's Negro youth and the edu-
cational advancement of the Negro
people to the wolves.
Anderson recently received ma
tion-wide publicity for introduction
of bill in the legislature to abol-
ish Kentucky's separate school law,
and admit Negro students to the
Universities of Kentucky and
Louisville. The bill passed the
lower house of the general assemb-
ly by a vote Of 41-40, but was de-
feated by the senate.

His attorney, Jerry Giesler,

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
Southwest Pacific, March "a -
up - More than 1000 tons of
bombs concentrated so far this
month on the Wewak sector of
New Guinea have done this
much damage: wiped out Japa-
nese air resistance; sunk thou
sands of tons of supply ships, and
blew up fuel and ammunition
dumps. gun positions and sup
ply stores.
The great weight of bombs,
focusing attention on an enemy
base more than 200 miles north
west of the closest Allied ground
positions below Madang, passed
the 2,000-ton mark for March
on the strength of a 200-ton
blow dealt Wednesday and re-
ported today by Gen. Douglas
Macarthur.
It was the 18th air punch
dealt the Wewak sector over a
period of % days covered by
the reports. Wednesdays attack
was the 18th day of unbroken
strikes by 1t. Gen. George C.
Kenney's bombers.
The consecutive series opened
March IL. After the first five,
during which more than 80
enemy planes were shot out OF
action, Wewak's four airdromes
ceased to offer intercption.
Allied conquest of the Ad-
miralty Islands, 225 miles east
of Wewak, has several Japan's
supply route from Truk to New
Guinea and left Wewak as the
base upon which the Japanese
at Bogia, Alexishafen and Ma
dang must rely completely for
whatever supplies can be slipped
in by sea from the general di-
rection of the Philippines.
Significantly, conveys have
been spotted and successfully
attacked recently off Aitape, 90
miles northwest of Wewak, and
near Hollandia, $50 miles away
Within the past six days, six
enemy warships and nine mer-
chantmen or transports of sizes
ranging up to 5000 tons have
been destroyed or damaged in
waters northwest of Wewak.
Wednesdays raiders - Lib
orators, Mitchells, Bostons and
escorting fighters - found ship
ping near islands lying off We
wax, and sank a 1000 ton
freighter, a 1900 ton freighter

President Roosevelt, reaffirm-
ing the intention of America to
aid the escape of refugees
marked for death by the enemy,
proposed in q statement today
that the free peoples Of Europe
and Asia temporarily open their

The Chief Executive also told
q press-radio conference in a
separate statement that America
would fulfill its pledge for indie
pendence to the Philippines.
He remarked to reporters that
he had quite a bit to offer today
on foreign policy, and he spoke
in q sarcastic vein of those who,
he said, had asserted that this
country lacked such q policy.
Reading the initial paragraph
Of his statement on refugees, he
said 1t was very good answer to
some people who are wandering
around asking bell-hops whether
we have q foreign policy. The
paragraph said:
