Mountbotten Meets Chionq
BY GEORGE WANG

Chungking, March 12.-(UP)- Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten's four-day visit to Chungking in- creased speculation today that the Allies may be planning a landing ill French Indo-China.
 The Chinese government an- nounced yesterday that Mountbat- ten, supreme Allied commander for southeast Asia, had conferred with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek su- preme commander in China, on military matters last Thursday through Saturday.
 Their decisions were not disclosed for obvious reasons, but they almost certainly foreshadowed new, CO., ordinated blows againstt he Japan csc on the Asiatic continent by Chinese, British and American forces.
 Perhaps coincidentally, the Chin csc ministry of information said in a release Saturday as Mountbatten and Chiang were concluding their conversations that both Frenchmen and natives in Indo-China were expecting Allied landings there.
 "Once the Allies are ready to land on Indo-China, Chinese forces in southern Yunnan will move south ward to effect juncture with the Allies" the statement said.
 It said the first objectives of such landing probably woiuld be Eaiphong or Saigon, where there arc good port facilities and ship yards. Indo-China presumably falls under Mountbatten's south- east Asia command.
 (The Melbourne radio said Ad- niral Sir Bruce Fraser, commander of the British Pacific fleet. had an- nounced that his forces had com pleted tests of their supply lines and now were ready for actionD
 The Japanese seized control of key points in Indo China Satuprday on groundns that the French al- ready were aiding American sub marines and planes in addition to to asisst an Allied land ing.
 A United Press dispatch from said Japanese troops had crossed the Chinese border from Indo- Chinese border from Indo- China near Laokai on the railway formerly connecting Hanoi and The dispatch said the move was interpreted more as to forestall any junction of French and Chinese forces than as 3 threat to Running.
 Albert Ravenholt, United Press war correspondent at Running. said lighting broke out in Hanoi and the latter just across the border from Kwangsi, when the Japanese sought to disarm some i5 900 French and Annamite troops.

SuperfOrtreSseS, Flying Without Fighter Escort, Hold Their Own Against Jap ZerOS On 60 Missions

lures On the ground at bases in In- dia. In the hot seasons, with the sun beating down on the vast ex- panse of B-2o surface skin, temper lures inside the plane sometimes rose to l95, making maintenance work impossible. Cooling systems had to be provided for such condi- tions.
 The pressurized cabin, main taining atmospheric conditions of 5000 foot elevations inside the crew compartments of the planes even when they are operating above 10000 foot levels, has full filled every expectation and is delight to the crews.
 Remote control gunnery, com- pensating sights and the tin brain" automatic range finders and computers have made the B-29 a hard fighter, and losses have been extremely low.
 FLY EASILY
 The big ships fly easily, too, and pilots are all enthusiastic about their performance. Accuracy of bombing, even from top attitudes, has been amazingly good when checked later by photo recon- naissance. Tn the first B-29 "shakedown mission" against the railroad yards at Bangkok, Thai land, last June 5, the bombs were dropped from 10000 feet, yet they fell in a dispersal pattern only 1900 yards long. In another "prac- tice raid" the Superforts dropped mines in the harbor at Palembang, Sumatra, to bottle up Japanese pee troleum shipments from the big re- finery there.
 Incidentally, the B-29 has found an unexpected use in extreme long range naval reconnaissance, when the plane is stripped down and sent out with cameras.
 Biggest problem in B-29 opera tion has been supply. The gas that they burn, the bombs that they carry and the fact that 90 per cent of Air Force materials must be borne by surface ships to distant bases indicates the size of this supply problem. For oper- ations from Saipan, which can be reached by all-water routes from the West Coast, the problem is not difficult From interior India and China the problem has been almost impossible, making sus- tained attack on Japan from the west the most difficult supply problem the Air Forces have faced.
 Only the most careful selection of targets for bombing, like Ja- pans highly concentrated steel industry and aircraft plants at Yawata and Nagoya has made this operation worth the terrific cost of forcing the B-29s to carry their own gasoline over the hump. At the attack closes in on Japan, 1t is obvious that the operations from India and west ern China must be moved to more accessible supply bases.

 That's why I'm sleep today. l spent the night at the Club Lamp lighter, which begins to jump promptly at midnight (when Byrnes insists nightclubs should close) and which shoos out the customers about the time the dawn turns from purple to pink.
 The Club Lamplighter is some place. You've got to be a member to get in, but the membership com. mittee meets on the spur of the moment. You bring your own li.' quor. The club then sells you a glass of water, tap or carbonated for 60 cents, after first collecting a $l.20 cover charge.

 washington, March l2-Comple- ton os more than 60 missions by B. % 9upertortress long-range bomb- era Of Gen. H. II. Arnolds Twelfth Air Force has proven this super bomber Co be our most effective "softening-up" weapon against stra- tegic targets in Japanese territory.
 Targets on Q single mission have been as far apart as the distance between New York and Paris. Su- perfotETesses have blasted Tokyo with telling effect on ten of their first three-score forays. Japan has been hit in at least ten places, and B-2os have smashed at Formosa, China, Manchuria, Thailand. French rndo-C China, Rangoon and Singapore.
 rorty-five of the giant bombers have been announced as having failed to return to base. Only a part of these were shot down. others were lost through me- chanical difficulties and their crews were saved.
 In return, the B-20s, travelling 1900 miles or more without fighter escort, have shot down 203 Jap planes, have listed l8l more as probably destroyed, and have dam aged 290 more-a total of STA.
 B-29 formations have had Jap anese fighter plane opposition on several of their missions. On others they have flown at high attitudes, without opposition save for anti aircraft fire of varying intensity. Thirty -one of the first 60 raids have been without losses of any kind. FIVE LOST OVER TOKYO
 Toughest opposition put up against the Superforts was on the January 27 daylight raid on the Tokyo area, when five bombers were shot down by the Japs while Superfort gunners shot down 57 Jap planes, probably destroying 2l others and damaging an addi- tional 4l a total of 119 enemy planes destroyed or damaged. The number of U. s. planes taking P&1L III any AuAN AIoS AACVCA bSCA announced.
 Superforts got their baptism of fire in June, 1914, but their capa- bilities and limitations are ust beginning to be fully understood, according to Army Air Force officers at the Tactical Training Center in Orlando, Fla, where many of the B-29 crews now in operation got their first training.
 Whether or not the Superfortress will entirely replace the B-l7 Fly ing Fortress and the B-24 Libera- tor for the next war, which every one hopes will never happen, or for maintaining the peace of the world by force If necessary, cannot be cLtagorically answered now. But it is pointed out that the IT and 24 designs are now over five years old, and few military aircraft are good that long.

 The more experienced B-29 pi- lots who have learned how to get maximum performance from their four 200o-horsepower engines and can cruise them most economically from a fuel consumption stand point, are given heavier bomb loads on the long missions. In this field there is apparently 8 great deal of

With two B-29 Air Commands now in operation-the 20th based on China and India, the 21st based on Saipan and with Superfort production being maintained at top speed in five main manufactur- ing centers, it is apparent that other Superfortress units must be in formation. though there is no in- dication on what bases they will operate.
 Extremely optimistic predictions on B-29 range and bomb loads have not been borne out in actual oper- ations. On the l50O-mile radius run from Saipan to Japan the planes
