sTRoNGHoLDs BLASTED

Farther north heavy bombing
attacks were made on the Kuriles,
Nagoya. Hongkong, Two Jima,
Osaka, and Palambang, in the
Dutch East Indies.
The intensified aerial activity in
the north during the last three
weeks has been most disturbing
to the Japanese.
They are attempting to figure
out whether the Americans are
trying to prevent Jap air rein
forcements from being sent to
Luzon, or getting ready to in
wade Forn1osa as springboard
for drive on the China coast
or against Japan proper.
NEW LANDINGS FEARED
The japanese apparently be-
lieVe that u. s operations in the
Philippines will be followed by
Allied landings on the China
coast. This fear has prodded the
high command into rushing plans
TO block a probable American in
vasion Of the China coast.
They also are hurrying repairs
on railroads and bridges on the
land corridor through the interior
Of China 10 Singapore so they
can shift troops quickly, II neces-
saFy.
Moreover the Japanese have eX-
tended protection on the area
around Hongkong as a safeguard
against any American landing on
the China coast north OF that
port. In Chekiang province they
have extended their holdings in
order 10 counter any American
land south OF Shanghai.
The strategic portent OF the
American advance 10 the Philip
pines is that Japan'S maritime
highway TO all of her colonial
empire soon will be completely
severed.
Closing the sea lane would bar
Japan from oil. tin, rubber and
other essential raw materials so
vitality necessary for her war
operations.

atmosphere of the earth; the projectile literally runs off and leaves the sound in its descent
 As against this highly destructive but largely aim- less weapon the Allies, too, have greatly increased their striking power There could be no more graphic illustration of this than the 22OO0-pound bomb which the Royal Air Force is using selected targets such as railyards and war plants in Germany It was so long ago that the world marveed at the block buster" 2,0O0-pou bomb then the "super block buster" of two tons. The 11-ton bomb creates an entirely new concept of bomb power Considering the destructive violence of only few pounds of high explosives only dimly imagine the blast of Il tons. And, unlike the new big rocket bombs of the Germans, 11-ton aerial bomb is almost wholly that weight of high explosive.
 It is this trend toward greater destruction which prompts to pay heed to those who say that civilization could not survive third world We must-we simply must-take whatever steps are neces- sary to prevent it.

NEW HORRORS

The destructive implements of this war have in creased effectiveness frghtfully since the conflict began It will be remembered the horror which was evoked by the first wholesale of aerial bombs. The experience of Barcelona foretaste what was to be expected and many people concluded that war; fare had reached peak in frightfulness. They were mostly IOO-pound bombs which German, Italian and Spanish airmen showered on Barcelona-puny things indeed in comparison with what was to come.
 Then came the fire bomb attack upon London, interarded with heavy high explosive bombs. That seemed to epitomze the development of airborne de- struction And that too is rendered puny in com parison with what we have today
 There is the almost inconceivable violence of the German rocket bombs, which strike with an obterat- ing blast anywhere at almost any time-before they are heard or seen. They travel faster than sound, there warning only the terrific explosion at their impact The rocket bombs create an eerie screech which is audible only after their blastit is the sound of their descent from the straosphere back into the

Airpower in the Battle
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 Airpower is playing a tremendous part in the battle on the western front Coupled with strategic blows aimed at the interior of Germany, including shattered Berlin and a score of rail, oil and supply targets the coordnated blows by Allied air forces based in Britain, France and Italy have continued now for more than two weeks on an unprecedented scale. Their aim is to deny to Germany, in large measure, the advantage of central position The strikes of the heavy bombers are aimed at parayzng nerve centers both of production and of transport, as well as the destruction of diminishing stocks Of fuel and munitions. The strikes of the tactical air forces show developing pattern of sealing off elements of armies in the field and setting up zones of interdction through which those armies cannot receive needed supply and reinforcement
 Cutting of railway lines by destruction of tracks and bridges is job that be repeated again and again. However the effect of this sort of attack is cumulative Materials and men must be moved to the point of damage This takes time. And time is of the essence when a commander like von Rundstedt is trying to stretch his toothn forces to protect long line under attack by stronger and better supplied in vaders The damage to rolling stock, both rail and highway has not the quickly reparable quality Of damage to tracks, yards and culverts Locomotives, tank cars fuel trucks and the other implements o1 transport only be replaced at a comparatively slowly and with immense and growing effort 1n the present state of Germany.
 Airpower even to the extent of the complete dominance which we exercise in Europe, has shown that it cannot entirely prevent stubborn ana dangerous resistance by determined troops. On the other hand it is demonstrating more clearly than ever before that, having destroyed enemy arpoWer, it can disrupt his transport sap his producuon' deplete his stores and isolate his armies from support

THURSDAY, MARCH 29

THURSDAY, MARCH zS
 This is not an important day in planetary direction. There is sign Nindicating unusual storms all through the Spring.
 HEART AND HOME
 In the family circle today frayed nerves may precipitate quarrels. War strain will be reflected in civilian life and general health will be af- fected. Coming months will test the patience and courage of the nation. BUSINESS AFFAIRS Women, who spend most of the money required for family supplies, will benefit greatly through war ex- periences, it is forecast. Employment in industries will teach them the value of system and order; thus housekeeping methods will improve.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Astrologers warn that years of war may bring about a realistic ac- ceptance of it's terrible routine. Danger that the lofty idealism will be replaced by stern materialism is stressed by the seers. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Desire for peace will encourage discussion of a modification of the unconditional surrender demand but the stars seem to presage stubborn adherence to the edict of our war leaders. Certain Americans will ap- peal for clemency in dealing with our enemies.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of perplexities. Many changes are foretold. Children born on this day probab- fly will be bright and energetic. These Aries young folks early know just what they want to do with their talents and opportunities.

SENATORIAL PIQUE

The Senators then got oown to a discussion of the individual of ficers whose promotion they had been asked to approve. They weren't too happy about Gen. Somervell, head of Army Service Forces but where they really agreed was in their objection to promoting It. Gen. Joseph McNarney to be full general. McNarney is now Deputy Supreme Allied Commander in the Mediterranean area.
 AS Deputy Chief of Staff until a few months ago, McNarney suc- ceeded, in his frequent appearances before the committee, in winning the dislike of nearly all members. They didn't care for his person. ality and never had much respect for his ability. They remembered particularly the time during the last Congress when Senators OMahoney, Chandler and Bridges went to the War Department to find out about the Army's plan to destroy a huge file of complaints brought against officers named for promotion.
 Not all members are certain that there was anything wrong with the Army's plan, but all remember that they didn't care for McNarney's reception of the three Senators
 Finally it was agreed that Gen Marshall should be brought to ap- pear before the committee before t acted on any of the nominations Disguised with the whole proceed ure, Senator Chandler declared So far as I am concerned, I will support bill to permit Marshall to promote anyone he wants without Senate confirmation. We're just supposed to be here as rubber stamp, guess"
 Note-Gen. Marshall, in a super secret session later in the week, ex- rlamed his passing over Patton Patch, Hodges and Simpson by pointing out that they. were all subordinate to Bradley and Devers Krueger, he explained, is subordi- nate to Macarthur, who is five star general. Thus, Krueger's rank will not be as high as that of his superior, just as Bradley and Devers will outrank the generals under them if their promotion is approved but will be ranked in turn by Eisenhower Marsh was put through long grilling on McNar- ney, who once established the rule that no colonels, no matter how well trained, could go overseas 10!

When live-wire Democratic Char man Bob Hannegan met with Cabi- ret chiefs, off -the-record, recently to prepare for the 1946 Congres- sional elections, he emphasized the importance of closer cooperation with Congress.

CRACKDOWN ON FRANCO

Credit UNRRA with being at least one Washington agency which has cracked down on Fascist Spain, end in no uncertain terms Perhaps this is because it is an international organization.
 Anyway, UNRRA has issued a confidential but emphatic order that no supplies shall be purchased from Spain This is in direct con- flict with the State Department, which not only sanctions the pur- chase of goods from Spain, but, much more important, gives export licenses for the shipment of pre- cious oil and gasoline to Spain without which the Franco Govern ment would fall overnight.
 UNRRA's position was made clear when it was urged to buy 00o00 wool blankets from Spain. Cover nor Lehman and staff then issued the following order:
 The question of purchasing re-  lief supplies from neutral countries arose on several occasions, lately through European Regional Office requests for authority to purchase 100000 wool blankets from Spain. It is the view of the Bureau of Areas that since the Government of Spain is known to be pro-Axis, there should not be any UNRRA procurement in Spain"
 Note-Nazi troops still holding seven vital French ports and ham, lering the landing of U. S. supplies in France have managed to hold out partly through supplies snug gled in by Franco's ships Six of these ships were sunk by the AL lies recently.
