DETECTIVE DEANNA

Since the police and a mystery
story writer do not believe her,
she first turns sleuth, night club
singer and finally potential victim
while pursuing her quest for the
killer.
We don't know any San Fran
cisco dehutaRteS. bat we're quite
sure that they would be able TO
eXtricate themselves from such
predicaments as Miss Durbin gets
herself involved in, with just the
use of a little common sense.
However. the script writer's
have evidently considered COM
mon sense as being excess bag
gage, because it isn't to be found
even in the baggage car.
Deanna encounters weird
family living in a ghostly old
manse on Long Island where the
will of the murdered man is being
read.
They mistake her for the sole
heireSs who. is really a night club
singer with all the hidden charms
of cobra.
She NEEDLES some more and
finds herself impersonating the
singer. a twist of script which
gives Deanna a chance to sing

ON THE FLOOR

Inf fact, all the grim details
take place in this night club,
called the Circus Club, a smart
spot where more happens TO GUS
toners than any three rings could
hold.
This is, of course, the most pre-
poSterous part of the whole af-
fair. While murders are being
committed, mirrors smashed and
customers slugged, it never occurs
TO the chief parties that they
could resort TO such a simple ex-
pedient as walking out of the
front door and calling a taxi.
But if reason knows no bounds,
neither do the guys who dreamed
this up. The only thing they can
do is TO be sure that Miss Durbin
is going TO have a better story

TIE BALLET Russo DE
MONTE CARLO opened the Ma

night with program which
danced the gamut from classical

This season this company has
kept all the promises of its
prospectus and brought us all the
stars who didn't appear last year,
as we'll as a very fine corps de
ballet.
But although the company is in
excellent form. they didn't seem
quite as enthusiastic about put
ting on last nights performance
as they have in previous appear
ances here.
This may be partly due TO the
orchestra which was sadly out Of
sorts with the company and OBJ
viouSly showed that there had
been no rehearsal. despite the
frantic attempts of conductors
Boutnikoff and Balaban TO get the
musicians n d the dancers to-
gether.
COLD AUDIENCE
Also there was a curious lack

up mostly of subscription concert

The performance opened with
the usual classical starter, Les

jap Reinforcements at Two
Blocked by New Rocket Attacks

these enemy fighters would attempt
to follow the Americans to ascertain
just what was going on. But they
made few effort to attack.
The aircraft were PBJ's, Marine
Corps version of the Army B-24. but
1t was necessary to equip them with
rockets instead OF bombs, because
Of the length of their mission
sometimes as much as 1900 miles
and for as long as 1872 hours. The
bofnb-weight allowance was taken
up by additional gas tanks in order
to cover the mileage involved.
Col. Cram said this rocket fir
ing at night against shipping was
a new idea. But the experiment
turned out to be quite effective, par
ticularly against cargo ships, troop
transports and their destroyer es-
corts. The squadron was used en-
tirely against shipping and made no
attacks against the land installa-
tions on Two.
They Slipped Up.
He expressed the opinion the
japanese realized when the Amer
leans began bombing Two last Mo-
vember that something was in the
wind, but they didn't start their
frantic efforts to reinforce the gar
risons there until about two weeks
before the landing. He said at that
time they began to send "a lot Of
stuff" down. They first sent it to
Haha Jima and Chichi Jima In
large ships and then put it into
smaller vessels for further dispatch
to Two. He said during the last two
weeks the hunting was particularly
good between these three points
and because OF this the morale of
the flyers was kept at high pitch
The new form Of night aerial at
tack, he asserted, really proved a
surprise to the japanese. Prior to
the appearance of the marine
squadron they had been subjected

only to daylight attacks. But they
began to increase their nisi1t
fighter protection Of the conveys.
However, he said, 1t was not very
effective either because their equip
fnent was not as good as the Amer
leans or the pilots not as expert
enced.
During thu period the marines
operated in that area they attacked
40 ships and witnessed explosions
or fires In 20 Of them. He said, how
ever, that it was a difficult problem
to assess damage at night, and they
only reported those where they def
nitely saw explosions or fires.
Two no Surprise.
He reported that no one was sur
prised at the resistance which con-
fronted the forces which landed on
Two. He added that it was pretty
we'll understood by all hands what
they were running into. They knew
it was we'll fortified and that many
of the installations were under
ground, and carefully prepared.
He said the new form OF low alti-
tude rocket attack has a definite ad-
vantage in protection for the flyers.
adding that they would rather
operate on dark than on moonlight
nights. He said the rockets were
quite effective and could be fired
with considerable accuracy.

Search for the slayers of Edward
Barker and Pany Casbarian was at

they were without clues or suspects
in the double killing Friday night
in a trailer at Fourteenth and N

Police were still hopeful, however,
that continued questioning of
habitues of bars and poolrooms in
the vicinity might give them a
break in the case.
Mr.. Barker was buried in Rock

ices attended by relatives and close
friends of the 65-year auto
dealer. The dead mans partner,
John Barnes. was among those
present. -..-
Funeral services will be held at
2. pm. today at Hysong's funeral
parlors for Mr.. Casbarian. Burial
will be in Glenwood Cemetery.
More than a score of persons
were questioned by police yester-
day, among them Jack Oldham,
who was with Miss Adelaide Sturgis
when she found the bodies of the
two men in the trailer used as a
business ONCE by Mr. Barker. Both
men had been shot twice in the
head.

employe, could add nothing to the

laps Sea Lifeline
From Conquered Isles
Cut, Navy Declares

The japanese sea born lifeline
over which the enemy brought
supplies from the Southwest Pa
cif1c to the home islands has
been completely cut by the air
strikes of United States carrier
task forces and by land based
planes, a naval spokesman re-
vealed at a press conference
today.
1.-The Japs now cannot move a
thing up and down the China coast
or through the China Seas either
day or night" he said.
At the same time, the spokesman
disclosed the losses in planes and
ships the Japanese suffered in Ad-
miral Halsey's now famous 5000
mile sweep up and down the China
coast and the two carrier strikes on
Tokyo on February 16 and II and
last Sunday.
1,610 Planes Destroyed.
Since December /, the American
forces destroyed a total of 1910
planes and damaged 1,078, sank 1877
ships and damaged 1888, while losing
a total of 178 planes There were
no naval vessel combat losses in the
operations covered.
During carrier strikes in Deem
Der and January, the air forces de-
stroyed or damaged a total of 1,796
enemy planes In this same period
they sank 1853 ships. including small
vessels, and damaged 354 ships
During those two months our losses
were 100 planes.
The spokesman said 314 enemy
planes were shot down, 629 were de-
stroyed on the ground and 1853 prob
ably were destroyed or damaged
during the two months. All of this
damage was inflicted on the enemy
by Admiral Halsey's Sd Fleet carrier
forces.
Only Nine Fighters Lost.
In the first carrier strike on Tokyo
on February Is and II, the sea- borne
aerial forces destroyed 500 planes
and damaged $50; sank IA vessels
and damaged 22-all at cost of 40
American planes.
In last Sundays strike by Vice
Admiral Marc A. Mitsohers 5th Fleet
Task Force, 1873 planes were de-
stroyed and rs damaged, small en-
envy vessels were sunk and coastal
vessels and small craft were prob
ably sunk at cost of only 9 fighter
planes.
Admiral Halsey's first sweep
through the China Sea up and down
the China coast from Saigon to
SWatoW was the beginning of the
process to throttle the supply line
of the japanese between their home
islands and territory in the South
west Pacific which they took early
in the war. The air sweeps in the
China Sea are being carried out day
and night by American air forces
both from the land and sea, and
much of it is being done in heavy
weather and in periods of poor
visibility.

Senator George, Democrat, of

The wages paid such workers
