Speculation on Plans to
Invade Europe Growing
In Feverish Intensity
LONDON. Junp 7(AP) The
Eighth U. S. army air force was
expanded today by,the arrival of
another large contingent of air
men and equipment, and already
feverish invasion speculation was
heightened by . Prime Minister
Churchill's continuing round of
conferences believed to bear di
rectly on the Washington war
strategy meeting and his visit to
North Africa.
For military reasons I h e
strength of the U. S. air unit just
arrived at a British port was
kept seceret, but it is known that
iMimbers and their crews have
streamed across the Atlantic as
the weather improved and that
ground personnel, bombs and
ol her equipment have been arriv
ing regularly by boat.
The lull in the aerial onslaught
to soften Europe for land inva
sion continued into its ninlh day.
Bad wealher over I he continent
was given as the reason for the
lay-off, although there was some
speculation the heavy bombers
had shifted to the Mediterranean
area for concentrated action on
lhat potential invasion front. The
Daily Mail said the RAF had a
new bombing policy giant raids
aimed at obliterating a largo in
dustrial center in a single night.
The RAF struck at channel
shipping and French coastal dis
trict Sunday and nazi fighter
bombers hit at a southeast coast
al town, which the German radio
said was Eastbourne.
Guessing on Leaders
The invasion guessing contin
ued in I-ondon's press, with the
Daily Herald declaring Gen.
George C. Marshall, U. S. army
chief of staff, probably would
head invasion forces in the Med
iterranean theater while a Brit
ish general might direct any in
vasion against the northern Eu
ope coast.
The Daily Express said the

SOMETHING new is added to
the news picture.
There's a revolution of some
sort in Argentina which seems
to be led by the army and to be
directed a t Dictator-President
Castillo, who has been both pro
axis and hard-boiled social re
actionary. IT'S impossible to say as this is
written whether the revolution
has grown out o the pro-axis
war issue or the hard-boiled re
actionary domestic issue.
The two, however, are so close
ly related that the result on the
war situation will probably be
the same in either event, as the
big landowners and Argentine
aristocrats who have been back
ing Castillo lean toward the axis
while the generally anti-Castillo
middle classes (it there can he
said to be a middle class in Ar
gentina) and the workers have
been more sympathetic with our
side.
ARGENTINA is the ONLY west
ern hemisphere nation retain
ing diplomatic relations with the
axis, and as a natural result has
' become a hotbed of German, Ital
ian and Japanese spies and pro
pagandists. (Argentina hasn't been defi
nitely and flatly pro-axis. -Under
Castillo, her neutrality has been
friendly toward Germany as our
neutrality before Pearl Harbor
was friendly to Britain.)
THE battle of the Yangtze river
is said to have turned into a
ROUT of the Jap forces, which
are being battered ceaselessly hy
American and Chinese AIRMEN.
The Chinese are reported to be
taking towns EAST of the impor
tant north and south Canton-

Argentina Situation Messed

Rawson Resigns
Chief Post Gives
Reins to Ramirez
BUENOS AIRES, June 7 lAP)
Gen. Arturo Rawson resigned
as head of Argentina's new gov
ernment today and charged Gen.
Pedro Raminez with organizing a
new regime after the two revo
lutionary leaders had failed to
agree on the constitution of a
cabinet.
Rawson, who ousted President
Ramon S. Castillo in a coup
d'etat, last Friday, was to have
been sworn in as president to
day. In a communique, he announc
ed that "the impossibility of
reaching an' agreement on the
constitution of a new cabinet"
had compelled him to resign "as
leader of the revolutionary forces
and chief of the provisional gov
ernment." At the same time Ramirez, min
ister of war under Castillo and
slated to hold the same post un
der Rawson, issued a statement
advising the people and the arm
ed forces that he had assumed
Ihe powers abandoned by Raw
son. The rapid change in Argen
tina's confusing political situa
tion followed by only a few hours
the issuance of a decree by Raw
son dissolving congress, which
was to have convened tomorrow.
The decree said that "at the prop
er time, measures will be taken
for Ihe constitution of a new con
gress." There wore no further details
on the disagreement between
Ihe iwo leaders of . Ihe revolu
tion. Popular Election Doubtful.
(Dispatches from Montevideo
said that observers there had seen
a clear pattern of ultrarightest
tendencies in the first moves of
the Rawson government which in
several proclamations, decrees
and orders failed to mention ev
en once the words democracy and
freedom.
(These observers noted, the dis
patches said, that the decree dis
solving congress had carefully
avoided the word "elections," and
had referred instead to the "con
stitution of a now congress,"
which might leave the door open
to the appointment of a legisla-

WASHINGTON, June 7-(AP)
Heavy bombing raids on the
Japanese at Kiska in the Aleu
tians were reported by the navy
today in a communique which
told also of the bombing of Mun
da on New Georgia island and
enemy positions on Choiseul is
land in the Solomons.
At Choiseul bombs silenced en
emy emplacements, but at Kiska
and Munda results of the attacks
were not observed.
The navy had given additional
indications of America's mount

Japanese Zero fighters, a for
mation of bombers, escorted by
United States fighter planes,
sent an enemy destroyer to Ihe
bottom and set fire to a cargo
ship and a corvette off Bougain
ville island in the northwestern
Solomons.
At least 15 of what the navy
described yesterday as a "large
force" of Japanese Zero planes
were downed and three others
damaged in the battle, which oc
curred Saturday. Four United
States planes were reported miss
ing. Far to the northeast, waves of
bombers continued their soften
ing up of the beleaguered Japa

in the Aleutians, hy raiding it
five times Friday. The bombers,
which scored hits on buildings
and gun emplacements, were es
corted by fighter planes hut
there was no mention of any op
position. A few hours before the attack
on enemy shipping off Bougain
ville, a formation of flying Fort
resses spilled bombs on Japanese
installations at Kahili, in the
Buin area of the same island.

Plan to Release

California Bared
FRESNO, Calif., June 7.
-(AP)
A concentrated and well
plan
ned effort is being made through
out California to prepare public
opinion lor the release ot Amen-
can-born Japanese from reloca
tion centers and to permit them
to return to their homes in the
western defense command
Tills statement was made here
today by State Senator Hugh M.
Burns of Frsno as he gave a pre
liminary and partial report of an
Investigation of Tulo Lake relo
cation center he made as chair
man of the northern California
subcommittee of the joint legisla
tive fact finding committee on
un-American activities.
"We will expose the organiza
tion sponsoring Ibis move and
present substantiating evidence
of its activities at a public hear
ing," Burns said.
"Residents of the Tult Lake
district are seriously alarmed at
the lack of restraint on the Ja
panose," Burns declared. "Despite
regulations of the war relocation
authority stating the internees
must stay within the relocation
center at all times, it is a fact
well known lo citizens of the area
the Japanese wander in and out
apparently at will and with no re
strletions placed on their activi
ties."
Burns cited statements of resl
dents of the district to the effect
a large party of the Japanese
were seen smoking within a fire
restricted national forest area,
that others were seen on Ihe prop
erly of a rancher who was absent
from home at the time and who
afterwards reported the theft of a
radio, private papers and other
articles.
"No effeclive method has been
found to keep them at farm
work the full day they are suppos
ed to put in for their compensa
Hon," Burns said. "They start
late and quit early, and strikes
are of frequent occurrence.1
Commenting on Ihe Tule Lake

said they apparently were caus

dealt with the evacuees' willing

Fortresses Raid Four
Fascist Warships in
Harbor of La Spezia
(By the Associated Press)
Pantelleria island, the "Italian
Gibraltar" which has been all but
pulverized by weeks of aerial and
naval pounding, bodre the scars
of a new round-the-clock Ameri-
can and British bombing offen
sive today.
Pantelleria, standing on the
possible ferry route of an Inva
sion army, underwent a series of
heavy assaults both through Sat
urday night and Sunday, an allied
headquarters communique said,
while U. S. airmen from the des
ert air force pounded with their
bombers at both sides of Messina
strait, between Sicily and the
Italian mainland.
The aerial assault on Pantel
leria followed its fifth bombard- .
ment in a week by units of the
British navy which sent shells
screaming into coastal defenses
at dawn Saturday.
These attacks obviously were
designed to knock out the island's
defeises preparatory to actual
landing attempts or to neutralize ,
military establishments that the
enemy garrison would be power-,
less to Interfere with an amphibi
ous attack elsewhere.
Italian Warships Blasted. ;
In all phases of the war Italy's
position appeared to be growing
more desperate.
The largest formations of
American Flying Fortresses ever
sent from Africa flew 1,400 miles,
round trip, Saturday to the naval
base of LaSpezia to tumble
2,000-pound bombs on a concen
tration of Premier Mussolini's
battlefleet.
Some of the returning airmen
said bombs fell among three 35,-
000-ton battleships, the Ltttorlo,
Vittorlo Venlto and the Roma,
damaging at least one and pos
sibly all three, damaging a heavy
cruiser, blowing up a merchant
ship and doing great damage to
port Installations. There was so
much smoke and lire that an of- .
ficial report on the wreckage was
left until later reconnaissance.
The raid, by more than 100
Fortresses, was the farthest north
raid yet made from north Africa,
British Subs Also Score.
Tills onslaught against Musso
lini's ace card against invasion,
was matched by the audacity of
British submarines prowling the
gulfs and harbors of the Italian
coast. A British admiralty com
munique yesterday said one sub
marine had shelled an airfield on
the northern Corsican coast, while
others had sunk six ships, dam
aged a seventh and probably tor
pedoed an eighth In forays into

Cease Pleasure

Motorists Urged
PORTLAND, June 7. (AP)
McDannell Brown, chief enforce
ment attorney for the district
OPA advised Oregon motorists
today to stop all pleasure driv
ing. "No one has a moral right to do
any' pleasure driving at all," he
said.
In explanation of recent OPA
Investigations of cars at fishing
streams and summer resorts.
Brown said, "though each auto
mobile owner, whether he has an
A, B or C book, has an allow-'
unco of 90 miles a month for fam
ily driving, It Is not intended for
pleasure trips. Family driving
is allowed for two purposes to
permit necessary shopping, trips
lo the doctor and so forth, and
to keep the car In good condition.
"To leave a car in the garag.?
for two months, save up the cou
pons and take u 180-mile vacation
trip accomplishes neither of these
purposes. In the east such use oE
a car incurs severe penalties,
though in the west nothing has
been done about it yet.
"When a car with A, B or C
sticker, however, Is found park
ed beside a trout stream or at a
summer resort, the presumption
is strongly against the owner o
die car, and his ration board U
