GUAM EQUATOR NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES 2000 MILES AT EQUATOR Pattern of the March Against Japan W) Solid arrow from Hawaiian islands represents U. S. navy attack on Truk, Japan's southwest Pacific naval bastion, which marks wane of Japanese domination in waters extending westward to the continent of Asia and north to the Philippines. Open arrows indicate threats to Japan's heartland from allied forces in the southwest Pacific un der General MacArthur, in India and the Aleutians. Admiral Nimitz said after the Marshall island attack that the United States was trying to reach China the quickest way and advised that communiques be watched to see the path that would be taken. Black area is controlled by Japan. Lower Draft Age Rejected Washington, Reb. 21 (IP) Flatly rejecting suggestions that the draft age be lowered from 18 to 17, members of the house military committee called today for better utilization of existing manpower resources before considering any changes in the selective service act. As an alternative to dropping the age to 17 should some new action become necessary, Chair man May (D., Ky.) said he be lieved it would be better to raise it "and take in some of the non-fathers between 38 and 45 who are now classified as over-age." "It would be better to use these men than to take fathers in their late thirties," he de clared. "No new legislation would be necessary because present law permits the induc tion of men up to 45. The arm ed services just are not taking men over 38. Both May and Rep. Harness of Indiana, a high ranking republi can member of the committee, said they could see no reason to drop the minimum induction age below 18, as he has been suggested recently in some quarters. "I don't think we should low er the draft age or raise it," Harness said. "I do not believe the manpower situation is bad enough to warrant it. What we need is better utilization of the men we now have and a culling out of the thousands of draft age men of the government pay roll." 4th Attack in (Continued from pa(?e 11 Both the American and Im perial operations were covered by Typhoons, and one plane was lost. This was the first an nouncement that the Mosquito units were in action as a part of the RAF tactical arm. Worst Defeat of War Observers said that in all probability the present attacks represented the worst single de feat of German air power since the battle of Britain. Aside from the destruction of nazi planes and the pulverized pro duction centers, they said the campaign demonstrated how thoroughly nazl defenses could be saturated when the RAF and the USAAF team at full strength aeainst targets deep in Ger many. The German air force was as sumed to be desperately amass ing a reserve against the allied Invasion of western Europe. The best opinion here held that a few more blows like the current series would condemn the luft waffe to inferiority as disastrous as that of the kaiser's air force at the end of the first World war. 24 Planes Lost A United States communique revealing German losses In the biggest daylight air attack of nil time disclosed also that only 24 American planes 21 bomb ers and three fighters failed to return from the broadside as sault which also struck the Bal tic port of Rostock.

Day and Night Against the massive allied as sault by day and by night, the Germans struck at London with a force estimated at 50 to 60 planes a relatively puny effort nevertheless shaping up as prob ably their biggest fire raid on the capital .since the 1940-41 blitz. British Mosquito bombers made a small-scale attache on Munich simultaneously with the night's main assault by four-en-gined bombers on Stuttgart, one of southern Germany's principal industrial centers. Only 10 bombers were lost in the double barrelled attack in contrast to the record loss of 79 in a raid on Leipzig only 24 hours earlier. PUD foOffer $33,000,000 Seattle, Feb. 21 U.R The Pu get Sound Power and Light com pany will be offered $33,000,000 for its electrical distribution properties in 19 western Wash ington counties; representatives of a group of public utility dis tricts disclosed today. The offer will not cover ma jor generating or transmission facilities .of the company, nor will it include transmission fa cilities in the city of Seattle. These properties will be in cluded in future negotiations with the company, however, it was announced. The offer to purchase part of the company's property was dis closed by A. G. Ziebell, chair man of the negotiating commit tee of the Puget Sound public utility district. The group mak ing the offer is the first to at tempt to buy the private util ity's properties on a system-wide basis. In regard to reports on the offer Frank McLaughlin, presi dent of the company, said no purchase proposals had been re ceived from any agency legally qualified or financially able to acquire the company's proper ties. He added that the com pany "cannot be a party to loose conversation regarding sale of its property."

'.FIJI IS. TUAMOTU IS. m Cronin Has No Faith in Japs Portland, Feb. 21 (IP) Ray mond P. Cronin, former Asso ciated Press bureau chief in Manila, who was interned in the Philippines, would like to see all Japanese deported after the war. "They have their islands out there and let's put them back on them every one of them," he told 2,500 persons here last night. "I've never met a Jap in any country in the world or at any1 time when he wasn't a Jap first, last and always." Earlier he had said in an in terview that the Yanks should execute every member of the Japanese military police when they win the war. The Japanese make military police out of army incorrigibles, he said, adding that "these gor rillas recognize no authority other than their own and even the other Japanese fear and hate them." He predicted the Japanese would treat captured Americans better as the war approaches their homeland. No prisoners have been al lowed to broadcast directly to relatives in America, he said. The messages are made up from letters written home and broad cast by an American traitor and an English-speaking Russian girl, he said. Speak ing at the annual Ore gon press conference in Eugene Saturday, Cronin said it might take 10 years to defeat the Ja panese unless a mighty effort is made at once to cut off their vast captured resources of rub ber, foodstuffs, copper and oil. Japs Lose 19 (Contlpuea Irom page l) commander of the USS Hornet, in charge ' of the carrier raid, neutralized temporarily Japan's biggest naval base outside home waters and prevented the Japa nese from sending reinforce ments to Enlwetok. Combat teams from the 22nd marine regiments, swarming ashore after a three day air and naval bombardment liter ally had levelled enemy defens es, captured their initial major objective. in Eniwetok atoll, En- gebi island at the northern end, in six hours and five minutes Friday. Hundreds of the defenders were killed in the preliminary bombardment, which included 1000 tons of aerial bombs. Rich ard V. Johnston, United Press war correspondent with the ii vasion forces, said not a single building was left standing and even the "skeletons of the de fenders were hammered down.' "The island looked as though it had been run over by a giant lawn mower that sheared off palm tops a few feet from the ground," Johnston wrote.
