By Devon Francis (Wide World Aviation Editor) New York, April 15. Reports of American successes in air combat, often against odds, in the Asiatic theater of war make it appropriate at this time to re-examine statements made three months ago about the quality of the opposing air forces. Given anything like numeri cal equality, United States air men have definite advantages over the Japanese in initiative, courage and air fighting tech nique. They proved it this week in raids from Australian bases and in smashing defensive tac tics in Burma. Japs Seasoned That is doubly significant In light of the fact that the Jap anese have had more than four years of actual combat to season their air force. Aside from the carrier-borne aircraft which have participated sparingly but tellingly in the war, the United States has pit ted only two standard types of warplanes against the Japanese. One is the Curtis P-40 single seater fighter. The other is the four-tngine heavy Boeing flying fortress bomber. When the war began with Pearl Harbor, partisans of American air power began read justing their sights. Perhaps, they said, the Japanese had been under-rated in the air, and per haps too much optimism had been expressed about the quali ty of American planes. - There is little question that the Japanese were under-rated, particularly as regards the num ber of planes they would be able to throw into an all-out war. They have had numbers where numbers counted. Their bomb ing forays have been deadly, though their accuracy in high altitude attacks on many occa sions has been miserable. A recent dispatch from Burma said a Japanese attack on Lashio had left military objectives al most untouched. The bomb loads were dropped from 20,000 feet. Even low-altitude attacks in the Java campaign by the Japanese frequently had indif ferent results. Use Pattern Bombing The Japanese frequently have achieved their effects by pattern bombing covering a consider able area by unloading simult aneously from tight formations and not by striking at a speci fic objective. In that respect they have followed the German scheme, which is in sharp con trast to the tactics developed by the British and Americans. Any criticism of the quality of American airplanes in the Orient revolves around their motive cower. The old style P-40, for instance, does not have London, April 15. (JP) A Norwegian government-in-exile spokesman estimated today that the German-controlled Quisling regime had imprisoned 2.000 teachers and Lutheran ministers in the occupied kingdom in the past six weeks. This, he said, was done In an effort to crush opposition to establishment of a nazi youth organization and . a "teacher's front" in Norway. The spokesman said 7,000 Nor weglans, including most of the country's labor leaders, now were in concentration or forced labor camps. .

Guthrie, former war production board official, told senate investigators today that reluctance of certain WPB offi cials to curtail civilian consump tion had confronted the nation with wool shortage similar to that existing in rubber. - Testifying at hearings con ducted by the committee on re quest of Donald M. Nelson, WPB chairman, Guthrie said his resignation on March 14 as di rector of the textiles branch of the agency resulted from a "basic disagreement" with other officials as to the speed with which civilian industry should be converted to war purposes. Nelson Lauded He asserted that since his resignation Nelson had done a "commendable Job of re quiring the conversion of virtu ally all civilian -durable goods Industries to war work." "Unfortunately," he added, "the consummation of the all out program which -Mr. Nelson has announced rests in the hands of men who found it Impossible to formulate such a policy them- I selves. 'The type of thinking which allowed olnball and luke box manufacture to continue until May Is not a Jap-stopping type of approach." Guthrie named rnuip neea, chief of the WPB's industry branches, Kenneth Marriner, whom he described aa an officer and owner of a. Boston wool firm and one of the director! of the WPB wool program, as among those who opposed his policies. Wool Action Fought Contending that civilian uses of wool should have' been re stricted much earlier, Guthrie said that the direction of the wool program "remains In the hands of a man who has consist ently opposed drastic action to conserve wool, who stated in the presence of several members of the textiles branch that he was in Washington to represent his company and the woolen in dustry; who reported to a con gressional committee only three weeks ago that a shortage of wool positively did not exist, de spite the fact that, according to his own testimony, our assured supplies of . wool will fully clothe an army no larger than 3.600,000 men, and only through 1943, without any allowance whatever for civilian require- Attention Ladies!
