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. .

Washington, April 15 VP)
Robert R. 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-
