Allied Planes, bombing the Japanese base at Lae on the Huon Gulf of northern New Guinea destroyed three grounded planes and shot down one, MacArthurr raid, and they also attacked the Japanese air base on Bougainville Island in the Solomons to the east. Allied fighters drove off in defeat de-feat a Japanese formation of nine bombing planes escorted by fighters which tried to attack Port Moresby. The communique said: "The enemy attacked Port Moresby Mor-esby with nine bombers and a tighter estiort. Damage was slight. Our fighters successfully intervened. "Lae Allied aircraft attacked enemy airdromes and destroyed three planes on the ground and one in the air. "Solomoos Bougainville: The Allies raided an enemy air port.

Mindanao: There was patrol activity only." Score Big Victory Allied fighter pilots won their biggest victory of the Australian theater Saturday when they shot down 11 out of 33 Japanese planes which attacked Darwin, the north coast Australian base. One American Ameri-can plane made a landing at an emergency field because of a broken bro-ken oil pipe. Pilots of one American fighter squadron downed 10 out of the 11 enemy planes. One shot down three bombers, two got two each. It was the 14th raid on Darwin and the first in three weeks. Now They Shave At the time of the last raid, the men of the American squadron agreed not to shave until they had won a dog fight. They shaved ceremoniously Saturday night. Eight bombers and three fighters had crashed into the sea, broken by the Allied attack. There were 24 bombers and nine zeros in the Japanese formation, forma-tion, and eight bombers and three Zeros were destroyed. The raiders came in from the sun, flying in three inverted V formations, the first two tight, the third, ragged. They went over Darwin airdrome air-drome at 20,000 feet, dropped their bombs and swung northeastward north-eastward into heavy clouds to meet the Allied fighters. The American and Australian planes dived steeply from the clouds. One American riddled a zero. It blew up and when the pilot landed there were still pieces of the zero on his ship.

The air ministry in London said that in the fourth attack on Rostock Ros-tock the British bombers rekindled rekindl-ed fires previously set and started new ones in the Heinkel works which, it is believed, may be useless use-less for months to come. In addition to Rostock, the R. A. F. carried its week-end assaults as-saults across Germany to Czechoslovakia Czecho-slovakia in a 1,500-mile round-. round-. trip assault that had the huge Skoda works at Pilsen, second biggest arms plant in Europe, as its target. The attack on the Skoda Sko-da works, aside from its des-tructiveness, des-tructiveness, was a message of encouragement to the ani-Nazi Czechs. These Czechs, part of Hitler's slave labor, have been reported to be sabotaging production in the Skoda works, slowing down the rate of production and ruining guns and ammunition. The Germans called the bombings bomb-ings of Rostock "terror attacks" and boasted of reprisal raids on Britain. The British told of German Ger-man raids nowhere approaching the R.A.F. attacks in intensity on towns of western and southwestern south-western England, one of which was identified by the Nazis at Bath, the famous resort on the southwest coast. ROOSEVELT (Continued from Page One) that legislation is not required "under present circumstances" for stabilization of wages. He added that he thought that "stabilizing the cost of living will mean wages in general can and should be kept at existing scales' Mr. Roosevelt said that leg-latioli leg-latioli would be .required to stabilize farm prices. He recalled that for nearly nine years, the government's policy had sought an objective of parity, and that some prices were now above parity, but others were still below parity level. "In fairness to the American people as a whole, and adhering to the purpose of keeping the cost of living from going up," Mr. Roosevelt asked that the present "complicated f o rmula" .which permits farm prices to rise to 110 per cent of parity Be corrected. cor-rected.

But the - high pots, for the outside world, were those directed solely to Internal morale, and it was capped by the resolution which the Nazi Reichstag passed when he finished. " The resolution said: "It is beyond", doubt that the Fuehrer In the present phase of the war hi which the German people is engaded in a life or death battle, must have the right claimed by him to do everything that serves or contributes to gaining gain-ing victory. a. ;, . "Without being bound y existing exist-ing legal rights, the Fuehrer must at any time be in position to summon sum-mon if necessary, every German, be he a soldier or officer. , low or high official or Judge, .directing or working functionary or party workman or employe, toy all means which he regards suitable, to ' fulfill his duties, ' and when Violating' these duties to punish him accordingly after conscientious conscien-tious examination of his case, regardless re-gardless of so-called well deserv ed rights, and especially to remove re-move him from his office, rank land position . without resorting to prescribed : procedure." LONDON, April 21 LE Adolf Hitler ."is perhaps planning another an-other purge"; because there are forces arising in Germany not subservient to his will, Viscount Simon, the lord chancellor, said tonight in the first government comment on Hitler's ' Sunday speech. Simon, in a broadcast reply to Hitler's speech, said: , "There are forces arising in Germany not entirely subservient subservi-ent to Hitler's will . . . certainly this last speech indicated that he is not entirely satisfied with the internal condition of Germany." The fact that Hitler asked for and got unlimited power to force every German to f'd'o his duty" regardless re-gardless of any privileges acquired ac-quired was of special interest to British " officials. During Hitler's absence from Berlin most of the time since the war began. Marshal Herman Goering has been the key figure in ruling, the nation. There was nothing specific on Hitler's speech, however, to indicate dissatisfaction dis-satisfaction with Goering. i1 (The German radio. In propaganda propa-ganda broadcast today, complained complain-ed that 'a'nti-axls circles' attempted attempt-ed to read mysterious motives into the Hitler spcerh and to discover in it symptoms -of an alleged internal in-ternal crisis,', the broadcast, complained com-plained against revival of "the worn-out whispering campaign about an alleged internal crisis in Germany.") , 1 , WASHINGTON, April 27 UJ Rep. VVllburn Cartwrlght, D., Okla, says Adolf Hitler's address to the German people on the Rus- sian. campaign reminded him of this story: JJrandpappy Morgan, hillbilly of the Ozarks, had wandered into the woods and failed . to return for supper.
