Week No. 4220 SALT LAKE WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Axis Threat to Western Hemisphere Forestalled by Move on Martinique; Nazis Begin Eastern Crimean Drive To Gain Needed Caucasian Oil Fields (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) I moioaiiPH by Western Newspaper Union.). PROTECTORATE: In Caribbean Dealing directly with Adm. Georges Robert as the "ultimate governing authority" ot the French possessions in the Caribbean and French Guiana, the United States moved to forestall the Axis powers from gaining any foothold in the Western hemisphere. Upon orders from President Roosevelt, American representatives arrived at Martinique and informed Admiral Robert that the United States desired to place troops in the French possession to guard against GERMAN DRIVE: In Eastern Crimea The d Nazi spring drive finally began with a thrust to-ward Kerch in the eastern Crimea. Kerch is a key peninsular point along the shortest route to the Cau-casian oil fields. The Nazis' main effort was direct-- ' ed, as many observers thought it Would be, at driving across the Kerch peninsula to win the rich fuel deposits. Too, they would be in a position to threaten the Allied east-ern flank in Iran, another oil king-dom. Comparative quiet had pre-vailed in the Kerch peninsula since last December when the Russians hurled the Germans back from the town of Kerch. Neutral observers stated that ap-proximately 2,000,000 men were in action on the Donetz front. Early reports indicated vast Nazi strength on the front between Dne-propetrovsk and the peninsula. MALTA: More Bombs In a ceremony punctuated by fall-ing Nazi bombs, Great Britain's Lord Gort was sworn in as the new governor and commander-in-chie- f of Malta, the "most bombed spot on earth." Lord Gort took his oath of office amid the ruins of a building smashed in a previous attack. Bombs were ! U it ; i & f ft 'r" ; ' TRAP SPRUNG: On Jap Invaders A stirring story of how Japanese invading forces on the Burma road were sent reeling back by a surprise blow from a "trapped" Chinese army was told by dispatches from Chungking. The Chinese on the Burma road followed their prearranged plan. They allowed the Japs to sweep into Yunnan province and lengthen their communication lines. The Japs ad-vanced triumphantly. A strong Chinese army, which the Japs had bypassed in central Bur-ma, struck hard into the exposed rear lines of the invaders. The maneuver cut off the main commu-nication route and line of retreat of the Japanese units, which had split into two columns to try to outflank the Chinese. One of these columns was wiped out in the first 24 hours of fighting. The other forces were expected to be "liquidated within a few days," said a Chinese com-munique. GAS RATIONED: On Eastern Seaboard Approximately one-thir- d of all au-tomobile owners in the eastern sea-board states have been limited to three gallons of gasoline a week by an order from the Office of Price Administration. The one-thir- whose use of auto-mobiles is classed as will be entitled to purchase a total of 27 gallons of gasoline from May 15 to July 1, when a permanent ra-tioning plan goes into effect. Motorists have been classified in five categories for rationing pur- - falling throughout the proceedings and the chief justice administering the oath had his hand cut and bleed-ing from a wound sustained during the raid. More than 10,000 high explosive, armor piercing bombs have been dropped on Malta this year, accord-ing to an Alexandria, Egypt, source. The island, lying off the coast of Italy in the Mediterranean, has been under constant attack by the Nazi bombing forces because it guards the vital Axis supply routes to Af-rica and the Middle East As a result of these continuing raids an official British check-u- p shows that Malta's property losses include 15,500 homes, 70 churches, 18 convents, 22 schools and eight hospitals. Seventy-fiv-e per cent of the property in Valetta, the princi-pal city, has been made uninhabita-ble by the attacks. CORAL SEA: Heavy Toll Exacting a toll of at least 21 Jap-anese warships in the Battle of the Coral Sea, American sea and air forces combined to slap back a Jap fleet in its first major attempt to smash through the outer defenses of Australia. Advanced Allied bases reported that at least 500 planes took part in the five-da- y battle which was fought 450 miles off the northeast coast of Australia. Battered remnants of the attack-ing Jap forces were reported to ADMIRAL JOHN H. HOOVER Messenger to Martinique. any Axis threat. The state depart-ment ignored Pierre Laval, chief of the Vichy government, to deal di-rectly with Robert. Adm. John H. Hoover, represent-ing the United States, made it defi-nite that this country would desire to garrison the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, off Newfoundland, in addition to Martinique and Guade-loupe in the Caribbean sea. The state department emphasized that no ultimatum was being served on the French admiral. Robert had been friendly with the two previous American missions since the fall of France in 1940. PRIME MINISTER: A Report As he reviewed the war on the second anniversary of his rise to the premiership, Prime Minister Wins-ton Churchill of Great Britain indi-cated that he believed the tide of battle had turned in the favor of the United Nations. While he foresaw suffering ahead he told his people that deserved to hear the encouraging news that Britain's great air force had been constantly bombing a number of Nazi industrial cities and "would continue to bomb them." Churchill warned the Nazis that if they used poison gas against Rus-sia, that this same RAF would be used to carry gas warfare in the "largest possiDle scale against mili-tary objectives in Germany." This remark received snecial nttpntinn am - I !, IinffniMftmir-- y,,mtan,' - poses. Holders of "A" cards are nonessential. "B-l,- " "B-2- " and "B-3- " cards have been issued to mo-torists, including workers in arms industries, whose cars are necessary in pursuit of their employment. The amount of gasoline they receive de-pends upon the amount of daily mile-age they declared at registration time. It ranges from 4 57 to 8 17 gallons a week. The "X" cards were issued to unrestricted users, including buses, taxicabs, physicians, nurses, ambu-lances, hearses, ministers, highway maintenance crews and government of municipally operated cars. TRADE BARRIERS: Impose 'Heavy Toll' In an g message to the Federal-Stat- e Conference on War Restrictions, President Roose-velt declared that legal obstacles to commerce, arising frorn a desire for regional and local advantage, have imposed a heavy toll on the national war effort Rep. Emanuel Celler of New York, in a radio broadcast, pointed out a vivid illustration of existing trade barriers: "Rhode Island requires that all milk brought in from neighboring states must be colored 'pink.' Ima-gine drinking pink milk. The ob-vious purpose is to keep out 'foreign' milk and make all drink Rhode Is-land milk.'" However, trucking restrictions were responsible for most of the wrath. Public Roads Commissioner Mac- - ' Donald said .the following reguia- - tions would remove the most seri-ous stoppages of interstate truck traffic: : Maximum width tor trucks 96 inches; height, 12 feet 6 inches; length, 35 feet for single vehicles and 45 feet for combinations; load for a single axle, 18,000 pounds-gros- s weight, 30,000 pounds for ve-hicles having two axles and 40,000 pounds for vehicles with three' or more. less than 24 hours before he spoke, Russia had reported that the Nazis were using gas mines in the battle of the Crimea. War shipments through the Arctic supply route are definitely getting through to Russia, said the prime minister, although there have been losses to the United Nations in these convoys. He also thinks Russia's army is growing stronger. COAL: Reserve Supplies Repeated warnings issued by the nation's coal dealers were strength-ened when Donald M. Nelson, war production chief, declared that emergency rationing of coal is prob-able unless consumers build up their reserve supplies immediately to the limit of storage. Nelson pointed out that the fuel oil situation on the East coast and winter transportation problems make stockpiling operations now of utmost importance to all consumers who are dependent on coal for heat-ing their homes or running their factories. Joseph B. Eastman, director of the Office of Defense Transporta-tion, stated that "there is no short-age of coal, nor will there be. But if consumers wait until the fall and winter months to fill their require-ments, a serious transportation shortage will possibly result. This we must avoid." Commander of U. S. naval forces in the great battle of the Coral sea was Vice Admiral Herbert Fairfax Leary of Washington, D. C. Admiral Leary is a gunnery expert and won the Navy Cross in World War I. have limped northward to their bases in New Britain and the Solo-mon islands following the rout. Sweeping, .claims by the Japs as to their success in ,the battle were discounted by both General MacAr-thu- r in Australia and by the navy department in Washington. MacAr-thur'- s headquarters described Jap reports of Allied losses as "entirely fictional" and the navy .department stated that while reports' of the dam-age to U. S. forces was still incom-plete, neither a U. S. aircraft car-rier nor a battleship had been lost. HIGHLIGHTS the week's news TOKYO ATTACK: Now It's 'Official' Three weeks after American bombing planes rained bombs on Tokyo and other Japanese cities, the raid has been confirmed by an 'offi-cial U. S. war department commu-nique. The bombing flight was made in mid-da- and the "selected tar-gets were unmistakable and were accurately attacked." Further the communique stated that. "Military naval and industrial plants were the objectives." Some of the large fan, burned at least two days. PRESIDENTS: ' Visit U.S. Two presidents arrived in the United States at about the same Sme; r.m Peru came President of that country to visit Wash-ington, see President Roosevelt and be treated to the greatest display of military might this country has seen fit to unfold since the war began From Australia to San Francisco mL ,TeSidmt Manuel Qun or Philippine Commonwealth With him were his family and members o his executive staff. Italy: Premier Mussolini and the king of Italy watched a parade of marching men and lines of war ma-chines wind through the streets of Rome as part of Italy's observation of "Empire day." Actually it was the sixth anniversary of Mussolini's formal proclamation of a new Ro-man empire based on the conquest of Ethiopia, which has since fallen to the British. HOSTILE PLANES : Over U. S. Troops While the RAF continued its pounding the Nazi industrial cities. American forces in northern Ireland had a taste of aerial warfare. Ene-my planes flew over the area where these troops are stationed and ground forces went into immediate action. A communique covering the situation concluded with this: "No incidents have been reported." It was thought that the planes had in-tended no more than an observa-tion flight i Women: War Manpower Chair-man McNutt indicated that the U. S. has an adequate supply of woman power to train and employ in war and essential civilian industries at an increasing rate during the next two years. Next year, he predicted there will be 4,000,000 to war jobs out of an expected 20,000,000 war workers. ' Deaths: The Very Rev.

Part of Ponderous Duelist Declared Out of Bounds TWO Irishmen arranged to fight a with pistols. One of them was very stout, and when he saw his lean adversary facing him he raised an objection. "Bedad!" he said, "I'm twice as big a target as he is, so I ought to stand twice as far away from him as he is from me." "Be aisy now," replied his sec-ond. "I'll soon put that right." Taking a piece of chalk from his pocket, he drew two lines down the stout man's coat, leaving a space between them. "Now," he said, turning to the thin man, "fire away, ye spalpeen, and remember that any hits out-side the chalk lines don't count."
