Thirteen U. S. Bombers Sink Eight Jap Ships From Australian Bases
GEN. MacARTHUR’S HEADQUARTERS, Melbourne, Apr. 15—(U.P.)—Thirteen U.S. army bombers, in a devastating sweep across the Philippines, have sunk or damaged eight Japanese ships, shot down five airplanes and damaged many more, and returned with some evacuees from the beleaguered islands, it was announced tonight.
The first outside blow struck for the liberation of the islands was led by Brig. Gen. Ralph Royce, one of America’s greatest air experts, and official reports said it created ‘‘dismay and destruction” at four of the main Japanese bases.
TACTICS DESCRIBED
Striking out Saturday from bases in Australia, the raiders landed at air fields ‘ much nearer the targets” (presumably in the Philippines) and ranged over the islands Monday and Tuesday.
Only one of the 13 planes, a flying fortress, was lost. The pilot, Captain Frank F. Bostrom. whose home town was not identified, saved himself and his crew and was awarded the distinguished service cross along with Royce on their return here tonight.
The number of persons evacuated from the Philippines by the planes was not revealed. They reported that the casualties on Corregidor Island in the mouth of Manila bay did not exceed 11 to 15 daily, that morale ran high, and that the defenders had enough food for a month and ample water.
HANGARS DESTROYED
At Nichols field, north of Manila, they destroyed hangars and runways.
At Batangas. a South Luzon island port, they sank a ship laden with military supplies.
Farther south, at Cebu, capital of the island where American troops were still fighting this week, three Jap transports were sunk, two others were hit, several near misses were scored on other vessels, three planes were shot down and several were damaged on the ground.
DAMAGE REPORTED
(A Washington communique describing the raid said the airfield at Cebu City was attacked and that the docks there were hit and damaged.)
At Davao, dh southeast Mindanao, 650 miles below Manila, the Americans destroyed one Jap bomber, damaged several others, bombed two transport ships, one of which probably sank, shot down one seaplane and damaged two more, and blasted troop concentrations, docks and warehouses.
Only one American plane was lost and its crew was saved.	*
That was the story of the first retaliatory blow against the Philippines invaders, the forerunner of Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s promised offensive to sweep the Japs out of the whole southwest Pacific.

ESCORT ARRANGED
Dean Honored by Nomination

For the past two years Dean Johnson has held the office of president of the American Association of Schools of Social Work.
Three SC faculty members will attend the annual meeting of the California conference of social workers which will be held in San Francisco, Apr. 19 to Apr. 23.

RAIDS DESCRIBED
The round-the-clock RAF raids, in which new bomb-carrying Hurricanes took part, followed a heavy Tuesday night bombardment by British heavy bombers of Germany’s Ruhr valley which set huge fires. The British al§o were using American Boston bombers (Douglas A-20s, a twin-engined type) to get more sting into their daylight raids. The Bostons were said to carry twice the bomb load of the British Blenheims and are much faster.
SHIPS BAGGED
Tlie Hurricane fighter planes, converted into short-range bombers, were the second new British weapon which the spring aerial offensive has brought to light. The first was a heavy incendiary bomb, believed to contain phosphorous, which foreign sources reported to be having devastating results in Germany.
Two American Eagle pilots bagged two of the three German planes known to have been shot down during the second successive day of the (Continued on Page Two)
France-Bound Cargoes Halted
WASHINGTON, Apr. 15—(IIP)— Pro-Nazi Pierre Laval’s return to power in France produced its first major American repercussion today when the United States called off plans to send three shiploads of food and clothing to France and French North Africa.
This was disclosed by Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles before he went to the White House to chart with President Roosevelt the future course of U. S. relations with Vichy. Welles took with him preliminaiy reports on the Vichy shakeup sent by Admiral William D. Leahy.
Mr. Roosevelt and Welles doubtless discussed whether or not it is now advisable for the United States to continue friendly with Vichy. Decisions stemming from this crucial question may determine whether Leahy will be recalled for consultation.
Welles himself declined to say whether Leahy would come home. Diplomatic observers said his recall would mean the United States at long last had come to the parting of the ways with Vichy.
Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha will arrive on the campus by motorcycle escort directly from the city hall, and will be met by President von KeinSmid. They will go to the president's office for an informal meeting with members of the board of trustees.
Since the Prince was in the uniform of his countrymen two ! years ago. the government of Norway has set up its headquarters in London to carry on the war and to conduct the affairs of state under King Haakon, father of the 1 Crown Prince. The latter was active in the London administration 1 of his government prior to com- | ing to Washington, DC. The Royal couple now has taken up temporary residence with its family.
NROTC TO ATTEND
The naval reserve officers training corp will attend the meeting in a group, marching in at the beginning of the program. A reserved section will be held for members of the counselor corp and for other guests.
• The president has asked that all student service club members wear their uniforms. The Amazons will usher at the event.

MILLER CONTRACTED
Clark Liddell revealed that he had contacted Glenn Miller to play for the rally as a prelude to the all-university-interfratemity prom. May 1, to be held in the Fiesta room of the Ambassador hotel.
Bids for the prom, on sale at fraternities and in the Book store, are priced at $4, said John Price, chairman. This represents an increase of 15 cents over the price of last year's bids. Price explained this as a government tax. This is the first combination of an all-U dance with the interfraternity prom. Bids are unlimited.
MEN HONORED
The rally Thursday night is to be in honor of Trojan service men and is presented by the Trojan Knights with Dwight Hart presiding. Awards for the interfratemity sing are to be presented as well as presentation of the service flag by the greater university committee.
Besides Miller music, Trojans will hear three speakers. The curtain is scheduled to rise at 7:30 p.m.
Wright emphasized the importance of students buying defense stamps during “Victory Week.” His booth is to be found in front of Tommy Trojan.
"Buy your stamps early for the dig and rally,” Wright said.
“When you buy one stamp w« mark your book so it will be necessary to purchase one for each event,” he added.
Liddell said that stamps will be checked at the door for the rally Thursday. He said that this marks the first time Miller and his orchestra have ever played for a college rally, and that the band leader will hurry over to campus following his regular broadcast at KNX, 7 p.m.
