Sidestep Dangers.

Scouting work was reported to be under way on this projected route, with the thought that if it could be established pursuit ships of relatively short-range might be ferried under their own power across the Atlantic in "stepping-stone" hops. Such a system would sidestep the dangers of submarine and raider threats to which surface shipping is subject. Most of the bombers thus far delivered to England were said to have been flown across non-stop under British supervision without a single casualty. The reported citation of this record in closed congressional hearings led some observers to believe that if a three or four-stop route were laid out, American flyers might take the planes part of the way across the Atlantic. Income Tax Total This Year Is Record WASHINGTON, March 22.

DP) The treasury announced today that it had collected a record of income taxes during the first 20 days of March. This total, which compared with $621,418,616 paid in during the corresponding period last year, was based on a telegraphic survey of collection offices. Of the total collections for this March, the treasury said that $81,910,713 represented excess profits taxes under the law enacted last fall.

GEORGE GALLUP, Director, American Institute of Public Opinion. PRINCETON, N. March 22. If one of the early transfers under the lease-lend act should be the turning over of some additional United States destroyers to Great Britain, the transaction would have the support of a majority of the American people, a nationwide institute survey indicated today. Such a transfer is now conceived as part of the "aid-short-of-war which United Stales sentiment has long favored, analysis of the comments shows.

British observers have reported a need for speedy warcraft that can range the Atlantic sealanes and protect convoys of food and war materials for the British isles. Wendell Willkie told members of the senate foreign relations committee last month that America should send five or ten destroyers a month. The institute survey shows that it apparently makes little difference to the general public whether such available destroyers are sent at the rate of a few a month, or in one large transfer of 40 or so. Tivo-Way Question. To obtain a measure of public sentiment on the issue, the institute asked the question in two ways.

The results, put to different cross-sections, show an average of 2 to 1 favoring the transfer among those with definite opinions; Would you approve or disapprove of the United States leasing about 40 additional destroyers to Britain Approve 52 Disapprove 26 Undecided 22 Would you approve or disapprove of the United States leasing about five destroyers a month to Britain?

Any way, Britain will have a job on her hands to defend her-! self in the British isles during the next few months let nobody doubt that. New Front May Open. However, the way things are shaping there may indeed he rail for many more infantrymen in the not too distant futuie. The turn of events in the Balkans may result in the opening up of a new war front there.

Indications are that Britain would like this, provided she has the support of Greece and Turkey. She still hopes to get Yugoslavia as well a hope which will receive some encouragement from oday reports of the growing popular op- I ernnients proposal to sign a pact of limited adherance to the axis. This Balkan development has been made possible by the Fascist debacles in Greece and Afiiea. Five months ago Italy was a menace to Britains control of the vital Mediterranean. Then Mussolini made one of the big mistakes of military history by attacking Greece.

The result is that Italy is virtually down and out, and we have the possibility of a Balkan war, with the Anglo-allies rushing in to meet the foe. U. S. Is Only Answer. Thus while Britain and her al lies cant get at Hitler with troops in the western theater now, it might be done through the Balkan back door if the Anglo-allies could get a good foothold on the peninsula and had plenty of troops and equipment to push the offensive Thats where more men be needed than could come from Britain and her partners.

To whom would England turn in such a crisis? There's only one answer to that. Uncle Sam would be asked to send a big expedtlon-ary force, with equipment of nil sorts. Should we agree to such a course, our transpoits would go round the Cape of Good Hope and up through the Suez canal into the eastern Mediterranean, I should say. From there the convoys would proceed through the Aegenn to 1 points of disembarkation. What is America likely to do if the SOS conies? Thats not my pigeon.

All I was asked to do was say whether there are indications that we may bo begged to send! military aid. The answer is in the affirmative. 1 French Are Warned to Behave Better VICHY, France, March 22.

The government was reported hopeful today of quick settlement of the Allis-Chalmers strike at Milwaukee before the new national defense mediation board holds its first meeting Tuesday.

Secretary Knox said tha "vve are continuing negotiations with great hopes that they will come to a speedy and successful conclusion in one form or another." Production of vital defense articles at the Milwaukee factory was halted in January when C. I. O. auto workers, seeking a union shop, walked out. The firm has $45,000,000 in defense orders.

A report that the army and navy were considering taking over the Allis-Chalmers plant, if the strike is not settled, was denied by the navy. Army sources declined to comment. A bright spot appeared in the decision of A. F. L.

building trades workers to return to work on projects vital to the armys air program at Wright field, Ohio. A strike of 400 A. F. L. craftsmen, started March 4 because five C.

I. O. electricians were employed at the field. Because of short notice, only a "handful of men reported for work today, but the rest will be bark next week. Strikers Meet.

C. I. O. strikers at the plant of the Aluminum Company of America, Edgcwater, N. called a meeting today to consider a suggestion from Sidney Hillman, associate director of the office of production management, to halt their nine-day strike, go back to work, and adjust a wage dispute afterward.

The plant employs 3000 and makes aluminum parts for air- craft. The Detroit regional office of the national labor relations board yesterday issued a complaint of unfair labor practices against the big F'ord Motor company shortly after a federal mediator reported that progress had been made in efforts to bring together the firm and the C. I. O. United Auto Workers.

The complaint alleged that the company operated "an extensive espionage system among workers and maintained gangs of strong-arm men," to intimidate them. PROGRESS REPORTED. OAKLAND, March 22.
