(A-Japa-nese forces are withdrawing so rap 1 idly from their Southern Asia sphere that a survey from this van jtage point suggests that a hard-pressed Allied campaign during the coming fall and winter would recover the entire area, Already the Japanese appear to have condeded the loss of this area by allowing the closing of the Hengyang Corridor in China I through which garrisons in French Indo-China could have escaped. In Burma, scattered Japanese are fighting their way eastward, evi dently trying to escape into Thailand. Borneo is now hotly attacked by Australians and Americans.

Adm. Lord Louis Mountbatten's Southeast Asia Command has been assigned the task ot reconquering Sumatra and Malaya and Singapore at the tip of the peninsula. The Japanese withdrawal at the moment is extending over a far greater area than the German retreat into the Central European bastion and means that perhaps within six months vast areas long under Japanese domination may have an opportunity to begin a "return to normalcy. The whole aim of the Japanese Asiatic campaign seems directed toward concentrating their major forces in the area north of the Shanghai-Hankow line. Both these cities are certainly included in the defense area, but Southern China, save for the Canton-Hongkong area, evidently already is being evacu Jap Planes Swept From China Skies, (hennaull Says By ALBERT RAVENHOLT KUNMING, July 11.

(UP) The 14th Air Force has achieved its ob-' jective of sweeping Japanese planes from China's skies, Lt. Gen. i Claire Chennault declared in a press conference today. He said the 14th's next objective would be support of Chinese land armies now pushing Japanese ground forces back on several sectors. Shift Ta Manchuria Chennault aid the Japanese are now shifting many air force units from the home islands to Manchuria where the enemy has "numerous excellent airbases which are operational on a moments notice." The general declared that he believed the Japanese had drained practically all their air strength from Southeast Asia, with only an occasional enemy plane making a linking hop between Indo-China and China providing a target for the 14ths gunners last month.

He revealed that during the Okinawa battle the 14th raided Japan's Shanghai bases so effectively that no enemy planes from that area participated in the strikes against American invasion forces. Down 2000 Planes I Summing up three years of op- orations in China, the general said that his airmen had destroyed over 2000 Japanese planes in the air and on the ground and they had hit 1 over 2,000.000 tons of enemy shipping more than the Japs have 1 floating now. Chennault's streamlined organization operated with the tightest possible personnel, with some units 1 using only 50 per cent of the enlisted men normally required. Commenting on the possible growth of American air power in China, Chennault said, "supply problems remain practically as before, though our air base facilities are ample for a greatly augmented effort. The General said he believed it was always possible that the Japs micht surrender, but there was a much greater chance that they will continue to fight.

Balkan Air Force Disbands ROME. July 11. (INS) Disbandment of the Allied Balkan Air Force was announced today. An order of the day praising the work of the squadrons of eight nationalities that formed the force was issued by Air Marshal Sir Guy Garrod, Air Chief in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Fivers of Britain, America, Yugoslavia and Italy were among the men who made up the air force.

sued a communique today declaring that the German U-boat which surrendered yesterday at Mar Del Plata brought no Germamn politician or high ranking military man to Argentina. The communique added that an investgiation had revealed no person from the submarine had reached the Argentine coast before it surrendered at the resort city south of Buenos Aires. The official report added that the U-boat was not responsible for the sinking of the Brazilian cruiser Bahia Monday. At Sea 17 Weeks The undersea craft, skippered by Commander Otto Wemoutt and manned by a half-starved crew of 54, was reported to have been at sea 17 weeks since sailing from a North Sea port. The hull was rusted and in bad condition.

Cesar Ameghino, minister of foreign relations, said the officers and crew will be interned as pns-orers of war, and added that the British and United States ambassadors had been authorized to visit the craft in the Mar Del Plata Military Zone and report to their governments. Earlier reports said British and American naval attaches already had visited the U-boat. 28 SERVITORS RIO DE JANEIRO, July 11. (INS After four days of floating in life-belts in shark-infested waters, 28 of 33 survivors of the Brazilian cruiser Bahia landed at Recife yesterday. They were picked up by the British freighter Belfe after the Bahia blew up and sank with heavy loss of life.

Five of the original 33 survivors died aboard the Belfe due to wounds and exposure. The Bahia's captain was among those who died. Sixteen other men among the 28 remaining were suffering from severe wounds. The men related that scores of men thrown into the water were devoured by sharks. The cruiser Bahia sank July 4 when her magazines blew up.

She went to the bottom in three IKE VISITS GRAVE OF F. D. R. In a simple, solemn ceremony. General of the Army Dwight D.

MERES' 'THAT Semi- Annual 60 West Colorado StM Pasadena Unconditional Surrender Japanese Militarism More Dangerous Than Germany Evidence Points to Fact That Enemy Already Planning for Another War By DEWITT MACKENZIE, AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Is it necessary for the Allies to enforce unconditional surrender on Japan? That question naturally arises from the statement by Nippon's Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura that our policy of unconditional surrender is only costing us higher casualties. Nomura (who incidentally seems to be one of the few Jap admirals that haven't committed suicide for the honor of the mikado) presumably is fishing for easier peace conditions that, and trying to cause discord among the Allies. It a safe bet that Japan would leap at terms which would permit her to salvage any -of her war-loot.

Apropos of this great problem there has been running through my mind like a theme song a phrase which came out of Berlin a week ago in a news dispatch. Daniel De Luce, an Associated Press correspondent in reporting the entrance of American troops into the German capital, wrote this graphic line: "There were tears of joy and cried of God be thanked from some Berliners, but others were silent and sullen. OTHERS READY FOR NEW HITLER Let's not forget that "but others were silent and sullen." It means that these others aren't repentent. They would provide fertile soil for tillage by another Hitler, if we hadn't compelled unconditional surrender and thereby made sure that we could complete the task of knocking militarism out of Germany. Prussian militarism is a terrible evil, but it probably isn't so deeply inbred as is the Japanese brand.

Nippon's savage glorification of war runs persistently through the long centuries of her history. The soldier always has been the hero of the island empire. But there's another and even more important aspect of the situation. This Japanese war of aggression is on more than the mere desire to increase the mikado's domains and influence. Underlying it is the develish design of forming a powerful Asiatic bloc of nations which would be pitted in confli-t against the Western world.

There we have the makings of the racial conflict which even the militaristic old Kaiser of Germany warned the world to beware as it would the devil. EVIDENCE JAPAN PLANNING NEXT WAR There is evidence that even recently the Japanese militarists, realizing that they are losing this war, have been plotting another assault 23 years hence. Japan has learned much about modern war from her disastrous contact with the Western powers. Her operations in many respects have been crude as- compared with the methods which have been carried against her from out of the West. But they won't be crude next time.

Thus if there is any lesson which stands out in our war against Japan, it is that she must be rendered impotent to do further damage. What then is there for us to do but to exact unconditional surrender? There is no alternative if we are to have permanent peace.

(jip) The Navy today told how three Japanese fighter-bombers damaged the transport Dickerson so badly off Okinawa April 2 she had to be sunk the next day. Loss of the 25-year-old Dickerson, with 51 killed or missing and 15 wounded, had been announced previously.

The craft, a high-speed converted destroyer, carried a crew of approximately 150. Among the men lost were the Dickerson's captain, Lt. Comdr. Ralph E. Lounsbury, Seattle, and the executive officer, Lt.

Alexander G. McEwen, Duluth, Minn. The trio of two-engined Japanese planes attacked at 6:30 p. m. and within 2 hours the Dickerson was a charred, useless hull.

The Dickerson was towed to Kerama where an inspection showed she was beyond salvage, the Navy said. The following morning, guns of other ships sent her to the bottom. Food Items for Thursday's Call Customers Fridays Delivery North of Colorado St. Grocery Crisco I lb. jar.
