JARTERS, Australia, March
a—(UP) _ Flying Fortresses
and Billy Mitchell medium hom-
ers, complete masters of sea
and skies, searched the north-
east New Guinea coast today for
survivors of the 15,000 Japanese
troops and the thousands of
seamen who had been aboard
the 22 enemy warships and
transports allied planes destroy-
ed in the battle of the Bis-
marck Sea.
It was doubted that th|ere
were many survivors and it was
confidently predicted that not
one would reach New Guinea,
the destination of the convoy
blasted out of the sea Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.
Wreckage was scattered
over miles, evidence of (he
strength of the land-based
air power that sent 10 Jnp-
anese war vessels and 12
transports to the bottom,
taking with them 15,000
troops.
There were bits of wreckage
here and slicks of oil there, and
sometimes Japanese hands and
a Japanese head could be seen

TAKE SWAMP ROOT

Thousands get fast, wonderful relief from

bobbing above the water, cling-
ing to raft or debris, but the sil-
ence of the sea added strength
to Australian newspaper stories
calling the death of the convoy
“the greatest single feat of arms
wrought in the southwest Pa-
cific.”
The Japanese garrison at Lae,
belie veil to have been the goal
of the convoy, were warned
Thursday that allied air power
was dominant, in this theater.
Bombers and fighters, after-
strafing 1 ho survivors of con-
voy in the water, blasted the vi-
tal base and she- down or dam-
aged 27 planes.
B-21 Liberators opened the at-
tack early Thursday, and were
quickly followed by A-20 Havoc
light bombers, escorted by P-38
Lightnings and Kittyhawks that
rained down 30,000 rounds of
cannon shells and machine gun
fire on airdromes and tiro town
itself.
Six grounded Japanese planes
were destroyed, while eiglrt
were downed and nine others
damaged out of 30 enemy fight-
j tor's in the air.
Finding no trace of ships
j afloat on Thursday, Fortresses
| and B-25's hunted down sttrviv-
i ors in barges, life boats, and
rafts, and strafed them—also
shooting down four Japanese
fighters.

NEW YORK, March 5 —(UP)
—A whirl on the sports-go-
round:
Ocean Wave, the Calumet
Farm’s Kentucky Derby hope,
must win the $15,000 Louisiana
Derby Saturday in decisive fa-
shion to be taktjn seriously ns a
rival for Count Fleet in the Ken-
tucky classic. Ocean Wave won
three straight at the Fair
Grounds tills season but his
streak was broken Tuesday by
Pop’s Pick, which again match-
es strides with Ocean Wave in
the Louisiana race.
Mike Jacobs says the current
boxng year is the most unusual
in the history of Madison Square
Garden, a punch emporium that
always specialised in heavy-
weights. Ten weeks of 1943 will
have elapsed before the first
heavy main-eventers climb into
the Garden ring on March 12—
Tami Mauriello and Jmmy Biv-
ens. Despite the accent on smal-
ler gladiators, the gates and
crowds have been unusually
large.
The United States Lawn Ten-
nis Association, heartened by
the nqprly normal number of
applications for tournaments,
will approve the following tour-
ney sites nert week: National
(’lav Courts at Detroit; Long-
wood Bowl tourney at Brook-
line. Mass.: Southampton, N. Y.,
invitation tourney; Newport, R.

ion hips at Orange, N. .1.

Officials at Eastern golf
clubs arc a bit. ga-ga, uneer-
toil, whether to weep or
cheer over the somewhat
coilflirting edicts of the
office of defense transporta-
tion and office of price ad-
min ist rat ion. The ODT has
tunned Inis servin' to golf
courses, etc., starting Mar-
ch 15, hut the OPA may

ing March 22.
The Amateur Athletic Un-
i ion will mail out pamphlets con-
; mining physical fitness tests o
j 90.00ft athletic organizations in
tin- United States late next
lvnont.il. These tests now are be-
j ing formulated by the A. A. TI.’s
various sports committees. Civ-
j ilia ns from 15 to 50, throughout
J live-country, will be able to take
; the tests. If they do not pass,
they will be advised regarding
I proper exercises to make them
1 fit for all-out aid in the war ef-
j fort.
We understand that a flock
I of fight managers are licking
their chops and pointing their
j noses toward Syracuse Univer-
sity, where heavyweight Sat

i of 77 consecutive high school

Iffirry Mendel, who promoted
ix-day bicycle races in the pre-
I war days, expects a lioom in
i his business after peace conies.
. lie recalls that there was a great
revival of cycling after the last
war Two six-day riders already
have given their lives for Uni-
ted Nations, he says. William
Cogan of South Orange, N. J.,
was lost at sea, and Andy Me-
Connot of Montreal was killed

That instead of giving ph>p-

West Texas for a share in the

Those who have been in rath-
er close contact with the deve-
lopments in reference to this
program in Sweetwater, were
loath to believe that the WPB
would take just .drastic acton,
when it was demonstrated with-
out a shadow of doubt, that grain
sorghums, were Urn most logi-
cal source of industral alcoh M.
it was the consensus that -t
would scent incredible to ignore
this area entirely and place all
of the plants in the north where
edible grains would have to be
used in alcohol production. Fur-
ther action locally was being de-
ferred until a more detailed re-
port could lie received.
