LONDON, April 13.-The Unite(
States and Britain-acting in con
cert before the opening of the west
ern front to choke off neutral trad
with Germany-called for a show
down with Sweden tonight on that
nation's export of war materials t
the Reich.
This further demonstration ofE
new "get tough" policy swiftly fol
lowed protests against increases
chrome shipments from Turkey tc
Germany and the seizure by Spain o
Allied oil stocks at Tetuan, Spanisl
Morocco.
Portugal May Be Next
The economic isolation of Eire war
tightened. '
Delivery of the British-American
note concerning Swedish trade with
Germany by U.S. Minister Hersche
V. Johnson at Stockholm thus put
the fourth blade in U.S. Secretary of
State Cordell Hull's new program. It
was widely expected to be followed
by a similar representation to Lisbon
on Portuguese wolfram exports to the
R~eich.
The Swedes recently-renewed trade
pact with the Germans provided a
reduction in iron, steel and ball-bear-
ing deliveries. The Allies now are
exerting pressure for a maximum
shut-off of supplies to Germany to
cripple Hitler's war machine.
Nazis Attempt Barter
Neutral reports to London indi-
cated that the Germans were not
taking the Allied moves lying down
and were sending delegations to Tur-
key and Portugal to preserve or boost
purchases.
A report from Lisbon said that
Portuguese trade papers contained
advertisements of German offers to
barter steel and modern machine-
tools, indicating that the Nazis still
felt they could spare these items in
their strained economy in exchange
for vital raw materials such as wolf-
ram and currency for foreign trade.
The moves were made amid con-
ferences here between U.S. Under-
Secretary of State Edward R. Stet-
tinius, Jr., and British foreign offi-
cials on mutual problems, including
the question of neutrals, and with
indications that Prime Minister
Churchill soon would endorse pub-
licly Secretary of State Hull's dec-
laration against neutral economic
dealing with the enemy.

From Hill Near
City of Imphal
British, Indian Troops
Meet Nip Movement
On Main Allied Bases
By The Associated Press
NEW DELHI, April 13-British and
Indian troops have driven the Japan;
ese from a hill position northwest of
Imphal in bitter hand-to-hand fight-
ing and are engaging the invaders in
a "battle of the clouds" outside Ko-
hima, it was announced today as the
Japanese pressed their attacks on the
two main Allied bases in Eastern In-
dia.
The disclosure that the enemy had
lost a position on the foothills north-
west of Imphal made it evident that
that city of some 90,000 in the center
of the fertile Manipur plain now vir-
tually has been surrounded by the
Japanese. Only to the west.of the ci-
ty has action not been officially re-
ported.
(Secretary of War Stimson said in
Washington that Allied troops hold
all strongpoints outside Imphal and
that "substantial reserves of men and
weapons are available" to the de-
fenders.)
Stiff fighting was reported raging
in the Naga hills just north of Kohi-
ma, where the Japanese had estab-
lished a road block on the 35-mile
highway between Kohima and the
supply station of Dimapur on the vi-
tal Bengal-Assam railway.
As a result of the Allied counterat-
tacks, the Japanese had not been
able to resume their assault on Ko-
hima itself since they were thrown
back with losses in their first charge
last week end. Kohima is 60 miles
north of Imphal.

GETS NUMBER 27:
Capt. Rickenbacker's Record
Smashed by Pacific AAF Ace
By The Associated Press
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, April 13.-
An Army Air Force pilot who is "tak-
ing no unnecessary chances" because
he "wants to get back," Capt. Richarc
I. Bong of Poplar, Wis., is America's
new ace of all wars, with a record of
27 Japanese planes shot out of the
skies.
A special headquarters announce-
ment tonight said he got two en-
emy planes Wednesday over Hol-
landia, Dutch New Guinea, to sur-
pass by one Capt. Eddie Ricken-
backer's World War record of 26
aircraft.
Army Capt. Don Gentile of Piqua,
0., recently has been hailed for his
feat of destroying 30 enemy planes in
the European theatre, but his record
included seven demolished on the
ground. Those don't count in com-
piling records in the Southwest Paci-
fic. You have to get 'em in the air.
("I am delighted," commented
Rickenbacker when notified in New
York of the new" record. He said
he expected to see his own achieve-
ment broken many times in this
war and he didn't care whether
"the boys" bagged them in the air,
on the ground or how, just so they
get them "in order to bring this
dastardly war to an earlier end.")
Captain Bong, who is flying his
seventh Lightning since coming to
New Guinea, got his wings at Luke
Field, Phoenix, Ariz. Ordered to active
duty in this area in September, 1942,1
he shot down his first Nipponese
plane over Salamaua, New Guinea,
the following Dec. 28.
When he returned in February
from a leave that took him 'to the
United States, Bong had 21 planes
to his credit. A week ago today, with
25 victories, he commented that Jap-
anese fighter pilots "are not as good

as they used to be," that they are
"dumb or something, for we can get a
bead on them pretty easy."
Into combat with the new ace
goes a large picture of his girl
friend, Miss Marge Vattendahl, of
Superior, Wis. It is painted on the
nose of his Lightning.
Perhaps that's why, last week, he
said he would like to better Ricken-
backer's mark, "but most of all I
want to be sure that I get back."
Today, having accomplished that
feat, he still wants to get back, and
adds, "I'm taking no unnecessary
chances."

Ann Terbrueggen Will
Star in Performance
Ann Terbrueggen, who will be re-
membered for her part in the Spanish
play, "La Independencia," given two
years ago, will again take part in the
Spanish production, "Sueno de una
Noche de Agosto," to be presented
Wednesday.
She will portray Irene, secretary
to El Aparecido, a novelist. She is
majoring in Spanish, which she plans
to teach, and is an active member of
the Sociedad Hispanica, Martha Cook
Council, JGP, and the newly formed
Education Council.
The role of Mario, one of the
brothers, will be played by Carlos
Soares, '45, of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Soares is studying petroleum geology
here and plans to return to Brazil
upon the completion of his course to
undertake work in that field.
GOP Regresses,
Plastic replicas of bombers, fight-
ers and pursuits and transports-17
in all-are suspended from the ceil-
ing of the second floor of Hutchins
Hall as a complement to the military
training program of the Judge Advo-
cate General's School.
The miniatures are black so as to
look like the silhouettes seen in the
air. The purpose of the models is to
teach the students to distinguish be-
tween friendly and enemy aircraft.
24 Represented
Among the planes in the collection
is the B-24 Liberator which is built
at Willow Run. This high midwing
monoplane with four radial engines
is a long-range bomber and is used
in all theatres. It has high speed,
powerful armaments and is extremely
maneuverable for its size. All of
these factors reduce the number of
fighter craft needed for its protec-
tion.
The B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-
engine, low-wing monoplane designed
for high altitude day-time precision
bombing of restricted targets. The
B-17 was the first long-range Ameri-
can bomber.
Also included in the collection is a
replica of the C-54 Skymaster. This
troop and cargo carrier is the largest
troop transport. The Skymaster can
carry more than 40 fully equipped
soldiers. The C-47 Skytrain gets
its name from its use as a troop
carrier and as a glider tug.
Model of B-25 Shown
Also in the collection is the model
of the B-25 Mitchell which received
considerable publicity as the result of
its use ,in the bombing raid on Tokyo
in April, 1942. The C-60 Lodestar
model is a replica of the military ver-
sion of the world's fastest commercial
transport.
Other interesting data that can
be learned from the identification
cards that accompany the models is
that the P-39 Airacobra is rated

about the most graceful plane in the

Kittyhawk, is one of the most ver-

is one of the largest and fastest
single-engine fighters ever built, and
that it was designed for fighting at

In addition to speed, range and ex-

Rli ion Topic
Of Council Panel
Clergymen, Educator
Debate Methods, Aims
"Religion can be taught in the
American public school system, ac-
cording to the Constitution, but sec-
tarianism cannot," Dr. Edward
Blakeman, student religious advisor,
said in a Post-War sponsored panel
last night on "Education for Reli-
gion."
All four of the participants in the
panel, Dr. Blakeman, Prof. Claude
Eggertsen, the Rev. C. H. Loucks and
Rabbi Jehudah Cohen agreed that
the system of release time, which
frees pupils for classes in religion is
in general undesirable.
Rabbi Cohen commented that Jews
have found particular difficulty in
obtaining religious education in addi-
tion to secular education but opposed
release time because the "Jewish
group fears a close relationship be-
tween church and state" which might
follow from religious instruction of
school children.
"Traditionally our nation has a
religious base," Rev. Loucks said, and
for this reason there should be a
place and time for religious instruc-
tion in our present day culture. He
pointed out, however, that minority
groups would be at a disadvantage,
because of lack of funds, in any
system of religious 'instruction for
school children..
Prof. Eggertsen sketched the back-
ground of education in America,
emphasizing Horace Mann's work in,
freeing education from the control
of religious groups. "The belief is
that Horace Mann's principle is still
a sound one," he said. "The educa-
tor ... views the introduction of reli-
gion into the public schools as a
danger," he added, "because the-pu
pose of education is to unite" and
not to divide the people into sects.
