SINGLETON Associated Press Correspondent 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. d -4 e t I' a d h s I t l TRIPLETS MEET QUADRUPLETS - Two mothers and their seven March 29.

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. Hillel Foundation To Hold Religious Services Today Religious services will be held at 7:45 p.m. today at the Hillel Foun- dation.

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 V e d s "f e , s : d e 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." Honor Students To Hear Halifax SpanishPlay To Be Given, 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.

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 U' Debates Will Be Held Today Four non-decision debates between Western Michigan College and Uni- versity teams will be held before speech classes at 11 a.m. and 1 and 2 p.m. today in Angell Hall. The question for debate is, "Resolv- ed: That the United States Should Cooperate in Establishing and Main- taining an International Police Force on the Defeat of the Axis." Scheduled to participate are Bar- bara Levine, '46, and Fay Lorden, '46, who will uphold the affirmative side of the question at 11 a.m. in Rm. 4208; Joyce Siegan, '46, and Dorothy Servis, '45, who will debate affirma- tive at 1 p.m. in Rm. 4203; Margaret Farmer, '46, and Dorothy Murzek, '46, who will debate negative at 1 p.m. in Rm. 4208; and Martin Shapero and John Condylis, who will debate negative at 2 p.m. in Rm. 4023. All debates are open to the public. l t l I . _ about the most graceful plane in the air today, that the P-40E, the British Kittyhawk, is one of the most ver- satile, and that the P-47 Thunderbolt is one of the largest and fastest single-engine fighters ever built, and that it was designed for fighting at high altitudes. In addition to speed, range and ex- cellent high altitude performance, versatility is an outstanding charac- teristic of the P-38 Lightning. 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.
