SThe Japanese garrison fled before the Aussies entered the town. Highway Leads to Madang A 20 mile highway, the finest the Nipponese built in New Guinea, leads from Bogadjim to bomb wrecked Madang, the closest enemy base to the slowly advancing Allied coastal. forces. Two hundred miles to the north- west Allied bombers poured 250 tons of explosives on the Wewak air- dromes, blowing up two munitions dumps and destroying 60 buildings. South Pacific air forces struck heav- ily at Rabaul, to which Japanese on nearby New Britain have- retreated. Truk Softening Army Liberators from the Marshall Islands brought back evidence that their bombs are definitely softening up Truk, former supply base for New Guinea and New Britain which now blocks the central Pacific road to the Philippines and the China coast. Truk has been hit an average of almost once a day for three weeks by Liberatorsafrom the Marshall Is- lands or the Solomons in the south Pacific. Japanese invaders virtually com- pleted the isolation of Imphal, British base in eastern India, as patrols reached the Bishempore-Silcar trail to the west. House Passes $32 Billion Bill for Navy WASHINGTON, April 14.- (P)- Determined to back the fighting for- ces with every dollar they seek, the House unanimously passed today a $32,647,134,336 Naval Appropriation Bill and got ready for ra$50,000,000,- 000supply measure for the Army. The 257 to 0 roll call that sent the second largest appropriation bill in history to the Senate followed a sin- gle day - of debate highlighted by praise of the Navy and expressions ofdetermination tonkeep it the world's largest. While the largest fund ever voted for the Navy-a fund expected to build Uncle Sam's mighty armada up to 6,623 ships in addition to almost 75,000 supporting and landing craft -the appropriation fell some $27,- 000,000,000 short of the all-time rec- ord of $59,000,000,000 voted last year for the Army. It boosts to approximately $362,- 000,000,000 the obligations for war financing voted since July 1, 1940, of which the Navy's share is estimated at $116,000,000,000. Should the new Army supply bill come up to expec- tations, the war outlay since July 1, 1940, will mount close to the half- trillion maik. JAGs To Hear Gent. Crammer Maj.-Gen. Myron C.

Inter-Racial Group T, 1TCc. ;.,. nt ni t Russians Smash to Within 18 Miles Of Sevastopol, Taking Bakhchisarai * * * * Two Soviet Armies Overrun 500 Towns By The Associated Press LONDON, April 5, Saturday.- The Red Army cornered thousands of shattered Axis troops into the last tenth ofthe Crimea around shell- pitted Sevastopol today with the cap- ture of Bakhchisarai, only 18 miles northeast of the former Soviet fleet base, and ran their six-day string of bedraggled German and Romanian prisoners to 31,000, Moscow announc- ed tonight. Two Armies Meet Overrunning 500 towns and villag- es, two armies under Generals Feodor I. Tolbushkin and Andrei I. Yere- menko effected a junction and closed in swiftly for the final annihilation of German and Romanian remnants fleeing into Sevastopol, where the Axis suffered 300,000 casualties dur- ing the 1941-42 siege of that fortress. Entire Axis battalions were surren- dering with their equipment intact, front dispatches said. Gen. Tolbukhin's Fourth Ukraine Army, capturing 300 localities, struck 17 miles southwest along the railway from- Simferopol to make the seizure of Bakhchisarai, and also cut 25 miles southeast across the coastal mountains and captured Alushta, on- ly 16 miles east of the port of Yalta on the Black Sea coast. Gen. Tolbukhin's troops also seized Saki, 35 miles north of Sevastopol in a 12-mile push down the coast from Yevpartoriya, captured Thmrsday, and another column entered Ak-Me- chet, on the western tip of the penin- Azov Dzhankou Xz-- - -- Ker e Yevpatorya Simferopol Feodosiya SEVASTOPOL.CRIMEA Yalta0I50 Block Sea fSTATUJTE MILES RUSSIANS SWEEP THROUGH drives through the Crimea where CRIMEA-Arrows indicate Russian Red Army forces have seized Simfer- opol, Yevpatoriya and Feodosiya.

Yeremenko's independent coastal army driving in from the Kerch peninsula seized 5,000 the same day to make its total 14,000. Yeremenko's troops occupied Kar- asubazar, 25 miles east of Simfero- pol in an 11-mile inland gain, and al- so captured Sudak on the Black Sea coast in a 16-mile advance. The uni- on with Tolbukhin's forces apparent- ly occurred at Karasubazar. The capture of Sudak by Yeremen- ko's troops and the simultaneous sei- zure by Tolbukhin's men of Alushta, 30 miles to the west, created another pocket for the Axis troops caught be- tween those two points, but the greatest potential bag of the enemy loomed in the investment of Sevasto- pol, which the Russians evacuated July 2, 1942, after an eight-month siege.

Allied Troops Fight Japanese At Indian Trail Enemy Retreats with Casualties from Battle Southwest of Imphal By The Associated Press NEW DELHI, April 14.-Front dis- patches said tonight that Japanese troops had reached the Bishenpur- Silchar trail running southwest and west of the Allied Indian base of Imphal and suffered a dozen casual- ties in an engagement with Allied troops there. (This route previously had been described as the last land linl between the Imphal defenders and the main Allied forces.) At the big Allied base of Kohima north of Imphal, the Japanese with- drew after an initial penetration into the hills west and northwest of the town, the dispatches added. Earlier, Admiral Lord Louis Mount- batten's command announced the Japanese had reached the vicinity of the Bishenpur-Silchar trail. Bish- enpur is on the western edge of the Imphal plain. Silchar is the railhead of a spur of the main line of the Bengal-Assam railway-the supply link of Allied forces in northern Burma. It is approximately 70 miles west of Bishenpur. The Japanese put 30 fighter planes over the Imphal-Ukhrul area Wed- nesday in their biggest aerial obser- vation show since their appearance over the Chabua-Ledo sector Feb. 27. Spitfires intercepted the Japanese planes and damaged two before the enemy scooted back into the clouds. Allied spokesmen previously had declared that Imphal's land supply routes were subject to attack by the Japanese in the difficult jungle coun- try, but that the base itself was safe on the wide Imphal plain, with good communication by air. Variety Show Plans Remain Incomiplete Student Committee Will Meet Tomorrow To Draft Program Plans for the modified Victory Varieties program to be given next Saturday were still up in the air yes- terday. A final decision on the form the program is to take and the place it will be held will be made tomorrow by the all-campus committee. Dean Joseph A. Bursley and Dean Walter B. Rea are both in Chicago discussing the situation with a national soft- drink company who will definitely present their Spotlight Band broad- cast from Ann Arbor next Saturday featuring Eddy Howard and his or- chestra. Choice To Be Made The issue now is whether the band will broadcast before a Hill Auditor- ium audience or be presented in the Intramural Building and be followed by an all-campus dance. The program, which will be pre- sented free of charge to Army, Navy and Marine trainees stationed on campus, was finally approved Thurs- day when Regent Edmund C. Shields who is also counsel for the Butter- field Theatres Inc. which manages five theatres in Ann Arbor, with- drew his priginal objections to the program after a major portion of it was cancelled, according to the stu- dent committee. Clarifies Position Regent Shields said yesterday, in clarifying his position, that he had "objected to the commercial aspects of the production" and that he did not think it was legal to use "state money and state equipment" to put on a program of this kind. "I don't mind the May Festivals and other traditional productions sponsored by students, but I don't believe the school should stage pro- ductions that enter the commercial fields, Regent Shields said. Maine Dele gates Said To Favor Governor Dewey By D. HAROLD OLIVER Associated Press Correspondent A slant toward Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York for Republi- can candidate for the presidency'ap- peared in the Maine ranks yesterday although the state named a 13-mem- ber delegation to the Chicago Con- vention without formal commitment. Three of the thirteen were said un- officially to favor the New Yorker at the present time. Meanwhile Nebraska's Republican Delegation of 15 on the basis of Tues- day's primary was expected to in- clude six supporters of Commander Harold Stassen, six pledged to Gov- ernor Dwight Griswold and three un- pledged delegates. Coincident with these develop- ments, the South Carolina General Assembly met in extraordinary ses- sion to expunge from the state legal code all laws involving primaries. A subcommittee of the State Dem- ocratic Executive Committee had asked Governor Olin D. Johnston to call the special session after the Unit- ed States Supreme Court had ruled that Negroes were entitled to vote in Texas primaries, and it appeared that more than 200 laws still on South Carolina books might - through court procedure-make it mandatory for the Democratic Party to permit Negroes to vote in the pal- metto state primaries. Change Will Demand July Matriculation New Order Will Affect Approximately 55 Civilians, Dean Furstenberg States In line with drastic changes in the overall Selective Service program, University pre-medical students who have been accepted for the class of Nov. 1, 1944, must matriculate in medical school on or before July 1, 1944, Dean Albert C. Furstenberg announced last night. This latest directive was received from nation Selective Service head- quarters yesterday afternoon and will affect approximately 55 civilian students on campus, Dean Furstenberg estimated. Although these men by reason of matriculation must be bona fide medical students on or before July 1, 1944, he said, "Those who have not completed their pre-medical requirements may continue their required courses in the literary college in which they are now enrolled on this campus until the regular time of admission (Nov. 1)." Dean Furstenberg said that according to his present infor- mation this interpretation applies to many other medical schools in the country. "It will be from three weeks to two months before the undergraduate engineers will be inducted," Dean Ivan C. Crawford said at a meeting of undergraduates in the engineering college yesterday. He advised men re- cently taken off the national roster to stay in school as long as possible in order to earn all the academic credit possible before leaving for the armed services. * * * *3 * Pearson Explains Draft Status; Students, 18- 26, To Get Physic*als By The Associated Press LANSING, April 14.-Limitations under which college students may be granted draft deferments were explained today by Brig.

Following his testimony, a bill drafted by the Senate legislative president said. In his Senate testi- mony he remarked that Petrillo "rules the American Federation of Musi- cians without the formality of ap- proval of his acts by the organiza- tion or its officers." Prof. Maddy, a member of the A. F. of M. since 1909, also outlined his ef- said, and "this condition is a direct outgrowth of the program of music education in our public schools."
