(Officials pointed out that more airplanes were promised General MacArthur last week by Secretary of War Stimson, and some that the current concern in Australia might be in part at least, an attempt to hasten fulfillment of that promise.) (Recently a group of MacArthur's aides visited Washington to discuss the situation in the Southwest Pacific, and their conferences included one at the White House. Shortly after the group returned to the battle zone, a dispatch quoting "authoritative sources" came from MacArthur's headquarters saying there were 10,000 combat airplanes idle in the United States.) The range of the air force over the "no man's" area of sea and land from Allied bases "is the measure of our safety," MacArthur said.

"As a matter of fact." MacArthur said, "Japanese naval forces, in great strength, although beyond our bomber range, are within easy striking distance of Australia. "Allied naval forces can be counted upon to play their own magnificent part but the battle of the Western Pacific will be won or lost by proper application of an air -ground team." A resident of Rock Island, has invented a gauge to determine the proper inflation of automobile tires by measuring their bulge instead of the number of pounds of air that they contain. Two New Jersey inventors have patented a mechanical method for breaking ice as it forms on the leading edges of airplane wings. BROOKLYN EAGLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1943 15 BULLETINS BULLETINS I.

Biddle Calls on Italians To Stop Dying for Hitler Plans for mutiny in Italy's armed forces and civil disobedience against Fascist laws when the Allied armies invade that country were disclosed last night at a Four Freedoms festival marking the 200th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's birth.

I. O. members, told an audience at Carnegie Hall, Manhattan, that an army of liberation soon will bring freedom to the conquered land of Italy. "It is time that the Italian soldier and sailor," Biddle said, "cast off the mantle glory--the glory of dying for Germany- that it may be worn by those who most deserve it- -the German Nazis themselves." Luigi Antonini, president of the Italian American Labor Council, said that reports from the Italian underground tell of a campaign for civil disobedience against fascism and of proposed mutiny by Italian soldiers, sailors and fliers.
