Fight Japs In Tokyo Instead Of Philippines
Delbert L. Millam a longtime teacher and Seventh Day Adventist missionary spoke to Kiwanis at the Francis Scott Key hotel about Philippine policy and the war. He argued it would be better to fight the Japanese in Tokyo than in the Philippines, noting three groups there the mountain peoples headhunters Moros and Malayan Christians and detailing language, governance, and land practices under American influence. He described Japanese fortifications, island demographics, and economic conditions, with emphasis on lack of national unity and the role of English as the official language.

The Maryland Court of Appeals heard four cases at its April session opening. Archie Lee Pearson appeals a Montgomery County rape conviction from 1942 for raping Mrs. Peart Agnes English after being picked up in Beallsville.

Fathers To Be Drafted By July In Maryland
Commander C H Bryant Assistant State Director of Selective Service predicted wholesale drafting of Maryland fathers by July. He said single men with dependents married men without children and those with children who cannot claim dependency will be exhausted by July. The nation wide authorization was expected soon and Maryland was seen as average in draft impact. A Washington decree cuts April quotas giving local boards a breather to study new manpower rules. Colonel Ferree cited War Department instructions for the April reduction and said it does not signal Army size changes.
