The British island of Ceylon,
with its naval base and land-
based planes, lies athwart this
line and it would be poor strate-
gy to by-pass it. Before attack-
ing Madagascar, the Japanese
might have to try to take Ceylon,
a task of no mean proportions.
Ceylon is 1,400 miles from
Singapore. Even if the Japan-
ese took it, they would still be
2,600 miles from Madagascar. It
seems that the British may have
won the first move in the battle
of the Indian Ocean.

Voters of four states choose
party nominees for offices ranging
from senator and governor down
to minor state posts in primary
elections today.
Alabama nominated candidates
for senator, governor, House of
Representatives, and state offices.
South Dakota voters selected sena-
torial and congressional nominees.
Indiana chose candidates for con-
gressional, legislative and local
offices. Florida bal lotted on con-
gressional and minor state-wide
offices.
None of today’s primaries, the
second since the United States en-
tered the war, produced paramount
issues. Illinois was the first state
to hold a primary election after i
Pearl Harbor.

Sam Houston Normal in Hunts-
ville. In 1917 he volunteered for
military service and was a mem-
ber oi the famous “Lost Batta-
lion” during World War I. In
1932 he moved to Longview and
was active in law practice until
he became ill. He died yesterday
at 12 10 p. m. at his home.
Survivors include his widow,
from civil life.
He declared the War Depart-
ment was unalterably opposed to
an amendment to the army pay
bill, sponsored by Rep. Charles
A. Faddis, D., Pa., to prohibit
commissioning of men without
military experience. He said that
I problems of procuring weapons
for supplying a modern army
"involve special skills in which
the country is rich but in wihch
the army in peacetime is poor.”
For commissions in the combat
branches only enlisted men who
have served in officers’ candidate
schools now are eligibl , he said
and there are only three excep-
tions to this rule.
