Iaaite 4 m.nr i mh.ii..iiii run Ferl Harbor (JP) Speedy American reinforcements may be sent to Western Pacific bases and all Pacific key points, it is predicted as a result of the battle of Midway. The Japanese defeat is felt to have removed, at least for the predictable future, any threat that the mainland of the United States might be invaded.

Therefore, it is believed such forces which may have been held on the West Coast of the United States as a defense against possible in vasion have now been freed and can be sent to areas where they are more urgently needed. The battle of Midway showed the effectiveness of aircraft in coastal defense to such an extent that any area with sufficient aerial protec tion may feel reasonably safe from invasion. Such defense forces should include dive-bombers, torpedo planes, fighters and heavy bombers. Followed Same Tactics In both the Coral Sea and the Midway battles, both the Japanese and Americans followed the same attacking tactics, sending in first the dive bombers and torpedo planes against the aircraft carriers, which are the most important target. The vital job in such action is to knock out the carriers, and the Americans successfully did this in both battles.

The dive bombers and torpedo planes went in so clase they Last Salvage Drive of Season Slated in Boro North Plainfield's last salvage collection before the schools reopen in September will be held Sunday, starting at 2 p. m.

Choice Now to Railroad Tax Law Valid Newark Federal Judge Guy L. Fake believes the railroad tax compromise law passed last month by the Legislature and signed by Charles Edison to be valid. He, expressed this opinion Friday night In an order directing Central Railroad of New Jersey reorganisation trustees to take advantage of the act Immediately and settle In part a $12,117,450 tax bill due the state. The trustees said they would offer a payment by Monday, the time limit set by the act for railroads in default to take advantage of the new law. John Solan, of Attorney General David Wilentx's staff, and counsel for Jersey City failed in effort to have Judge Fake set forth in the order that he did not consider in interest previously charged against the Central for up-paid taxes to be penalty interest.

As pjenalty interest, the sum Would be canceled under the compromise laws. Solan and his associates, Joseph Weintraub and Milton B. Conford, entvVed a formal exception to the order in its entirety and said Wil-entx might appeal to the Third Federal Circuit Court. Wilentz is also attacking the compromise laws la the state courts.

Then, with the enemy carriers either sunk or out of commission and the enemy ships deprived of fighter -protection, our heavy bomb ers attacked and slammed the re maining enemy ships fleeing from the Midway area. Of course, if the Midway battle had gone the other way and the Japanese had sunk our carriers and knocked out Midway, the Hawaiian Islands probably would be fighting an invasion today. When the United States goes on the offensive and starts moving overseas against the Japanese, we will face a problem similar to that which confronted the Japanese at Midway to knock out the enemy airforCe. Then the issue will bepend upon the courage of our airmen and the skill of our aircraft builders. Pressure Eased The Midway battle definitely has eased the pressure against this area and probably against all the south ern and western Pacific, but the men who did the fighting confirm that the Japanese is still a tough enemy and that we have a long way to go before final victory.

Japan's offensive strength has been definitely reduced, but airplanes have proven such a strong weapon," both offensively and defensively, that even if the entire Japanese fleet eventually is smashed, the United States will still have a tough fight on its hands when it begins attacking 'Japanese-held areas defended by Japanese aircraft. Airplanes as Midway showed can change the entire strategic situation in the few minutes which it takes to deal a death blow to an enemy carrier. What our strategians think will be Japan's next probable move is naturally a- military secret, but much interest is centered in the possibility of a Russo-Japanese war, with some informed quarters believing that the Japanese thrusts at Midway and Alaska were the prelude to an attack on Russia. If they have decided to attack Siberia, the Japanese have had suf ficient time to withdraw their as sault forces from the southwestern Pacific, leaving only garrison troops to dig in and solidify defenses in those areas. Both the Japanese and Russians know their present peace is only a matter of convenience to both sides and that it will last only until such time as either feels it cannot wait longer to attack.

Some informed quarters believe that for Japan that time is drawing near.
