WASHINGTON, April 29.— z Secretary of War Stimson stated today that the Japs have slowed down their aerial warfare in the souttwest Pacific. and he marked that the reason for that let-up wes not far to seek—an apparent shortage of vlanes. The secretary said that from March 29 to April 24 the Ameri- cans and Australians destroyed 859 Jap fighters and 205 bombers, a total of 1,064, to a loss of 270 by the Allies. Tt was stated that the Japs, while raiding, or attempting to raid, Port Moresby, New Guinea, the northeast tip of that island and Henderson Airfield on Guadal- canal, they lost so many planes they have not since returned to the attack. Not only did Allied fighters shoot down. many Jap Planes, but the anti-aircraft fire was so intense and. so. accurate. the Japs went up into the sub- Stratosphere and dropped their bombs indiscriminately. SMALL FIRE NEAR ELECTRIC PLANT The fire apparatus was called out this’ afternoon at 1:20 o'clock in response to an alarm that was Pe sent in from box 233, Key West Electric Companv’s Power Plant.
