Officers and crews are being trained for the new blimps ordered by the navy, Though relatively much slower than a plane the blimps have several advantages for specific tasks. They furnish a steadier platform for observation. Mines and submarines can be spotted easier from a hovering blimp than from a speeding plane. And they can hover for hours over a suspect vessel when a heavler-than-air craft would soon have to be speeding back to its base for more fuel.

Rooseyelt of the United States In directing an embargo of aviation fuel against Japan. The Japan Times and Advertiser, Foreign Office organ, has, however, said that, even before the American fuel embargo was reported here, British and United States moves to cut Japan off from vital supplies of oil, tin and rubber would only speed Japan on a program to become self-sufficient In the south Orient.
