4th Plane in Five Years   lAUSTRALIA FEARS To Crash Same Mountain
Washington. May 2. (UPi — Expert opinion was divided to¬ night over the significance of various unofficial reports that the Japanese are preparing either for an assault on Australia or a grandscale attempt to sever Am¬ erican supply lines through the South  Pacific.
Some military experts detected evidences of a "wsr of nerves" focussed on Australia tn veil a drive in some other direction. perhaps against Russian Siberia or Alaska, or possibly Hawaii. Navy Is Beady Other* contended thst Indica¬ tions of a forthcoming attack on Australia or the Allied supply routea are the "renl thing." They pointed out that recent reports havc indicated the presence of a powerful Japanese fleet con¬ centration in the Marshall Islands. From there, the Jap na\'y could strike in several directions—at Auslralia or its flanks, or westward srross sea lanes traversed by U. S. supply and  troop ships.
Exponents of Ihe "war of nerves" theory said the Japnn- nese appear to be following the old Axis strategy of portending action In a certain direction and then striking elsewhere. Berlin  Aiding  Tokyo
They pointed out Berlin Is aid¬ ing th. Japanese in these tnctics. A   German  broadcast,  quoting  a
Shanghai dispatch, reported that the Japs "apparently" ar. pre¬ paring for an attack nn Aus¬ tralia. This dispatch said tension was increasing In Northern Australia because it was evi¬ dent .lapnn diil nnt Intend 'o wail for an Allied attack on t le territory it has occupied in thc Southwest   Pacific.
Possibly, these experts said. Ihe Japanese mny be attempt- ting to ncutrnlize rerent reports from Australia that an Allied nffenslve was nearing reality. Perhaps, they suggested, the eneniy is seeking to influence a change from an attack tn a de¬ fense psychology in the minds of Ihe Allied command in Australia. It wa.s not unreasonable to be¬ lieve, they added, that the pres¬ ence of two enemy planes over Townsville. Australia, may be part of such a scheme.
Furthermore, these observers believed Jspan soon may be called upon to contribute tn its Axis obligations by moving against Russia, although there are no official indications nf in- rrcssing Russo-Japsne.se ten.'ion. Such a move, they feel, would be timed to coincide with the long- antirlpated German spring drive in Russin. But even if the drive dors not materialize, they said. Germanv may In.sist that .lapan strike nt Siberia tn relieve Soviet pressure on the F.tiropean front, shopping,  was not touched.
