War Moves Today

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analvst After 10, days of war in the Pacific, Japan still is pursuing her preliminary strategy of separate at- * tacks over a vast area, and has not yet showed any sign of tightening her lines and concentrating air, naval and land forces on one or more main ob-

the British must try to hold it at any cost. The Japanese attacks on the Philippines have so far been beaten off. They have not been on a scale sufficient to take the important island of Luzon and the Manila bases. That s ts that the PHilippines rank as a secondary objective after Singapore. Hawaii undoubtedly is far down on the list. The opening shot of the war, the

routine prescribed by the Office of Civilian Defense. 5 The capdinal feature of this proe gram, he. said, is keeping the children inside the school building during an air raid alarm instead of sending them home. Air raid drill would consist of marching all chil dren to lower #loors or to the basement, -he said. When plans have been completed by the Council, a trial drill, similar to fire drills now held in gall schools, will bé tried at one. of the public:

Many Cities Contribute

The T000 parts from which the engine is composed arrive at the plant either in a semi-finished state ready for machining or else packed in oiled paper ready for assembly. They come from more than 70 cities all over the East and Middle West. The resulting engine, now increased to more than 1000 horsepower, is providing the power for several famous warplanes. One is the famous Curtiss P-40,] {which the British call the Toma- » {hawk or Kittihawk. Another is the deadly Bell Airacobra.
