IN THE MEDITERRANEAN, Dec. 13 (Delayed). —Four Allied destroyers, churning a foaming wake in a sea, steamed at more than 40 miles an hour into a dimly outlined battle fleet under a moonless blue

black sky at 2:30 a. m. today.

Twenty minutes later, their speed unslackened, they steamed away, without a scratch, leaving one 5000-ton Italian cruiser blazing, another sinking, its back broken: a torpedo boat crippled and a motor tor-

pedo boat blown to pieces.

PERIL TO BASES | SOBERS BRITISH

If Hongkong- Is to Fall, What of Other Places, London Times Asks. By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

LONDON, Dec. 20.—Penang is gone. Hongkong, though fighting gamely against terrific odds, is likely to be taken by the Japanese at any hour. Both of these bases were import-

important for other reason; for generations every citizen of the British commonwealth of nations had been convinced that both were well nigh invulnerable. The British Government has poured money into the defense of both places, and particularly into the defense of Hongkong. During the last four weeks the British Government has advertised its own cone viction that Hongkong was defensible by reinforcing the place, with Canadians, among others.

What of Other Places

What every thinking person in England wants to know today is why the British government was so grievously wrong about Hongkong and whether it is just as wrong about other places of even greater strategic importance. What m prove to be a very serious nat.onal inquiry into the Government's handling of the whole situation has already been started in a sober way by the London Times.

Wrong Impression Charged

Referring to Hongkong today, it admits that “its dangerous and exposed positions was well understood” but cites the damning fact that “recent reports, official, semi-official and non-official, emphasized the strength of the fortress and the thoroughness with which its defense had 3 been prepared.” The impression was given, it continues “that it was capable of holding out for months against any which the Japanese could bring against it.” “The loss of the island after so brief, though gallant, a resistance is bound to give fresh impetus to

Supreme Chief?

HIGH POST SEEN FOR MACARTHUR

Command of Allied Forces In Far East Believed Behind Promotion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (U.P). — The anti-Axis powers may be preparing a super-strategy plan that will place America’s newest general —Douglas - MacArthur—in supreme command of all Allied forces in the crucial Far Eastern struggle. This possibility was viewed today as the real answer to President Roosevelt's action in promoting Gen. MacArthur, chief of the U. 8. Army of the Philippines, to temporary rank as full general, And it seemed to add up becuuse: 1. Mr. Roosevelt announced the promotion even as he confirmed that plans for establishing an Inter-Allied command to mastermind operations on a world-wide front are being discussed here,

London Favors American

2. Swift Senate approval of the promotion came on the admitted basis that Gen. MacArthur probably would have to have the rank of full general to “deal on an equal

basis” with military officials of

the well justified demand of the America’s allies.

BARBER UNION ASKS

quate share in determining policy| 8. London, which broke the first news of the contemplated InterAllied War Council, suggested earlier in the week that Gen. MacArthur would be the preferred choice. to command the Allied armies of the Far East. 4. Gen. MacArthur has added tremendously to his prestige as a shrewd tactican with his brilliant direction of the Philippine defenses —the one bright spot in the Far Eastern picture. On the basis of these developments, it was predicted that one of the first strategic strokes of the Supreme Allied War Council, once it is created, will be to give Gen. MacArthur full charge of the big show in the Far Eastern theater of conflict. May Move to Singapore

And it is no military secret that the center of this big show is Singa-

69-GENT HAIRCUTS

The State Board of Barbers’ Ex-t aminers today was studying facts presented at a hearing last night concerning proposals to increase barber prices after the first of the year. Between 400 and 500 Indianapolis barbers attended a public hearing at the State House last night when the price question was discussed amid boos and cheers. Kenneth E. Smith, State Board chairman, said the board “probably will issue an order on prices and shop hours sometime after Jan. 5.” Although board members declined to discuss what the order will contain, several leaders of the Indianapolis Barbers Union predicted that prices will be increased from 50 to 65 cents for haircuts and from 25 to 35 cents for shaves. Henry M. Dowling, attorney for the Independent Barbers’ Association, was booed when he attempted to present the association's opposition to the price increase. Mr. Dowling said that if the State Board orders prices increased “we

Competent observers believed the next 60 days would tell the story, and that some time within that period, Gen. MacArthur may move over from the Philippines to Singapore to direct the show from there. It was believed that a British military leader may direct any action in the Near and Middle East because of British experience in colonial warfare. Soviet Premier

LONDON, Dec. 20 (U, P.).—A fearless but apparently doomed band of British Imperials fought in the bomb-scarred streets and on the

today without asking or giving quarter to overwhelmingly s.ronger Japanese invaders. e end of 100 years of Britisna rule may come at any hour. .But for the time being the defenders

island. Odds Overwhelming.

The diminishing band of Honge kong defenders have little or no chance of being withdrawn, a United Press dispatch from Singa= pore emphasized. Singapore officials said that it was understood that as many as possible of the defenders and popue lation were given refuge on Vice toria Peak, which is so rough and steep that there are no roads up its sides except for pedestrians and sedan chairs.

Guns Perched on Hills

British guns perched on Victoria and on another range of smaller hills were reportel by Singapore to be taking a heavy toll of enemy assault troops, but Japanese big guns in Kowloon were hammering at the British positions and protecting the landing of more and more enemy forces. A military commentator in Lon- . don said that the defenders of Hongkong included British, Canae dian and Indian infantry of about equal parts. Artillery and engineers and other units are chiefly from the United Kingdom, in ade dition to a comparatively strong force from the Hongkong naval and military volunteer units. The civilian volunteers, he said, include many Chinese. He refused to state the total strength of the garrison, which Axis sources had reported at about 7500 men.
