Christian Balks at Nazi Demand for Laws, London Hears.
Copyright, 1942, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc, LONDON, Jan. 5.—~King Christian X of Denmark has threatened to abdicate because of German insist ence that Denmark adopt the Nurenberg laws, it is learned in Lon= don. Christian's threat came as the cli= max of & long series of political maneuvers by three pro-Nazi meme bers of the Danish government and their German backers. The trouble started when anti-

west of Manila have defeated a frontal attack by the Japa-
nese in one of the outstanding American operations of
the war thus far. It was indicated that the State Department was awaiting information from diplomats of Switzerland, which is handling United Staves interests in Manila regarding the terrorizing of civilians reports.
TOKYO, Jan. § (Official Broadcast Recorded by United Press in New York). —The Imperial High Command sources said today that _ measures were being taken in conquered Manfla to prevent activithes by “White Fifth Colamnists” Official categorically denied “foreign reports” that the white population of Manila was being subjected to indiscriminate treatment. Such reports “obviously were faked” to serve the purpose of “propaganda,” the High Command said.
Yesterday's communique telling of Japanese discrimination against all white persons in Manila and of “especially harsh” treatment accorded American civilians, aroused anxiety for the considerable group of U. S. citizens in that city—perhaps as many as 2500 of them. It is understood that many Amer. « joan women and children have found refuge in the fortess on Corregidor Island and that many other women fled to Batan Province, behind the American-Filipino lines, before the Japanese entered Manila. All white persons in Manila have been ordered by the Japanese military to remain indoors on penalty of being shot.

nearly three times the total value of all the cars it manufactured in 1840. . Mr. Knudsen and Mr. Hillman expected to propose a broad program for converting the auto industry to war production with the least dislocation possible. It is expected t8 include proposals for subcontracting of large war orders,
{pooling of engineering and pro-

A plan also may be advanced by the OPM’s civilian supply division to concentrate all limited auto production in one comparatively small plant to assure production of some autos and trucks for Government, lend-lease and essential civilian use when present stocks are depleted.

ers like we are because we can never be exchanged. Japan has no exchange prisoners-—-no Japanese is supposed to become a prisoner. This is the most shameful thing that could have happened to us. Now we can never go home. Even after the war ends we cannot go back to Japan. If we did our families would be disgraced.” While the pilot talked the two Japanese gunners sat on their cots, mostly listening. Sometimes the young forward guner with a patch over his right eye uttered a few words animstedly, momentarily losing his dull deadpan expression. The rear-gunner, a burly Japanese peas-
slant who said he used to be a
wrestler, looked even more like a second-rate ex-pug than his companion. He just looked dim and you couldn't tell whether he was thinking or maybe just trying to. All three greatly resembled most of the Japanese soldiers I had seen in southern Indo-China last September—tough, obedient and patriotic but not suffering from over education. The pilot was saying: “We thought the United States Army was not and so was weaker than us but we knew American equipment was much, much better than ours. What's happened at Singapore? . . . Well, we thought Singapore would be hard to take but the Philippines were lots simpler.

Jap Pilot Glad.He Didn't Commit Hara-Kiri; Learns Capture No Disgrace in U. S. Army
American and British planes are much faster than ours. We think Russian pilots are not too good. They handle their planes clumsily. But the Americans and British come right at you—very hard.” The Japanese pilot, only 25 years old, had wrenched his back in the chute landing, temporarily paralyzing his legs. Now, however, he sat up hunched up on his bed puffing a cigaret. “Tr don’t know whether an Amer jcan , or British plane shot me down,” he sald. "I never saw the plane, It came up under me suddenly. Then my ship was in flames and a wing fell off. Yes, this was the first time I had been in action and my two friends from the bomber had never been in an air fight before.” When asked about the rumor that Japanese pilots had come down in parachutes firing tommyguns, all three registered unfeigned surprise. “When you're coming down in a parachute you've got too much else to worry about without shooting a gun,” the pilot said. The pilot revealed that he did not like Japan’s much-touted Zero

between the Japanese Army and Navy. There was a race betwéen the two services to occupy American and British business property.
Bitter Toward Americans
The original occupation proclamations said that the Japanese Army and Navy jointly had taken over but in each instance the Navy blacked out the word “Army” from the proclamations and forced the Army to evacuate from some premises. A bitter anti-foreign propaganda campaign launched by the Japanese was modified when the German consul protested that Axis foreign. ers should not be included. The Japanese then switched to a straight anti-American, anti-British line, Neutrals and Chinese are allowed great freedom and thousands have started to evacuate Shanghai to the countryside because of the extreme food shortage.

fighter. But he admitted that it would stand rougher handling and that there was less danger of its wings falling off. We remained with the three Japanese prisoners for almost an hour and they séemed greatly relieved by this break in the monotony of having no one to speak with but themselves. They confirmed the fact that all Japanese aviators carry cameras, fishing equipment and contraceptives, all of which have been found in fallen ‘Japanese planes in Burma. ' When leaving they urged Maj.| | Merrill to revisit them. “I'm t00 busy, thanks to the activities of the Japanese Army,” smiled the major. The pilot combined frankness with courtesy in his reply. “We are glad that our Army Is doing well,” he said. “But sorry you are so busy.” In leaving I still had the impression that we had been talking with two ex-prize fighters and their trainer and wondered what greater Asia's “co-prosperity sphere” would be like if policed and directed by a legion of men like these..
