RANGOON RAIDS GROW FIERCER

But Allied Air Power Still Is Dominant in

Burma.

RANGOON, Burma, Jan. 14 (U. P.).—Japanese planes returned today to bomb objectives north of Rangoon. It appeared to observers that the number of Japanese planes was larger than usual and that antiaircraft fire was heavier, British planes struck at Japanese bases in Thailand yesterday and the Japanese bombed points in Burma, but the balance was in favor of the British. The Japanese attacked an airdrome north of Rangoon and also bombed Ayongon. There was no damage. British fighters shot down a Japanese patrol plane in flames over favoy, 250 miles southeast of Rangoon They attacked Prachuapgirikhand and Ratburi, in the narrow strip of southwestern Thailand opposite Burma, severely damaging two enemy planes on the ground at Prachuapgirikhand. A train also was blown up in the Ratburi station.

There were no British losses.

PRESSURE PUT | ON ARGENTINA

Rio Conference Aims at Full Break Between Axis

And Americas.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 14— Serious efforts were under way here today, on the eve of tomorrow's unprecedented conference of American foreign ministers, to induce Argentina to change her mind and join the rest of the Hemisphere in severing all relations with the Axis. ‘Thus far, Argentina has shown no sign of yielding, but it is sitll too early to place long-odds that she will not yield in the end. The head of practically every

Latin American delegation here had planned to spend yesterday and today paying official calls on the Argentine foreign minister, Ruiz-Guinazu, first out of friendship, and second to let him know exactly where they stood.

Favor Axis Break

As they are in favor of a complete break in relations with the Axis, his was regarded as a diplomatic way of breaking the news that he is likely to find himself in a minority of one if he persists in refusing to implement the Act of Havana by another step forward instead of what would amount to a timely retreat. But Ruiz-Guinazu fooled everyone by again failing to arrive. Instead, he suddenly decided to spend last night ntidway between Buenos Aires and Rio. However, the formal calls will begin soon after his arrival, which is now scheduled for today. Meanwhile, nothing is being said or done here which would make Argentina’s position more adifficult than it already is. Nevertheless, a feeling is distinctly apparent that in the entire history of Pan-Amer-ican conferences none ever faced such a clear mandate for action as this one.

Argentina Ratified Act

Beginning at Lima, all 21 American republics pledged themselves to inter-American solidarity in the event of the Western Hemisphere being menaced from the outside. The first meeting of American foreign ministers, at Panama, clinched the pact of Lima, and the second meeting, at Havana, doted the eyes and crossed the tees of what had been done at Panama. In effect, it said a hostile act on the part of any non-American state against any American state would constitute a hostile act against all. Ssduns subsequently ratified the act. Not to break with the Axis now. in view of the actual war against the United States, thus would constitute a humiliating backdown on the part of the Western Hemisphere in the face of Axis aggression. Ruiz-Guinazu is on the spot.

Map Post-War Plan

High on the conference agenda will be a plan offered by Colombia for a series of interlocking pacts among the Pan-American nations to protect the peace of the Hemisphere after the war. Another plan, sponsored hy Chile with wide backing, will propose collaborative Pan-American naval convoys and a Hemispheric General Staff on Defense, which probably would sit at Washington. Possibility of a new hitch developed today. An authoritative source asserted Ecuador would not atend the conference unless definite action on her boundary dispute with Peru is taken.

MOSLEMS ANSWER RED CALL TO ARMS!

KUIBYSHEV, Jan. 12 (Delayed) | (U. P.) —Hard riding Moslem tribesmen were reported crossing the wild Caucasus mountain ranges today to concentration points where they will be organized into national units to fight the German invaders. The renowned warriors, who were the last to be subjugated by the Czarist armies, now are answering the Kremlin's call to arms. They are leaving their homes in mountain fastnesses and are taking their own horses to mobilization points for training and equipment. The Moslem horsemen will be privileged to wear their hereditary medieval war costumes, including enormous black woollen “burki” or cloaks. They will wear their ancient coats with cartridge pouches across their breasts. This part of the uniform is similar to that of the Cossacks. 4s a further mark of distinction the Moslem horsemen will be armed with scimitars, besides rifles, machine guns and horse-drawn machine guns.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MALAYA STORM AIDS DEFENDERS

Tropical Rains Mire Jap Troops in March on

Singapore.

By HAROLD GUARD United Press Staff Correspondent SINGAPORE, Jan. 14. — A torrential tropical rainstorm came to

the aid of the Imperial army today as a powerful Australian force was reported prepared for big scale action and Empire planes were increasingly in evidence against big Japanese plane fleets which rained bombs throughout southern Malaya. Rain which started at noon yesterday turned into a terrific deluge during the night. The storm practically immobilized offensive operations to the north, where the Imperial forces were withdrawing slowly and stubbornly, destroying everything useable as they retired. The rain gave the imperial forces, preparing for a finish fight in Johore province immediately north of Singapore Island, precious hours in which to prepare their defense. Authoritative sources admitted that the retreat would continue for the immediate present, but it was intimated that as the fighting got nearer the Johore boundary, 90 miles to the north,.the Japanese would meet opposition likely to turn the trend more toward the defenders’ favor.

Tokyo Charges Sinks Jap

TOKYO, Jan. 14—(Official Radio Recorded by United Press at New

York, London and San Francisco.) —Imperial headquarters said today that an enemy submarine sank the Japanese hospital ship Harbin Maru in the South China Sea on Jan. 8. (Radio Berlin was heard by United Press in London broadcasting a dispatch from “Tokyo headquarters” that the Harbin Maru was sunk last Saturday by an American submarine, and all but six members’ of the crew and the wounded were rescued.) “Tokyo also asserted that Japanese bombers had sunk Seven Allied ships in the Malacca straits and had taken heavy toll of British troops south of Kuala Lumpur. Nationalities of the ships reportedly sunk were not identified, nor was the time of the attack given.

Bombers Raid Singapore

A dispatch from Malaya said a tank unit, the vanguard of the Japanese forces, crossed the frontier of Negri Sembilan state last night and was pursuing the British, who were in hasty retreat toward Malacca, 120 miles northwest of Singapore. Forty thousand British troops were estimated to be fighting in Negri Sembilan. The official broadcast. quoted Malaya sources asserting that Japanese troops had won complete control of Pahang state, bordering Johore in eastern Malaya, north of Singapore. Despite bad weather, formations

'U. S. Sub’ 'Hospital Ship’

of Japanese planes raided Singapore yesterday afternoon, it was asserted, doing important damage to military installations.

A communique said special naval units had landed on the east coast of Celebes, and occupied the town of Kema, in the extreme northeast. Other Japanese units were reported to have taken Tondano, in the north of Celebes Island.

A naval spokesman said that losses in landings on Celebes and Minahassa Islands were “negligible.” A special correspondent of Asahi said in a dispatch from the Philippines that the Japanese were continuing encirclement operations against enemy forces in the Bataan Peninsula. The Americans have been reinforced by coastal artillery and some tanks and have counterattacked, but without result, he said. (The German radio quoted the Japanese newspaper Nichi Nichi that an “estimated” 50,000 Americans and Filipinos were fighting in Bataan and suffering from a food shortage. Artillery was said to be softening up the enemy for an infantry charge.)
