prior to the full hemisphere defense committee session. Ruiz Guinazu said “there is a possibility of a public session this afternoon,” indicating that an accord might bé announced. Rosetti said: “There will be concrete and final decisons this afternoon. Continental solidarity will not be broken.”

Phraging of Text Involved

The controversy hinges on the phrasing of the text. Bragilians said

they were confident that the dead-

lock over the resolution would be] broken today. However, it was believed that the other 200 American nations would proceed to approve the severance resolution today regardless of Argentina's action. Argentina balked at two words in the revised reselution. It said the American nations “cannot continue” diplomatic relations with the Axis because of its aggressions. The Ar-

‘Lonely Private’ Meets Girl Soon

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (U.P). —Marie Thomas, 12, dropped a piece of paper with her name, address and the injunction “write me,” on it from her family’s car 18 months ago. Two days ago, at her home "a Arlington, Va., she got the following letter from a “lonely private” at Ft. Belvoir: “I am an ardent admirer of | popular dance music and enjoy dancing as a jitterbug, also enjoy waltzing. Please write me. I will hold my breath until ybu answer.” Today Marie's mother, Mis. Claude Thomas, said Marie was a bit young for dates, but said she would invite the soldier up for | a week-end, anyway. Mrs, Thomas will get the “lonely private” a date, too, “with some nice girl and they can jitter bug and waltz as much as they want to.”

DUTCH BLAST 8 JAP SHIPS

12 Direct Hits Scored; British Forced Back

Toward Singapore. (Continued from Page One)

battleship, two cruisers, a destroyer and four transports were hit directly by Dutch bombs that ranged up to 660 pounds—sufficient to cause fatal damage to a warship in most instances and to sink a transport.

Transports Smashed

One large transport was smashed by one of the heaviest bombs as was the big warship, the communique reported. Dive bombers swooped down on two other large transports, a destroyer and a smaller vessel, storing direct hits on all, according to the communique. Whether American flying fort[résses which are now in the Dutch East Indies took part in the operations was not indicated by the communique, which referred only to Dutch army bombers and fighters. Despite British withdrawals on all! three fronts in Malaya, furious! fighting continued less than 60 miles from Singapore.

Fall Back in Malaya

The Japanese had penetrated the! Batu Pahat sector on the west coast, 60 miles north of Singapore Island, and then turned toward the central Malay front, where there] was heavy fighting in the Chaah River sector, 72 miles north of the| naval base, before the British were] forced to fall back. On the eést coast, the Japanese had forced their way into the Mersing sector, 64 miles north of Singapore. Aerial activity continued to increase on both sides with new enemy attacks on Singapore, where eight or 10 Japanese craft have | been brought down in the last 24! hours.

Use Snaky Tactics

The west coast was the vital zone in the present phase of operations. | Infiltrations continued and in addi-| tion the Japanese were still leap-| frogging down the coast in an at«| tempt to get a large force behind the imperial lines, As they snaked down the coast, the Japanese also tried without giv=| ing in direct battle to the heavily! outnumbered defense forces, to work inland and gain control of) the road system which crosses] Malaya from west to east, thus joining their east and wes’ coast forces for the decisive battle which is at hand. Gen. Henry Gordon Bennett, the| Australian commander in Malaya, | was increasingly serious in his con« | fidential reviews of the situation at| his rubber plantation headquarters, but he, like his men and the re-| mainder of the imperial forces, were cheerful and ready for the test.

South of Singapore

South of Sinpagore, the Japanese bombed the Dutch bases at Belawan,| the port for Medan in northern Sumatra, for the third time, and] struck at Sabang and Gorontalo airdrome, which the Dutch were using to fight the enemy invasion | of northern Celebes island. A Japanese squadron also bombed Palembang airport, in southern Sumatra, while Dutch craft blasted the Japanese at Kuching, the capital of enemy-held Sarawak, on the| north Borneo coast. | The Japanese ruled the air over the island groups north and east of Australia, with “clouds” of enemy | craft reported over New Guinea, | A Japanese fleet was operating in| that area. Australian officials ex-| pected an_ invasion.
