PJ). +~Strong Japanese:forces armed with flame throwers and supported by a non-stop artillery pombardment ‘|lare hammering at Gen.: Douglas MacArthur's line in apparent preparation for “a resumption ‘of. the offensive” aimed ‘at a knockout conquest of the Philippines. Today's War Department communique reported increasing pressure on Gen. MacArthur's thinlyheld lines on Bataan peninsula and reported ominously that the Japanese are regrouping their numerically superior forces for what probably will be their all-out, supreme effort. Gen. MacArthur's right flank anchored in the vicinity of the highway center of sPilar on Manila bay was said to be under particularly heavy pressure. For the fourth day the Japanese, using newly-installed batteries and trading tons of steel with Gen. MacArthur's ' guns, laid down: a bombardment of the AmericanFilipino lines.

BRITAIN INVASION ARMY

Churchill Is Expected tof

Create Smaller War

Cabinet Soon.

LONDON, Feb. 18 (U. P.) —Great Britain is building up a parachute and air-borne invasion army and producing still bigger tank and anti-tank guns, Capt. David Margesson, anti-tank guns war secretary, said today in reviewing grim developments and future prospects on the world’s war fronts. 3 A two-day debate on the war situation will be held at the next meeting of the house of commons. Great Britain must be maintained inviolate as a bridgehead for future allied operations against the Axis on the European continent, Capt. Margesson said in emphasizing an offensive attitude. The organization on air-borne troops (big transport planes and gliders) is progressing, he said, while a number of parachute and air landing units already are organized. : In regard to armored land forces —the striking power for a future offensive against the Axis in Europe ~he said that Britain now was working on production of still larger tank guns. At the same .time, he added, defénse against enemy tanks is being strengthened with production of anti-tank guns of even greater penetrating power than any now in use. ° (Lord Beaverbrook, minister of production, recently said that the British were now puiting out the most powerful anti-tank guns ever built, capable of penetrating any tank armot.)

SCHULTE STRESSES LABOR'S WAR ROLE

Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Free American labor will be the greatest factor for victory in this war, Rep. William T. Schulte (D. Ind.) predicted today in a congressional speech. “American labor knows that this war is a challenge to itself,” the Hoosier congressman said. “It is a challenge to its method of work, mode of life and means of progress. American labor accepts that challenge. It accepts it eagerly and determinedly for American r knows that in any duel of production it cannot come off second best.” Rep. Schulte represents the Calumet industrial district, which includes the Gary steel mills and Hammond oil refineries.

Uses First Aid . To Revive Dog

FT. WAYNE, Ind. Feb. 19 (U. P.)—From now on, milkman Ralph Latham Jr., will be the very favorite caller at the home of a beautiful white shepherd dog named Jane.

Jane, belonging to Archie Amos, of Pt. Wayne, was-nosing around the Amos basement. But she was just a little too curious and when her wet nose came .in contact with a 220-volt outlet on a power _ saw, Jane apparently was electrocuted. Mr. Latham arrived just then, Remembering a resuscitation method taught him in a first aid course, he applied it to tlie dog. A few minutes later Jane was not in the least dead. But her new interest in life does not include the Amos basement.

Ba i / T ay s War Mo By LOUIS F. KEEMLE foi United Press War Analyst Soviet Russia is preparing for a long ws for a reorganized post-war Russia which will not be vulnerable a second ‘time to invasion from the West. That is the conclusion to be drawn from the de ' cree ordering the psruaniont: settlement in eastern Russia of millions of workers who evacuated their homes and factories in the west in the face of the German invasion. It does not mean that the Soviét Union is abandoning European Russia as a probable loss and is preparing to withdraw into its shell beyond the Urals. It does mean a new Russia with a different, stronger economic and industrial balance. It is to be accomplished by one of the greatest population shifts, achieved in an ordinary manner, in history. How many millions are involved) it is hard to say, but the figure might be around 10,000,000 or more.

‘Russians Get Land, Jobs

This Russian re-settlement is not to be compared to the mass shift in populations callously carried out by Hitler in Europe, particularily among the Jews and Poles. In the latter case, millions were booted from their homes, farms and businesses, stripped of their possessions and money and herded into. non-productive regions to starve and die. The Russians will be given land and material to build permanent homes. They will be fruitfully employed in the. new network of industries being set up east of the Urals and in Siberia.

. Planned Years Ago

The exigiencies of war have served to speed up a vast project which already was under way. Russia years ago saw the danger of invasion from the west and the threat to her unbalanced economic structure because of the top-heavy concentration of her industry west of the Urals. Under the second and third fiveyear plans, emphasis was laid on

and

the development of Siberian . coal,

production was already that time. It undoubthas been stepped up amazingly. 3 Even if the west were lost, Soviet leaders are determined there always will be a Russia. But they do not count on losing the west. They envision the factories, mines and power plants of the Ukraine, Donbass and elsewhere back in operation, making Russia twice as strong as before. 4

BY U. S STUDED

Officials Urge Lease of Short-Wave Stations to

Answer Axis Radios.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (U, P.) ~~ Plans for establishment of an Arnerican radio propaganda service rejembling the British Broadcast

|ing Co. are being considered today

by a group of influential officials. Officials were reported to be studying a proposal that the gove ernment lease at least most of the 11. existing short-wave stations or buy time over them to match axis radio attacks on this country. ‘The plan also includes arrange.’ ments for sending large numbers of. radio receiving sets to Latin America where the axis has eentered much of its major propagane da efforts. A total of 1,000,000 sets has been mentioned as a likely figure at the start—not large considering Latin America’s population of 130,000,000. But, it was explained, in Latin America few individuals outside the major cities own sets. They are placed in public places in small villages where the community listens.
