WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (U.

The President, striving™ to. hammer into every American home the gravity of the war effort, wants his “fireside” audience to spread world

sailors of the Baltic fleet, fighting as infantrymen, were credited with preventing a German-Finnish junction near Lake Ladoga on the northwest front. For 20 days the sailors resisted German attacks, Red Star said. One naval infantry brigade was said to have raided the rear lines for 14 days, killing 4800 Germans. Red Star said “several tens of thousands” Soviet sailors were fighting as independent units in the defense of Leningrad. Meanwhile, the fierceness of the battle for Java has demonstrated the determination with which the united nations and especially the Dutch are prepared to battle for the island. That it would be a battle against big odds, none could doubt. The Japanese now stand on the islands on both sides of Java—Bali and Sumatra—with only short overwater routes to their main goals of Batavia and the Soerabaja naval base. Air Bases First Target

Today's enemy air attacks on Banjoewangi, in east Java, and on Dutch air bases in hoth the east and the west emphasized the Japanese tactics of attempting to knock out the defensive air power as a probable preliminary to direct attack. Soerabaja naval base also has been heavily raided “in recent days. . In the Philippine theater action

Precedent for Pension Recalled by Dill

Ex-senator Dill says congress’ self-pension law (now hell-bent for repeal) is a piker. In 1873, one day before expiring, congress raised its own pay from $5000 a year to $7500—retroactive two: years! Furious voters unseated many members at polls, and the new congress cut pay back to $5000. (It went to $7500 again in 1906, to $10,000 in 26).
