With daylight, more evidence of the anti-aircraft fire were found. Santa Monica police said a shell dropped in a residential district and buried itself three feet in the ground without exploding.

the same consideration to skilled farm laborers as to defense plant workers. Support of the farm women was given to another resolution demanding that a “thorough and competent appraisal. be made regarding the necessity claims for priority on tires as they fit into the scheme of the war.”

Discrepancy Is Seen

They voiced disapproval of the fact that wholesale beer and liquor truck tires are now on priority lists while farm cars, inoperative through lack of tires, indirectly hampered the harvesting of crops. ~The health of farm people and livestock is at stake, they said, and the working standard of farmers will be lowered through inability to obtain medical aid because of lack of transportation. : Other resolutions passed this morning asked that: 1.

F. D. R, ASKS DEFEAT OF PARITY MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (U, P). —President Roosevelt ay appealed ' to congress for defeat of - legislation designed to prevent the Commodity Credit Corp. from disposing of its -stocks of surplus farm goods in an effort to keep ‘prices down. The president wrote to Vico President Henry A. Wallace as the senate prepared to debate the legislation. It was read to the senate shortly after the session convened at noon. “I believe irreparable damage to the war effort and to the farmers of the country would result: from the enactment of this legislation,” the president wrote. Senator Prentiss M. Brown (D. Mich.), leading the administration fight against the bill sponsored by Senator John H, Bankhead (D. Ala.), said the value of gevernmentheld surpluses amounts to between

said a ban on the use of these stocks would have the effect of raising the cost of living by that amount.

{of weakening Dutch intent to put

up the best battle of which they are capable with limited forces. A new army paper published for British and American forces in Java .declared that the slogan of the Spanish republicans, “They shall not pass,” has been adopted by the defenders of .Java as their own.

Set for Burma Siege

Meanwhile, civil population had been evacuated and that Burmese city was stripped down'in preparation for a siege. There were indications that the British, profiting by the lessons of Hongkong and Singapore, were hopeful of making a more extended stand at Rangoon. Already the Japanese had ecrippled, if they have not actually cut, the Burma route of supplies to China but determined efforts were under way to complete more westerly routes from India to continue the transport of vital war goods to China. However, prospects were none too good for allied maintenance of routes in the Indian ocean. Chungking dispatch reported that' the Japanese already have in operation a submarine base at Penang, the big island ‘off the Malayan west coast. : Pressure on Australia

The Japanese were putting increasing pressure on Pert Moresby, the vital Australian base which guards the Torres strait, sea link to the north Australia base of Darwin. . They made the second air attack in two days on Moresby and also attacked Salamaua on the east coast of New Guinea. Tokyo claimed that 68 allied

terday’s attacks on Bandoeng, Batavia and other Java points. A criterion of the general reliability of Tokyo reports was provided by a Japasene radio claim that the submarine shelling Monday night on the Pacific coast was a “great military success.” Actually the 25 shells lobbed toward a southern California oil refinery caused no military damage or casualties whatever.

Interest on Hitler

Interest in Germany’s plans for a spring offensive was heightened by two events. One was a statement by Adolph Hitler explaining that he was unable to attend the 22nd anniversary rally of the Nazi party at Munich because he is busy with spring plans in Crimea and South Russia. He claimed that Germany had n “surprised” by the arrival of winter on the Russian front but had been able to avert Soviet efforts to cause a “Napoleonic retreat.” The second event was /the explosion of a bomb at Ankara sc close to German Ambassador Franz Von Papen that he was knocked from his feet by the blast. It appeared that the Axis was seeking to take immediate advantage of the incident to bring hew pressure on Turkey, possibly in connection with spring plans for an offensive through that country.

ALLISON : WORKMAN INJURED IN CRASH

A head-on automobile collision with a cattle truck today caused serious injuries to Robert Sullivan, 20, who was driving from work at Allison’s to his home, 2412 Spruce st. The accident occurred at Lyndhurst drive and the Rockville road. The truck was driven by Delbert Graham, Bainbridge, who was uninjured. Both vehicles were demolished, according to state police. Mr, Sullivan was brought to the Methodist hospital, ‘where his condition was described as fair. : He sustained head . injuries and a broken wrist.

native population of India must be sold on the idea that they are fighting for their own existence, not solely for England. Neglected Too Long

This was short-sightedly neglected in the Malay peninsula and Burma, with unfortunate results. The native populations there were not even encouraged to resist the Japanese, despite the danger signals of their propaganda of “Asia for the Asiatics.” British realizatioh of the necessity .for action came weeks ago, but it was necessary to prepare the diehards at home for the blow.

Hope for Compromise

Next Lord Cranborne was made Britain's new colonial secretary. He never has been, to put it mildly, an advocate of ipdependence for India, and, hence, is a suitable man to advance a proposition which is distasteful to and considered im-

British politics. Britain has long realized that India must eventually be granted at least dominion status. India, however, is split into irreconcilable factions and her ability to establish self-rule | without bloodshed and civil war was doubted. The dominant groups in India are Mohandas K. Gandhi's Congress party, now led by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and the. Moslem league of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, The two groups never have been able to agree on the form which India’s self-government, should take.
