make the situation hopeless. .* The inference that can be drawn from the disclosure of the heavy allied losses is that naval reinforce- . ments will be or are being sent to bolster the rest of the united

nations’ fleet against the, possibility

of a sea-borne invasion of Australia. The experts said that if a counter offensive against the Japanese

behitid Japanese spearheads. The results of the battle mean. according to informed observers. that the use of naval strength to reopen -the lines of communication through Japan’s solidly-held \.mandated Pacific islands must be delayed and that Gen. MacArthur probably will be compelled to continue his stand on Bataan and perhaps, finally, in Corregidor fortress without any hope of immediate reinforcement. Military observers. believed that the remoteness of any important aid for Gen. MacArthur undoubt-

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 16 (U. P.)~Neutral sources said today that $he Germans had started a new systematic mass extermination of Jews in Western . (white) Russia and the Baltic countries and that the victims included many Jews just déported from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and other occupied countries. Informants said that mass execution of German-Jewish deportees was perpetrated under an order by Heinrich Himmler, chief of the Nazi gestapo, the secret police, for the extermination of all German Jews except those of more than 60 years and those employed in German armaments factories. According to the reports, the Germans executed 86,000 Jews in: the Minsk area of Russia, a former Jewish cultural center with its own Jewish radio station.
