BIGGEST BUDGET IN WORLD'S HISTORY FOR U. S. (Contniued from Page 1) would have to pass Upon tiWSer Vnrrtracts before they could go into effect, and could, in effect, make them larger or smaller, quicker or slower. LUZON: Defense When the history of World War II is written it will have become evident that the defense of Luzon by the American-Filipino forces under Gen. Douglas MacArthur should be placed alongside of other famous “last stands.” Conceded only the slimmest possible hope of hanging on ufttil help might arrive, the MacArthur forces, entrenched in the Mariveles mountains back of Manila bay, had reported not only stemming an “allout” Japanese drive, but that they had driven the attackers back. They had forced the Japs to remove their big guns far to the rear, out pf range of the American batteries, had silenced 11 Japanese batteries, and had raised havoc with charging detachments of tanks and infantry. Not in any way claiming that the Japanese advance had been permanently checked, General MacArthur reported to Washington that the 24hour battle had shown definitely that the American guns and gunnery were superior to those of the^nemy. The Japs claimed that *ey had taken Olongapo, naval base on a bay to the north of Manila bay, and this had been confirmed by Washington. There was more than a suspicion that the Japs were content to let the present armed forces now in the Philippinas do the “mopping up” against the MacArthur army, and had turned their attention rather to increasing the tempo of the allimportant Malay offensive, and the general offensive against the Dutch East Indies, using Mindanao as a base.

SUBMARINE: Action Navy planes and ships had a busy time chasing enemy submarines reported lurking off the East coast of the U. S. Two ships were reported sunk by submarine action off Long Island, N. Y. The first was the Panamanian tanker Norness which was hit by three torpedpes about 120 miles from the coast. Next day watchers on shore claimed they saw a submarine sink another ship about 23 miles from shore. Meanwhile U. S. underwater craft were also busy, but the location of their action was not disclosed. The navy reported that a 17,d00 ton Jap ship of the type used as a plane carrier had been sunk by U. S. submarines in Far Eastern waters. MALAYA: Scorched Earth The house of commons criticism of the British Malaya forces in not carrying out the scorched earth poli<# was met by dispatches which had been delayed tending to show that the British had applied that policy in the completest way possible. An eyewitness description of the British evacuation of Perka, Selan- j gor and Kuala Lumpur, the' latter an important rubber city and the capital of the Federated Malay States bore this out. A Durdin dispatch to the Times from Seremban stated that in Perak and Selangor alone millions of dollars’ worth of rubber stocks and rubber processing plants and millions more in tin mine dredges and tin ore processing machinery had been destroyed. In addition the destruction of pestroleum products totaled several millions of dollars. Copra and coal docks were dynamited or burned. Dynamiters were mining the country through which the Japs were approaching closer to Singapore, and this was evident in the slowing down of the Japanese advance. Describing the evacuation of Kuala Lumpur, Durdin wrote that the British had opened the larger stores and had removed what stocks it wanted, and then had left the stores open to allow the population to take what it wished. The inhabitants seethed up and down the streets which were littered with refuse, carrying what they had been able to get aboard rickshas, on bicycles and on shoulders and heads. corner of the city soundedAhe "booming explosions as the Punjab sappers and dynamiters destroyed bridges, roads and other communication links as soon as the British convoys had moved through the city. Two large department stores were completely despoiled of goods within a few hours. Coolies who had never tasted chocolate candy went about with their arms full, giving them away to others who had none. The burning of the rubber trees was not possible, but since the plants producing rubber and the rubber stocks were burned, the British say it will be a long time before the Japs can get any. HITLER: Has He Fled? Unconfirmed reports had been received from the Russian front that Hitler, with Smolensk threatened by the Russian armies, had fled to a safer point. While this had been impossible of confirmation, the Red headquarters reported capture of towns in the “Smolensk area” which showed that the war was coming uncomfortably close to “Der Fuehrer” if he was still there on the scene of actual service.

AIR: Supremacy Sought There was every indication that the battle for air supremacy in the Far Eastern theater of war was definitely being battled for. The news dispatches had contained increasing reports of air battles on all fronts, and though there was still no that General MacArthur had any sort of an air arm, both the British and Dutch defenses were being bolstered by American, Chinese and Australian planes. The Dutch early had said that if the Allies would give them enough planes, they could defeat Japanese efforts to capture important strongholds in their islands. The Japs, on the other hand, were continuing to capture some, including the island of Tarakan, a small islet defended by about as many men as had stood before the Japs at Wake island. The Dutch defenders finally had to surrender, though more than half of the garrison got away and lived to fight another day. Before leaving and before the remainder were forced by the odds to lay down their arms, they reported having muied and blown up all the oil wells oir the island, an important small producer of petroleum. It still was not definite where the high command had set up headquarters, save that it was somewhere on the island of Java, but whether at Batavia, from which most of the dispatches were coming, or at Surabaya, could not be learned. An idea of what the capture of Tarakan meant, by the way, was the D r uteh figure on its oil output, 80,0001 tons monthly of the finest grade of petroleum. The Dutch, in describing the destruction of the wells, said, simply: “The Japanese have found that we were not bluffing when we announced that no oil installations would be permitted to fall into their hands.’’ PAN-AMERICA: Opens Conference Os vital importance had been considered the Pan-American conference of nations, which had opened its sessions at Rio, with Sumner Welles in charge of affairs for the American state department. There were really only two daubtfuls on the list, but they were important, and covered the southern half of the continent —Argentina and Chile. Yet, as the conference met, with the announced purpose of further fulfilling the general blockade against the Axis by a continental breaking of relations with all Axis nations, it was felt quite hopeful that Argentina and Chile would come in and enter the joint action wholeheartedly. OUSTER: Against Dye Men Five of the principal operating executives of the General Aniline and Film corporation were summarily ousted from their position by order of the treasury department, which had been trying for several months to establish that the company actually was owned by the Nazi firm of I. G. Farbenindustrie. The men suspended, all naturalized citizens of German birth, were Dr. Rudolph Hutz, a director; Hans Aickelen and William Vom Rath, both former directors who resigned within the past month; F. W. Von Meister, general manager of the Oxalid division, and Leopole Eckler, acting general manager of the AgfaAnsco division. They have been refused the right, among other things, to enter the premises of the company. December 12 the treasury department placed 17 of its operatives in the main offices of the company. MISCELLANY: London: Germans were resuming constant raids, though' on a small scale, of British towns. Most of them were on the northeast coast and in East Anglica. Rio de Janeiro: Uruguay became the second.of the Latin-American republics to sign a lease-lend pact with the United States, entitling it to receive substantial shipments of arms and munitions. Office supplies. Advance-News.

GERMANS, ITALIANS AND JAPANESE MUST GET IDENTIFICATION CARDS Attorney General Francis Biddle today announced new regulations affecting the conduct of German, Italian and Japanese nationals throughout continental United States. The new regulations, issued under authority of the Presidential proclamation of January 14, 1942, relating to alien enemies, require all German, Italian and Japanese aliens to apply at the nearest first or second class, or county seat, post office for a Certificate of Identification. The requirement applies to all enemy nationals 14 years of age or over who have not yet taken the oath of ’egiance before a Federal the final step in acquiring American citizenship. The identification program, which will affect approximately 1,100,000 German, Italian and Japanese non-citizens, will be directed by Earl G. Harrison, former Director of Alien Registration and now a Special Assistant to the Attorney General advising on alien problems. The regulations provide for two separate periods for the submitting of applications for identity certificates, as follows: 1. All Gehman, Italian and Japanese nationals residing in the states of California, Oregorij Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Montana, Utah and Idaho are required to file applications at the nearest first or second class, or county seat, post office between February 2 and February 7, 1942, inclusive. 2.

The regulations require enemy aliens, in applying for identification certificates, to provide a photograph of themselves (to be attached to the identity card) and to answer a number of questions concerning their current activities. Printed directions for the filing of applications will shortly be available at post offices. The regulations provide that after a careful check has been made of each applicant, the applicant will be provided with a Certificate of Identification bearing his photograph, index fingerprint and signature. He will thereafter be required to carry the certificate with him at c all times. MRS.
