 British shock troops landed on two islands off the Norwegian coast Saturday under cover of 6 smoke screen laid down by their planes and 0 boinbardment by airplanes and warships, while long range bombers blasted the nearest German air field, 100 miles away, to prevent the dir7atch of rescue planes 1t was disclosed.

 There have been clear indication that Britain, using It's secretly trained commando shock troops, enc visages raids of bigger and bigger scale, anywhere from the Arctic Circle to F'rance's Bay of Biscay, in preparation for "the day" when 1t Is Germany's turn to fight an in- vader from the west.

San Francisco, Dec. 20-(UP)-- The war of nerves in the Pacific apparently was on today as the Navy announced that c powerful Japanese radio station had Inter- tered with American international broadcasts to describe the "bomb- ing of San Francisco"
 'This was the first evidence of atn apparent new propaganda tech- nique by the Japanese--an effort to create panic by means of the direct lie," the Navy said. "Actlial. ly San Francisco spent quiet night"
 Accompanying the announcement was a Navy warning that hsten- CTS should remain alert for enemy attempts to conf lse them by Inc jecting false reports on American broadcastsng wave lengths.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur Reports Fight Still Going On
Messages Go Direct From United States Army Headquarters, Luzon
On Both South, North Fronts Our Forces Are
 in Fighting Mood
BY FRANZ WEISBLATT Limited Press stan, COrrespondent)

ANGES9bAANASAANf
 U. s. Army Field Headquarters, Northern Luzor, Dec. 29 = (U.P9-- United States and Philippines forces, their tanks, guns and men in large measure off-setting the Jap- anese advantage of superior num- Der, have reorganized on strong river lines on the northern and southern Luzon fronts.
 Tn both north and south the de- fense forces had made strategic re- treats, withdrawing slowly from open positions to lines where they could better cancel the numerical superiority of the enemy.
 Here In the north, the Americans and Philippines were standing along the Agno river, S5 miles north of Manila, and in the south they were established on the north side of the Taiong river, 63 miles from the cap- ital.
 There was lull on this northern front yesterday. Apparently, the Japanese were forming for an at- tack on the Agno River line.
 The Filippino troops, under fire since the war started, were now sea- soned and fighting like veterans, bidding fair to rival their famous comrades, the Philippines Scouts. I Even during the retreat to this kline, tlaaSs Japanese adYap bees, had been slowed materially due to the efficient demolition work of the de- fense troops, under the supervision of army engineers, Major General Jonathan M. Wainwright, com- mander in chief in Northern LuEon, noted in Q Communique.
