Successes Claimed
By British in
Hong Kong Battle
Administrative Officials
And Civilians Reported
Joining in Fight
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 24.-Forced back
to Hong Kong's mountainous strong
holds British defenders Of the be-
sieged crown colony of the China
coast were reported tonight to have
won local successes In counter
thrusts against the Japanese on the
southern part of the island.
Reports which trickled out
through Hong Kong's crippled COM
munication facilities declared that
civilians and British administrative
officers were helping the defense by
holding out in armed stands at
isolated vantage points where re-
peated japanese onsets were re-
pulsed
~ Although competent observers
still gave the hard-pressed defenders
little chance of holding out unless
aid could be gotten through to them
one source pointed out that their
present positions probably are well
suited to their desperate stand.
Fight In Broken Terrain.
The British are fighting now, 1t was
said, in broken. mountainous ter
rain easier to defend against Japan
csc mechanical attack and afford
ing better cover from bombing and
sstraflng from the air.
: The japanese are reported In con-
'trol of the areas Of the island where
most OF the population lived.
Reports from the island said the
Japanese were keeping up their at
tacks with the support OF heavy
artillery fire which forced the British
back In the Repulse Bay section.
From their positions farther in
y toward the center OF the island the
s British still are counterattackina,
.inflicting heavy casualties on the
japanese, word from the colony said
/. In one such counterattack British
marines were said TO have won back
=. a position the Japanese had overrun
=. Monday night.
Conflicting Reports.
There were conflicting reports OF
the possible lessening Of pressure on
Hong Kong, which might be ex-
! pected from the Chinese offensive
toward the colonys mainland out
skirts across Victoria Harbor across
from the island,
Some Chinese sources said the
, Chinese attack had pushed the Jap
anese back close TO the northern
border OF the colony along the
Canton -Kowloon Railroad,
d. Reliable information reaching
Singapore from Chungking, how
ever, said the Chinese operations
we're on a relatively small scale and
probably could not have the ef1ecl
oi saving the British colony.
An ofnoiai statement from Chung
kng on operations In the Hens
K0ns area said today the Chlnese
had two attacks under way, one

Rumors Of Invasion
OF SpainAre Nazi
Ruse, London Says
Report Of Marshal Petoin's
Resignation Also Declared
To Lack Confirmation
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. IA Foreign
once commentator labeled rumors
of an impending German invasion
of Spain O Nazi ruse today and
said there was nothing to confirm
either such q move or report that
Marshal Petain had resigned as
French Chief OF State.
His statement came amid specu-
lation over Germany's next under
taking. spurred by Hitler's assump-
ton OF command Of the Nazi armies
and a Reuters report that Marshal
Petain had yielded his leadership to
Admiral Jean Darlan. Vice Pre-
mier, under intensified German
pressure, presumably to get French
North African base or for other
collaboration concessions.
The commentator said 1t seemed
evident that the Germans them
selves were spreading rumors OF
Nazi campaign in the Iberian Pen
insula probably with q view to
producing another OF those German
nerve wars with which we have be-
come so familiar"
He declared there Is no confirm
alton whatever Of these reports" and
said that any similar crop OF ru-
mors about an immediate Nazi
thrust against Turkey should be
treated with similar reserve.
Troops Reported on Move.
He put the report Of Marshal Pc
tain's replacement by Admiral Dar-
Ian In the same category and said
moreover, that II appeared TO have
been denied In Vichy. The Reuters
report. which came from some
where In Europe" was denied by
Vichy news agency, which quoted
authoritative sources as calling II
ridiculous.
