Withdrawal From KowIoon
Possible, British Soy

LONDON, Dec. 13 LP.-British
officials said today that troops de-
Tending Hong Kong may have with
drawn from Kowloon Peninsula to
positions within the island Of Hong
Kong itself, and reports on the
fighting in that vital South China
area were obscure.
Authorities refused to comment on
the announcement of the Japanese
Ambassador in Buenos Aires that
Hong Kong had been captured.
They suggested it could have arisen
from a Toxic announcement that
KoWloon had fallen.
The British crown colony extends
20 miles to the north on the main
land, embracing Kowloon Peninsula.
It was not clear whether a Japanese
announcement that Kowloon had
been taken applied to the peninsula
as a whole or to the city of Kowloon
on its southern tip.
A dispatch from Chungking said
Chinese forces attempting to relieve
the beleaguered British colony had
captured Senchuan, Stragetically
important point north of Hong
Kong. Senchuan was not located
specifically, but was believed to be
between Hong Kong and Canton,
which the Chinese bombed yes
terday.

1t Is believed our losses were slight.
Some Japanese planes were de-
stroyed, including one shot down by
anti-aircraft battery of the harbor
defenses, but the number Is so far
undetermined. The situation on the
ground has not changed. hopping
up Of the Lingayen area has been
concluded.
Second Landing Attempt.
An official statement Thursday
said the situation at Lingayen was
under control" after the first Jap
aneSe landing Wednesday. On Fri
day, however, it was disclosed that
the Japanese were attempting to de-
velop second attack there.
Aside from mention that the situ-
alton was unchanged there was no
official word on progress of fighting
in the Aparri region of Northern
Luzon, where Japanese first landed
Monday and apparently have main
tained a small force.
An official broadcast in Toxic
early yesterday declared that jap
aneSe forces were advancing from
Luzon landings, urging the Fill
pinos to revolt.
First air attacks on the Philippines
yesterday were in the early morning.
The II am. communique reported:
I'm the air the enemy have bombed
Cebu and Clark Field On the ground,
only sporadic and unimportant ac-
tivity."
Cebu is on an island of the same
name $50 miles southeast of Manila.
Clark Field, along with Nichols
Field, is part of the Manila defense
system.

Jops Claim Air Dominance
Over Far East British

BERN, Switzerland, Dec. 13 (P.-
D.N.B. said the Japanese claimed
air dominance over Britain in the
Far East in a communique today
from the army section of imperial
headquarters. The communique
said:
THE strength of British aviation
in the Far East has been destroyed
in combats for Malaga and the
supremacy of Japanese aviation has
been established in Malayan terri
tory.
"One hundred twenty-nine Brit
ish planes have been downed or
destroyed on the ground. More
over, an enemy transport has been
sunk. Four transports have been
seriously damaged. Several hun

spared, and then for several blocks
virtually every house on both sides
of the road was either burned,
smashed or ripped apart.
A Chinese, who had watched
japanese bombing for several years
in China, attributed the inaccuracy
to intense anti-aircraft fire.
The clouds forced yesterdays
raiders to their lowest bombing
height since they began attacking
the Philippines. Although ground
gunners quickly got their range. the
japanese maintained their perfect
formation.
The Philippine constabulary said
three time bombs had been found
in Caloogan, a Manila suburb,
where they presumably had been
dropped by the raiders.
Twenty more fifth columnists,
mostly nationahstic Sakdalistas,
were taken into custody.

Ground troops were credited
ofncially with having disposed OF
the Japanese force which landed in
the Lingayen area some ITO miles
north of Manila, within striking
distance Of the capital. Lingayen

Gulf, the most sheltered spot on the
west side Of Luzon with the excep-
tion Of Manila Bay itself.

Pasadena officials, called at once.
Indicated they would comply with

Hopes for Precedent.
Gov. Olson expressed the belief
that. the action regarding the Rose
Bowl game would set a precedent
for other scheduled holiday season

This would mean probable can

Governor said.
Advised of the situation, Henry
Boyen, potentate of Islam Temple

that no one had asked to have the

IF such a request is received,
we'll of course turn it over imme-

The congestion of the State high

to this tournament and football

their use in defense work: the con-
centration there of q large police
force, now needed for defense serv-
ices; the unusually large gathering
of people, known to the enemy, ex-
posing them to the dangers now
threatening, requires that plans for
the holding of this tournament and
