 While touring Alaskas defenses three months ago this correspondent found Kodiak O teeming worShop. A great naval establishment was be. tng rushed to completion.
 Kodiak, often considered the key Co the entire Alaskan defense sys- tenn, is 6 sprawling strip Of wooded mountain land about 100 miles long and 50 miles wide. Its shores are sheer, rocky and inhospitable ex- cept for two or three bays which afford a deep and shelter anchor age from the Pacific swellS.
 Alr, Submarine Base
 Wonen's Bay, ct the western end oa tho island, leads to the air and submarine base which the navy has neen building for the last two years mt a cost of more than $40000, 900. Tae base is sheltered by Q rocky promcntory on one side and Q shaggy mountain wall at the rear,
 Ak the other end of the Island as the village of Kodiak, until 1889 q sleepy town of 500 persons, but now c boom twn of more than B. OOO. Kodiak Is known principally e a salmon fishing center and teh habitat of the great brown Kodiak bear.
 Authorities for months have exer- cised the greatest vigilance in keep. ang strangers away from the air and naval bases. A spray of machine gun bullets greet any civilian craft which coasted into the naval har- Dor.
 Kodiak island is 200 miles south west of the mainland port of Seward, Alaska, which in turn is the yailhead for the great army air base at Anchorage.
 The navy now has three fairly well equipped air bases in the Alaskan area. They are ct sitka, an southern Alaska; Dutch Harbor, on Unalaska island, one of the Aieutian chain and Kodiak.
 First Military Army
 Dutch Harbor is about 700 miles West of Kadtak and represents the first of Americas military arms in ghe north Pacific. Kodiak. in case else United States launched an of- fenslVe from Dutch Harbor, might he the supply base.
 The shortest sea route from Asia so the united States passes close to khe Aleutian chain. Large-scale military operations in the winter would De difficult because of the heavy fog and the cold. An S0- mlle nn hour wind blowing out of tlae Arctic is not uncommon in the winter months.

 The "all-cleaT" signal, three long blasts of the sirens, sounded at 7:5o D. m., 14 minutes after the warning, and in that time nearly 1,OOO,0 900 persons had their first cx- perience with the simulated con- ditions of an actual air raid.

 Little damage was done in any of the raids, the coln1nunique asserted, and one Japanese plane was shot down by c machine gunner.
 Unable to attack the Japanese in force, the British empire troops opened their offensive operations by means of patrols, which struck at the Japanese ell along the line, the communique said.
 Pressure Diminished
 It was noted that Japanese pres- sure on the Perak line had been di- rliiished.
 On the East Malaga coast, empire patrols were fighting heavily against Japanese orces which approached from the direction of TrenggaHlu, 275 miles north of Singapore.
 British planes made 6 raid on Jap- anese occupied airdrornes, the com. munique said.
 Malaya was put under martial law today, by decree of Lieut.. Gen. A. B. Percival, general of command in Malaya.
 The decree, designed to strengthen the civil aIt hority, defined numer- ouS offenses which in future may be trid by courts martial. Administra- tion of martial law was put in the hands of local area commanders. They may order curfews in their Jurisdiction, close roads and take other safety measures.

WAR BUDGET OF
 $52,OOO, O,OOO,OOO
(continued from Page D

(Contlnued from Page D
 thau, Jr. MT. Roosevelt promised at his press conference yesterday that non-dofsTlse spending would be re- duced. But few here believe 1t can or will be cut by aS much as S3,000,o o00,000.
 sSO,OOO,OOO,OOO Budget
 Therefore, on the basis of 6 ESQ., GOO, 100000 war budget plus somes thing for other governmental costs in the next fiscal year, the 12- month bill to present and future taxpayers will be approximately GS3, ,OO O,00O00O. That compares with approximately 900,O0O, 100000 which has been spent by the Roosevelt ad- Hnlnistrations since June 30, 1888, which was the beginning of the first fiscal year aftre Herbert c. Hoover left ofiice.
 Plans for the next fiscal year dwarf those for the present fiscal period which looked pretty large when they were unfolded to the public last January. At that time MT. Roosevelt estimated that in the current fiscal year he would spend $17, ,4e5 100000, of which 9l0,e1l,- 100000 would be for national de. fense. That program was expanded last June to an overall expenditure of 422, ,16D, ,000, 900 of which 916,6OO,- 100000 was for national defense. l eV1ataAtvaor t0 SavsaaaaAaaes ak aSaSAoaasl mately that rate on the basis of re- turns for the first six months of the fiscal year, which are as follows:
 Expenditures, 9lI, ,242 600 ,O0o: rec ceipts, &4,123 100000 net deficit, SO far, $7,040, ,0O0, 900. Of the expendl. lures so far in this fiscal year, o.. 991 900, 900 has been for national defense or war. Spending in the next fiscal year will more than double the present rate which Is now around $2,OO0, 100000 6 month.
 Going Co Congress
 The budget will go to Congress next week. A joint resolution passed which is Monday, the converting of yesterday postpones until Jan. s, the new Congress. Mir. Roosevelt said he supposed he would go to Congress on Jan. 6 or 2 to deliver in person his annual message on the state of the union. The budget mes- sage will be read by clerk on the following day.
 The House ways and means corn- mittee is scheduled to begin con- sldering a new tax bill Jan. l5. Cur rent estimates are that 1t will call for between es,00O ,OO0.00O and @l0,- 0oO, 900 900 in new taxes-hardly 6 drop in the bucket compared with the projected spending program.
 MT. Roosevelt explained to press conference questioners yesterday that the spending program does not mean 100 per cent curtallment of production for civilian purposes. MsithsF. he said. did cu2tailmenk og uOn~deGunHs expenditures mean that such Items as Felief would ho ellm- mated

 Kozloy, commander of Caucasian troops, and Vice Admiral ?. s. ok tiabrsky, commander Of the Black Sea fleet, stain said:
 T congratulate you upon your victory over the enemy and libera- ton of the town and fortress of Kerch and the town of Feodosiya from the German Fascist invaders"
 His congratulatlons also went to "the valiant troops of General Per- vushln and General Lvov and the glorious sealIlen Of the group of war; ships of Captain of First Rrank Basisty!, who laid the beginning of the liberation of the Soviet Crimea." |"
 Russia communlques said the Caucasian forces landed on the Crimean coast Dec. 20.30 in cooper atlon with naval forces of the Red Banner Black Sea fleet.
 Kerch and Feodosiya were oc. cupled "after stubborn fighting" The attack completely smashed German occupatino forces, sending them Into headlong flight westward. Rus- sian troops were pursuing the re. treating Germans and already had captured undetermined rich tro- phies."
 The move seemed certain to give Sevastopol, under fierce NaA at. tack more than two months, some relief and might lead to the lifting of the siege if the Soviet forces con- tinue westward acros sthe difficult mountain terrain.
 Caucasus Gateway
 Kerch, CriInean gateway to the Caucasus and its rich oil fields was captured six weeks ago by the Ger mans at the height of their east ward advance. At that time, the Nazis described Kerch as "a naval base equal to none" and said the city and its fortresses were an im- portant key to the Caucasus situa- ton.
 Elsewhere on the 1,O0O-mile front, the Russian offensive drove new wedges into fluid German defense lines. Nazis retreated in panic when strong Red army units forged across the Oka river on the South- western Moscow front between Ka- luga and Orel. The enemy was dis lodged from several localities.
 Pushing westward from Tula, the Red army occupied the towns of Kozelsk and Lugorsk-zavod, com- muniQue said. It claimed enemy resistance was being broken in "all sectors.

 The bishop sent Q message to Car- { ainnl Dougherty of Philadelphia, in which he said: ''NGy host and I are Well, thank God"
 But news from the fighting front already had indicated the gravity 1 eiae situation.
 Over Their Own Dead
 EneEny dive-bombers sweeping along the Luzon highways, enemy tanks and infantry advancing over piles ok their own dead north and south of the capital and enemy planes that apparently failed in an effort to blast Corregidor fortress in Manila Bay seemed to be throwing every ounce of power into the as- sault.
 American and Filipino defenders were fighting back with tremendous courage and inflicting heavy casual ties on the Japanese, but one report relayed by the pro-Axis Vichy radio claimed that the invaders had ad- vanced to within four miles of Manila.
 The defenders of the Philippines were writing an epic chapter in the story of bitter year of worldwide conflict and there seemed to be lit- tic question that the battle would go on even if Manila were taken.
 Tn the hills and valleys of Luzon and on the countless islands off the Philippines -- wher Gen. Emilio AgJlinaldo at the turn of the cen- tury carried on furious guerrilla war-the fight against the invader was expected to 90 on indefinitely. The exact battle positions today uncertain due partly to the fluid nature of the front and partly to communications problems.
 The Japanese had thrown huge achievements into offensives from the north and southeast, sweeping across the Pampagna plains north of Manila to within 40 miles of the capital yesterday and driving up along wide highways from the southeast to within 90 miles of their goal.
 Paid for Every Mile
 They paid heavily for every mile they advanced but overwhelming numbers gradually pushed back the defending forces under Gen. Doug las MacArthur, which took up new positions during yesterday on a line hinged on Mt. Maquiling and ex- tending along the border of Taya. bas and Batangas provinces.
 Thereafter the lines became con- stantly more fluid and e Tokyo broadcast expressed belief that Ma nila would be taken within the next few days.
 The broadcast also indicated that during Mondays two-hour air at- tack on Corregidor fortress, the Japanese had vainly attempted to assault the island by sea. They claimed that one American destroy. or he'd been sunk as we'll as two pa. trol Ships and three large vessels.
