Attack
Begun
BY FRANK HEWLETT

MANILA. Dec. %. tUP)-Japan
launched a major drive in the Phil
lppineS invasion areas today as a
fleet of approximately 80 japanese
transports was sighted off the Gulf
of Lingayen, 1876 miles northwest
of Manila.
The Columbia BroadcaSting COM
pany'S correspondent in Manila
quoted the army high command that
the Japanese had initiated a strong
attack on the islands. and that
heavy fighting had developed.
EARLY today A fleet of 80
Japanese transports we're sighted
off the coast OF Lingayen gull,
which prompted u S. Army head
quarters to state undoubtedly a ma
ior eXpeditionary drive is aimed at
he Philippines, the correspondent
said.
t"Verification of the U. S. Army
high commands belief that a large
scale invasion by the enemy in this
area will be attempted, is intimated
in its report released a few hours
ago to the effect that this after
noon heavy fighting developed in
the north including tank combat" :"
he added.
COur troops more than held their
own. At one point japanese de-
stroyerS and transports were driven
back by our heavy guns and that
particular landing was prevented. ~
The japanese forces opened Their
offensive with attacks on the United
States-PhilippineS forces south of
Vigan, on the west coast of Luzon is
land. north of the gulf
Fighting, at first consisting mere
ly of patrol activities, was intensified
and then, as if by plan, the Japa-
nese in the Aparri sector at the
north end of the island attacked
fiercely.

Petroleum said only five were miss
ing from the Emidio, and survivors
arriving at Eureka confirmed this
number.
The navy made no announcement
of what it was doing to track down
the submarines, which it presumed
were japanese. Likewise there were
no indications what steps it might
be contemplating to protect coast
wise shipping which mas been oper-
ating without convoy. But in Wash
ington, Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox said, our naval forces have
already effectively dealt with sew
eral Japanese submarines"
Guarded by the Navy were details
of the fate of the Emidio. The last
official report was from the Coast
Guard that she was sighted nine
miles north of Cape Mendocino
riding low in the water" 1t was
believed she was III tow en- route to
all undiscloaed port.
Eight shells we're fired at the Ag%i-
world but all missed. Captain F. b,
Goncalves attributed his ships
escape to the heavy seas which
made the Japs' aim a little too
high"
IF we'd had a gun he said,
there might have been one less
submarine. All we had were two
pistols.
The submarine appeared sudden
~ out of the sunlight at 2:l5 Sat-
urday afternoon. She was 500 yards
to the west of US. She let go at
cnce with four shots from her deck
Gun-a five-incher. These shots
were fired from the almost point
blank range of 500 yards. They
missed because Of heavy seas.
She fired four more shots but
they were pretty wild. The first
shots. however, were so close they
splashed water on our deck
He said the tanker was broadside
To the submarine Wnen the first
shot was fired. He ran tQ1he bridge
and began series Of maneuVers to
escape First he swung the ship
directly toward the submarine, then.

swung it around to present its stern

SUB FOLLOWS
The sub didn't chase US into
port exactly, he sand, We zjg-Zag-
ged around, mareuvering always TO
present the smallest target possible.
The sub circled and lodged, trying
to get broadside of us again but
never succeeded AS we neared land
and the sub fired the last of its
eight shots it quickly submerged.
The engagement lasted about Ia
minutes
We were kicking off 50 much

Both the Emldlo and the Agwi-

into submission.
mo less than "a German and
Italian aircraft we're destroyed on

In the north, meanwhile, British
mobile columns were moving in for
the attack on Benghazi, main Axis
base on the coast to which REIN
forcements and equipment had been
shipped after the fall of Crete.
The momentum of the British
sweep indicated that the African
Imperial forces were determined TO
push westward to Tripoli and wipe
out the last remnants of the Axis
forces in Libya.
The push on Benghazi, general
headquarters said, was through and
south of the Jebel Ell Achdar area

British pressed back Axis forces

Hong Kong Heroes

LONDON, Dec. % CUP) - Cana
dlan. British and Indian troops held
out still at Hong Kong today in one
OF the most intrepid stands of the
war.
Sir Mark Young, the governor,
radioed that he had decided to re-
main at his post until he was taken
prisoner.
Nothing had been heard from
Hong Kong for "a hours until this
morning when the garrison. stand
ing off waves of attacking Japanese
shock troops with machine guns and
artillery, effected contact with
Chungking, the temporary Chinese
capital by radio.
In hourly messages after that up
to 1890 pm. Chungking time 80
pm. Sunday EST. Hong Kong re-
ported that it was resisting still,
and gave the word that the COVER
Eor would remain at his post.
NO HOPE SEEN
Military experts familiar with the
situation at Hong Kong held out no
hope that the little garrison would
be able to hold out long against
the overwhelming force of japanese
attacking by land, air and sea.
But it was believed here that the
Japanese were suffering enormous
casualties
1t was known that the defenses
had been prepared SO the japanese
would not know until they landed
on Hong Kong island just what they
were up against.
LAND MINES READY
Every point at which the Japanese
could land was SoWn thickly with
land mines and around each such
landing place were barbed wire en-
tanglements. Trained on the entan-
clements were machine guns in pill
boxes and field and fixed artillery
batteries, and behind these defense
lines, back to the last strong points,
were Succ ,ssive mine fields.

JAPAN WELCOMED

In fact, the most hopeful note in
the proclamation was his reference
to the good fortune" of Germany
and Italy in getting Japan as an
ally. The achievements Of Japan
in the Far East, he said, indicates
that the war is now entering a
new phase favorable to US"
With regard to the difficulty Of
the task, Hitler referred to the size
of the front which today spans the
whole continent and reaches to
north Africa" Its protection, he
added, must DE increased, from Nor
way to the Spanish border.
There is nothing in this to indi-
cate that Hitler plans to open new
front. as has been predicted, or that
he expects in the immediate future
to smash through Spain into north
Africa or through Turkey into the
Middle East. Instead, he seemed to
suggest winter Of preparation for
immediate resumption Of offensive
fighting in the spring.
MAY HOLD SURPRISE
Hitler, of course, may neverthe-
less spring some earlier surprise
elsewhere than in Russia. The pat
tern of the Russian campaign for
the next few months appears to
have been laid down. However,
things are going bad for the axis
IN north Africa. There still is the
possibility that as desperate meas
ure, Hitler will force France to
permit the use of her fleet and
African bases to turn the tide OF
battle.
The Vichy government may be
expected to resist such a demand
bitterly, but France is diSarmed and
helpless. Armed resistance might
come from the colonial troops, but
its extent is uncertain.
AS for Turkey. an attack on that
country might involve hard mill
tary campaign. The one thing that
could impel Hitler to attempt it is
his need for oil. No one on the out
side knows the exact state OF the
Reich's oil resuorces, but some ex-
peTS nave ehpI cSStO SldNc oOuOt
that there is enough for more than
another year Of fighting on the
present scale in Russia and Africa
From the long range view, assum-
ing that he cannot win within
year, Hitler may be compelled to
take steps He obviously had expect
ed to crush Russia last summer and
get his hands on most Of her re-
sources. including oil Russia's un
expected strength upset his calcula-
tions 1t is improbable that he Wi
make the same mistake twice.
In taxing over the army, Hitle
adopted a bold course-even a risk
one if the generals don't stand b

II have all the education I need

spell a little and that's enough for
me-" These were the words of a
new conner to Omaha when told of
Adult Opportunity Glasses. At,
first glance this appears to be
merely a naive statement by an
ignorant person. But the spirit
of the idea seems to influence
many of our young people who
have finished high school or those
who are yet attending school.
We do not wish to be like Pol
lyanna and believe that every
thing is well and good. We must
admit the facts. 1t is true that
Negroes have been and yet suffer
discrimination in almost every
trade or profession. This is sur
ely very undemocratic. But CIV
ing up in despair is not the solu-
ton to our problems.
While we fight for a place in a
real democratic world, we must
constantly study and prepare our
selves for the realization of oul
hopes. The time has come when
women are required to be trained
for maid service and common lab.
orers are expected to be literate
If the Negroes expect to survive
as a race, they must intelligently
J fight for their opportunities, but
they must also be prepared to use
them when they materialize.
We do not hurt the other race!
by our willful ignorance and iniiF'
ference. We merely give .hs:T
the excuse to set us aside and in
