In the Far East crisis, the Jap- anese newspapers today again sizzled anew over the alleged "encirclement" of Japan by America Great Britain, China and the Dutch East Indies. New Japanese military maneuvers also increased the tension.
 Tn Chungking, the Chinese Army spokesman said 40 Japanese war ships, including an aircraft carrier with 45 planes aboard. has been spotted at Camranh Bay. on the southeast coast of French Indo- China, the potential springboard for attacks on Singapore. the Dutch East Indies or the Philippines.
 Building Air Base
 The Chinese spokesman also de- clared that secret service operatives also discovered the Japanese are hastily building an air base in west ern Indo-C China. near the Gulf of Siam, and impressed 5000 native workers on the job.

HardboiIed Legislation Wins Unexpected Ap-
 provdI by 251
SENATE MAY MODIFY
 DRASTIC PROVISIONS
Congressional Conference Committee 10 Work Out
 Agreement, Changes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Stamped with an unexpected House endorse ment of almost two to one, the hard boiled strike curbing bill today nov ed to the Senate where extensive modification appeared probable.
 Senate members predicted their chamber would relax the bills dras- tic terms and then let the Senate House Conference Committee work out some kind of agreement on the final scope of the legislation.
 The House rolled up vote of 251 to l36 in favor of the bill, written by Rep. Howard Smith. Virginia Democrat, without even considering some of the pending, middle of the road" measures.
 The Smith bill, admittedly subject to refinements in phrasing, provides for cooling-off periods ranging from 30 to 90 days in defense labor dis putes, during which time the Ma tional Defense Mediation Board is given statutory life and power to use it's good offices to prevent the strike.
 Tn addition. the bill as passed by the House forbids jurisdictionafboy colts and sympathy strikes to freeze existing closed or open shop ar engagements for the duration of the defense emergency. :.
 The bill will permit a defense strike only if the majority of the workers affected give their approval by secret vote.

NEWSPAPER
 SAYS A. E.F. pLAN5DRAWN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. = Presi- dential Secretary Stephen Early said today that the government will in vestigate the source or sources of an article in the Chicago Tribune which asserted that a confidential report by joint Army Navy Board called for an American expeditionary force of 5,000000 men for an offen- sive against Germany by July l 1943.
 When asked about the news article at his press conference, Early re- piled:
 All that can be said is that l have not talked with the President about the story and am in no posi- tion to confirm or deny it."
 The copyrighted Tribune story said the secret war plans were drawn in September in response to letter from the President to Sec retary of War Stimson in July The letter, according to the Tri- bune, asked Stimson and Navy Sec retary Knox to explore overall pro- duction requirements required to de- feat our potential enemies
 The Tribune story went on to say that the joint board report contem- plated total Army. Navy and Marine force of more than 10,000,0OO men would be necessary for the United States to enter the war and employ part of it's armed force of- fensively on the Eastern Atlantic, in Europe and Africa"

NAzI ARMIES HARDpRE55ED TWO SECTIONS.
Continue on Retreat from Ukraine-AIs Hit on
 African Sands
(By Associated Press)

Hitler's invasion armies, hard pressed on the sands of North Africa and in a headlong flung retreat in the Russian Ukraine, now face a new fight on their hands as Serb guer- illas are reported battling three Axis divisions in old Yugoslavia,
 At the same time, London broad cast reports fresh German troops have been rushed to points along Bulgaria's southern frontier on Tur- key to which nation President Roosevelt has extended American 1 lend and lease aid.
 Germans Step Up
 The London broadcast said the Nazi military preparations along the frontier has been stepped up and the Germans are tightening control on Bulgarian ports and air fields.
 Turkey Involved There is no immediate indication as to whether Germany fears the British ally, Turkey encouraged by Russia's sweeping counter offensive in the Ukraine, might open a new back door" front on the Balkans, or whether Hitler plans to move on Turkey himself.
 Guerillas Fighting
 A Serb communique, issued in Cairo, said the Germans have launched what appears to be a general ofefnsive raghinSt posi- .tions held by the unconquered guer- fila forces"
 Gen Mihailovic, guerilla leader, in communique also released from Cairo. said "Our forces are resist ing successfully in the face of fur iouS onslaughts, although in the Uzice sector, the enemy, by tank attacks, have obliged one of our units to withdraw"
 Wipe Out Conquerors Uzice is a battle-tOrn town of about 12,000 population and about 80 miles southeast of Belgrade. Ger man troops in Yugoslavia are esti- mated at about 75,000 men while Mihailovic is said to have 80,000 men all sworn to wipe out the Nazi conquerors.
 Berlin this morning, issued no statement concerning the Moscow front
 BERLIN, Oct. 4--German mili- tary dispatches said tonight that despite losses described as tremend- ous, the Red Army is still attacking in force on the West front around Rostov and in the Donets Basin, where yesterday the Russians claim ed they were throwing the Germans back in stiff counter attacks.
 The German troops are reported to be fighting back in defensive stand.
 Reports from the front state that Italian and Slovak units have been brought into the fight, and declare that the Russian advance is being stopped.
