Guerrilla Leader Maps
New Front Against laps

CHUNGKING, China, Dec. 90
Detailed plans for the opening OF a
new front against the Japanese have
been brought here by Gen. Chao-kai,
a guerilla leader who has been &C
lively prosecuting anti-Japanese re-
sistance in the northeastern prov
inces for the last six years.
Gen. Chao-kai, a frequent visitor
to Russia, said he intended to submit
his plan Immediately to General
issimo Chang Kai-shek.
He conferred here yesterday with
Brig. Gen. John Magruder, United
States military mission leader; Mai.
Gen. L. E. Dennys, head of a British
military mission, and Owen Latti-
more, political adviser to Gen.
Chang.
He said his plan could be put into
operation If the anti-Japanese forces
would supply funds for arms, am
munition and other supplies and
added that such aid was a matter
Of diplomatic arrangement among
the Allies, including Russia.

Move on Timor Assai|ed
By Premier Of Portuqa!
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LISBON, Dec. 20.-Australian and
Dutch troops marched into Portu-
guese Timor when there was no
reason to consider that an attack
by the Japanese was probable" and
while Portugal was discussing plans
with Britain for the islands defense,
Premier Antonio de Oliveira Salazar
told Parliament yesterday.
THE situation is not settled yet"
he said. Discussions still are going
on. I shall disclose later the further
developments"
Crowds damned the streets out
side Parliament in expectation that
Premier Salazar might announce a
change in foreign policy, but the
Premier gave no such indication.
He asserted that Portugal, as a
acknowledgement ally, had agreed to
study cooperation with Britain in
defending Timor, which Is $50 miles
of the Australian coast, and that
the suggestions for such collabora-
ton had been made as long ago as
November 4.

and has visited some rs American
cities explaining London's freight
ing technique. Before he had left,
Mr.. wal had gone through that ctty's
greatest fires.
Trained in so Hours.
He spoke highly of the auxiliary
firemen, both men and women, who
stuck to their jobs through the worst
Of it. Some time they would work
for IA hours at a time, without any
relief" he commented. Auxiliarists,
he said, underwent 60-hour train
ing course, and when war was de-
clared the city's fire-fighting force
was ready for any emergency.
To provide realistic touch to the
auxiliarists' training, authorities
would fire a building scheduled to
be demolished and the volunteers
would get their first smell of fire."
Mr.. Ival said.
Women played an important part,
too. he pointed out, acting as drivers
of messenger cars. telegraphers and
servers of refreshments to fire fight
ers. They often were assigned to
fire stations to handle communica-
tons, he said.
Dared Repeater Attack.
"A fire is a good target and the
enemy usually returns, drawn like
moths to a candle" Commissioner
Iva remarked. But despite the dan
gers of second attack, men and
women stick to their jobs"
Stressing the importance Of emer-
gency water supplies, he said that
authorities before the war had sur
veyed every lake. pool and pond for
possible use. In addition numerous
5,000-gallon reservoirs were erected
in many parts of London.
The fact the city went eight
months from the outbreak of war
without raid only gave officials
that much more time to perfect
their fire-fighting system, Mr.. wal
pointed out. And when they finally
did come. we were ready" The city's
fire facilities were increased tenfold
over peacetime equipment, he
added.
The British government recon-
mends two methods OF combating
incendiary bombs, he said. They are
fine spray of water or sand. But
don't stand right over the bomb, or
1t will be the last time you ever tried
to put one out" he said.
