New York To Los Angeles, 300 miles
west of here.
Miners heard the plane explode
with a thunderous roar. The flames
could be seen for miles.
O. E. Saylor purchasing agent at
the Blue Diamond lead mine, said
he heard the plane overhead a few
minutes after 1t left Las Vegas.
Then we heard an explosion and
saw the plane afire against the
MOUNTAIN" he said.
Could See Glow
Dan Houston, an employe at the
mine, didn't hear the crash but
joined onlookers five minutes later
and still could see the glow of fire
against the mountain.
TITS a steep hill and plenty high
and I doubt that anyone will climb
it in less than half a day he said.
Clark county peace officers re-
cruited Tweed Wilson, Septuagena-
rian Indian, to lead a party up the
mountain, Army officers ordered
trucks and "jeeps' into the area.
The scene of the crash was al
most inaccessible. A dozen horse
men and tractor were pressed into
service.

yesterday by several hundred candi-
dates in the auditorium of Wildly
High school. AS soon as test papers
are corrected, those eligible will be
given assignments.
Chief Air Raid Warden, describ-
ing the operations of local wardens,
said that zone wardens have been
interviewing various persons and as
signing them to specific tasks in
their localities. Rules and regula-
tons are being explained to resi-
derts by sector Wardens.
Chief Warden Curtin, observing
that 500 Identification cards for
civilian defense workers have been
received at police headquarters, said
that the cards will not be issued
until his staff is prepared to under
take the task. Considerable work Is
involved in their distribution, he
pointed out.
Defense workers must submit two
photographs, be finger printed, and
take the oath of allegiance before
cards are issued. Amateur and COM
mercial photographers are being APP
pealed to contribute their services.
One photographers, Hans Stockman,
has so far offered to take photos of
eligible persons, free of charge.
Those who will eventually receive
cards are certified active air raid
wardens, listening post volunteers,
district warning center workers, and
others engaged in civilian defense
activities.

Paraguay will do what Argentina
does. Peru was bargaining to the
best advantage.
There were 81 resolutions before
conference committees, but the one
calling for total break Of the
American nations with the Axis was
of transcendent Importance.
1t was presented to the conference
by delegates of Mexico, Columbia
and Venezuela, and was in three
parts. The first was the same as
the provision of the Havana resolu-
ton declaring that aggression
against all of them. The second said
that, therefore, the commendatory
course for the American nations
would be to break diplomatic, COM
mercial and economic ties with the
Axis. The third would provide for
concerted action by all the Americas
In re-estab-ishing relations.
The United States proposed a
hemisphere federal bureau of In
vestigation" to seize suspect aliens.
Committees were expected to
weed out many secondary resolu-
tons, and :, was believed that DEL
egations would withdraw some.
Informed sources said it could be
assumed that Axis agents were busy
"re-assuring" Latin American Re
publics, and trying to sabotage
Welles speech at the opening of the
conference, in which he said The
United States would continue to aid
her sister republics, and that the
United States had naval superiority

His supply lines run south to

Bataan, four miles across the north
channel of Manila Bay from Cor

He is expected to withdraw to
Corregidor if Japanese pressure OH
Bataan becomes too great.
Outside of these forces the Jap
anese appeared to be employing no
large scale bombardment feet

fortress. Apparently the bulk of
Japanese aviation has been shifted

81 Jap Ships Sunk
A compilation disclosed that
American warships, submarines and
planes have sunk an official total of
80 japanese ships since the war be-
gan, including 26 sunk by navy and
marine forces and six by army
bomberS. An almost equal number
have been reported damaged. United
nations forces are credited with al
most as many and the total sea
loss of the japanese Is now running
to figures which are bound to be
felt.
The immediate effect, however,
may not be great due to the huge
concentration of Japanese forces
for their southwest Pacific offensive.

of the presence of an individual
force of ships, concentrate a fleet
in strength.
AS Secretary Frank Knox recently
said, the Navy is waiting and will
carry the fight to the enemy when
it is ready to do SO.
1t Is necessarily a secret business
American policy is based on the
idea that 1t is best to keep the en-
envy guessing and waiting, for in
stance, for overdue submarines to
return. That Is one reason why it
cannot be said how many Japanese
submarines have been sent to the
bottom.
The Japanese will not be aided,
however, by the news that the de-
stroyer force, working closely with
patrol planes of the fleet, has &C
counted for its share of Japanese
submarines since the sneak attack
on Hawaii Dec. z.
Vigilance in the fleet could hardly
be intensified, but it was made
known today that allied forces
throughout the world, including the
mid-Pacific area, were taking extra
precautions against possible sur
prise Axis move, timed to coincide
with the current Pan-American
conference at Rio de Janeiro.
In connection with these precau-
tons, foreign broadcasts heard here
reported Japanese concentrations in
the Marshall islands, 2,40O miles
south of Hawaii.
Belief was, that if the Axis made
any move at the moment, it would
be intended to lower American
prestige in the Rio de Janeiro meet
ing, and that simultaneous Japan
ese and German thrusts might be
made.
From the Marshall islands, the
Japanese could strike at Midway,
Johnston or Palmyra islands or at
Samoa, south of Palmyra and nearly
5000 miles south Of Hawaii. They
might strike at Free French Tahiti
in the Society islands, 1880 miles
east of Samoa, which is In the
Panama Canal route to the far Pa
cific.

tute assemble on January %, at the
Drake hotel, Chicago, for the sec
ond annual meeting Of this new, in
dependent agency founded by bust
ness and civic leaders for research
and education in the field Of real
property.
Americas entrance into the var
has intensified planning for the
postwar period TO utilize national
energy released from defense pur-
poses TO take UP the slack in I'M
employment when war industries
slow down. National leaders in vari-
GUS fields concerned agree that
plans for such a gigantic program
should be made without delay to
be in readiness when needed.
Walter s. Schmidt, of Cincinnati,
Is president of the Institute. Ken
meth E. Rice and Herbert U. Mel
son, Chicago, are treasurer and sec
rotary. trustees include such we'll
known business and civic leaders as

BLAMES C. 0. P,
Sought Political Domino
ton By Opposing Presi+
dent in Program

U. S. Senator Francis T. Ma
loney, in campaign broadcast last
night on behalf of Democratic con-
greSsiona1 candidate John S. Mon
agan, charged that in the pre-war
period the Republican party, instead
of making Constructive and intelli-
gent criticism" gambled for "po-
litical domination" The Republican
claim In the district campaign, he
said. is that strong minority Is
needed in Congress, yet President
Roosevelt's steps for the defense of
the nation were greeted with
storm of ridicule and abuse"
In England, he said, winston
Churchill, then a member Of the op-
position, had warned against ap-
peasement and had made valuable
suggestions and criticisms.
Such a course was open to the
opposition leadership in this coun-
try" he said, "but instead they
played the dangerous game of plac-
ing the security of this country on
the gambling table as a stake in
the hope that a turn of the cards
would give to them political DOM
nation. They said, in effect, Pres
ident Roosevelt has decided that
this country is in danger. that we
must help our potential allies, that
we must prepare to defend ourselves
and that we must gain precious
time and they said, in effect. If
he is shown to be wrong we will be
the beneficiaries.'
I'VE must believe the men respon-
sible were unaware of our great
danger Even SO, the odds that they
offered are beyond belief. If, as
they hoped, Roosevelt was wrong,
their attintude would insure his de-
feat; If he were right, and their
attitude prevailed, their country
faced overwhelming disaster and
political success or failure became
utterly Insignificant"
Mr.. Monagan In a radio talk last
night, said that his campaign was
based on the premise that Demo-
cratic representation Is needed In
Congress to help carry out the
presidents policies. The Republi-
cans, he said, say the country needs
a strong minority but actually they
have engaged in partisan opposi-
ton. A strong majority party, he
said, cannot lead to dictatorship
since the nation enjoys free cleo
tons and the party in power can be
voted out by the people.
