Six Jap Planes Shot Down
Over Soerabaja; Subma-
rine Sinks Freighter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-B-
American fighter planes, striking
effectively in defense of Java, have
shot down six Japanese aircraft
over Soerabaja while in the China
sea a United States submarine has
sunk a 5,OOO-ton enemy cargo ship.
These successes were reported
late today in War and Navy de-
partment communicates, and aside
from their immediate effect on the
battle for the Dutch East Indies
appeared significant for two rea-
sons:
The War department said 16
army P40 pursuit planes took part
in the air fight with q Japanese
craft over Soerabaja, Dutch Naval
base. This was the largest number
of these craft yet reported in a
single action.
The Navy's report was the first
mentioning American submarine
activity in the China sea since a
communique of January 26 said a
submarine had torpedoed an enemy
aircraft carrier in the battle of
Macassar Strait.
One Plane Lost
One American airplane was lost
in the fight with rs Japanese heavy
bombers and two fighters which at
tackled Soerabaja in four waves,
but the pilot parachuted to safety.
The American shot down five
enemy bombers and one fighter.
Earlier the War department dis
closed that the Japanese have
brought flame throwers to Bataan
for use in their expected all-out
assault On General Douglas Mac
Arthur's army.
Macarthur advised, War de-
partment communique said, that
Filipino forces captured
several flame throwers along with
three pieces of enemy artillery and
a quantity of ordnance and signal
equipment in a local action.
1t was the first mention in
communique of flame throwers, the
weapon which the Nazis employed
with deadly effectiveness against
Frances Maginot line.
In the German technique, flame
throwers were used to drive the
defenders from the embrasures, or

Increase OF 20 Per Cent
In Pay Voted Men In
Foreign Service

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-lREIn
response to angry criticism from
all over the country, the Senate
voted tonight, rs to 5, to scrap
the pensions for congress" law
and then decided to give the ma.
tion's fighting men abroad a raise
in pay.
Exactly one month after it voted,
AZ to "a, to grantpension privileges
to members of Congress, the Presi-
dent, vice president and cabinet,
the chamber reversed itself in re-
sponse to widespread reaction that
included bundles for congress-"
movement and other barbed crit
icism.
Only five senators voted against
the repeater, which now goes to
a House which seems anxious to
approve it. The five mo- votes
were cast by Senators LaFollette
prog. Wis.,, Nye R.-N. D., Wall
gren .-Wash.), Clark D.-Idaho)
ana MEAD (D.-N. ".
Service Pay Raised
Soon after the vote, the cham
ber accepted suggestion from
Senator Clark D.-Mo.) and voted
for an increase of 20 per cent in
the base pay for enlisted men and
10 per cent for officers serving in
the Army and Navy in foreign
countries, and in Midway, Hawaii
and the Philippines.
This, explained Chairman Walsh
O.-Mass.) of the Senate Naval
committee, was in line with action
taken during the last World war.
This measure and the pension
repeater were all wrapped up in
bill continuing for one year the
pay Of civilian and military per-
sonnel captured or missing in con-
nection with the war. The whole
measure was sent to the House
for action.
After sharp fight, the chamber
slapped down, 49 to o. an attempt
by Senator Dowrey lD.-Calif) to
attach a repeater granting $50
a month pension to all citizens
over so who are certified by states
as needy individuals.
Downey presented his plan de-
spite opposing arguments, includ-
ing a warning by Senator George
O.-Ga.) that the people want no
wrangling over pensions for any
group at this time.
Before this war ends" he said,
"crepe will be on the door of a
million homes in America, and the
people know it,
Lets do/one thing at tlme,'

Camp Davis Payroll
Runs Million Month

In the last seven months of 1s41
the Finance office at Camp Davis
disbursed $12, 100000, of which ST.
100000 was paid to officers and
enlisted men stationed on the post,
the payroll running $1,000,000 per
month, according to a report COM
piled by Capt. A. G. Alexander,
Finance officer.
The seven months mentioned in
the report constitute the period in
1941 during which Camp Davis was
served by full-fledged Finance
office. From February until May,
1941, before the camp was fully
manned, there was only an agent
finance office on the post, not auth
priced to handle Offices pay and
purchases. Disbursements in those
four months amounted to $100, 900.
Pay of enlisted men was the
largest single item on Captain Al

Japanese Driven

RANGOON, Burma, Feb. 10.
-R-British Imperial troops
counter-attacking from the west
bank of the shallow and winding
Bilin river drove a new Japa-
nese assault force back into the
stream today in the heaviest of
fighting.
Both Japanese and British
paid heavily with lives - the
invader in trying to consolidate
a bridge-head across the stream;
the British fighting desperately
to hold them back in these dis
tant approaches to Rangoon.
Some Japanese shock troops
yesterday had crossed the Bilin
i'll small boats and fought their
way up the west bank in hand
to-hand combat, and the position
of these troops tonight was not
explained. Many of the boats,
however, were known to have
been broken up in mid-stream
by British artillery fire or scared
with machine-gun bullets. and
once ashore, the invaders met
the hottest fire.

PAY RAISE VOTED
FOR SERVICE men
Senate Would Pay Those
In Foreign Service 20
Per Cent More

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10 Up, -
The Senate voted unanimously to-
day for a 20 percent increase in
the base pay for enlisted men and
10 percent for officers serving in
the Army and Navy in foreign lands
and in the Philippines, Midway Is
land and Hawaii.
Then the Senate Immediately
passed by voice vote a House bill
providing continued pay for all
members OF the armed forces and
government civilian employees VINO
are reported missing or are in
enemy custody.
The base pay increase was pro-
posed by Senator Clark (D-Mo) as
an amendment 10 the House bill
He told the Senate a similar increase
was provided in World War l.
The increase would apply to ANY
enlisted man or warrant officer in
land, air or naval forces" and to
commissioned officers in those
forces ''for any period of service in
the Philippine Islands, Midway Is
land, Hawaii, or in any place out
side of the United States which Is
not a part of it's territories or pos
sessions
The measure thus would not ap-
ply to members of the armed forces
in continental United States, Alaska,
and Puerto Rico.
Base pay for the Army and Navy
ranges upward from $21 a month for
enlisted men. Commissioned Off
GERS base pay ranges from that OF
a second lieutenant, $120 month
The Senate Naval Affairs COM
nittee reported that the missing
persons" pay bill was necessary to
provide for dependents of persons In
enemy custody or whose where
abouts is undetermined.
Besides members of the armed
forces, the Senate was told, there
were many civilian employees of the
health service, geodetic survey, and
War and Navy departments who
were reported either missing or in
enemy custody in the Philippines.
The bill now goes back to the
Tb,use for action on the Senate
amendments.

JUDGE R0UNTREE
DIES THURSDAY
Funeral Services . Today
For Prominent LAWYER
And Jurist

Judge George Rountree, one of
the most prominent lawyers Of
North Carolina died at his home,
2 N. Eighteenth street, February
19 at 10:30 a. m. after a sickness
of about ten days. He was a former
judge of the Superior Court of
North Carolina; one of the founders
of the North Carolina Bar Associa-
ticn, and in 1906 was President of
that association. He was learned
man, charming of address, gener-
ally dignified, and of the strictest
integrity and easily among h e
most distinguished members of the
profession in the South. One North
Carolina historian properly defined
Judge Rountree as a man of fine
attainment and character and con-
structive deeds of achievements.
adding: tin business, politics, and
the law, the name Of Rountree has
been one of honorable distinction
in this region for a long period of
years.
Judge Rountree was born at Kin
ston, Lenoir County, July z, 1855.
His father, Robert Hart Rountree
was one Of the wealthiest business
men Of that secion, with interests
in North Carolina and New YORK,
and who provided every possible
educational opportunity for his son.
His early education was received
at private schools, and at seven
teen years of age, he entered Beth
any College Bethany, West Vir-
ginia. Judge Rountree remained at
Bethany one year and then matric-
ulated at Harvard University from
which he graduated in 1877, with
the degree of Bachelor of Arts
He studied law under Judge
George V. Strong, of Raleigh, and
was admitted to the practice of
law in the Lenoir County Superior
Court, 1878, but because of failing
health temporarily abandoned that
profession and engaged in business
for the next several years. Busi-
ness was uncongenial and, in 1882
he resumed his law practice, be-
coming associated with his uncle,
A. j. Loftin, under the firm name
of Loftin & Rountree. He continued
in this firm until 1890, when he
removed to Wilmington, then the
largest and busiest Hity in the
state, and promptly became one
of the leading members Of the New
Hanover County Bar. In 1899 he
became associated with ]. o. Carr,
former member of the legislature
from Duplin County, and a lawyer
of exceptional ability, under the
firm name of Rountree & Carr.
This partnership was destined to
become one of the most notable
and successful in the State. In 1913,
however, the partnership was in
terrupted by Governor Locke
Craig's appointment Of Judge
Rountree as a judge of the Super
ior Court and the following year
1914, he was reelected for the full
term of that position. Because the
judgeship entailed an almost con-
slant absence from home he re-
signed in 1916 and resumed his

Churchill Also Names Lyt-

OF Production
BY DREW MIDDLETON

LONDON, Friday, Feb. 20.
Stafford Cripps,
former ambassador to Mos
COW and a rising star in Brit
lsh politics, was named Lord
Privy Seal and House of Com
mons leader by Prime Minis
ter Winston Churchill today
in a cabinet reshuffle dictated
by parliamentary criticism
over Britain's recent military
reverses and by the approach
of vital spring offensives.
Oliver Lyttleton, known as
zone of Winston's bright
young men," was made minis
ter of state in charge of pro-
duction to supplant the dyna-
mic Lord Beaverbrook, who
declined to join the new war
cabinet on grounds of health.
Beaverbrook, w h o organized
Britain's aircraft and tank produc-
ton, will go to the United States
to carry on the task of pooling
the resources of the United States.
Lyttelton, who has been min
lister of state in the Middle East,
will join the war cabinet, reduced
from nine to seven members, and
will exercise general supervision
over production.
Replaces Attlee
Laborite Sir Stafford replaces
Clement Attlee as lord privy seal,
and will take the place of Church
ill himself in facing a House of
Commons which has shown in
creasing resentment over the fact
the prime minister has not shorn
himsef of some Of his portfolios.

The hold-overs who will direct
British strategy at a crucial mo-
ment in history include Prime
Minister Churchill, who remains
as defense minister and first lord
of the treasury, Attlee, Labor Min
lister Ernest Bevin, Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden, and the lord
president of the council, Sir John

Churchill disarmed his oppo-
