Mrs. Bradley said that up to now
only 1000 registrations have been
issued to car owners as compared
to 3,000> for the same period last
year. Approximately 10000 cars will
be registered this year. With two
more weeks to obtain renewals, the
motor vehicles manager pointed out
that $4,000 registrations may be
issued.
Mrs. Bradley stated that COM
bination plates for this year must
not be disposed of as they are now
permanent plates, and when regis
trations are applied for, inserts
will be given. They are in the same
category as the passenger cars.
She pointed out that those who
discard combination markers will
have to buy new ones.
On March /, motorists must dis
play the 1912 markers or they will
be penalized. Registrations this year
will be about the same as pre-
viously, Mrs. Bradley thinks, as the
rationing of tires and cars will not
affect the numbers greatly.
The registration period for farm
vehicles has been extended up to
and including March Is, Motor
Vehicles Commissioner John r. Nc
Carthy announced today.
1t was necessary to postpone the
expiration date on farm regiStra-
tons because of the difficulty the
plate manufacturers have had in
obtaining steel. The use of the per-
manent aluminium plate was never
extended to this type of registra-
ton.
This Is the first time In Is years
that 1t has been necessary for the
department. to grant an extension
Of time on any type Of registra-
ton, Commissioner Mccarthy point
ed out.
He emphasized the fact that the
extension does not apply to any
type of marker other than that is
sued for farm vehicles. All other
automobile registrations expire at
midnight, February %.

pointed out that such an effort
would call for running the blockade
of Japanese naval and air forces
now operating around the Philip
pines.
Possible supply lines from The
United States, Australia and the
Dutch Indies have been made haz-
ardous, if not untenable, by jap
anese successes at Guam, Wake,
New Guinea, the Celebes Islands,
Borneo, the Malayan Peninsula, and
Hong Kong.
Experts admitted that the jap
anese blockade was not alright
but added that any attempt to break
through it would call for major
naval action. With the navy spread
over the Atlantic and Pacific, they
doubted that the possibility OF an
all out" naval battle would be rlsked
by the high command.
The possibility of reinforcing Mac
Arthur by air has been eliminated
because of his lack Of air fields to
accommodate the large planes that
could do such a job. In addition, big
bombers that have the range to fly
from Dutch Indies fields to the
Philippines would require escorts Of
fighter planes and they do not have
sufficient flying range to go SO far.
Despite the apparent hopelessness
of getting aid to the Philippines for
the present, MacArthur's men held
on with no indication OF being dis
heartened by the grim prospect OF
having to ''go it alone"
They are established along a line
about half way up Bataan PENN
sula with the right wing anchored
in the rea of Pillar, an important
highway junction, on the Manila
Bay side, and at a point approx
mately directly westward on the
China sea. They are bolstered by
the island fortress of Corregidor and
| three minor strongholds guarding
Manila Bay to the rear.

of enemy dive bombers pounding
American lines, and Japanese pa
trolls undertaking aggressive action
presumably as part Of the effort tc
wear down the defenders and ferret
out information on their strength.
The Japanese, under command OF
Lieut.. Gen. Masaharu Homma, have
been reinforcing steadily, and have
more than 100000 troops on the
Island of Luzon, more than half OF
whom are on Bataan Peninsula. The
communique yesterday said our an
ti-aircraft batteries downed two
Japanese dive bombers, and thai
Japanese pilots mistakenly machine
gunned and bombed their OWL
troops with heavy losses.

But under cover of darkness he left
his tank and walked back to check
up on the Japanese tanks.
He inspected one which had had
the misfortune to get in the line Of
fire of three American tanks at once
at a street intersection.
AS the result of the fight Gentry
believes American tanks are far SUI
perior to Japanese tanks. They are
faster, their armor is better and
they are more maneuverable, he
said.
Further, Gentry reported, the
Japanese tanks he met apparently
were able to fire only from the from;
SO it was easy to knock them out
by side attack.
I'D like to see the tanks lead
an immediate drive out of Bataan, ~
he said. Most Of us tank men be-
lieve that one of our battalions
could break through the Japanese
lines and fight their way north
faster than we retreate6."
Though the American Expedition
airy Force used tanks in the last
war, tank men said this was the first

Alexandria's fifth and sixth wards
will have additional polling precincts

wards to begin studies of the plan.
The action was in response to a

to State election laws requiring an
election district for each 1000

of whom have spent considerable
sums remodeling the old houses on
the block.
Judge Prentice Burlington. spokes-
man for the group. said the ordi-
nance requiring posting OF placards
