Asked if his statement meant
he personally, would defend the
banned magazine, he snapped:

invitation. You wouldn't 60

Representing the Social Justice
Publishing Company and Coughlin,
Atty Prewitt Semmes warned
that well fight this thing through
every court in the country"
Explaining that he had received
no official notice of the order,
Semmes uestioned whether
Coughlin could be compelled to
attend the Washington hearing.
Biddle cited several excerpts
from Social Justice which he
termed "seditious.' Among them
we're the following, all printed in
the magazine since the attack on
Pearl Harbor:
December Is. 1941: "The IA
nous words-'We planned It
that way'-u by Mr..
Roosevelt, are as applicable to
our participation in this World
War as to anything he has ac-
complished during his three
terms as President"

Geneva convention of 1929, which
assures humane treatment for pris-

Gas $! Reported Used
By Japanese Troops
In Kota Bharu Area
kipponese Bridge Builders
Precede Army to Repair
Spans British Destroy
BY HARRY A. STANDISH,

ny xIA1NxtA hANDAoAAS
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and
North American Newspaper Alliance.
SINGAPORE, Jan. 15.-The use
OF an irritant gas-possibly mustard
by the japanese in the Kota
Bharu area was reported here Tues
day by q senior ofncer OF British
troops in that sector. -- ~
He said that only one unit OF
indian troops had encountered the
gas which caused burns where it
touched the skin.
The commander Of British forces
In the Kota Bharu area said the
railway bridge at Sungei Golak, on
the border of Malaga and Thailand,
was effectively bombed by the Royal
Air Force. AS far as he. knew. the
Japs sent no troops into the Kota
Bharu area from Thailand but were
content to land them from ships on
two beaches. s|<- r.,

Japanese prisoners taken in this
zone proved extremely talkative.
One reported that he had spent
seven days on transport and had
q very hard time OF it. He COM
planned about the rations brought
ashore and said they consisted Of
only small supply Of rice. After
landing, Japanese troops marched
% miles between 10 pm. and 8 am.
and then went into action, the pris-
oner said. ..
Reports reaching here from West
ern Malaga yesterday said the
japanese have heavy trucks carry
ing bridge-building material in the
van of their troops. Prisoners and
local inhabitants are obliged to re-
pair bridges blown up by British
forces before they withdraw.
This report was brought back by
an Indian commissioned officer
who showed great resourcefulness
In rejoining British troops after he
was cut off north of the Slim River.
BY swimming and walking at night
and hiding with other Indians in
the daytime, the officer made his
way south.
He purchased Malay clothes and
dressed in them. He was stopped
and questioned by japanese soldiers,
but they released him after taking
q wrist watch and $50. Liv-
on the country, he finally reached
Kuala Lumpur, where he saw a
Japanese soldier park his bicycle
In front of a store. : The officer
stole the bicycle and rode of.
Return Through Jap Lines.
A total OF about 40 Indian and
British soldiers have succeeded IN
making their way through the
japanese lines. 1t is expected that
large number Of other troops,
cut off north of the Slim River,
eventually will succeed in making
their way back by land or along
the sea coast.
One OF the many stories OF gal
iantry In action being told now for
the first time is about a colonel
who was supervising evacuation OF
troops from the Kuantan airport
when the Japanese broke through
the covering forces and, came right
up to the demolition squads. In
the resulting melee the colonel re-
ceived two bayonet wounds in the
body. Fortunately they were not

VALLETTA, Malta, Jan. Is
While there Is speculation abroad
that Malta is due for an all-out Axis
assault, the devout people OF this
self-contained stronghold only 60
miles from the bomber nests in Sic
lily are confident that their patron,
St. Paul. still protects his island.
Malta has II alerts-s record-tn

when the banging of the big anti
aircraft guns indicates that raiders
from Sicily again actually are over

the women with young children
have gone ahead.

population sleeps in the shelters

combs which have been constantly
enlarged and improved since the
raiding began.
Thus far the damage from bombs,
which have been dropped during at
least so per cent of the raids, has
been slight.
This supports the belief of the pop
uIace that st. Paul. who reputedly
was shipwrecked here, has this little
island under his protection.

stantly alert to meet and repel any

counterattack during which he
killed six Japanese with his re-
volver.
He covered the departure Of two
of his platoons and then jumped on
a Bren gun carrier and pursued the
fleeing Japs, while other British
troops Withdrew. The colonel re-
ceived two more wounds In the arm

such a man as Hitler is only to
encourage him to further afro
cities and you may be assured
no weakness will be shown"
Churchill's statement followed
weekend session of the war
cabinet which reviewed the
shacklings, started by the Ger
mans in a reprisal for alleged
lettering of German prisoners
captured during the Aug. 19 raid
on Dieppe. The British retaliated
Saturday.
Giving a thumbnail sketch of
the war situation, Churchill
said:
"U-boat warfare still remains
the greatest problem of the
United Nations but there is no
reason whatever why it should
not be solved by prodigious
measures of offense and defense
and of replacement on which
Britain and Canada, and above
all the United States, are now
engaged"
1.-THE months of August. and
September have been, l will not
say the best, but the least bad
months since January" the
Prime Minister said.
These months have seen the
new building of merchant ships
which substantially outweigh
the losses. They have seen the
greatest tonnage of British
bombs dropped upon Germany.
They have covered the most
numerous safe arrivals of United
States troops in the British Isles.
"They have marked the def
mite growth of allied air super
iority over Germany, Italy and
Japan.
1T is not my habit to encour-
age lightly-found expectations,
but these are solid and remark
able facts"

The U.boats were said to have

darkness, but they were met by
depth charges and deck-gun fire
and even daring charges IN
which the corvettes, in battle
action for the first time, tried

The Admiralty said the night

criss-cross of calcium flares,

ern shores Of Guadalcanal. Earl
Ter landings-on q small scale
but with disturbing frequency
were made on the southern
shores.
The japanese are now riskinS
sizeable naval forces to cover
their greatly intensified landing
operations. Between Oct. s and
8, three enemy warships thus
engaged were hit by American
torpedo planes and dive bomb
ers. Those included a destroyer
which was sunk, another which
was damaged and a 7,000-ton
Kako class cruiser, which was
left burning.
Despite that resistance by
American airmen-and they SO
far appear to be the only oppo-
sition to enemy naval forces in
the Solomons-the Japanese are
getting reinforcements ashore.
USE TRANSPORTS
Although Navy communicates
have failed to mention it, the
Japanese apparently now NOV
ing transports to convey their
troops to the island. That was
indicated by the Nays state
ment that enemy naval forces
attacked by American planes
were engaged in covering"
landing operation. Thus, it ap-
pears that large scale land bat
tie is in the making.
Nothing has been said here
about American preparations to
meet the new threat. Neverthe-

that the Japanese are in for the

Marines to hold their toehold In
the Solomons. And, the Marines
just don't give up.

Death Claims
Matt baunlan
Rites Wednesday
for Businessmen

Mount Clemens will pay its
final respects Wednesday morn
ing, to Matthias Matt" Bauman,
"a, who died at 900 p. m. last |
night at his home, IA Stapleton,
after an illness of several
months.
Until his retirement two years
ago, Matt" Bauman was the
oldest active businessman in
Mount Clemens, having operated
a tailor shop in the city for so
years. Probably no resident OF
the city had a wider circle of
friends than Bauman, whose in
terest in this community and its
residents never tagged until his
death.
The son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Bauman, he was born on April
81, 1868, in Kitchener, Ontario,
and came to this city SIS years
ago. For so years he conducted
a tailoring business here, open
ing his first shop in the old Far
Der Building on Front street
which is now called Broadway.
Until his retirement, his business
was housed at l03 North Gratiot,
where he was located for 20
years.
1t was not for the quality of
workmanship only that Mats
shop was popular place to col
lect a gathering, for his popular
ity as witty and entertaining
conversational st were we'll
known. He loved his city, and
little that occurred concerning it
remained unknown to him for
very long. Toward the last, as
failing health made it difficult
for him to continue actively as
a businessman, his shop became
the recognized gathering place
for those who knew the city as it
was, and newcomers seeking OBJ
scure details out of the past had
only to contact Matt to get their
bearings.
Matt, and men like him, were
a welcome holdover from more
tranquil past, when time stood
still for those who got the great
est enjoyment in living their
lives on day to day basis, and
savored friendship to the full.
Surviving, besides his widow,
Addy, is a son, Albert E., of De-
troit; two daughters, Mrs. Her
man Brugger and Mrs. James
Burgess, of Mount Clemens, and
one grandchild. Also surviving
are two sisters, Mrs. Andrew
Leonard, of Port Huron, and
~. Urban MUIR, of Mount
Clemens, and a brother, Charles,
of Kitchener, Ontario.
Services will be held Wednes-
day at $50 a. m. from the home,
and at 900 a. m. from st. Peters
Catholic Church. Burial will be
in the family lot at Clinton
Grove Cemetery, with the La
Croix e. Groesbeck Funeral
Home officiating. Prayers will
be held tonight and tomorrow
night and at the residence at
800 p. m.
