addition to escorting fighters, and
81 unescorted bombers in the sec
ono one, 1t was announced. Two
motored bombing planes were used
and the escorts were the crack jap
anese ravy-O fighters.
Six Jap Planes Down
At least six Of the enemy planes
were shot down.
It was believed that most of the
planes came from a Japanese air
craft carrier whose presence had
been suspected, off the northwest
coast of Darwin.
A message to the post office de-
partment said the post master, his
wife and their daughter and six
other persons had been killed and
IL persons wounded when a bomb
struck the post office.
At least nine of the approximately
10 women remaining in Darwin
were killed. About 1000 women and
children had been evacuated before
The raids started. Most Of the re-
naming women are nurses.
The Planes in the first raid, at
lacking at 10 a. m. yesterday, sep
arated. Some bombed wharves and
shipping, the others bombed shore
detectives. The second fleet ra.ded
at noon.
The government made no at
tempt to minimize the damage.
Bombs struck several ships and
damaged wharves, buildings and in
stallations of the fighting services.
Both civilian and military hospitals
were bombed and machine gunned.
At least one patient was killed and
several were wounded.
In the second raid, the Japanese
planes concentrated on attacking
Royal Australian. Air Force instlla-
tons, bombing and machine gun
ming airdrome buildings and ground
ed planes. There were some air
force casualties but damage was
said to be fairly light.
Continent Invasion Threat
Japan's attack, possible forerun-
ner OF an attempt to invade the con-
tlnent, had brought Australia direct
ly into the front line of the Pacific
war.
The prime objective was to knock
out the sole north coast base of Aus
tralla and in doing SO to disrupt the
air route for reinforcements for
Java. military iEformants said.

lament converged on Cranberra, the

On Strategy Board
Marshall, Stark, King and Arnold

board set up by Mr.. Roosevelt and

during the latter's visit here. That
board prepares the strategy by

The unified American tactical
command is responsible for the more
difficult job of actually carrying out
strategy.
One of the most important func-
tons Of the command is to select
men to carry out specific detectives
on the various war fronts. Already
field commanders have been selected
for Pearl Harbor, Panama, the Car
ibbean and Newfoundland.
Members of the house naval COM

to Knox that because the unified

Knox replied, members said, by

German-style military government.

His Broadcast


Washington, Feb. 20-OP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt suggested today that
the American people have world
maps or globes ready for reference
when they listen to his Monday
night fireside chat, indicating he
will review the war on world
front scale.
White House Secretary Stephen
T. Early said he believed that when
Mr.. Roosevelt has finished his adj
dress, scheduled for 10 to 1890 p.
M, E. w. T., Monday night, ut Will
nave been made very clear that
the oceans on each of our coast
lines are no longer the protection
TO this country they were said TO
be by some not so long ago."
The President, because of a head
cod, was unable. to meet his reg
ular Friday morning press confer
ence, and Early said that the Presi-
dent, had he been able to meet
with newspapermen, had planned
TO suggest the use of world maps or
globes in following his address.
IF the people will be good enough
to open their doors and let him
in Monday night" Ear-y said, "the
President hopes they have a map
of the world or a globe of the
world so they might very clearly
or much better understand him as
he talks with them"
Early said that he thought the
Presidents address would be aimed
at giving the picture of the world
at war as he sees It,"
Early added that Mr.. Roosevelt
ees the war through the copies
If every army and navy dispatch.
through other channels of in
.ormation avail able to the govern
nent and to the interchanging of
Information among the united ma
ions"
So far as discussing actual world
strategy, Early believe. Mr.. Roose-
yelt would confine him4e.f to state
ments Which would not give in
formation helpful to the enemy.
The address, however, will show
hat mi .tary actions and naval
engagements, though they may be
.ought thousands of mics away
rom this country, will directly af-
.ect each community in the Unit
ed States and each man working
on the production lines, Early caid.
