Nazi Engineers Seek
New Oil Deposits in
Rumanian Fields
News Of Diminishing
Output Is Minimized,
However, by Expert
BY RICHARD MOWRER,

CAIRO, Jan. l2-Since the Ger
man occupation of Rumak,ia, Ger
man oil engineers have been drilling
steadily in unexplored ground in
hopes of striking new oil deposits,
but thus far without noticeable re-
suits. according to information con-
veyed to your correspondent by an
oil expert recently arrived from the
Balkans.
He further stated that there are
more oil reflneries in Rumania than
the diminishing output Of the Ploesti
fields can keep going and about half
the refineries have been closed down.
This news should not be overesti-
mated. the expert pointed out, as
Rumanian oil is not Germany's most
important source, but 1t does show
that the Germans are anxious to
locate fresh deposits and that they
are not getting anywhere near the
amount Of oil that the diminishing
deposits offered before the war.
Rumanian oil wealth has been on
. steady decline for the last four
years. indicative Of the German
contemplated plans Of attack on
Turkey eventually IS the fact that
a single oil pipeline from Ploesti to
Giurgiu on the Danube has been
duplicated with material reuuisi-
toned from France.
The new pipeline from Ploesti
actually has been extended across
. German bargebridge over the Dam
ube to the Rustuk railhead on the
Bulgarian side OF the river. In the

were light.
In an oficial broadcast from Toxic
japanese imperial headquarters
claimed its soldiers on Saturday had
completely occupied Olongapo, q
United States naval base 60 miles
northwest Of Manila Bay on the
Batan Peninsula. The announce
ment failed to elicit any comment
from the Navy Department in Wash
ington.
Jap Bombers Return.
Japanese bombers returned stimuli
taneously to their attacks ON the
bristling fortifications guarding the
mouth of Manila Bay. The bonn
bardment, the first in several days,
was not heavy and did no serious
damage.
The raid Of the United States
bombers on Davao disclosed the
same heavy concentration of enemy
naval strength there as was observed
when the Army flyers blasted the
enemy there January S. During the
first raid l battleship, S cruisers, 6
destroyers, IL submarines and II
transports were seen. Yesterday the
bombers counted / battleship, 6
cruisers, destroyers. 8 transports
and 10 smaller vessels.
The belief here was that the bat
tleship left in flames was the same
dreadnaught on which the Army
bombers scored three direct hits a
week ago. The ship was caught in
a sheltered arm of the Gulf Of Da-
vac, and it was thought she might
have been moved there while at
tempts were being made to repair
the damage caused by the January
raid.
May Be Another Ship.
There was an outside possibility,
however, that she might prove to
be another ship. In that event, she
would be the fourth capital vessel to
be punished by United States bomb
ers. At least one was sent to the
bottom.
Washington looked for the Japa-
nese invasion Of the Netherlands
Indies to develop the sternest air
opposition the enemy has encount-
cred to date. Naval units support
ing the invasion must venture with
In easy range of the secure bomber
bases elsewhere in the Indies, and
japanese aircraft must operate at a
greater distance from their major
bases.
The Dutch have perhaps the largest
air force which any of the United
Nations has been able to muster thus
far to oppose Japan. It already has

The latest Russian advance meant,
It was said in Moscow, that the
Soviet forces were firmly astride the
vital railway system linking Smo-

ansk, major railway junction, was
definitely threatened; and that Orel,

Moscow-Kharkov railroad, had been

The Russian front thus extended
from Leningrad to point behind
the fortress city Of Novgorod, 100
miles south of Leningrad, thence
southeastward to bulge near Rzhev,
thence along an irregular line curv-
ing behind Mozhaisk, 81 miles west
of Moscow, which the Germans still
hold.
From the MozhaiSk area the line
bulges out once more to Mosalsk,
turns southwark to Lyudinovo, the
point of the extreme central advance
thus far, then curves back and runs
southwark behind Orel, Kursk,
