ing out of the now burning tanks
and were picked off, one by one.
A second gun in the battery of
Australian anti-tank guns got four
tanks, and the spearnead Of the
Japanese attack was broken.
The fight was one of the most inn
portant since the Australians got
into action. The Japanese had eff
fected a landing in some strength
on the west coast and had moved
up tanks. If the attack had sue
ceeded the Japanese would have cut
the main road between the adj
vanced forces, further north, and
the main forces.
1t was at dusk Saturday when
the first contact was made. The
Australian artillery kept up fire all
night on the roads, to hold the Jap
anese stationary, and they replied
with mortar fire. Our own mortars
plastered the rubber fields on both
ends Of the roads.
Just as dawn broke, the Japanese
tanks attacked, and were smashed.

Battle For Singapore

Japanese Direct Main Thrust AT Coastal Sector. Is

BY HAROLD GUARD

L
Singapore, Jan. 20-(UP)- The
Japanese directed their main thrust
against Singapore today at the
coastal sector toward Batu Pahat
rs miles northwest of the big Brit
ish naval base, q communique said.
Imperial forces met the thrust
with Australian units leading coun-
ter attacks against the japanese
south of the Muar river and Royal
Air Force planes blasting enemy
concentrations and transport fac
ilities, including landing barges.
The communique said that Brit
ish fighters and bombers swept the
enemy forces in the Muar river
sector-90 miles from Singapore
with heavy machine gun fire.
A number of barses from which
the Japanese were disembarking
troops at the mouth of the Muar
were bombed, while heavy r. A. F..
bomberS ranged far behind the
Japanese lines to attack supply
columns and bases, including Kuala
Lumpur.
The Australians on the Muar
front had recaptured some ter
ritorv from the Japanese during
counter-at attacks but today's COM
munique indicated that penetra-
ton of the coastal sector south of
the mouth of the Muar was con-

American Navy Begins
Hitting Back At Nazis
Striking Back Savagely At German Submarine Mem
ace Along Atlantic Coast = Already Four Oil
Tankers Have Been Hit By Torpedoes
BY CAL PARKER
United Press Staff Correspondent


Newport News, Va, Jan. 90
(UP)-The navy was striking back
savagely today to eliminate the
German submarine menace along
the Atlantic seaboard which within
six days has cost the united nations
four oil tankers-three sunk by tor
pedoes and one damaged by shell
fire and torpedo.
The German underwater cam
paign, almost within sight of the
shore, apparently is directed at the
oil tankers plying the sea lanes be-
tween Caribbean and middle Allan
tic ports. Ships of other types which
were in the vicinity were not fired
upon.
The latest victim was the American
tanker Malay, an 8,206 ton Gulf Oil
Company ship, which limped into
this port early today after being
shelled and torpedoed off the North
Carolina coast early Monday. One
of its crew OF 80 was dead; four are
missing.
Survivors told naval officials that
the submarine singled out the Malay
from a group of several ships,
subjected her to merciless shellfire
and then sent a torpedo crashing
into her side almost amidshipS.
80 Minutes of Attack
The Malay was under attack for
80 minutes.
The pattern of the attack was the
same as those that sent the tankers
Norness and Coimbra to the bottom
off the coast of Long Island last
week and sunk the Allan Jackson
off the North Carolina coast early
Sunday. There was no warning when
the first shell crashed into the bridge
of the Malay before daylight.
