CUT COMMUNICATIONS
simultaneously, communica-
tons were interrupted between
Java and the port of Banter
masin,. on the south coast of
Dutch Borneo, $50 miles north
of Soerabaja. This usually
means that an attack is in pro-
gress.
Other Japanese troops effect
ed a new landing on the coast
of Australian-mandated New
Britain island In the Bismarck
Archipelago. New Britain lies
about 600 miles north of Aus
tralia.
A Reuters British news agen-
Cyl dispatch said the Singapore
radio went off the air at 7:3O
a. m. eastern war time, today.
London quarters gravely ac-
knowledged that the situation
on the embattled island was
very bad" as Japanese rein
forcements attacked along
two-mile front.
A previous British counter-at-
tack, aimed at wiping out the
first Japanese lanGing parties,
had been beaten off by sheer
weight of numbers.
Domei said japanese engi-
neers swan out under cover of
darkness and worked frantical-
ly throughout the night" to re-
pair the Johore causeway, and
that by morning steady stream
of japanese troops and supplies
poured over the structure.
The crisis was near.
CRISIS AT HAND
A Singapore communicate, fol-
lowing heavy action in the night,
announced "some further with
drawal of our forces" despite
their stubborn resistance.
The Japanese were reported to
have succeeded in making
further landings on the island IN
the area between Sungei Kran-
j." a zoEe due west of the
causeway across the strait which
British bombers and warships
preached after the retreat from
Malaga Jan. 30.
Far to the east, a widening Of
the Borneo fighting zone was
indicated. French news reports
broadcast from Algiers said a
fleet had been observed off Ban
jermasin, on the south coast of
Dutch Borneo, and it was pre-
sumed a landing would be at
tempted.
Netherlands East Indies auth
critics announced that Japan
csc landing parties had gained
a foothold in the neighborhood
OF MacaSsar, in the southwest
section of the island of Celebes,
previously invested from tn c

Leader
CONTINUED from Page ~

until, by the mid-192O's, it had
won an outstanding plao, in
small-city newspaper circles.
Countless residents of Macomb
county throughout the sounder
years of its administration and
growth literally grew up with
The Leader as their sole daily
means of acquiring knowledge
of local, state. national and in
ternational affairs. Until the
present time it has retained an
impressive circulation list.
FINANCIAL MORASS
During recent years, how
ever, The Leader and its owners
became ever more deeply involv-
ed in financial entanglements
with a resultant strangulation of
its once virile freedom of ex-
preston and of growth. In 1898
is impressive headquarters, The
Price Building, was taken over
by the Michigan Life Insurance
company and ever increasing OBJ
legations, which could not be
balanced by income, led t h e
newspaper along lie trail to
financial ruin.
On August Is, 1910, The Nell
is Newspapers, publishers of a
long-established chain of out
standing weeklies. acquired the
highly valuable A $50 c a e d
Press wire services, principal
backlog Of successful daily
newspaper pro d uct n, and
launched The Daily Monitor in
direct competition to The Daily
Leader.
RAPID PROGRESS
The advent of the Monitor
presented a serious threat to The
Leader. Former Leader sub
scribers, in ever-increasing num-
bers, swung away from the Older
publication. Soundly admins
tered, we'll financed, clearly edit
ed and maintaining a vigorous
independence The Daily Mont
tor, by the Spring of 1941, had
made such enormous strides that
the fate of its competitor ap-
peared certain.
In the summer Of 1941 the
Mckay plan of reorganization
was presented to the u. S. Dis
trict court and the newspapers
future appeared sure to be sew
cred from that of its former
owners, the Price family.
POSITION CLEAR
In November, 1941, Frank d.
attorneys advised the
Federal court that an agreement
had been reached whereby the
Leader would be sold to the
owners of The Daily Monitor
when, and if, the Mckay plan
was approved.
On Dec. "a, 1941, Judge Moin-
ct approved the Mckay propos-
al.
From that date forward the
eventual suspension of The
Leader seemed assured.
Various attempts made by the
former owners of The Leader,
as we'll as by employees of the
newspaper, to raise money
W h e b y continued operation
might be assured, proved una
vailing. The Mckay offer
roughly totaling $4,000, re-
NAMED the single feasible one
before the court. Under it Sc
cured claims were to be paid in
+ ull !, including back-wage de-
linquencies. Mrs. Price, a gen.
eral creditor in the sum of $10,-
600, would have received an out
right grant Of $4,000 cash, plus
a pro rata share expected to
produce up to IS per cent re-
turns for general creditors, Of
approximately $500 more.
Mckay has been the possessor
of all but two of the 5000
shares of stock in the company
since 1887. He had endorsed
notes totaling $4,000 for S.
Norton Price in 1896. An un-
paid balance of some $4,000 on
those obligations remains out

not lacking in that respect.
There are better airplanes even
now going into mass production.
There are many new devices Of
destruction, not for some prob

are being produced in quantity
now"

Death Claims
Aged Indian
Fighter, "a

AGATE, Neb., Jan. 28-(R)--
Capt. James H. Cook, 81, sur
vivor Of attacks by wild animals,
wild indians, cattle rustlers and
outlaws, died of pneumonia yes
terday on the 10 1000 acre ranch
where he became a paleontolo-
gist whose fossil finds are dis
played In museums of the world.
The grandson of the Capt.
James Cook who discovered the
Hawaiian Islands, Captain Jim"
also started out to be q sailor,
but a big storm on his first voy-
age changed his mind and he be-
came q cowboy in Texas.
In the 1905 Cook herded
longhorn steers north on the old
Chisholm trail and in 1877 be-
came a market hunter in the
Rockies, helping supply meat for
construction crews of the Union
Pacific railroad.
Cook learned the Indian sign
language and for a time headed
special police force organized
by New Mexico and Arizona
ranchers to stop depredations of
Indians and rustlers. In one
year, Cook and his men put SO
men in Jail and shot q number
of others who resisted.
He guided u. S. troops In the
Apache Indian wars and during
the campaign against Geronimo.
In 1891, Cook was a scout under
General Nelson A. Miles when
the Battle of Wounded Knee
took place.
