Corregtdor will stand against Jap
attacks to the bitter end.
Meanwhile, reinforcements are
being rushed to the South Pa
cific. Men are arriving from
Australia and war material is be-
ing sent from the United States.
Japs Fear Surprises.
For the time being the Japa-
nese are delivering all the blows
and receiving few. This picture
may change when the necessary
reinforcements have reached the
war zone.
The Japanese successes are due
almost exclusively to air superb
ority. The Japanese air force is
much larger now than that Of
the Allies. They also have the
initiative and have been able to
concentrate superior force on
points Of attack. But their prob
lem Of replacing both men and
war materials is far more diff
cult than that of the Allies.
The Japanese military strength
Is estimated to be about 100 to
120 divisions at most. OF this
force they must maintain 20 di-
visions on the Japanese-Russian
border. The so-called Kwantung
army is pinned on the border in
order to forestall any surprise
attack. While it is true that the
Russians do not intend to attack
the Japanese at the present
time, the Toxic high command
fears a surprise should the Dor
der force be weakened.
No less than 30 divisions, prob
ably 40, are fighting in China.
Nippon Losses Believed High.
Thus. out of a maximum Of
100 divisions. between so and so
must be kept on the Chinese
mainland and on the Russian
border. AS far as can be ascer-
tanned, there are between Is and
ID divisions in the Philippines.
The exact strength of the Japa-
nese invading force in Malaga,
based on Indo-C China and Thai
land, is not known, but it is be-
heved to consist of at least 20
divisions. This brings the total
to SO divisions on active duty or
actually fighting, leaving Japan

divisions in Formosa, Hainan and

Judqe Boosts Usual Fine

Police Court Judge George D.

Yesterday was the first day Judge
Nelson sat in traffic branch of Po-
lice Court since the higher collateral
scale for parking and other offenses
was inaugurated last fall by the
District Commissioners.
Collateral required at the police
precincts on the charge of double
parking, pending appearance Of de-
PENDANTS in court, is $40. Judge
John P. Mcmahon and Judge Walter
j. Casey, during the time they sat

Committee on Child Care
Maps Defense PROGRAM

The District Defense Councils
new Committee on Child Care and
Protection yesterday held its first
meeting at the District Building and
laid the groundwork Of a concrete
program for daytime care of young
children Of defense workers.
Under Mrs. Frank A. Linzel as
chairman the group moved toward:
Gathering data on Washington's
need Of day nurseries, especially for
defense workers.
Exploring the possibility Of using
churches and other structures for
the work as well as the chances
Of getting funds for new buildings.
Early launching Of two demon
stration nurseries. one white and ono
colored, with capacity Of 40 chill
dren each. in District owned or
leased quarters.
The committee was told the Coun-
Gil Of Social Agencies is being del
uged with calls for such assistance
from persons who have no one with
whom they can leave their chill
dren while at work. The committee
urged that persons making such in
quiries get in touch with Miss Alice
Cole, Mendham at the Council Of
Social Agencies.
Among agencies represented on
the committee are the Board Of Ed.
ucation, the Health Department, the
Board Of Public Welfare, the Board
Of Trade, the Child Welfare League
Of America and tho Children's Bu-
reau, Labor Department.

The Jap losses in the Philip

they are believed to be consider

For the time being, and until
the Allies can muster an ade-

Of operation are uninterrupted.
The Allied submarines, destroy

because they cannot afford to

not mean that American, British

ment filed at South Bend, Ind, in
connection with a technical and
complex matter of inStallment
financing for which he personally
had no responsibility. He would not
have been available to manage the

While Mr. Knudsen was acquitted
and his case is a conspicuous one,
there are other executives less con-
spicuous and less well known, but
sorely needed to run our production
machine, who must spend their time
right along in courtrooms or in

of persecution under the antitrust
laws as today applied by an anti

technicalities.
