British, Allies Fight Terrifically At Burma
Infict Heavy Casualties Upon Japs New Air Marshal Named for India; British Raid on France
 Proves Frightfh
By DARRELL BERRIGAN United Press Staff CorreSpOndent)

Mandalay, Burma, March G. (UP)-British and Allied troops att tackled Japanese forces today on the Pegu front and were reported to have inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy.
 Reports from the front said that several fierce engagements" were fought in which British infantry forces were supported by armored cars. British tanks have also been reported in action.
 Skirmish lines thrown out in the WAW area northeast of Pegu were said to be barring Japanese from advancing on Pegu and the major battle for control of the northern approaches to Rangoon was expect ed in this area.
 Fighting was reported by the British army to be of less intensity than in past days and Rangoon it. self was quiet with no Japanese air activity reported.
 Earlier 1t was indicated that the enemy was driving with all its strength in its attempt to cut the railroad at Pegu, at the northwest corner of the Gulf of Martaban, and trap the British forces in the Rangoon area.
 No Clue to Position
 The communique gave no clue to the exact position at the front, or the extent to which the Japanese had been able to push big forces across the Sittang river in the

George Sylvester Viereck Is Facing Prison Term,
 With Heavy Fine

Washington, March 6.-CUP)- George Sylvester Viereck, the worlds master propagardist," paid by Ger many, faced two to six years in prison and maximum fine of s. today for violating the foreign agent registration law by concealing the aid he gave to isolationist mem bers of congress.
 His counsel prepared to appeal the conviction.
 A jury of 10 men and two women returned a verdict of guilty at 8:05 last night against the man gov- ernment prosecutors had called "the worlds greatest propagandist. ''
 The trial, which featured the names of senators and House mem bers with pre-war isolationist views, ended with a touch of courtroom drama.
 "Your Honor, may I say goodbye to my wife?" Viereck pleaded with Judge F. Dickinson Let's when a United States marshal started to lead him off to jail and other court officers stool between him and Mrs Viereck.
 His tiny wife, clad in black, broke loose from two attendants and at tempted to follow her husband Judge Let's permitted the meeting in quiet room in the courthouse basement. Led from the room handcuffed, he smilingly told her bye, bye" and kissed her.

 Fine" said Director Marin. "Now we'll do 1t again"
 Miss Temple received another kiss, as chaste as the first, while her mother squirmed in 8 chair. No- body could blame Mrs. T. for that. Here was her child earning $50.0O0 for performing in a movie which originally was titled "Little Annie Rooney" and later changed because of the stars appearance to Miss Annie Rooney" If the script called for her to be kissed, she had to be kissed. Mrs. Temple admitted that.
 But I don't believe 13-year-old girls actually go around riding in automobiles alone with boys" she said. Shirley certainly doesn't do it. She's never been in a cdr before with boy in her life. I don't know about this"

"MacArthur Stand" in Mountain Stronghold Is Only Hope Now Left ALLIED ARMIES FIGHT
 DELAYING ACTION ScOrched Earth Policy Has Been Followed Out By
 Retiring Allies
BY H. J. TICHELNTAN United Press Staff Correspondent


 Bandoeng, Java, March 6. - (UP) = The Japanese captured Batavia, capital of the Dutch East Indies, today and an out-numbered, weary United Nations army fell back into the hills of central Java for a "MacArthur stand" around this mountain stronghold.
 Batavia, abandoned by the Dutch after destruction of everything of use to the invaders, was the thirc allied capital Manila and Singa' pore were the others - to fall to the Japanese in less than three months of war in the Far East.
 Tonight, after another day oi steady enemy aerial attack, Japa. nese soldiers had cut across middle Java from north to south, occupied Jokjakarta and stood within sight of the Indian Ocean.
 The invasion armies "as a result of great superiority and mastery of the air" had thus over-run western Java, cut off the eastern half Of the island including Soerabaja naval base and forced the defenders to make their stand in the rugged cen tral region where volcanic peaks rise thousands of feet over the jungle. Already the rumble of heavy artil- lery could be heard in the streets of Bandoeng and a major battle ap- peared to be developing to the north. where the enemy previously had advanced to within perhaps 25 or 30 miles of this military headquart- CTS and temporary capital.
 Dutch In Grave Crisis
 The Dutch face a struggle of the utmost gravity but they have not given up and are frequently strik- ing back with telling effect, believ- ing that they can hold out in the hills until an Allied counter-drive on other Far Eastern fronts can be started.
 Powerful defenses guard the roads leading to Bandoeng. Mountain ar tillery has been in place for weeks and tank batteries, anti-aircraft guns and fortified points are supp plemented by barbed-wire obstacles and land mines in the path of the enemy.
 This is the area where the Dutch had long planned to make their last-ditch stand if necessary and even if the test has come sooner than many expected-they are ready for the climatic battle. Their biggest arsenals are hidden in the moul- tains near Bandoeng and their fln- est equipment has been withdrawn to these defense lines.
 But admittedly the Japanese have the great advantage of air control and the defense forces are weary after many hours of ruthless bomb ing attacks.
 'The battle for Java continues to rage stubbornly," the Dutch com

Pretty Brunette, Sales man in JeweIry Staying
 of Polish Refugee

New York, March = (U.P) = A pretty brunette and a 33-year- old salesman were sought by police today for questioning in the jewelry staying of Mrs. Susie Flora Reich, 52-year-old Polish refugee and wife of Jersey City wax manufacturer.
 The salesman, believed to be the mysterious MT. Leopold, in whose hotel suite Mrs. Reich's bound and gagged body was found, was at tempting to sell jewelry yesterday while detectives were searching for him, police learned.
 They said employees of the hotel had identified rogues gallery photo graphs of Eli Shonbrun as the man who registered with the brunette, 2 former model, as MT. and Mrs. Ted Leopold of Miami Beach, Fla.
 A man who identified himself as an uncle of Shonbrun told police his nephew came to him yesterday and asked him to sell some jewelry. A diamond ring valued at $1,500 and an enamel and diamond pendant were missing from Mrs. Reich'S per- sonal effects, establishing robbery as motive, authorities said.
 The man, whose name was not disclosed walked into 8 police sta- ton this morning to disclose the irl- formation.

 "Shes not a glamorous child, either" whispered Mrs. Temple.
 There was Miss Temple sitting in one of producer Small's trick cut- away automobiles that look like they're moving when they aren't, At the wheel was young Moore, driving through the traffic and talking about love. At the camera was director Edwin L. Martin, fir- esslng the action toward the kiss.

NATIONAL DEBT
 MAY BE DOUBLED
Sec'y MOrgenthau Asks Congress to Pass Mea-
 sure Right Away
BY JAMES SHEPLEY Tnited Press Staff COrreSDOndentl

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, March 6. (UP)-Sec- retary of Treasury Henry Morgen- thau, Jr., urged congress today to raise the national debt limit from 5000 100000 to $125, 100000 to permit borrowing of the gigantic sums required to finance the war.
 Tt is urgent that this bill be promtply enacted" Morgenthau told the House ways and Means Com mittee.
 "The balance of our borrowing authority at the end of February was about $1 400 100000. By the end of March it is anticipated that the borrowing authority will be insuth- cient to cover the debt issues that will be required during the month of April"
 He appealed for the higher debt limit three days after he asked that taxes be raised $7,6O0, 900 900 year. Even with this increase in taxes, federal revenues would meet only half the anticipated war cost dur ing the next fiscal year.
 Morgenthau testified in support or an administration bill introduced by Chairman Robert L. Doughton, D., N. C., of the ways and means com mittee.

United Nations Army Falls Back To Central Java Hills
Japanese Are Afraid Natives May Open An Uprising In Philippines
FilipinOs Ordered to Sur= render Every Weapon,
 Tool They Possess
BY EVERETT R. HOLLIS United Press Staff COrreSnondentl

'
 Washington, March G. (UP) - Apparently fearful of native up- risings, the Japanese have ordered all Filipinos in occupied areas to surrender every weapon and tool which might concievably be em- ployed as a weapon, the War De- partment reported today.
 A copy of the Japanese order, which extended even to the Bolo knife, the Filipino's tool of all work, has reached Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's headquarters, the depart ment'S communique said.
 "This order is interpreted by Gen. Macarthur as indicating that the invaders fear that the increasing resentment of the natives may de- velop into a popular uprising against the Japanese" the communique continued.
 Meanwhile, the communique said, the success of MacArthur's air sortie against Japanese troop ships in Subic Bay on March 4 has dis located enemy plans for resumption of their offensive in the Philippines.
 The Japanese order directed all Filipinos in the occupied zones to surrender not only all guns but also knives of every description and function.
 Bolos Included In Order
 Inclusion of the Bolo in the order, the War Department said, will make it difficult for the Filipino farmer to make a living, although he some times uses the broad -bladed knife as a weapon, the Filipino normally

 London, March 6. - (UP) Russian forces have broken through ice and snow fortifi- cations and captured a Ger man strong point at Yukh- nov, 125 miles east of Smo- lensk, and their comrades defending Moscow have re- pelled the first enemy at- tempt in three months to bomb the capital, Soviet dispatches said today.
 Yukhnov lies well behind the westernmost point of the Russian advance, and had been a nest of Naz resistance within the Soviet lines for more than two months. It is located on the Ugra River, 30 miles northeast of Mozalsk, the cap ture of which was announced by the Russians in January.
 The Germans had erected barriers of ice and snow about the town and each of its houses, dispatches said, . and had mined the surrounding Eountry within a nine-mile radius .FThe villages surrounding Yukhnov had been transformed into formid- able forts, and the German had brought reserves by plane from Ger many, France, CZechoslovakia and other occupied territory to attempt to hold it, the Russians said.
