By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Jan. s-Advice from
the New York State Restaurant As
sociation on how its members may
avoid losing money should diners
flee without paying their checks
during AFRAID alarms:
When an air-raid alarm occurs,
honest but panicky guests will prob
ably want to leave the premises for
safer shelters before payment is
made In such cases restaurants
must be guided by only one consid-
eration-customers safety.
However, If adequate warning Is

Axis Forces Retreat
From Aeedabia Under
'Cover Of Sandstorm
British ImperioIs Slash
At Reor FIonks of Foe

~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Jan. 8.-Axis Libyan
forces, failing to give battle. at Age
dabia, are falling back even farther
west along the road to Tnpoli under
cover of . swirling sandstorm and
desert laid mines, but with the Brit
ish imperials slashing heavily at
their rear and TANKS.
British sources in London said
the offensive into Libya was now
600 miles from Its starting points
along the Egyptian border.
Qf this was an airline distance,
1t means that the British had cut
around far to the rear Of the
main German-Italian force to
somewhere In the vicinity Of
Misurata, Mediterranean port
only 40 miles east Of Tripoli, or
Khun, An inland city $40 miles
southeast OF Tnpon.
Of the longer highway and
caravan trail distances were
meant, 1t was probable that the
British advance was still no far
ther than the TANKS Of the re-
treating Axis African corpso
2o-4o Mile Penetrations.
Penetrations Of 20 to 40 miles into
territory previously held by the
enemy were reported south Of Age
dabia, itself some 800 airline miles
within Libya near the innermost
curve of the Gulf Of Sirte.
The Axis forces had stood for
days in the Agedabia region after a
fighting retreat from the Bengasi
region before finally choosing with
drawal as against further battle.
Surging tank attacks developed at
their rear.
Meanwhile, r. A. r. and Free
French planes continued their heavy
pounding OF the Axis defenses at
Halfaya, near the Egyptian -Libyan
border, where an Axis garrison still
holds out more than 800 miles east
Of the main battle zone.
Another in the long series Of Axis
air assaults on the Mediterranean
base Of Malta was recorded In the
communicate, which said some
slight damage was caused"
British informants declared the
Axis holdout forces in the Halfaya-
Salum area were being closely in
vested"
A military spokesman In London
praised the navy and r. A. F. for
their cooperation with the British
Army In the campaign.
A military commentator In Lon
don said British tank regiments had
suffered enormous casualties but
"the men did frightfully well" and
German Gen. Erwin Rommel had
little left in the way Of an armored
force
A British officer who has just re-
turned to London from the Near
East declared that men who used
1 the United States light tanks In
| Libya "swore by them" particularly
because OF their extraordinary
mechanical reliability" and easy ac-
cess to motors for repair.
The tanks compared unfavorably
with some>.lat larger British cruis-
er tanks in only two particulars
lack Of power attachments to move
quick sighting guns and their rela-
lively short range. necessitating
more frequent refueling.

CommuniQue No. 81, as OF $50 am
today, tolloUs:
/. Philippine theater:
Fighting of varying intensity Is
reported from all sections Of the
front. These operations are prob
ably preparatory to a large-scale
general attack by the enemy.
japanese reinforcements are
being brought up to the front
and indications point to a re-
newal of the offensive by the
enemy. Gen. Macarthur reports
that the morale and determina-
ton of the American and Philip
pine troops are high and that
they may be counted on to con-
tinue their resistance with skill
and courage.
For the first time in several
days there were no enemy at
tacks on the fortifications Of
Manila Bay Enemy air activity
was confined to reconnaissance.
2. There is nothing to report
from other areas.
The tert of War Department Com
nunique No. so. issued yesterday AM
based on reports received here up t,
5 pm. (E. S. IT,:
1. Philippine theater: Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, command
ing general Of the United States
Army forces in the Far East, has
received reports of widespread
damage to defenseless towns in
Luzon by Japanese air raids.
These attacks took place at va
rious times during the invasion
and were without military value
to the enemy.
Among the towns mercilessly
bombed were Baler, Santa Rosa,
Calamba and Tarlac, all of which
were completely razed. Many
natives were killed in these at
tacks. None of these towns con-
tanned any military installations.
During the last few days civilians
in Arayat, Gambling, San Fer
nando and other towns, were
machine -gunned in the streets
by low-fying enemy planes.
The Japanese apparently de-
liberately chose Sundays and re-
ligious holidays for these attacks,
knowing that on such days a
large number Of civilians would
be attending church or on the
. streets. The first attack was
made on Sunday. December 7,
1941. and on each subsequent
Sunday and on Christmas and
New Year Day enemy air at
tacks have been particularly
heavy. AS was the case in Ma
nila, the churches in the towns
and villages were made the spe-
cial objects Of attack. Each
church is an outstanding land
mark and its distinctive character
is readily apparent, hence the
destruction of places Of worship
was obviously premeditated.

making the best of what he has
on hand, Baker will move Rock

with Meyer swinging seventh.

CrisIer Heortened
by Squad Showing

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Sept. 10
-(P)-Coach Herbert O. Fritz
Crisler gave his University of
Michigan football squad taste
Of hard physical contact yeSter-
day. and saw one of his half
backs leave early with a bruis-
ed rib.
Paul White, fleet Junior half
back from River Rouge, was the
injured Wolverine, but Trainer
Ray Roberts said the ailment
probably was not serious.
All things considered, Crisler
was heartened by the afternoon
workout. 1t was the first time
the defensive eleven was given
instructions to CHI arge and
tackle with real-game emphasis,
and his first team took the
challenge capably.
Tom Kuzma displayed all the
signs of stardom that he showed
last year, ripping long gains
t rough the scrub line and
pitching a couple of touchdown
passes.
Jack Karwales, the Chicago
lad who has been definitely
switched from end to tackle,
worked with relish and skill in
his new position.
Phil Sharpe shared a couple
of passes for 30 and 40 yard
gains, somewhat soothing the
coaches fears that they had no
capable receivers to work with
a trio of excellent tossers, Kuz-
ma, Bob Chappius, and Cliff
Wise.
Sideline observers continued
to interpret Crisler's emphasis
on passing practise as meaning
he intends to open up the VOL
VERNE attack just bit from
what it has been in the past.

First Class Freddie Cochrane
squares off for a hereunder with
Fritzie Zivic at Madison Square
Garden tonight, will be Ray
Robinson.
Robinson generally is consid-
cred the best weller alive. He is
unbeaten. He knocked out Civic.
So why, you ask, is not Robin
son of Harlem in there pitching
for the title?

ager of Sailor Red Cochrane, ex-
plain:
SEES BIG GATE
"Cochrane will get $4,000
when he defends the champion

there the hard way, is entitled

Robinson twice ran out on us.

Jacobs guaranteeing Cochrane
$4,000 for boxing Robinson at
l47 pounds. Kurt Hermann,
who manages Robinson, was to
take go per cent and pay us, but
Promoter Jacobs called the
whole thing off when he failed
to put up the collateral.
MAKES OFFER
Then we offered to take on
Robinson in a non-title match
provided there was no hemming
and having about the weight.
Robinson agreed and then sud-
denly decided he could not come,
in at more than lat pounds. He
has been weighing about Jas. So
we are giving Civic the return
match to which he is entitled"
Cochrane's title will not be al
stake in his second edition with
Zivic, of course. Civic agrees to
scale not less than 148. He has
been weighing around $50. Coch-
rane, who weighed 1922 when
he scaled the heights year ago
this past summer, expects to
weigh las.
COCHRANE POPULAR
Although Zivic has been box
ing we'll of late, practically ev-
erybody likes Cochrane, whose
physical training work in the
Navy has kept him in shape. In
three starts since the last Zivic
engagement, Cochrane toppled
Lew Jenkins four or five times
at the Garden, beat Bobby Brit
ton in Miami and dropped
highly debatable decision to Ma
rine Garvey Young in Boston.
Cochrane said he knew how to
fight Zivic the first time-and
he did. He contends Civic is
tough only when an opponent
permits himself to be maneu.
vered. He promises to again lug
the trouble to the Pittsburgher.
He did this for Is rounds the
first trip, so there is no reason
to believe he can't do it for 10.

Cochrane was given a fur
