LABOR:
n Peace Offer

John L. Lewis, who admittedly
threw a personal monkey wrench
into the machinery of labor unions
which sought to make peace between
Clio. and ALL. prior to the war
declaration, now had extended the
olive branch of peace "as a war
move"
The bushy-eyebrowed leader of
the United Mine Workers, originator
of the breakaway from the ALL.
in the first place, back in 1886, wrote
to Philip Murray, head of CLIO,
suggesting that peace negotiation
be started. He also wrote in the
same vein to William Green, presi-
dent of ALL.
President Roosevelt repeatedly
had sought to bring about just such
an outcome.
Each effort had failed. 1t had
been more than a year since the
last try was made.
Lewis, in his letters, said:
sit is my opinion that under con-
ditions existing at present there is
a justification for the belief that a
further effort could achieve success.
''It is obvious that if Accomplishment
could be achieved, with unified and
competent leadership the results
would be advantageous and in the
public interest. Heretofore this has
not been possible.
Conditions are now changed.
America needs unity in every phase
of its national economy"

Carole Lombard is shown accept
ing defense bond applications and
stuffing them into the case of the
first shell fired in World War /. This
photo was made in Indianapolis,
where she assisted in launching a
bond sale drive. 1t was while re-
turning to Hollywood from this mis-
sion that she lost her life.
Lombard, her mother, Is air pilots,
presumably those engaged in ferry
ing planes from factories to air
fields, and five others.
There had been no immediate data
on sabotage, but the average observ-
er was wondering when there were
more than SO lives lost in 48 hours
in six crashes, five of them army
planes (three bombers and two fight
ers) and one of huge transport
plane with Is pilots among the pas
sengers.
The transport plane crashed into
the side of an 8,5O0-foot mountain
at night, thirty-fve miles out of
Las Vegas, shortly after the pilot
had reported good weather.
Army secrecy shrouded the mill
tary plane crashes, but the sudden
wave sent uncomfortable tinglings
along the public spine, wondering
whether the ships had been tam
pered with.
In the case of the crash in which
Miss Lombard lost her life, she was
returning from having personally
sold more than 100000 in defense
bonds in Indiana, her birthplace.

IT. S. NAVY:
A Hint or TtUo

Nothing in the form of detailed
communicates about naval activities
was coming out of the Pacific, but
occasionally there was hint or two
which showed that Uncle Sans
Union Jack was not waving aimless-
ly about in those waters.
One of these was dispatch from
a correspondent aboard one of the
battlewagons, who wrote to the
press that the navy was active, was
sinking Jap submarines, was on the
lookout for unwary Jap ships and
dropping them to the bottom OF the
sea, but was not allowing itself to
be trapped.
He also stated categorically that
among the detectives of the navy
was to prevent repetition of Jap
attacks on Midway and Johnson's
islands, or on Pearl Harbor.
A further hint that showed the
Japanese might have cause for the
filters concerning the ocean situa-
ton came from an official commu-
nique that three japanese vessels
had been sent to the bottom of the
Bay of Tokyo, uncomfortably close
to vulnerable Japanese cities as the
two American vessels torpedoed off
Long Island, not by the japanese,
but presumably by U-boats.

This is recent photo of Field Mar
shall WaIther Won Reichenau, who,
according to Berlin reports, died aft
er an attack of apoplexy. He was
given a large share of credit for
the sweeping Nazi victories in the
West and was regarded as the gen.
eraI closest to Hitler.
slams had been hammering with ar
tillery fire for more than a week.
These forces consolidated, alleg-
edly destroyed seven Nazi battal-
ions of infantry and burned a rail-
road train containing % cars of war
material. The Germans, their sup
ply lines cut, were trapped.
It was believed by Red headquar-
tiers that the surrender would follow
as a matter of course, without Sc
rious further resistance.
Field Marshal Won Reichenau, IA
NOUS leader of the Germans
Urainian army, responsible for
the successful southern drive against
the Russians last summer, dropped
dead of apoplexy, and state fu-
neral was decreed for him.
Thus Hitler had lost by death an
other famed commander, after re-
lieving Won Brauchitsch of command
not long before.

'HELLFIRE':
Important Surrender

Poles, British and Free French
were in the British force which
stormed and forced surrender of
Hafaya pass, the ''hellfre" strong
hold which twice before in this war
had changed hands on the Libyan
front.
The pass is break in the escarp-
ment near the Libyan-Egyptian
frontier, and forms supply route
which saves the British or Ger
mans, as the case may be, a 100
mile detour by southern route.
Fifty-five hundred Germans and
Italians surrendered at Halfaya
pass, raising the total of Axis pris-
oners taken in the British victory to
1000.
The taking of Solurn, another "re-
sistance pocket" back of the British
lines had cut off Halfaya's de-
tenders from aid from the Medi-
terranean, and they were surround
ed by land. Any supplies they got
fell from Axis planes, and the British
had mastery of the air.
So Halfaya fell, and the victory
was hailed by the British as of far
more import than Immediately ap-
peared.

Queer To,Un Names

If you study a large scale map
of the United States, you will find
many places with queer names.
For instance, respectable villages
are called by such odd names as
Hard Cash, Boomerang, Bird-m-
Hand, and Dynamite. In other
parts of the United States, towns
are named after various foods.
Apricot, Grape, Fish, Coffee, and
Cereal are a few. Then there IS
Fry, What Cheer and Peculiar.
England, too, has its queeriy
named places, such as Seldom
Seen, Never Seen, Billy Row,
Brass Side, Black Boy, EARLY
Nook, Cow Tail, Kicking Cuddy,
Friar's Goose, Light-a-Pipe, PAY

MALAYA:
Resistance

For some time it had been evil
dent that supreme battle for air
mastery over Malaga had been in
progress, perhaps spreading to the
whole southwest Pacific area; now
it had become plain that British
resistance was steadily growing,
and that the final and desperate
battle to save Singapore was in the
offing.
1t seemed likely that this would
take place at a point about so miles
from Singapore, perhaps closer,
somewhere on line south of the
Maur river
1t was with considerable surprise
and no little concern that the British
announced the Japs had crossed the
Maur and had established a bridge
head on the southeast bank.
Previous gains which had showed
the Japanese $50 miles down the
Malayan peninsula had caused no
such battle as did the attempt to
wipe out the Maur river bridgehead.
Final picture of the Malaga front
would be a line about 100 miles wide
running generally from east to west,
with some inevitable salients caused
by Irregularities of the terrain.
Against this wall, said Major Gen.
eral Bennett, the Japs were expect
ed to hurl their full force of artillery,
tanks and planes.
The counter picture, however,
was more encouraging to the Allies.
Australian transports loaded with
men and machines were arriving at
Singapore at long last, and plane
reinforcement, particularly fast Buff
falo (American made) fighter planes
were appearing on the front and
were doing terrific execution.
This had been the sort of thing
the Australian government had
been crying out for during several
weeks. The singing Aussies" were
going into combat, were reported to
have hurled at least one section of
attacking Japs back into confusion.
There was no disposition on the
part of the Malaga defenders to be-
come cocky, indeed Major General
Bennett was rather on the pessimis-
tic side, and said it was likely that
the Japs before long would be knock
ing at the doors of Singapore.
But in general things were little
more on the upturn side, and many
believed the tide of the Singapore
battle might be turning.
Certain it was that it had been
a heterogeneous army which had
faced the Japs up to this point.
From now on it looked as though
the Aussies were taking over, planes
and men, and that the Japs might
have found, as they did in the Chi
nese battlefelds, foemen more than
worthy of their steel.

MAC ARTHUR:
Spirited

Although MacArthur's men on the
island of LuZon had continued to put
up a spirited resistance to over
whelming numbers of Japanese in
vaders, there were certain aspects
of late communicates which had
pointed to the fact that the battle
must be entering it's decisive stages.
And Washington was holding out
to the American public no hope that
there could be any outcome but final
defeat, though temporary, in that
theater of the war.
The Japs had evidently turned
MacArthur's right flank somewhat,
if not completely, and reports of a
landing on the Bataan peninsula
were highly disquieting.
The brave little army was putting
up a terrific defensive fight, but
Washington observers pointed out
that much of its success depended
on maintaining communications with
Corregidor, and it was up to the
right flank to maintain this connec-
ton.
Tokyo COMMUNICATES mao SHOWN
that MacArthur's army was fighting
bitterly to maintain this.
It was considered more likely that
the American right flank was en-
deavoring to keep supply lines open
than to make an escape.
But there. was believed little like
lihood that reinforcements for the
defending army would even be pos
sible in time to turn defeat into VIC
tory.
From the opening days of the bat
tie leading observers in Washing
ton had seen the loss of the Philip
pines as inevitable, though predict
ing that they would be redeemed"
later.

Measured for Tickets

When travelling by train in China
one often sees the strange and
amusing spectacle of child passen-
gers being carefully measured
with ruler by the conductor. The
reason for this is that in China the
fares for children travelling on
trains runs not in proportion to
their age, but in proportion to their
height. Children under two feet
six inches are allowed to travel
free; those up to four feet four
inches are charged half fare. Chill
dren taller than that have to pay
the full fare.

NEW SELECTEES
1t needed no mind reading to
fathom what was behind that war
department announcement of the
purchase of 700,000,0 900 feet of lum-
Der and 100000 kegs of nails-the
biggest order of its kind in u. S.
history.
The materials are for the con-
struction of numerous new army
environments and the enlargement
of existing ones.
Army strength, down to 100000
after the rehabilitation of % to 35
year olds last fall, is due for a big
increase-at least another 100000
after the next draft lottery follow
ing the February 16 registration of

An estimated $4,000, 900 will regis
ter next month, and on the basis of
past experience only about per
cent will be rated LA; that is, SUBJ
ject to immediate call. Heretofore
the army has indicted only men in
good physical condition, with no de-
pendents and not engaged in "es-
sential" production.
However, as the need for military
manpower develops, la standards
will be broadened and many thou
sands of lib, IA, and 2-B deferees
by pre-war standards will be called
up.
For the present, the army still is
placing primary emphasis on youth.
The February 16 registration is ex-
pected to list around 100000 20-21
youngsters and the largest proper
ton of new inductees will come from
this group. Registrars in the SO
to A group will have to be in top
condition to get in the army at this
time.
However, big scale inductions
from this age group can be expected
by fall, particularly those with no
dependents and with previous mill
tary service.
For the present the army will take
its older-age recruits from the %
to 35 year olds who were exempted
because of dependency or defense
work.

SUBMARINES:
German, Losses Heavy

The war in the Atlantic, particu-
larly since the United States started
patroling, has resulted in heavy sub
marine losses for Germany, A. V.
Alexander, first lord of the ad-
miralty, declared.
He said that thousands of the
Reich's best submarine personnel
had been drowned or captured, in
GLIDING many of Hitler's top-fight
commanders.
He said:
ga heavy toll is being taken, and
it seems clear that one of the great
problems of the enemy is to man
his new submarines with sufficiently
trained crews.
Meantime the strength Of the
royal navy is growing despite heavy
and repeated casualties"
It was one of his first statements
since the loss of the Repulse in
Singapore waters.
He was unable to deliver it in
person because he was busy with
Prime Minister Churchill, who had
just flown in from Bermuda, thus
terminating his stay in the United
States.
Churchill was greeted like a re-
turning conqueror, and was cheered
to the echo wherever he appeared.
