ployed and because the working
people of the nation were toiling
longer and harder than ever before
they should have an opportunity
for recreation to take their minds
off their war labors.
The President said, however, that
individual players of active mill
tary OR naval age should 60 into
the services, when called.
Lands, in his inquiry written
from Chicago Jan. IA, pointed out
to the President that the time was
approaching when under ordinary
conditions the nations baseball
teams would head for their spring
training camps. He asked what the
President had in mind regarding
continuation of professional base
ball in time Of war.
Early said the Presidents letter
pointed out that baseball game
lasted only 2 or ID hours and
that tickets did not cost much. The
President also expressed the opin-
ion that night games could be ex-
tended because this would allow day
workers to see an occasional game.
Another way of looking at the
question Of baseball in time Of war,
the President said, is that if 300
teams use 5000 to 5000 players,
these players will be definite re-
creational asset to 100000 peo-
pie. Such usage of these players is
thoroughly worthwhile, Mr.. Roose-
welt said, expressing his belief that
Lands could handle the problem
with complete Justice.

mountain fighters who are attempt
ing to slip behind MacArthur's lines
TO attack communications and for
titled positions.
laps May Gain Some
The failure of the communique
to state whether MacArthur's lines
are holding may indicate that the
japanese have had some success in
their attack upon the heavily out
numbered American forces.
Japanese propaganda broadcasts
claimed that a fierce attack on the
Bataan lines Is imminent and that
one corner OF MacArthur's lines has
been destroyed by determined air
bombardment. However, Tokyo ad-
mitted the strength OF MacArthur's
lines which were said to be camou-
flaged Gin a new manner"
One possibly serious development
was o japanese claim that new
landings" have been made on Ba-
taan. That might put Japanese
force ashore In the province behind
MacArthur's northern lines.
Today's commmique said that
Macarthur Is receiving many reports
from Japanese occupied areas OF
systematic looting and devastation.
It appeared that Macarthur Is
receiving regular and fairly full re-
ports Of conditions behind the jap
anese lines, indicating that he has
left behind him an excellent system
of espionage which may be keep
ing him informed Of japanese mil
itary plans as they develop.

ace German propagandist, and the
power which made him lie to the
grand jury was "the long arm of the
gcstapo".
Hill was accused specifically of
perjuring himself when he deneid
hiding away eight sacks of propa-
| ganda sought as evidence and when
he denied that he knew or had con-
versed with Viereck. The defense
ordered no witnesses to refue those
presented by the government and the
jury took only one hour and 38
minutes to agree on verdict. 1t
spent 80 minutes of that time at
lunch.
Fish, who had employed Hill for
20 years, issued the following state
ment:
Il am very sorry to learn that
George Hill, a disabled decorated
veteran of the World War and a
clerk in my office, has been con-
victed of perjury on two counts,
neither of which - If he had admit
violation of the law, nor did either
of the charges impugn his loyalty
or patriotism.
'Mr. Hill is of English ancestry,

bat veteran he mad an obsession

enemy submersibles were operating

There was long delay in making
an official announcement concern
ing the second sinking. First news
that another ship had been attacked
was reported from local officials at
Quoque and Hampton Bays, Long

Meanwhile, the crew of the Nor
ness, which spent hours in life boats
before being rescued by fishing
vessel and naval craft, were rested
and able to describe their experience.
Hit Without Warming
Captain Harald Hansen, master of
the Norness, said his ship was at
tackled without warning and the
submarine made no effort to find
out whether any help was needed"
Three torpadoes were fired into the
ship, at 10-minute intervals. 1t was
cold, dark night and the sea was
rough.
1.-THE first torpedo destroyed the
wireless and we were unable to send
out any signal" he said. I'VE immed-
lately started to launch our RATS
and life boats. There was no panic
and each man went to his station.
There was no warning. We were
about II hours out of New York.
We did not have our gun ready and
most of the men were asleep"
1.-THE submarine was moving away
and we could see no one on it," he
said.

was launched, dumping the eight
men in it in the water. Two of them,
both sailors, were never seen again

The great expansion in the Army
would more than double the present
force of 100000. The numerical
peak of ground forces was the 1878

The 1912 program envisages doub-

Hershey told press conference

that the oyher 100000 can be OBJ
tanned from reclassifications now
underway and from the men who

May Have Retired
This account, II correct, would
indicate that Macarthur has been
forced TO retire a few miles inside
Bataan into the more mountainous
area where his cannon lay down a
devastating barTage along the few
roads upon which the japanese
might advance.
The Japanese claim of bombing
a U. s. airfield attracted interest
since there had been no previous
indication that Macarthur had any
planes left.
Even IL the Japanese have pushed
southwark into Bataan province
there was no indication of any
major break-through Of Macarthur s
positions. 80 long as he can hold
them there Is no prospect that the
Japanese can reinforce their attack
on Singapore by using Manila's port
facilities.
Corregidor's guns can smash any
japanese attempts to move shipping
in or out OF the harbor and it ap-
pears that the Corregidor anti-air-
craft batteries have been reinforced
in the interval since the heavy jap
anese air attacks of last week.
A report by Macarthur of Japan
l.

sending out small parties along the
pattern Of their operations In Malaga
In an effort to get behind the fixed
American positions and disrupt COM
municatons and generally harrass
