WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-tUPl-
Japan's threatened all-out often
sive in the Philippines appeared to
be stalled today, judging from an
army communiquc which reported
that fighting has died down on
land and in the air, on all sectors
of the Bataan battlefront.
1t was the third time i'll recent
weeks that the japanese, with 10
to one superiority in manpoWer
and squadrons of dive bombers viz
tulallv unchallenged in the sky
had wound up fer an attempted
knockout assault only to be stop
ped in their tracks.
In heavy fighting during the last
10 days the Japanese-moving up

sought to find soft spot in Gen.

the skill and courage of American
1herS in the battle OF Bali
These observers pointed ont that
the blasting of the japanese war
ships off Bali had failed to prevent
the enemT from landing forces that
oEerran most of the island and
achieved their objective in seizing
the Den PaSar airdrome from which
attacks on Java now presumably
originate Tokyo broadcasts said
all of Bali was OcCupiedD
The enemy naval forces were
driven away but the question arises
whether they can return as they
did before with reinforcementS and
supplies, since they obviously would
remain in Bali waters exposed to
aerial attack only as long as neces-
sary to land the first invasion
troops.
The Dutch delaying action in
Sumatra, on the Java west flank
was being fought bravely and stub
bornly according to late reports,
but the Japanese still were send
ing in reinforcements to strengthen
their pincer drive from that direc-
ton.
The Japanese, however, are pay

NO JITTERBUGS

No small part of the confusion that
has existed in civilian defense through
out the country has been due to the
grandstanding methods Of Mayor La

if there ever was one.
Direction Of civilian defense is a full

LaGuardia could handle it as a side is

but progressively, to the seriousness Of

MAKING TIRES
LAST LONGER
I (PortcrVille RccordcI0

Americas tWenty-seVen million motor

less they heed the Office of Production
ManaFement'S plea to conserve their
tires as much as possible.
4 ban has already been invoked on
sales Of new tires To anyone except those
holding defense priority ratings For
that reason it behooVrs every motoriSt
to try to make his present tires last as
long as thel can The OPM suggests the
use OF public buses wherever possible,
and the holding OF pleasure-driving to a
minimum
The defense agency also suggests that
neighborS pool their automobiles. using
only one to go to work instead of several,
and urges housewives to carry home small
packages instead Of asking the merchant
To deliver the N.
Where ears must he USED OPM asks
observance of ten rules to make tires
last longer:
/. Have worn tires rttreaded instead
Of buying new ones; the cost is usually
about half of a Ii>aW tire and will give
about 80 per cent as much wear.
. Cut out high speeds tires will last
twice a,. long at 10 miles an hour as at 60
3 Initiate tires weekly to recommend
ed levels. Never let pressure fall more
than three pounds below recommended
mmimumS.
+ Donts stop short or make iack-rabbit
starts
5. Avoid striking curbs, road holes, and
rocks.
6. Check wheel alignment twice a year
\ tire one-half inch out Of line will be
dragged sidewiSe 81 feet cut of every
mile.
l. Repair all cuts, leaks and breaks
promptly; delay may cause damage that
cannot be repaired
3. Change wheel positions every 5000
miles.
9. Always get the tire made to fit the
rim Of your car; check with your garage
if you are not sule what size tire you
require.

NO PREROGATIVE
SUPERSEDES SAFETY

Attorney General Earl Warren'S rcyel-
alton that the federal government,
through its department of Justice, has
consistently refused to make japanese
alien lists available to the state discloSes
a condition as dangerous as any fifth
column activity could be.
The state has grave need of those lists
Because they could not be obtained from
the department of Justice, every county
in California has been put to the expense
of conducting its own alien registration
program, completely duplicating that Of
the federal government. Thousands Of
dollars have been spent needlesSly be-
cause of this duplication at a time when
every dollar should be saved wherever
saving is possible.
AS vital as any other program dealing
with enemy aliens is the one to determine
where they have land, and to what use
that land has been put. The depart
ment of justice has no power to act in
such matter; il is purely state func-
ton. In order to carry out It's function,
the state needed lists Of all japanese
aliens in California. The department Of
justice had the lists but the state could
not get them.
This woeful lack of cooperation be-
tween state and federal governmental
agencies, when all should be working
closely together in the common interest,
reflects directly against the safety Of
the people Of California, and through
them the safety Of all the people of the
United States.
jealousy displayed by federal depart
ment heads over the prerOgatives they
consider to be theirs is notorious, but
the average person has the right to eX
pect that such jealOusias would be for
gotten, or at least shelved. during the
war emergency. Seemingly no such thing
has be done Each department, big
and little, still goes its own selfish way,
goes it, own merry way on the seeming
theory that it is Il whole government unto
itself, ansWerable to nobody and owing
help TO nobody.
If ever there is time when department
should cooperate with department, when
state government should cooperate with
federal government, and federal with
state, this is the time. BY cooperation,
money and time can be saved. Without
it, both will be wasted.
1t is time some Of the Self-nflated big
shots realized they are, after all, pretty
small cogs in mighty big machine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-oUP)-
For sheer breath-taking and
heart stopping desperation 1 have
never seen the equal
Those words from Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, who has seen history
written in many parts Of the world,
today gave undying fame to a de-
tachment of half-naked littl1 lgo-
rot tribeSmcn of Bataan'S jungle
battlefront.
Wild warriors screaming like the
savage head-hunters who were
their fathers, they rode into the
bloodiest battle of the Philippines
perched atop carecning American
tanks and guided them through the
jungle growth by hammering on
the steel sides with sticks
REGIMENT WIPED OUT
When the combination of primi-
tive fiercene.S and modern Weap-
OnS had finished it's job the 10th
japanese infantry regiment, 200
to l,500 men - had been com
pletely annihilated
The mad charge Of the IgorotS
was told belatedly in a war de
partment communique packed with
more drama than any to come out
of the Philippines in 70 days of re-
sistance by MacArthur'S weary but
determined little army of Ameri-
cans and FilipinoS.
1t was a victory of revenge for
the fate CT 125 to $50 other Igo-
rotS who, a short time before, had
80 man died in their fox
holes without flinching or thought
of retreat while taking the blow
of a new enemy offensive.
The story of the IgorotS stands
as a symbol CT why Japan's inva-
sion hordes, even with their vast
numerical superiority, their dive
bcmbers and their guns have beer
battered and thrown back in each
successive attempt to knock Mac
Arthur men off the isEGnd OF
