The fall Of Bandoeng would leave
the Dutch but two other mountain
strongholds from which to continue

It was on Bandoeng that they

ers. The Japanese today declared
five out Of seven ships anchored
there were destroyed in a raid last
Wednesday and that wharves and
warehouses were set afire.
Informed Dutch quarters in Lon
don said that the Japanese proba-
bly, had landed heavy 155 millimeter
howitzers to smash their way toward
Bandoeng and admitted that II
probably was impossible much
longer for field army to maintain
operations under concentrated Japa-
nese air and artillery superiority.
Thus resigned to the loss of the
island, they nevertheless predicted
that widespread guerrilla warfare
will shoulder from end to end OF

forcement. This, they said, should
keep at least two japanese divisions

Mrs. Roosevelt Backs
Labor War Demands
Al Student Farley
Tells Opposed coIIesions
Troops Must Come Home
To Good Work Conditions

Mrs. Roosevelt came to the de-
fense Of organized labor last night
in the face Of spirited criticism by
a group Of college editors and lead
ers of its wartime demands.
She does not worry about the gap
between the pay of the enlisted
man and the defense laborer, she
said, because in the last analysis
there Is no pay adequate for q man
prepared to give his life for his
country.
On the other hand, she main
tanned, Americans have duty to
assure that their soldiers, sailors
and marines come home to hours,
wages and opportunities similar to
those they left.
Student Leaders Oppose Her.
Mrs. Roosevelt's opposition came
from so student leaders who during
the last three days have been tour
ing Government Offices to study
wartime Washington.
Their conference. which closed last
night, was held under the auspices
of the United States Committee Of
International Student Service.
The students peppered Mrs. Roose-
velt with suggestions for q draft
of labor similar to the Selective
Service Act. This she fears, she
said, because drafted labor might
be used as the opening wedge to
wipe out improved labor conditions
set up after years Of effort.
The right to strike. in particular,
she declared, should never be legls-
lated out OF existence in this coun-
try. She proposed instead that no
strike be called without being flrst
submitted to public arbitration,
carried on with members OF the
press present. Presence OF the
nress, Mrs. Roosevelt laughed, often
makes a great difference in a situa-
tion. =,
In response to student charges OF
corruption among organized LABOR
heads. Mrs. Roosevelt admitted:
"I know some crooks who are
labor leaders, and I don't like
them" But, she continued, labor
has no way to protect itself except
through organization"
Speaks At Y. w. c. A.
Introduced by DR.. George F.
Zook to the group at the E Street
Y. w. C. A., Mrs. Roosevelt opened
her talk with a summary Of Gov
ernment agencies which affect
youth.
OF the future of the National
Youth Administration and the CIVIL
ian Conservation Corps. Mrs. Roose-
welt declared that they should be
continued after the war but incor-
porated under the same program.
Granting the value of the out
door experience gained In the c. G.
C.. Mrs. Roosevelt maintained. Gov
ernment youth training in the
future should always include the
manual instruction given under the
N. Y. A. The N. Y. A., she hopes.
will lead to Federal grants to any
State incapable Of giving education
to all Of its youth who prove worthy
of education.
The students spent yesterday
morning discussing selective service.
In the afternoon they were enter
tanned at tea at the home OF Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Mrs. Nor
genthau.
