BROWN:
And Censors

Cecil Brown, radio broadcaster
and war commentator from Singa-
pore, had flown 1900 miles from
the besieged stronghold to Sydney,
Australia to tell the world the rea-
son for the blackly gloomy battle
of Malaga.
Significant of the bitterness of
Australia toward the British conduct
of the Far Eastern preparations was
the fact that Brown, barred from
broadcasting at all over the Singa-
pore radio because he wouldn't paint
rosy picture of things, was freely
permitted to talk when he got on
Australian territory.
His story was not pretty. It start
ed way back in Penang, when the
British, he said, evacuated only the
white, leaving the natives to fend
for themselves. When this informa-
ton filtered through to the main
land, the British had plenty of trou-
bles with the natives there, said
Brown.
Then he took up the scorched
earth policy, declaring that far from
destroying everything, the retreat
ing British had left one important
air field so little damaged that
the Japs were using it themselves
two days after the British left it.
Singapore was being bravely de-
Tended while he had been speaking.
He paid high tribute to the valor
and fighting qualities of the British
defenders.
But Singapore, he limited, was
Britain's Pearl Harbor--a story of
complacency, of unreadiness. of not
needing warnings.
The Bombay Qndia) Chronicle
added that Churchill's policy has
been marked by indefensible COM
placency, unpreparedness and in
competence.

ECONOMIC:
Economy Demanded

Led by Senator's Byrd and Tyd-
ings, a wave of criticism of nom
defense spending had followed ear
lier attacks on OCD "boondoggling"
and was meeting with considerable
interest from people in general who
were seeing one commodity after
another taken from their reach by
lack of supply.
Jesse Jones and Donald Nelson
told the people that the rubber situ-
alton was indeed severe. Senator
Brewster of Maine, in a statement,
had promised the public that the
Truman committee was conducting
a rubber investigation which would
"tear the Lid off the situation"
Nelson's WPB ruled that all pro-
duction of mechanical ice-boxes
must stop April 80, the refrigera-
tors following automobiles out Of the
public picture.
LaGuardia, having resigned from
the OCD, proceeded to urge that
most of the activities of Mrs. Roose-
velt's end of the OCD be trans
ferred to other agencies.
The WPB announced it was going
into the "auto graveyards" Of the
country, to which hopeful owners Of
secondhand cars were looking for
parts, in order to get scrap metal.
The petroleum situation, with
many tankers sunk by U-boats on
the eastern seaboard, was getting
serious, and oil was starting to
move by rail, 1000 tank cars roll
ing over the rails daily.

HEROES:
OF u. S. Jungles

The medal of the DISC. finally
was awarded to one Of the selectees
in the first draft when General Mac
Arthur pinned it on the chest of Ser
geant Leroy C. Anderson of the tank
corps, a lad from Milwaukee.
All Anderson did was to Eagerly
request" permission to take his unit
of small tanks and smash a nasty
group Of Japanese machine gun
nests.
Permission was granted. Ander-
son didn't ask his mates to 60 where
he would not, but made his own
reconnaissance tour first. Then he
moved with the other tanks to the
attack.
The enemy guns and crews were
wiped out. Anderson's own tank, in
the forefront of the battle, was put
out of action. He and his crew dis
mounted, continued the fight with
rifles and grenades. He was slight
ly wounded.
Frank Hewlett, a correspondent
who stayed with MacArthur's fight
ing heroes, wrote:
''Our boys have hurled back jap
anese assaults that a few weeks
back would have driven them into
retreat.
"Our men are now seasoned war
riors. They have been FLOODED and
have stood the test"
To the question of "where is the
main Japanese naval strength the
answer had come when Australian
fliers reported they had found them
off the coast of New Britain island,
300 miles north of Australia.
At the same time American flying
fortress planes had begun bombing
attacks on Jap ships in the Macas-
sar area, reported setting one large
ship afire and having damaged an
other.

JOHORE:
And Singapore

The story of the Johore causeway,
that granite pathway which con-
meets Singapore with the mainland,
was being pieced together from Brit
ish admissions and Japanese claims,
and was believed a major factor in
the black military page in Britain's
book that was the Malaga campaign.
The entire British defending army,
believed clipped down to some 3d.
000-odd fighting men during the re-
treat down Malaga, was moved over
the causeway to carry on the siege
Of Singapore.
Stories at the time related how
the intrepid engineers remained UNI
til the last to blow up and destroy
the cauSeway.
The Japs declared the British only
preached it" making a brief
break in the causeway which the
little men from Nippon repaired by
night, and then swarmed across to
drive the British back.
A second time, nearly week lat
err, British artillery tore the cause
way in two again.
And once more the Japs made
the repairs and sent trucks and men
on to the attack on the island.
The Japanese admitted obstinate
resistance" and "counter-attacks,"
but even the most sanguine British
commentators considered the odds
utterly prohibitive.

Gen. Claire Chennault, leader Of
the American s'Tiger" squadron ON
the Burma front, as his fliers
d0wned 48 Jap planes in two days.
Chennault became Chang Kali
shek's air force advisor early in 1871.
Playing the game of war as college
lads play football, General Chinese
Army Clair Chenault, former Texas
school teacher, and his American
"Tiger" squadron flying for Chang
Kai-shek reported they had downed
1856 Japanese planes during two
months on the Burma front.
They were the boys assigned to
keep the Burma road open and free
from attacks by Jap bombers.
The Japs sent over a formation OF
60. The Tigers got 48 of them in
two days. Only three Of their men
were lost--in two planes.
All his pilots were trained in U. S.
flying schools, and all held flying
commissions with the U. S. army,
being released before we went into
the war to fight for China.
They were organized last sum
mer. On Christmas they celebrated
with a ''bag" of 48 planes.
The first Jap flight of 60 planes
went into fight with the Tigers pur-
suing them far back into Thailand,
and downing nearly half of them. The
Japs came back the next day with
70 planes, and again a squadron OF
10 Tiger ships shot them to pieces,
accounting for a two-day total of 48.

MATERIALS:
Rushed to Fronts

America was launching a war
ship every day and rushing men and
material Of warfare to all fronts as
the determined national effort to win
the war with superior military pow
er gained momentum even as the
black news from the Southwest Pa
cific and other areas continued to
make American spirits even GRIM
mer.
Stories from the fronts of one ma
jor setback or another We'd for head
line space with great stories of hero
ism from those same fronts of the
men who were carrying the Stars
and Stripes into action.
One week-end's schedule, on the
home front, saw a 6,000-ton cruiser
launched on Saturday, a destroyer
ON Sunday, and a 35,000-ton battle
ship on Monday.
Naval authorities pointed out that
a launching a day would soon be
followed by the placing Of war;
ship a day in commission.
At the same time, from half a,
dozen ports of embarkation, train
loads of tanks, guns and munitions
Of war were going into black-hulled
merchant ships, to be conveyed to
the scenes of action.
Coincidentally, President Roose-
welt, in his White House office was
comforting long hours with II mill
tary and naval experts of the world,
putting teeth into the war effort.
Back of it all, from coast to coast,
men in the newest registration were
being called to the colors, to raise
our army of 100000 men to $780,
600 or even more.
From the Ford plant in Detroit

Much Of the news Of the war was
gloomy. The fall Of Singapore gave
Churchill his biggest headache since
the fall of France. The prime min

the escape of the Scharnhorst,

Brest heightened the gloom.
Why, screamed the British press.

throughout England. Why, re-echoed

SINKING U. s. TANKERs

oil taukerS OH the AtldutlC COdSI.
However, here are few important
facts about the situation which are
not military secrets.
First fact is encouraging. The
tankers sunk were old, small and
slow. All of them were 20 years old
or over, and the largest, Standard
Oil's India Arrow, was 1927 tons.
On the surface, this would indi-
cate that oil and gasoline losses on
the East coast would not be heavy.
However, this is not the case. For
all of the big, new American tank
ers have been taken over by the
navy. This was under an arrange
ment whereby the maritime COM
mission had lent the oil companies
around $500, 900 per vessel to build
fast modern tankers making 10
knots. This is so fast that they
can avoid submarines and also keep
up with the feet.
However, these new tankers, built
in cooperation with the navy. are
now with the fleet.
Buy Defense Bonds
HEAVY LOSSES
Two other factors indicate the inn
portance Of the sinkings on the At
lantic coast. One is an announce
ment made by the British last week
that sinkings for the entire Atlantic,
including the East Coast of the Unit
ed States, has been heavier in Janu-
airy than ever before. The other is tho
fact that comprehensive rationing
Of oil and gasoline for the East coast
is now a certainty. In other words,
oil and tanker losses have been very
heavy.
Reason for these losses is easy to
understand. It requires no official
explanation. AS everyone knows,
especially the enemy, we had to
rush various kinds of shipping to
the Pacific to replace the damage
done at Pearl Harbor. Also we had
a large number of warships busy
conveying vessels across the North
Atlantic.
Hence we have been caught short
handed on the East coast.
Note: Most people don't realize it,
but the oil shortage along the At
lantic could be relieved considera-
bly, by curtailment of tank car
rates on gasoline and fuel oil. Last
fall the rail rates were reduced on
crude oil but not on gasoline or
fuel oil.

IOOED NORMANDIE

HOODOOED NORMANDIE
There is not much consolation to
be had in connection with the virtual
sinking of the S. S. Normandie-ex-
cept for one thing.
The French had gone to a lot OF
expense to build the giant vessel SO
that she could be converted to an
airplane carrier in wartime. To this
end, special tunnels were arranged
on the side of the deck, to give space
for runways; especially large eleva-
tors were installed at each end OF
the ship; and the top deck consisted
of the biggest sports" deck in the
world.
However, U. S. naval engineers
decided that despite all the French
preparations, the Normandie's upper
decks were not strong enough to hold
a flock of planes. The French had
sacrificed reinforcements below, for
the purpose of beauty in the pas
senger salons.
AS troop ship the Normandie
was considered useful, but not near
ly so useful proportionately as a
medium-sized vessel, such as the
Manhattan. Reason: big ships draw
so much water that they could not
efficiently carry troops to Dakar or
West African ports. Small boats
would be necessary to take soldiers
and cargo ashore.
Also the Normandie was too big to
get through the Suez canal.
