Japanese Soldiers Wear Breast Plates On Desperate Missions In Philippines

tonic, Texas, commands the No. enclosure of the war camp. He is a World war veteran who served over seas with the engineers corps and arrived in the Philippines shortly before the outbreak of war, being assigned to Nichols field as an as- sistant transportation officer. The army is making every effort to pro- vide fair treatment to the prison CTS. A small stream has been damned at the lower end of the camp to give them place to bathe.
 I inspected the camp in Madden's company Is asked two young Jap anese soldiers how they were being treated. They said: "Okay." That's an American word which most of the prisoners know. They usually know please" thank you" and can ask for cigarettes and matches
 Most of the prisoners are receiv- ing better food than they got in the Japanese army. They sleep in pup tents. if they wish. although the weather is mild. They hove been given blankets and toilet articles.

ONE STAMP WILL
 GET YOUR SUGAR
Each Stamp Is Good for One Weeks Allotment
 Under Law

Washington, Feb. 4-(UP)-Spe- cial stamps, each good for one weeks allotment, will be used in consumer rationlng of sugar, the Office of Price Administration said today.
 The stamps will be issued by local rationing boards, probably in book form. A book of stamps will cover at least three-month period There will be a separate book for each individual sugar user. Thus, fan- fly of three would receive three books.
 While the exact amount of sugar to be allowed each individual has not been established, OPM Admin is.rator Leon Henderson said last month that it probably would be approximately 12 ounces weekly.
 The sugar stamps would be is sued when members of family register with local rationing boards, which already are allotting new tires to certain specified civilian consumers such as doctors and nurses.
 Stamps will be issued for uni- form amount regardless of whether an individual is child or an adult, OPA officials said.
 Under the proposed plan, fam fly of four including two adults and two children, could obtain three pounds weekly if the 12-ounce esti- mate is finally adopted.
 Not Complete Yet
 The OPA has not yet decided who actually will issue the sugar stamps, although it appears cer- tain that 1t will not be done by either local post offices or the com- munity retailers.
 OPA officials said that the de- lay in issuing sugar stamps, which may push the formal start of ra- tioning over into March, was al- most entirely due to the tremen-

Waterbury Blackout
 Plans Unknown Here
Report in Newspapers Says About March 1 or } But Officials in City Do Not Know Anything
 About Such Report

Local Civilian Defense officials today were completely in the dark about plans for & city-wide black out of Waterbury early next month. Their only information, they said came from the newspapers and they had received no instructions about proceeding with plans for q black out March 1 or 5.
 Chief Air Raid Warden James J Curtin. whose staff of wardenS still has many vacancies to be filled, said that he had no official word of blackout plans. Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch, chairman of the local blackout committee, was i'll at home and could not be reached.
 From headquarters of the State Defense Council at Hartford came word that five majoT blackouts in various parts of the state. were planned for March l and 3. Homes, stores. offices and other structures must have all lights turned off dur ing the blackout period; autos must abuse their lights and pull to the curb. Street lights will be left on, as will be lights in defense plants. Success of the test will be observed by army planes.
 Another session of the daytime school for air rad WardenS was he'd at the State theater this morning, with attendance reported as much better than last week. Lecturers were Arthur Craig, who spoke on incendiary bombs, and Lieut.. Will liam Kinney md Private James J. Moran of the fire department, who spoke on fire precautions.

 This was the first official dis closure of casualties since Secre- tary of Navy Frank Knox an- nounced after the attack on Pearl Harbor that 2,729 enlisted men and officers had been killed and 656 wounded.
 The new disclosure was made dur ing open hearings on a House-ap- proved bill to permit the con;in- uance of allotments to depend0ats of Americans captured by the en- emy. The spokesman, an officer of the Bureau of Navigation, gave the following figures on American loss es:
 56 naval officers supposed to be prisoners of war"

HOW MACARTHUR
 HIT POKER GAME
As Officer of the Day, He Used Most Polite But
 Military Words

Denver, Feb. 4. - (UP) - Col. Thomas N. Gimperling, district army recruiting officer, recalled today how Gen. Douglas MacArthur broke up forbidden poker session at the United States Military Academy 39 years ago.
 Hugh S. Johnson, newspaper col umnist, Gimberling and several other cadets had left dance on 8 warm spring night in 1903 to play poker in a locker room. The rat- tie of sabre caused them to snatch bath mat from the floor to cover the chips and cards.
 Gentlemen" said officer of the day MacArthur, one look at the gathering convinces me that you have i'll hand matters more serious than the promenade.
 However, if were you, l would refrain from studying military tac- tics after classes and enjoy the TO- mantle recreation prepared for you"
 He saluted and left the room.

Jap Battleship Reported Hit Twice by Torpedoes
 of American Warship
BY EVERETT R. HOLES United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

BY EVERETT R. HOLLIS United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, February 4. (UP) = American and Filipino troops have sharply repulsed" renewed Japanese attacks along the west coast of Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines, the War Depart ment announced today. Striking b. ok az ai II s t Japanese efforts to drive his forces from the Island of Luzon and back upon Fort Correeidor ill Manila Bay, General Douglas Mac Arthur was said in war commit nique to be mopping up "tattered remnants" of Japanese troops ln the jungle-like regions of lower Bataan.
 The War Department communi- que, indicating constant fighting on Bataan, reported that the main Japanese blows were being directed against MacArthur'S left flank - near the west coast where enemy landing attempts have been repeat edly halted by shell fire and aerial bombingS.
 Delayed Report
 The communique, citing a delayed report" said that seven U. s. Army flying fortress bombers attacking Japanese shipping Monday in the Dutch Bolneo oil port of Balik Papan sank two and probably three enemy transports.
 These Sinkings were believed to be those reported Tuesday in a com munique of General Sir Archibald Wavell, supreme commander of the United forces ill the Far East.
 On Gen. MacArthur's left flank on the lower Bataan peninsula units of the 18th Japanese Kimura dlvis- ion launched a night attack Tues day night but were hurled back de- cisively, it was stated.
 Our troops continued to mop up tattered remnants of the Japanese who had previously landed on the west coast or who had infiltrated behind our lines," the communique reported.
 These enemy troops were from the Tatori group and Kimura di- vision and were found in isolated pockets. No endorsements were able to reach them.
 "The enemy had attempted to supply them intermittently with food and ammunition dropped by parachute. However, most of these supplies fell into our hands
 Humane Treatment
 The War department said that Japanese prisoners expressed great surprise at their humane treat ment at the hands of MacArthur's men, since they had been told that the Americans would kill all prison CTS.
 Japanese aerial activity over Mac Arthur's lines, dWindling in recent days, was said to have been limited during the past 24 hours to a few hit-and-run bombing attacks.
 The American and Filipino des lenders were heartened and bolster- ed by newly organized battalion of marines and sailors, and a tor
