Scrap

Transit, Pepco and Mr.. Lynn, Cap
itol architect.
Until one central clearing house
for the collection of District scrap
totals is established it will be i'm
possible to gauge exactly how much
metal Washington is sending to the
mills. Mr.. Walker promised work in
setting up such a clearing house
would begin Monday.
There is little doubt, however,
that the District has passed it's
quota-and probably by a greater
margin than the unofficial tabula-
ton indicates.
October Yield Excluded.
One proof of this is that none of
the Salvage Committee collections
since October lie days ago-is
included in present totals. Mr..
Walker has already said he ,esti-.

Mr.. Lynn announced today that
Federal legislative buildings and
the Supreme Court have rounded
up Isl55, 300 pounds of scrap, In.
cluding $500 pounds of rubber,
which has been deducted from the
scrap metal table shown above.
The collection included 1904, 900
pounds of iron and steel, $4,000
pounds of brass, bronze and copper,
and $500 pounds of aluminium.
Mr.. Lynn said a "few thousand
pounds" of the collection went to

Salvage Leaders
Repeat Request
For Metal Tubes

District salvage chiefs issued an
other urgent plea yesterday for local
users of products sold in collapsible
metal tubes to turn in their empty
tubes for coupon receipts"
Approximately 500 Metropolitan
Area druggists have been provided
with the coupon receipts so that per-
sons holding the tubes may speed up
the flow of tin materials into Gov
ernment processing channels.
The coupon receipt is redeemable
on the purchase of a new item in q
collapsible tube.
Heretofore persons have been pre-
vented from buying articles in tin
tubes unless they have surrendered
an old tube at the time Of the pur-
chase.

Sub Torpedoes, Shells
American Vessel; Three
Lives Lost in Tragedy

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
(UP) German submarines
prowling the Atlantic coast
from Nova Scotia to Florida
struck new blows today at
the tanker fleet-those oil-laden
ships so essential to the American
war effort.
The 1886 ton Socony Vacuum
tanker Rochester was the latest
submarine victim.
Thirty-one survivors of the tanker
reached Norfolk this morning. They
said three of their shipmates ap-
parently were lost when a German
submarine torpedoed and shelled
the ship until it sank. Those listed
as missing were Joseph Sutherland,
San Francisco: Leonard Reierson.

to evacuate the mainland and take
up defense of Singapore island
where they promised to fight to the
end or until reinforcements ar
rived.
IN BURMA, the japanese pushed
to within less than 100 miles OF
the Burma Road, forcing British
evacuation of the strategic port Of
Moulmein. Allied forces fell back
to defend the east bank of the
SalWeen river.
IN THE DUTCH EAST INDIES,
a big-scale japanese invasion struck
at the important naval-air base OF
Amboina, where a furious battle
ragged against enemy air, sea and
land forces.
IN NEW GUINEA, the Australian
inundated towns of Bulolo and SAL
amaua were heavily attacked as the
japanese air force spread its oper-
ations over the islands approaches
to vital Torres Strait.
All of these Japanese blows-ap-
parently gathering momentum and
gambling everything on an early
triumph-were aimed at the most
vital communication lines and bases
of the United Nations. Counter
measures were being taken by the
Allied supreme command on Java
island but the outcome seemed to
depend on how soon reinforcements
in large numbers especially air
and naval units-could arrive.
The japanese spearheads have
pushed deeply into the defense
screen which must be held along
the East Indies island line if the
Japanese offensive is to be frus-
trated
The penetration, although deep
at some points, has not yet broken
up the line and dispatches SAID
that Allied forces were fighting
furiouSly against the spearheads.
There was no effort on the part
of United Nations sources, however
to minimize the seriousness of the
situation.
