Locher Issues Statement.
John Locher, president of the
Central Labor Union and secretary
of the Building Trades Council,
urged every member residing or
working in the District and nearby
communities to contribute to the
cause.
"It is my hope" he said, "that
every member of organized labor
will contribute the equivalent of at
least two days average pay to this
challenging campaign. We want
members of labor to provide its full
share of consideration for the boys
in service-at home and abroad
through USO; we want our fellow
members to accept full measure
of responsibility for war relief and
for efficient continuance of neces-
sary community services on the
home front.
Where practicable we want our
members to subscribe to the Com
munity War Fund through the
facilities extended them by their
employer. Otherwise we urge our
members to make either pledges of
cash contributions through their
shop stewards-and, most important,
we urge that contributions be made
now and reported to Fund campaign
headquarters in the Willard Hotel
before Tuesday, November a."

treat from Bengasi and Italian re-

1,500 Raids on Malta.
Malta, whose airline distance from
Sicily is measured in minutes, al
ready has undergone $500 separate
air raid alerts and hundreds of
actual attacks in this war. The
latest, according to the italian high
command, was heavy assault on
an airdrome there in which a fire
was caused and numerous planes
were destroyed.
This probably was the work of
German planes based in Sicily,
whose nearest coast is less than so

Allied bombers have blasted jap
anese forces on Kadu Island, in
the Salween River estuary be-
tween occupied Moulmein and
the railroad city Of Martaban to

All the planes returned safely, the

formed by the SalweenN River in
Eastern Burma, around the Gulf OF
Martaban from Rangoon.
(Since the communique men

The japanese evidently were at
tempting to use the island as q

an Army headquarters communique
said the front line situation was un-

British Imperial Forces withdrawn
from Moulmein were holding posi-

evacuated city, and dug in behind
this natural barrier-150 miles by
land from Rangoon-for a deter
mined bitter-end resistance to gain
time for the building up Of the mill
tary power Of Burma.
A British communique yesterday
said the situation on the Salween
front appeared to be stabilized after
an effective evacuation Of Moulmein
in which British losses were kept low
despite heavy japanese shelling and

b u e ASSOCIATED fIeSS.
CAIRO, Feb. 2.-The British
have fallen back about 100 miles
from Bengasi under attacks by
Axis forces "in considerable
strength" the Near East COM
munique acknowledged today.
The war bulletin mentioned fight
ing at Maraua, IS miles east Of Ben
gasi, and in the Slonta area, which
is about 10 miles still farther north
east.
tMaraua, roughly midway be-
tween Bengasi and Derna on the
hump of Cirenaica, lies east of
BARGE which Axis communiques
reported today also has fallen to
German Field Marshal Gen.
Erwin Rommers troopsD
At Maraua, however, the British
said, the l1th Infantry Brigade car
ried out a successful counterattack
lin which many casualties were in
f1icted on the enemy" and counter
attacked also to check the enemy
in the Slonta area.
Brigade Fights Way Through.
The communique said the 7th
Indian Infantry Brigade, which had
held Bengasi, fought its way almost
intact" through Axis territory to
reach eastern bases, but that en-
gineer and other units left behind
to demolish installations in the lost
port probably had been captured.
Although the communique said
the 4th Indian Division was with
drawing in the highlands east of
BARGE "in close contact with the
enemy who is following up this
movement in considerable strength. "
it indicated that British forces of
some size were passed by the Axis
advance and were receiving air sup
port.
At Msus, southeast of Bengasi, it
said, imperial mobile columns re-
manned on the offensive yesterday
and captured four enemy vehicles
with their crews.
Throughout the course of yes
terday's operation" it added, "our
air forces continued to render ef-
fective support to operations on land

Half Billion Loan
For China Asked

Expected Today
By BLAIR ROLES.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt today asked
Congress to approve a $500,000,-
600 loan to China in order to
bolster the United Nations war
against the Axis in the Far East.
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote letters to
Vice President Wallace and
Speaker Rayburn asking for
swift action, and it was under
stood a resolution for the loan
would be placed before the House
and Senate this afternoon.
Democratic and Republican lead
erS from the Capitol, meeting Sat-
urday with Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau and Federal Loan
Administrator Jones, agreed to rush
the loan resolution to hurried
passage. Speaker Rayburn will in
troduce the proper resolution. White
House Secretary Stephen Early said.
Economy Severely Shaken.
The administration plans to use
the 100000, 900 for direct assistance
to China in bolstering the internal
Chinese economy, which has been
severely shaken by the war during
the past four years, it was learned.
The decision to make the money
available was based on reports sent
back to Washington from Chung
king by Emanuel Fox of the Treas
ury Sterilization Board, who has
been in China on special eco
nomic mission.
China, it was said here, is suffer-
ing from imitation which makes diff
hcult the problem of the Chang
kai-shek government in feeding and
paying the army and in supporting
civilian morale. Imitation has been
growing steadily since the Japanese
occupied most of the Chinese coastal
regions and thus cut off China from
her principal sources of ordinary
revenue.
The United States Government, in
offering the loan feels that helping
China fight imitation helps the
United Nations fight the Axis.
The exact details of how the
moaey will be made available will
be worked out later, it was said
authoritatively.
Unlike Previous Loans.
1t is the plan not to use any Of
the $500, O,000,0 900 for direct war aid
to China such as financing the pur-
! chase of tanks etc. Thus this loan
falls into different category from
! previous loans made available to
China by the Dnited States during
the course Of the Sino-Japanese
/ war.
The Presidents letter to Mr.. WAL
lace read as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Vice President:
Responsible officials both of this
Government and Of the government
of China, have brought TO my at
tention the existence of urgent need
for the immediate extension to
China Of economic and financial
assistance, going beyond in amount
and different in form from such aid
as Congress has already authorized.
I believe that such additional assist
ance would serve to strengthen
China's position as regards both her
internal economy and her capacity
in general to function with great
military effectiveness in our common
effort.
Il urge, therefore, the passage by
Congress of appropriate legislation
to this effect and attach hereto a
suggested draft Of a joint resolu-
ton which will accomplish this pur-
pose"
