 Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith"
 The Union was never more close ly knit together" than it is today, the President said predicting that the response of this country will be sustained until "our security is as sured."
 The President reviewed the poli- cies of criminal conquest" motivat- ing the tripartite nations. He said their plans provided for ultimate domination, not of any one section of the world, but of the whole earth and all the oceans on it."
 Admittedly. we have been faced with hard choices," the President said.
 "It was bitter, for example, not to be able to relieve the heroic and historic defenders of Wake Island" It was bitter for us not to be able to land 100000 men and 1000 ships in the Philippine Islands.
 Difficult choices may have to be made in the months to come. We will not shrink from such decisions. We and those united with us will make those decisions with courage and determination"

 TO STOP UNREST

Vichy campaign with a thin veneer of pseudo-S -Socialistic batter designed to appeal to the millions of social ists.
 The propaganda is carried on with high pressure tactics upon French workmen who are persuaded to go to Germany to work in war factories. They are given high wage and good working conditions and conditions which, they are as- sured, are typical of Germany un- der the National Socialist regime.
 Hiring Many French
 In France the Germans were hir- ing thousands of French workers at 15O francs (about $3) per day, to work on Notifications, airfields, mill itary roads, etc. These Workmen get special food and tobacco allow ances. They earn in three days as much as they would get in a month on a French farm and some are said to be impressed favorably.
 The Germans were said to be fearful of the gains being made by the underground Communist move ment which, with it's policy of un- compromising opposition to the Germans and its emphasis on direct action, was said to have won many followers who had been disaffected by Vichy's temporizing policy.
 The campaign in Rumania was reported to take the form of vio- lently anti-American, anti-Semitic propaganda. This drive was launched when the Germans dis covered that the violently anti Jewish measures which they had forced the Rumanian government to adopt had backfired by creating sympathy for the Jews.
 The new propaganda was said to blame the United States and the Jews for all of Rumania's troubles.
 Despite the reinforced German propaganda, defeatism and anger against Germany were rife in Ru- mania.
 Rumanians Angry
 The Germans, it was reported, had made German currency the only valid exchange medium in the Russian area between the Dniester and Bug rivers. The Rumanians saw that despite their sacrifice of tens of thousands of men in the war against Russia they were not going to get this rich territory.
 In Norway. according to infor- nation reaching Norwegian refugee circles in London, the Germans have been rushing in troops ard planes to guard against British commando raids and anti-Nazi out breaks by the populace. The Nor wegian Quisling faction launched a campaign for sharp reprisals against the Norwegian population on grounds they offer aid to the British raiders.

the plain upon the hard-pressed Japanese and used their own light artillery to good advantage. It was the first time thath the Chinese had found themselves wit:l artillery su- periolity in a major battle.
 May Not Get All
 We may not be able to annihi- late the entire body" the military spokesman said, but we will pursue vigorously those who manage to escape"
 The spokesman said the Japanese had used the Yale-in-China cam pus and hospital as headquarters in the Changsha area, compelling the Chinese artillery to shell the buildings. Little damage was caused however, until the retreating Jap anese troops set the buildings afire, he said.
 Wang Shih-Chech, minister of in- formation, speaking for the Chi nese government, praised the crea- ton of supreme command in the Pacific China theater in less than four weeks of war-instead of four years, as in the World War. This, he said, showed the confidence of the democratic leaders in each other.
 He announced the formation in Chungking yesterday of a united information committee of the anti aggression powers, ABCD, of which the Chinese minister of information would serve as chairman and CO., ordinate the anti-aggressors' pub licity efforts. He expected that similar committees would be es- tablished in Washington and Lon don.

had always made it clear that he was ready to go to the limit in op- posing any violation or She agree nent of April 8, 1940, at the time of the German invasion, by which the Germans promised not to in- terfere in Denmark's internal af- fairs.
 The newspaper Daily Mail here, Nh a dispatch dated, 'The French Frontier" asserted today that un- occupied France was in greater per- Il of being taken over by the Ger mans than at any time since the June 1940 arrnistice.
 Radio Paris last night broadcast repeatedly the bitter attack made yesterday on the Vichy government by Marcel Deat, the collaborationist leader in whose political headquar- ters an official was wounded by a terrorist yesterday. Deat saw the hand of the United States in Vichy's alleged changed attitude toward col Liberation.
 There were reports direct from sClAy, lloWcFtI, WlllCil Wele SuUJeoI to the interpretation that the gov ernmeht was not only opposing German demands for closer collab- oration but that 1t was tending the other way.
 One was that the government had ordered the release from concen- tration camps in the Seine Et Disc department of the Paris occupied area, of IA communist militants" held as part of the Vichy repression campaign, on the ground that they had adhered to the Vichy regime.
 Another was that the court of ap- peals at Mines had reduced the sen- tences on a son and daughter of French Gen. De La Vivigerie. Both had been given long terms for spreading Free French propaganda. The court reduced the sentence against the generals son, Jean, to three months in prison and fine of 200 francs (nominally $5, ac- tually much less) and that of the daughter to six months and 150 francs (nominally $375) fine.

rect bomb hits, one Japanese de- stroyer was sunk and an uncertain additional number of Japanese naval craft believed damaged.
 On land the war department, re- porting on the military situation as of 9:3O a. m. EST, today, said that Japanese attacks have slackened temporarily but that pressure con- tinues constant against MacArthur' $ lines.
 No Detailed Picture
 The war department gave no de- tailed picture of land operations.
 Macarthur is known however, to be holding shortened lines in Ba- taan province and part of Pam pagna province with his rear pro- tected by the Bataan mountains and Corregidor. which guards the en- trance to Manila Bay.
 Today,s communique reported that Japan's air bombardment was cen- tered against Corregidor and the port of Mariveles, on the south coast of Bataan province, four and a half miles across the north channel of Manila Bay from Corregidor.
 The Japanese, it would appear were seeking to disrupt communica- ton between MacArthur's Bataan positions and the strong garrison es- tablished on Corregidor.
 The Japanese attack on the Man. fla bay Qualifications was general the war department said, and pre- sumably included bombardment of small Fort Drum which lies South- east of Corregidor.
 The war department had no report on operations in theaters other than the Philippines.
 May Tie Up Japs
 American militia ry experts, cheered by MacArthur's skillful tac- tics in inflicting heavy land de- feat upon the Japanese, noted that as long as he can keep fighting, he will tie up an estimated 12 Japan csc divisions-possibly IFS, ,000 men in the Philippines, preventing Japan from using them against Singapore.

 (The Rome radio, heard in Lon don by United Press, broadcast an Italian Stefani News Agency report that Japanese troops had occupied Kuala Selangor.
 (The British radio said it is IL: clear whether the Japanese hcvc made fresh landing at Kuala Se langor or infiltrated south from the Bernam estuary. The broadcast, heard in New York by Columbia Broadcasting System, quoted other Singapore dispatches that the new British line was believed to be south of the town of Bibor, about 70 miles north of Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur is ITS miles northwest of Singapore.
 Authorities on Singapore Island yesterday requested the utmost economy in the use of water, even for baths, and the washing of vehi cles was prohibited.
 Not So Alarming
 This is not unduly alarming, be- cause Singapore has several we'll filled reservoirs, connected with al- most inexhaustible supplies in the hills of lower Johore. However. damage to the miles of pipelines must always be considered, it was said.
 A party of commandos, which led by an Australian officer, pene- trated behind the Japanese lines, were relating their adventures.
 More AttaCKs In LiBya
 Cairo, Jan. - (U.P0 - British land and air forces have intensi- fled attacks on German and Italian troops still holding defensive posi- tions in the Halfaya- -Solum area of the Egypt-Libya frontier and have renewed pressure on main Axis forces in the Agedabia region 90 miles south of BenghaA. British general headquarters for the Middle East said today.
 Prisoners taken at Bardia, be tween Tobruk and the Egypt-Libya frontier, now total 1904 Germans and 5,278 Italians, in addition to 900 wounded of both nationalities. the communique said.
 The Royal Air Force was especial ly active yesterday, hammering three Axis pockets in the Halfaya and Solum areas.

French Nazis Bitter

Vichy, Jan. 6-(UP)-French col labora tionists ill German-held Paris opened new attack on the United States today, charging that it would have attacked French Africa had not Japan entered the war
 The attack was a development of savage denunciations of the Vichy government for its failure to col 1aborate more fully with Germany.
 Increasing tension between the Paris collaborationists and the gov ernment here was marked, as the new attack was made, by disclosure that a terrorist had walked into the headquarters of collaborationist leadpr Marcel Deat at Paris yester- day and, using a razor, slashed se- verely the only man he found there.
 Jean Luchaire, collaborationist ed- itor, led today's attack on the United States and on Armiral William D.. Leahy, its ambassador here.
 Ill an editorial which covered half the first page of the German controlled Paris newspaper Les Mouxeaux Temps, Luchaire accused the United States of trying through Leahy to induce France to play the role of voluntary suicide" for its benefit and that of Great Brit ain by tolerating CT actually taking part in British American action in Africa.
 Admiral Leahy Hit
 Calling Leahy "a Mephisto with leaning toward Faust" Luchaire asserted that he had encouraged Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, Vichy chief of state, to resist broad CT collaboration with Germany.
 He alleged that the United States and Britain intended to land expedi- tionary forces in French west and north Africa this winter but said Japan's entry into the war had forced them to abandon their plan.
 As an alternative, he said, they sought to provoke rising of French forces in Africa against the Axis.
 Luchaire, developing an attack on the Vichy regime which Deat began in a radio speech yesterday, said that If Germany got angry at con- tinued Vichy failure to collaborate It might decide to chop up France land split the French African en- oire.
 He warned further that if Ger many negotiated peace with the United States and Britain it would be to Frances disadvantage unless Franc meaentime fulfilled it's prom ises of collaboration.
 The razor attack on the official at Deats headquarters was the third terrorist outbreak in Paris in "A hours.
 It came only few hours after Deat's radio speech in which he savagely attacked the Vichy govern ment charged, that it's policy en- dangered the French empire, and hinted darkly that he and his fol- lowers would intervene if necessary.
 Latest Attack
 AS Paris police investigated the latest attack, Vichy interior min ister Pierre Pucheu, a collaboration ist, took person charge of the in- vestigation into the death of his right hand man Yves Paringeaux, whose battered body was found alongside the railroad tracks 30 miles southeast of Paris early yes- terday.
 Paringeaux's body arrived in Paris last night and the coroner, assisted by surgical specialists, began a post-mortem examination to deter mine the cause of d cath There had been preliminary inquest yester- day at Flamboin, the little town near which Paringaux' body was

are located in Borneo and the northern Dutch East Indies, 400 to 600 miles away. This is within easy flying range of the big four-motored Boeing and Consolidated bombers which can fly twice that distance round-trip and still carry heavy load of high explosive.
 The Army reported that the American flyers spotted concen- tration of Japanese naval craft off Davao where the Japanese landed about 10 days ago. Three square hits were scored on a battleship. Other Warships were also hit bu. the exact damage was not ascer- tained.
 All planes returned to their base.
 The Army did not indicate the extent of damage to the Japanese dreadnaught but three direct hits with high explosive bombs would be certain to cause extensive injury even if the ship remains af1oat.
 High Altitude
 The lack of specific details hinted that the attack may have been a high altitude attack in which the planes utilized to advantage the vaunted American bombsight.
 On land MacArthur was demon strating the mastery of tactics and strategy which won him the su- preme American command in the Far East.
 Meeting strong Japanese attack on his, short, sturdy defense lines anchored in Bataan province, his men killed at least 700 Japanese while suffering only slight losses.
 MacArthur's exact fighting lines have not been revealed. However 1t appeared likely that the battle in which the Japanese suffered their most heavy losses of the campaign was fought in Pampanga province, northeast of Bataan. where Mac Arthur may have stationed rear guard and scouting forces to hinder Japanese attempts to move down upon his Bataan stronghold.
 This possibility was strengthened by the war departments statement that a Japanese north-south pincers movement had closed but that American and Philippine troops were not in the jaws"
 Failing to trap Macarthur, said the communique, the Japanese were forced to attempt their costly but futile frontal attack.

 For Scandinavia London, Jan. 6-(UP)-Increased diplomatic activity in Scandinavia, by both the democracies and the axis powers, prompted British sources to day to predict imminent develop ments" in Sweden and Finland which may affect the course of the war.
 | The nature of the developments was not disclosed but 1t was known that the United States and Britain increased their diplomatic staffs in Sweden after American entry into the war. It was understood that the | Germans were refusing to accept this situation with equanimity. It is natural to expect, these sources said, that Britain and the United States are bringing pressure in every possible to induce Fin land to withdraw from the war. Confirmation of this was seen in de- nial of the Finnish high command that it intends to give up fighting. There have been reports from Hel- sinki that the Finnish people are growing more and more dissatisfied with their lot in the war.
 Sewers Relations

 "The consolidation of the united nations total war effort against our common enemies is being achieved" :" he said, adding that this was the purpose of war council talks held during the last two weeks in Wash ington, Moscow and Chungking.
 Plans have been laid here and in the other capitals for coordinated and cooperative action by all the united nat!ons-military action and economic action" He reviewed the establishment Saturday of 8 unified southwestern Pacific command, saying that there will be continuation of conferences and consultations among military staffs" of the united nations "so that the plans and operations of each will fit into a general strategy de- signed to cru . the enemy"
