Remember an All-America football
player for Army back in 1926 by the
name Of Trap Trapnell? He's still
playing for the Army, but today he's
known as Major Thomas j. H. Trap
nell. He's one of the heroic Philip
pine defenders who have turned the
Japanese attack into something
more than a pushover.
Trapnell's latest feat has earned
him the distinguished service cross.
AS his sister in-law, Mrs. S. W..
Trapnell, said at Baltimore when in
formed of h is decorator: I'm
thrilled but I can't say I'm overly
surprised. 1t sounds just like him."
The story, as relayed to the army
from General Douglas MacArthur's
headquarters in the Philippines, was
this:
Trapnell's cavalry unit was en-
gagged in rear guard operations
against the enemy at Roasrio in La
Union Province on December %.
The Japanese, hell-bent-f leather,
were racing after Trapnelps unit
with tanks and infantry. Calling

States Attorney Thomas
c. Flood of Middlesex
County Makes Charges

Hartford, Conn.,. Jan. 22-(UP)-
States Attorney Thomas G. Flood,
Middlesex county, charged today
there was "laxity, dishonesty, dis
loyalty, negligence and improper SUI
pervision" in the State Highway de-
partment resulting in substantial
financial loss to the state over many
years"
In letter to Gov. Hurley re-
porting on his investigation of al
legged irregularities of Alton E. Col
lier, East Haddam, superintendent
of bridges of the highway depart
ment, Flood said:
1T would seem that due diligence
and careful supervision would have
resulted in the discovery of the all
legged irregular acts many years ago
and therefore would not have now
precluded any action by my office.
Indeed, it is entirely probable I'M

would have been no cause for in
vestigation."

BY STANLEY JONES
limited Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


Singapore, Jan. 22-(UP)-Japa-
nese invasion troops reeled back
from a mass British imperial am
bush on the eastern Malaga front
today as rocket-fast Hurricane fight
er planes, freshly thrown into action
over Singapore, shot down five
japanese bombing planes and dam
aged one fighter in smashing a fresh
attack on the city.
A terrific blast of gun fire from
all over the island met second wave
of japanese planes, estimated to
number at least 80, and drove them
off before they could drop more than
few of their bombs.
A strong attacking force of Brit
ish bombing and fighting planes, in
possibly their biggest attack of the
war, wrecked devastation on Japa-
nese transports, trucks and staff
cars, on the areas behind the
Japanese lines.
The bombers left trail of wrecked
vehicles behind them and racing
fighters, following up the attack,
swept down and raked the roads
with machine gun fire.
A communicate issued by general
headquarters here revealed the mass
ambush on the east coast of Johore
Sultanate and the smashing of the
airplane attack on Singapore by the
Hurricanes, which had moved down
German attacking craft in the battle
for Britain and now had arrived
here to challenge tn eenemy.
Japanese Came Close
The Japanese had pushed down
thes east coast from the Endau area,
rs miles above Singapore.
Strong imperial forces, perfectly
camouflaged, awaited the enemy in
the area north of Mersing, which is
"a miles above the strait which
separates Singapore island from the
mainland.
