been made for the rationing OF
hstween coz, c0o md 7oe, 900
new automobiles, and that new
ears produced the balance Of this

CHUNGKING, Jan. 14-(F-
The Chinese Press declared to-
day that signs of British and AM
erican reinforcements in the Far
East were lacking, that the situ-
alton allowed of no optimism,
and turned severe criticism upon
the conduct of the war in the Pa
cific.
British authorities in Malaga
have shown themselves wanting

tion," was the blunt assertion of
the Chinese army organ, Sac
Tang Pao.
THE term Pacific War ap-
peared in publications 20 years
ago and was the subject of con-
slant discussion in Japan, yet
Americans were caught Off
guard at Pearl Harbor, and the
Philippines are left to look after

MiIitory Situotion

10 RudsIy Upset

Germany's reverses on the
Russian front have upset the
whole Axis applicant, usually re-
liable informants reported from
Europe today.
They traced to the plight of
the Nazi armies on the Eastern
Front the following:
1. That Turkey still bars the
Dardenelles to Axis warships;
2. That A xis reinforcements
for North Africa have not travel
led through France and Spain;
8. That signs of dissension
have appeared m ong Ger
many's satellite allies.
Germany, wanting to get the
Italian fleet through the OAR
dsnelles to attack the Russian
Black Sea naval base of Sevas-
topol, has intensified pressure on
Turkey for free use of the
Straits, these sources said.
WIDE PREPARATIONS
They pointed out that Nazi
troops again are concentrating in
Bulgaria, that planes are be ing
massed in Greece and that other
preparations are un der way
similar to those Of the Balkan
campaign q year. ago, g..
Hut, they said, there d one
differences - the concentrations
- smaller because the bulk Of
the Mani army Is occupied trying
10 hold the Russian front.
Whether Germany would try
military action to win Turkish
concessions, they said, appeared
TO depend largely on how far
the Soviet front can be stabilized
within the next few weeks.
Military observers said reor-
ganization of the German army
command and the d egree to
which the Nazis' Balkan allies
can be induced to participate
also were factors.
Reports of travellers from
France and other parts of Europe
indicated the extent Of German
efforts to remedy the Russian
situation.

The seven member commits

ganizational meeting last night
to suspend the project of Great
ing a unified park and parkway
syste m in five southeastern
counties for the duration of the
war.
Chairman Harry B. Earhart
and G. Donald Kennedy, state
highway commissioner and
member at Large of the authority
board, said they would confer
with federal officials next week
in New York about placing the
project under supervision OF the
newly-created Federal Public
Works Reserve.
Kennedy said the new agency
was arranging for projects
throughout the country to soften
the shock of postwar unemploy-
ment. Authority board members
decided that during the war
their work would be confined
to surveying and planning tie
proposed parkway.
The State Supreme Court last
week affirmed the constitution
atty of the Parkway act.
Board m e m b ers said they
would ask treasurers of fiva,
cornstieS to appropriate only half
Of the $162, 900 previously de-
handed for the 19A2 operating
budget. Part of the 1912 budget
would be used to employ q
small engineering staff to sur
vey possible park projects to be
constructed after the war.
In addition to Kennedy and
Earhart, who represents Wash

members are: Bruce Mcpherson,
