BRITISH HANGING
 ON AT SINGAPORE

SINGAPORE - Behind the pro- teetion of Johore Strait British ar- tillerymen traded punches today with Japanese batteries pointed at Singapore Island and silenced an unspecified number of Japanese guns. The British scored this tri- umph despite the enemy's continual bombing and strafing from the air.
 The Japanese are doubtless count ing on gaining domination of the air by ruthless bombing and straf- ing to pave the way for any attempt to force the strait. Nearly 800 ci- williams have been injured in the past two days, 62 fatally. They are virtually without shelter. But the Japanese have not yet put down the British challenge in the air. Bri- tish fighting planes intercepted a large formation of enemy planes ov- CT Singapore and scored hits on at least three. 2

WrangeIl Time Not Changed By
 Daylight Saving

Daylight saving time goes into ef- feet at ? a. m. Monday, Feb. g, but Wrangell clocks will remain the same as several years ago Wrangell set its time ahead and is now an hour ahead of meridian time. The City Council at its meeting last night decided not to change the time, at least for the present Ju- neau took similar action this week and it was understood other South east towns would do the same.
 Acting Gov. E. L. Bartlett sent out the following message this week in connection with the time change:
 Senate bill 2160 was signed by President Roosevelt on Jan. 20. Known as the daylight saving law 1t requires advancement of Alaska clocks at 2 o'clock the morning of Feb. g. The act shall cease to be in effect six months after termination of the war or at such earlier date as Congress shall by concurrent rs- solution designate. Advancing of clocks, Is of course, not necessary in those communities which have previously on their own motion de Viated from sun time by adopting daylight saving at some earlier date"

LAPS MAKING PROGRESS TO CUT BURMA ROAD

RANGOON - The Japanese have forced patrol crossings of the Sal. ween river above fallen Moulmein in a developing thrust apparently aimed at Thaton 40 miles north and intended to cut off the British gar rison at Martaban.
 Such crossings were officially ac- knowledged by the British and 1t also was disclosed that Paan, 30 miles above Moulmein an the east bank of the Salween had been in enemy hands for some days but it was not until yesterday that it was assaulted by British bombers.
 Nevertheless, British troops were said to be in offensive action. In some sectors patrols had thrust into enemy lines on the east bank of the Salween. Overnight Japanese attacks on an airdrome north of Rangoon were declared to have left neither damage nor casualty.
