infantry units were landed under
heavy fire of the defenders, the

While it seems possible. there is
no confirmation late today from
Singapore in unconfirmed round
about reports that japanese para
chutists have been dumped behind

Dutch East Indies. The attack on
Batavia may preclude an attempt

Soviet Marshal Semyon TimoShenkO
