9Th Fire Strikes
At Stacks Here;
Company BaffIed

Another flax straw fire
at the California Central
Fibre Corp, the second this
week and the fifth since last
Labor day, Tuesday night
consumed 100 tons of straw valued
at $3.50, and prompted Vice Presi-
dent Wade Ramsey to issue the
following formal statement:
The continued loss of our straw
stock from fires is a critical anc
battling problem,
The company is receiving the
assistance of a special investigator
representing the Board of Fire I'm
derWriters, as we'll as the assistance
CT the Ell Centro fire and police
departments in the investigation OF
all clues which might lead to the
discovery of the causes of these
fires. There are many theories but
no facts to support any of them.
The company has doubled its
Watchman's service. Four Watchmen
work in shifts of two. One watch
man occupies an observation tower
while the other patrols the straw
yard in a truck which is equipped
with fire-fighting equipment. Ouf
Watchmen are deputy policemen and
are armed. 1t has always been the
policy of the company to exercise
ever; precaution which might pre-
vent fire.
The straw fire on Tuesday night
seems to have definitely started
inside the west end of the stack
and it appeared for a few minutes
that the efficient work Of the Fl
Centro fire department would re-
suit in saving the stack. However,
the bales could not be torn away
fast enough to get to the blaze in
side the stack. The heroic work OF
the fire department and our en-
ployees resulted in cutting the
stack and saving almost half OF it.
The content of the stack was about
1913 tons; the estimated loss about
100 tons
THE cause or causes of these
fires must be determined and re-
lentleSs investigation will continue
until the problem has been solved.

against the japanese on the borders
of Sarawak province on Borneo
while Dutch airplanes bombed an
enemy ship at Tarakan island and
and enemy air base in the southern
Philippines.
American and Filipino forces
threw back two more japanese
thrusts on Bataan province ano
American bomberS were cooperating
in attacks on enemy bases and

where in the East Indies.
British Imperials, aided by in
creased air support, set up a strong
line on the Malaga peninsula and
were believed to be concentrating
on a major stand on the borders
of Johore province. about 80 miles
from Singapore. The British were
fighting considerably north OF that
line for the time being, however.
DELAYING TACTICS
The net effect of these Allied
operations is not counter-offenS-
i've but an action to slow up the
enemy in the Pacific and stop him
wherever possible until full Allied
strength can be mustered fer large
scale attacks.
There was no assurance IN either
Singapore or London Wednesday
that Allied supreme headquarters
in Java, where Gen. Sir Archibald
Wavell and Admiral Thomas c
Hart have arrived with their staffs,

The Japanese pushing down the
west coast from the Kuala Lumpur

resS despite extensive Allied demo-
ntion and rear-guard resistance

The Dutch moved into the fight
ing zone on the Sarawak border to
stop the enemy rather than in hope
of Immediately pushing him out OF
Borneo. Offensive operations by Al

Allies were still on the defensive

That situation is likely to pre-
vail for some time, with the Japa-
nese momentum continuing to make
broad gains despite the offensive
counterblows that may be struck
against them until the enemy gen.
