British Troops Quit One Portion Of Burma
(Continued from Page D

Japanese planes last week.
 So far, it was asserted, only seven of between 60 and 70 American pilots in the group had been lost.
 A communique issued at New Delhi, India, said that the British withdrawal from Rangoon was made necessary when the Pegu troops to the north were isolated.
 The Japanese succeeded in ef- fecting 8 landing on the north bank of the Bakir river and the west bank of the Rangoon river, it was explained thus threatening the forces at Rangoon with entrapmcnt.
 At the same time, it was said, Japanese troops in the Pegu sector infiltrated through the jungle to the west and proceeded on toward the Bay of Bengal with strong armored forces in support.
 These Japanese forces were re- ported to be making their way westward through the jungle toward Tharrawaddy, on the Rangoon- Prone road,

Still Fight in Java

Melbourne, Australia, March H. Lieut.. Gov. Hubertus J. Van Nook of the Netherlands East Indies said today that he was confident that Dutch, American and Australian troops were still fighting in posi- tions east and west of Bandoeng in central Java.
 In the first specific mention of the strength of the Allied troops fighting with the Dutch in Java, Van Nook estimated that 5000 or 4,000 English speaking" troops were still fighting alongside the Dutch.
 All Dutch forces, he said, had instructions to operate independent ly as long as possible.
 He expressed belief that Allied troops also were still fighting with the Dutch in other Netherlands East Indies islands, especially in middle and northern Sumatra which the Japanese had not occu- pied.
 CDutch quarters in London re- ceived word that Netherlands forces still held Medan, capital of Sumatra at the northern island of the is- land) "..
 We do not blame our Allies fo1 our setbacks," he said. 'This is not the time for recriminations, name calling and blame-placing.
 Those Americans and Australians who aided us fought well and un- hesitatingly.
 There was no lack of intention by the United States, which did al that was possible. We remember that the United States took the leac when 1t froze Japanese credits.
 '"The Allies must now scrap poll tics and utilize their advantages tc coordinate their power against the over-long Japanese supply lines which are the weakest Japanese point.
 T certainly believe that the Jap anese will attack northern anc western Australia, whether or moi they intend to turn their mair drive toward India"

U. P. Australian Manager

New York, aMrch 11-(UP)-The United Press today announced the appointment of Brydon Taves-f1rst American correspondent to reach Melbourne after the outbreak of the war in the Pacif1c-as United Press manager for Australia.
 Taves has been in Australia since January. Previously he represented the United Press in New York, Rio de Janiero, Capetown, and London, where he went through the German air raids.

P. ex- perience on the Pacific coast.
 w. H. McDougall, who remained in Java until the last possible mo- ment, presumably is attempting to make his way to Australia and will be permanently assigned to that sector of the war.
 Taves has opened 8 United Press bureau in Melbourne, where he has access to news reports of the Aus tralian United Pres aSnd the Aus tralian Associated Press.

GEN. MAC ARTHUR
 IS PREPARING
Continued from Page 1)

(Contlnued from Page D blasted an enemy infantry regiment of about 2,5O0 men moving up to the front lines north of Abucay in 90 trucks. MacArthur'S guns des- royed 29 of the trucks and most of their occupants"
 100000 Japanese
 War department officials said Yamashita's 100000 or more troops were without the heavy air support which aided them in the early weeks of the Philippine invasion, due to the shifting of bombers, dive"bom- bers and fighters southweStward for assaults on Singapore and Java.
 YamaShita is believed to be bring ing back this air strength, perhaps in even greater force, for what may be double-barreled assault upon MacArthur'S Bataan positions and the fortresseS at the entrance to Manila Bay.
 Military observers said they anti cipated a different strategy from Yamashita than that followed by his ill-fated predecessor, Lieut.. Gen. MaSaharu Homma who is believed to have committed Hara-Kiri be- cause of his failure to break the American Filipino resistance.
 Whereas Homma alternated be- tween blows on the Rattan land front and bombardments of Corre- gidor and the other American forts in Mania Bay, Yamashita may strike simultaneously on the Bataan land front and by artillery and aerial bombardment, at the island forts, 1t was said.
 His purpose would be not only to knock MacArthur'S little army of Luzon Island but prevent it from making @ stand under siege in Corregidor.
 May Use Larger Guns
 War department observers specu- lated that Yamashita might be in- stalling larger guns around the Japanese held Cavite Naval base across Manila Bay from Corregidor.
 The Japanese six-inch and eight inch guns which Homma used a. gainst for forts have failed to silence the American guns or wreck the rosky bastions despite weeks of hammering.

Burmese capital belatedly adopted a 24-hour day.
 Two weeks ago I watched hun dreds of "jeeps," trucks and staff cars loaded with gasoline, guns and ammunition to feed China's war et- fort knocked into line by bearded red-eyed American technicians These machines then were sent roaring during the night toward China to escape the advancing Jap aneSe.
 Farther on the road to Mandalay I stopped for American coffee with tough, dust-begrimed Americans leading conveys of America trucks to China. Wrecked trucks were found frequently along the road but the conveys kept moving.
 Travellers arriving from Rangoon told me today, however, that al wrecked vehicles have been salvag- ed by the Americans and the road from here to Rangoon is "bare o1 Americans"
 Latest unofficial reports from the front said the Japanese were threatening Toungoo, 150 miles north of Rangoon, and probably were preparing for a large-scale in ! vasion of the Burma Shan States
 It was believed the next Japan ese offensive would attempt tc straddle the low, scrub-coverec Pegu Yoma mountain range, who's highest point reaches 2,691 feet.
 The Pegy Yona is Burma's cen tral mountain range, running nortl and south. East of this range ar the bulky Shan mountains and t. the west is the Arakan Roma range
 Moving up the Irrawaddy and Sit tang valleys, the imperial forces ar withdrawing through the Tharra waddy distarict, roughly 400 mile northwest of Rangoon, where sabo teurS and Dacoits (native bandits have been active since civil evacua tion of the capital.

 Where's the Stone?" they de- manded, awakening her.
 "In the pillow" she replied.
 In the pillow, wrapped in a brown paper, was a two carat diamond which had been torn from the plat mum band Mrs. Reich wore when she was last seen alive.

 rines in Caribbean

Havana, March 11-(UP)-Sur- vivors of two American tankers att tackled by Axis submarines in the Caribbean were recovering today in Cuban ports at the eastern tip of the island.

Landing to Increase
 The President emphasized, how ever, that the volume of lend-lease aid to the British Commonwealth of Nations and B other countries whose defense has been declared vital to this country has increased steadily with each of the F months it has been in operation.
 The first three months of the lend-lease program, total aid amounted to only $118,000,o00. Each month, however, produced 8 sizable increase and for the month of Feb ruary, 1942 total aid amounted to over $569,00O,0o0.
 MT. Roosevelt noted that the to. tai value of exports of lend-lease items to Feb. 28, 1942, was only about $1, JOG, ,000, ,000-less than the value of articles transferred, be- cause of the necessity of maintain ing inventories of finished articles at points of export and because the transfers of ships are not included III the export fgure.
 The $48,0O0, 100000 lend-lease to- tai referred to by the President in- cIuded $18,41o, 100000 appropriated directly to the President and allo- cated, obligated and expended for specific articles and services ear- marked for lend-lease.
 The figure also included up to $29,- 596, ,650,000 of all the material pur- chased by the War and Navy de- partments and the Maritime com mission for all war needs, which may, after procurement, be trans ferred to 1end-lease nations if SC determined by MT. Roosevelt and the heads of the armed forces.

Broadcasts Recorded by UP in New York and San Francisco)-A cabinet information board spokesman hint ed today that Japan and Australia might be ableto conclude means" of peace, but said Japan's Axis commitments precluded a formal separate peace.
 Asked by foreign correspondents whether Japan would accept sep arate peace with Australia, he said:
 "A separate peace is out of the question because Germany, Italy and Japan have agreed not to make a separate peace. It is, however, possible for Japan and Australia to find 8 'modus."
 He said 1t would depend lon fu- ture events" whether Australia, un- der such.. a plan, would be given the same status as occupied territory in Malaya and the Philippines.
 Meanwhile, the Shanghai Times published an interview with Allen Raymond, described as "the fuehrr" of 8 movement for an independent Australia, in which he said, we want 8 free and independent Aus 'tralia, outside any European poll tics"
 The spokesman warned Australia that continued opposition to Japan would bring it the same fate as the Netherlands East Indies and the newspaper Nichi Nichi said it iS only a matter of time until the Japanese air force extends its ac- tivitieS to southern Australia"

 Shonbrun'S behest, but, he insisted, had no idea where his nephew got 1t.
 Miss Webb came to New York Sev- en years ago from Saltwater, Okla, where the boys with whom she went |; to college considered her the most beautiful girl on the campus.
 Is Very Beautiful
 She got a few bit parts, a little work as model unqueStionably she was, remains, exceptionally beauti- ful. But, apparently, she lacked the other requirements of successful stage career. Before long she was taking the jobs that are not general ly considered to lead to the theatri- cal heights-nude dancing in second rate night clubs, semi-nude posing for photographers. During the World Fair she was 8 mermaid in one Of the side shows. A few years ago she got into fight, was cut along her nose and this made a scar which somewhat deglamorized her beauty.
 Detectives had spread out for a week looking for their hideout. Yes terday afternoon, they saw Cullen dart into a delicatesSen, watched him wolf sandwich. After hours of questioning, he gave them the address they wanted.
 Mrs. Johanna Kordeck, landlady of the rooming house said Cullen rented the three room apartment last Saturday night, saying Miss Webb was his daughter, ~Shonbrull, her husband. Because they didn't go out over the weekend, she inquired Monday if anything was wrong and Cullen said his daughter was preg- nant and i'll. Hunger compelled Cul- len to go out yesterday. When he didn't return, Shonbrun sneaked out last ight to buy newspapers, appar- ently hoping to learn his fate. He was reading them when the detec- lives arrived
