 The chief executive asked news papermen to give as wide publicity as possible to the situation because unfair discharge of aliens and for eign-born citizens plays into the hands of the enemies of American democracy"
 Such unfair discharges, the presi- dent said, engender "the very dis trust and disunity on which our ene- mics are counting to defeat us."
 MT. Roosevelt urged all private employers to adopt sane policy regarding aliens and foriegn-born citizens, and to remember that the sons of the foreigners they dis charged may be among those who fought and are fighting So valiantly at Pearl Harbor or in the Philip pines.'

President Roosevelt Has Condemned Alien Abuses

Washington, Jan. 2-(UP)-Presi- dent Roosevelt today denounced as stupid" and unjust" the increasing discharges of loyal, efficient workers in American industries simply be- cause they were born abroad or be- cause they have 'foreign-sounding names"

 "It is one thing to safeguard American industry, and particularly defense industry, against sabotage; but 1t is very much another to throw out of work honest and loyal people who, except for the accident Of birth. are sincerely patriotic"

 Washington, Jan. 2-UP) The city of Manila and the United States naval base at nearby Cavite fell into Jap anese hands today. Valiant American and Filipino de- lenders under Gen. Douglas Macarthur had to abandon the capital and the base, but they still held strong posi- tions north of Manila and on fortt- fled islands that command Manila bay.
 The fall of undefende6 Manila was announced in | Jar department comnfunique which satd: re
 Advanced elements of Japanese troops entered Manila at 3 p. m, Jan. 2, 1922 (Manila Time) q A. M. EST).
 Evacuation of Cavite was reported by the navy in another communi- que, stating:
 "All ships and naval personnel were removed from the Manila-Ca- vite area prior to enemy occupation"
 The loss Of Manila, which had been in United tSates hands for 43 years, had been practically a fore gone conclusion since last nights war department communique dis closing that American defenders ill the north and south had been united.
 The approximate position of the new defense line appeared to be semi-circle anchored on the west at tn subsidiary naval base of Olanga- DO and at an unknown point in the east, north of Manila.
 Principal Base
 Cavite y.s the principal U. $. naval base in the Far East. But arrangements long since had been made to base at other points.
 American and Philippine troops are occupying strong positions north of the city and are holding the fortified island of Corregidor and other defenses of Manila bay tf. fectively, preventing the use of this harbor by the enemy" the War De partment said.
 The "loss of Manila, while seri- ous, has not lessened resistance to the Japanese attacks" on the ground, '!e communique said. It reported that Japanese air activity Is somewhat less in intensity than for several days"
 The War Department said that the Japanese troops in Manila were reported to be limited to . size necessary for police duties and maintenance of order"

 (The Domei broadcast regarding Macarthur was not confirmed from any source and appeared to be a typical Axis propaganda report cir culated in an effort to provoke Washington into disclosing informa- tino that, might be of military value.)
 The Japanese radio again called for the surrender of Manila and said that in any event Macarthur would

 lAnr cnn communiques indi- cated thot MacArthur was still lead ing resistance to the Japanese in an arc before Manila, but if the rein forced enemy troops break through on that frnot they would still face a difficult task in subduing the island of Corregidor.

Washington, Jan. 2-(UP)-The office of production management rushed plans today to convert every facility of the automobile industry to the production of implements Of war. All sales of new automobiles were halted as of yesterday, and the production of new automobiles will be stopped completely 30 days hence.
 A rationing system will be worked out in the next few days to dispose of new cars on hand and those that will be manufactured in the next month.
 Passenger cars and light trucks will be rationed in much the same manner as that to be used or distrib- uting tires and tubes.
 The tire and tube rationing sys- tenn goes into effect Monday. Civil- ians will be able to purchase only used and retreaded tires and tubes unless they are on the governments list of essential" users.

 Singapore, Jan. 2-(UP)--A com- munique issued by the Malaga com mand at the Kuala Lampur base in the west coast defense area said to- day that considerable help is en route for the armies defending Ma laya."
 It was believed here that the ccm- munique was meant to indicate that Sir Henry Pownall, new commander in chief in the Far East, intended to fight for every inch of ground and to allay any feeling in the provinces that everything was being sacrificed to the defense of Singapore.
 A previous communique had re- ported that Japanese endorsements had been landed in Perak Province on the west coast and that fighting had been intensified both there and on the main front.
 It was admitted that there was little word from the east coast, where the Japanese had claimed the capture of Kuantan, 200 miles from Singapore, but it was said that
