Hickey and Leo Burocher will

on the question of who will manage
the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1913 and
the recently appointed president of

for an early decision.
Hickey said that for very good

what matters he and Durocher
would have to agree upon to bring
about the return of The Lip" for
his fifth season at the helm Of the
Dodgers. but added that right
now the question of Durocher's en-
tering the Army at some time in
the future is figuring less than

have a more prominent place in
my judgment on the job later, but

Singapore's food supplies are
ample for a considerable time. Anti
cipating q disruption Of trade and
shipping, authorities began accu-
mulating reserves of rice last year
and started encouraging people to
grow their own vegetables.
A great store of rice-main staple
for the Orientals-was imported
from Thailand, Burma and French
1nQO-CQlQd.
Vegetables and eggs already are
scarce but the island should be able
to produce enough to meet mini
mum requirements. The vegetable
supply formerly came from the
fertile areas Of Central Malaga and
from the Netherlands Indies.
Singapore long has imported most
OF its meat from Australia, and re-
serves are still large. The people
already are observing two meatless
days a week as a measure Of econ
omy.
OF the more than 100000 persons
pressed into the 220 square miles
Of island, only about $4,000 are
Europeans. Eighty per cent are
Chinese and the rest are Indians
and Malayans.
Most of the population is ooncen-
trated in the city of Singapore at

many Malayans and Indians and
some Chinese live in villages and
hamlets which dot the rubber
plantations and cocoanut palm
groves covering large areas Of the

Japanese Will Find Singapore
Harder to Win Than Hong Kong
100000 Fortress Forther Awoy
And Is Not Nearly So Vulnerable

By the Associated Press.
Japanese invasion hordes will fine
the citadel Of Singapore a vastly
tougher nut to crack than the Brit
ish crown colony of Hong Kong
which fell on Christmas Day after
a siege of less than three weeks.
Both are island naval fortresses
lying about a mile from the MAIN
land, but their similarity ends
there.
Singapore bristles with arma-
ments costing $40O, 100000 Hong
Kong's defenses cost only a tenth
as much.
While Hong Kong was defended
by a relatively small garrison OF
perhaps 10000 British, Canadian
and Indian troops. Singapore is
guarded by a vastly larger force
The size of the Singapore garrison
reinforced by troops which fell back
from the Malay peninsula, is a
military secret.
Japanese communication Nnes to
Singapore are nearly twice as long
as the 1,585-mile route from Toxic
to Hong Kong. Singapore lies LAO
miles south Of Hong Kong, and the
Japanese TANKS are exposed.
Hong Kong virtually was sur
rounded by hostile Japanese after
their treacherous attack December
Z. Canton, the large Chinese me-
tropolis nearby, was taken by the
Japanese early in their China war
and served as an effective base for
the assault by at least $4,000 invad-
ing troops.
But Singapore is near the Allied
Netherlands Indies, near Australia
and India and can be reinforced,
whereas no help could be despatch
ed to Hong Kong. Allied sea power
may be nearby.
Failure of Hong Kongs water sup
ply brought its surrender. Vast
reservoirs can provide Singapore's
100000 residents with watef for an
indefinite period.
Air support was virtually nil at
Hong Kong, because airdromes were
quickly overrun. Singapore island

turned to deal with the invaders
at Singapore's back door.
Main British forces disengaged
the enemy at Kulai, 20 miles north
of Johore Bahru early yesterday,
blowing up roads, bridges and cul-
verts behind them. Apparently they
completed evacuation of the main
land at least day ahead of the
enemy's anticipation. All, except
for a bare few, troops we're brought
of before dawn.
As columns of troops, guns and
equipment filed through the cause
way. Australian Imperial Forces
and Gordon Highlanders held the
outer bridgehead. The inner bridge
head was held until the last by
Argyll Sutherlanders who paid tri-
butte to the Scottisher's heroic fight
ing retreat from North Malaga.
The enemy was completely out Of
contact in the latter stages OF the
withdrawal except for skirmishing
parties on the farthest f1anks. They
apparently were wholly unaware Of
what was taking place.
Thousands of British troops
marched last night in columns
across Johore causeway in the light
of a full moon without interference
from the enemy. 1t was the climax
of a brilliant disengagement with
drawal which outwitted the Japs
when determined air attacks might
have proved most serious.
While the battie-weary British
troops tramped southwark for hours
on the causeway in the vicinity OF
the naval base, swarms Of japanese
bombers flew overhead en- route to
seek military targets in the Slnga-
pore City area.
Johore Causeway was blown up
while onlookers saw a section con-
sisting Of roadway and railway
