Japs Claim Raising
OF Singapore Drydock
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
A Domei dispatch from Sharghai,
broadcast by the Toxic radio and
recorded by the Associated Press,
said today that Japanese naval sal
vaging experts have succeeded in
raising the King George VI floating
dock, said to be the worlds largest,
IN Singapore Harbor.
Terming it "one Of the greatest
salvaging feats in history" Domei
said the giant dock was raised in
three months from the time work
was undertaken last May.
The dock, which could accommo-
date ships up to $4,000 tons, was
built in England in 1928 and towed
in sections to Singapore during the
following year. It's installation in
Singapore Harbor. Domei said, was
intended to make that port Britain's
Gibraltar of the East"
According to Domei, British naval
authorities In Singapore. antici-
pating the fall Of the port, ordered
the drydock scuttled In Decem-
Der. 1871.

rapidly and I had to abandon. my
efforts and struck for the dinghy.
1t is worth note at this point that
the ship never did nose over, as has
often been told, but glided gently
out of sight beneath the water with
hardly a rippl or bubbles"
Trouble With Dinghy.
Then Sergt. DeSiscio said, MA
tura had the dinghy inflated. but
slightly upside down. I padded out
to help him right. it but 1t seemed
to be slipping away from me as fast
as 1 swan toward it, and for a pass
ing moment I experienced a strange
feeling of uncertainty of my fate.
I just relaxed, in mind at least,
and said What's the difference
The next thing I knew we were all
about the dinghy and soon had 1t
righted though the task was not easy
due to the suction of the poem side
against the water. When it Topped
over I was directly beneath it and
came up between 1t. Davis legs,
startling him somewhat, I think"
Here sergt. Maturas took up the
story: Safely aboard we began to
take account of our injuries. 1t.
Davis hands were lacerated and
bleeding profusely. He swathed them
In rag which somebody produced.
But finding the bandages cumber-
some and quickly saturated he cast
them of into the sea. I protested
this action vigorously and the words
were hardly out of my mouth when
the rag disappeared in a swirl Of
bubbles"
Then 1t. Matthews cut in and
said, Eight P-40s still were with us,
buzzing like bees around a hive, to
keep us from being, or feeling, lost
One of them had dropped his own
raft in the most generous gesture I
have ever witnessed. We knew that
our position and distress had been
reported and that rescue would be
forthcoming sooner or later. We
padded around the debris-strewn
area looking for escape kits. We
found two and divided the contents
of chocolate and matted milk tablets
which relieved the unpleasant taste
of sea water we had swallowed"
Rescue Plane Arrives.
Then Sergt. Chard said, 1--WE had
relaxed from our exertions for what
seemed only a few minutes when
rescue hove into sight in the form
of an old, single engine amphibian
biplane. BY the time they had
found their wind. and set down to
take us aboard we had been afloat
somewhat over an hour and stiff
ness and pains were beginning to
show themselves.
"The British crew of the Walrus
were most considerate and dis
pensed water, cigarettes and blan-
kets. The young captain apologized
for the inadequacy Of the small
craft which, greatly overloaded with
seven persons aboard, was unable to
take to the air. But IL fait beau
temps and the waves weren't too
rough SO we TAXED the IS miles to
the cape. There we were put on
with more, apologies and taken
forthwith to the dispensary where
we shed our soggy garments. The
Red Cross WAS on h&nd with hot
coffee and doughnuts.''

time I look at folks on the ground
In raid or foot soldiers fighting,
I thank my lucky stars that I'm In

Like most soldiers, his biggest
hope Is to get back to the United
States soon. Dixie wants to 60 back
more than most. perhaps, because
Of his bride in Richmond, whom he
has seen little since their wedding.

Search for Peace Formula.
After the First World War we
tried to achieve a formula for
permanent peace, based on
magnificent idealism. We failed.
But, by our failure. We have
learned that we cannot maintain
peace at this stage of human
development by good intentions
alone.
Today the United Nations are
the mightiest military coalition
In history. They represent an
overwhelming majority of the
population of the world. Bound
together in solemn agreement
that they themselves will not
commit acts of aggression or con-
quest against any of their neigh
bors, the United Nations can and
must remain united for the
maintenance of peace by pre-
venting any attempt to rearm in

eral manager of the Chesapeake SS

vision is to be responsible for
smaller firms and Offices in the
downtown area, it was announced
Mr.. Robinson, native of Anne

plan. If he has it, he has left 1t
for later submission.
The President expressed hope that
freedom from Want-the right of
employment and the right of assur-
ance against life's hazards s"-would
mot be regarded as an issue-but
rather as task for all of us to study
sympathetically"
He told Congress, however that
IF the security of the individual
citizen, or the family. should become
a subject of national debate, the
country knows where I stand"
Defensive in Pacific Passing.
Dealing with the fighting record
of the last year, the President en-
phasized what had been done par
ticularly in two areas. OF the Pa
cific area he said. the period of our
defensive attrition in the Pacific is
passing.
Now our aim is to force the Jap
anese to fight. Last year, we stopped
them. This year we intend to ad-
vance"
BY far the largest and most i'm
portant developments in the whole
strategic picture of 1912" Mr.. Roose-
welt asserted, were the events on
the long front in Russia: First, the
implacable defense of Stalingrad.
and, second, the offensives by the
Russian armies at various points
which started in the latter part Of
November and which still roll on
with great force and effectiveness. "
On the question of aid to China
Mr.. Roosevelt said we are flying in
as much lease-lend material as ever

from another world war, the Presi-
dent said, was a second great aim.
Few Americans believe that this
Nation can end this war comfort
ably and then climb back into an
American hole and pull the hole in
/ after them"
After the World War this coun-
try tried out magnificent idealism"
to bring about peace. 1t failed, he
said, and this country has learned
/ that I'VE cannot maintain peace at
this stage of human development
by good intentions alone"
Of Germany, Italy and Japan the
President said:
They must be disarmed and kept
disarmed. and they must abandon
the teaching of that philosophy,
which has brought SO much suffer-
ing to the world"
Discusses Questionnaires.
The President said he knew there
! had been too many complicated
/ forms and questionnaires. Il have
/ had to fill some Of them out my
self" he added
But, he explained, "the forms and
! queStlonnaires represent an honest
and sincere attempt by honest and
sincere officials to obtain informa-
ton necessary in the effort to keep
prices down and supplies distributed
fairly. He held out hope for relief
by saying I'VE have learned by the
mistakes that have been made"
Mr. Roosevelt insisted that the
determination to see that essential
supplies were equitably distributed
to the people. rich and poor alike,
would continue. and predicted that
the methods would be improved.
In conclusion the President said:
Il do not propheSy when this war
will end. But do believe that this
year of 1943 will give the United
Nations very substantial advance
along the roads that lead to Berlin,
Rome and Toxic"
At the conclusion of his address.
the members of Congress and the
visitors in the galleries stood and
gave the President a great ovation.
Unusual Precautions Taken.
The Capitol was the scene of un-
usual precautions taken to safe
guard the Chief Executive.
Hours before his arrival time po-
lice, secret service men and Regular
Army personnel threw q Gordon
around the hill.
Steel-helmeted soldiers, bayonets
affixed to rifles, stood at attention
all around the Capitol and in its
plaza.
Special Capitol police, their num-
bers augmented by Metropolitan
police, were on guard at all en-
frances and were stationed through
out the Capitol. No one was per-
mitted to enter the building without
"a special pass or identification.
Admittance to the House galleries
was by special card only.
Mr.. Roosevelt arranged to confer
with his chief military advisers this
afternoon.
The President scheduled a con-
ference at pm. with Admiral Will
liam D. Leahy. his personal chief of
staff; Gen. George C. Marshall,
Army chief Of staff; Admiral Ernest
j. King, commander in chief Of the
Fleet, and 1t. Gen. H. H. Arnold,
chief of the Army Air Forces.
That was to follow a meeting with
the Netherlands Ambassador. DR.. A.
Loudon and 1t. Gov. Van Nook of
the Netherlands East Indies.
