JAP FACTORIES IN HIGH
 PRODUCTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-(AP) The estimate of the Japanese factories turning out aircraft at the rate of 1900 or more per month, came from high authority coupled with the report that the Japanese, like the Germans, were concentrating significantly on de- fensive. types.
 This report of Nipponese pro- auction is about 100 per cent high CT than most guesses made since Pearl Harbor, and goes far to ex- plain the enemy's ability to keep replacing the heavy losses, and in dicate his reserve planes have not been lessened appreciably.
 In a little more than a month, from January 1 to February 6, the Japs have lost 700 planes in the Pacific areas, and more than POO on the ground.

REDS CLOSE IN ON IRON- RAIL CENTER

MOSCOW, Feb. 9.-(AP)-Rus- sian troops closed in on the iron rdu center of Krivoi-Rog from three sides, and also advances in the direction of Black Sea ports of kherson and Nikolaev, after breaking the long, tenacious Ger man defense in the Dnieper Bend, at Nikopol.
 Adolf Hitler said that Krivoi- Rog may repeat what happened at Nikopol where the Russians wait ed too long before retreating, and lost l5,000 dead and enormous amounts of booty and stores.
 Nihopol is the major source of manganese, essential to the hard ening of German steel. The Ger mans have large numbers of in fantry, tanks, and artillery at kriVoi-Rog and show no signs of retreating, despite the threat of almost encirclement.
 The Red Star, Russian newspa- per, said the 10 divisions which are encircled near Cherkasy a< being exterminated.
 Spring arrived in the Dnieper Bend after one of the most phe- nomenally short mild winters in a generation, leaving roads a quag- mire of mud.

Many Bases Are Still to Be Taken Says Nimitz

PEARL HARBOR, Feb. 9.-fAP) Air and sea bombardment by heavy and medium bombers and fighter planes, and every class of Warship, was continued against the Jap bases, which are still un- conquered in the Marshall Ls- lands.
 Admiral Nimitz reported in press conference on his return from the inspection of the Kwa- jalein atoll, announced that all resistance on the atoll had ceased and it's capture and occupation completed
 In an unusual statement to the press, he said:
 "I do not believe that we can defeat Japan from the sea alone. That is the single strategy of the Pacific war, and I do believe the Japanese can only be defeated from bases in China, because they draw food, iron and other sup plies from China, and Manchuria, and as long as they have access to these, they will be difficult to beat.
 Furthermore, we. want bases from which we can deliver air raids-not sporadic ones-but likss those the Germans are receiving"
 He admitted the aim was to get our forces moving across the Pa- cific, and another necessary cam- paign would take in the Carolines which lie west of the Marshalls.
 The raids of the past few days included the sinking of several small Japanese boats in the Jal- uit atoll, and other sinkings throughout the Marshalls attack.

BARTLETT DEGREES SET UP OF LAWS

WRANGELL, Alaska, Feb. g. Labelling the present system of government "outrnoded and ineffi- cient and only stop-gap between territory-hoOd and statehood" :" E. L. Bartlett, former secretary of Alaska, addressed the first State hood for Alaska" dinner ever held in the Territory here last night.
 Bartlett struck vigorously at the lack of coordination between fed eral and territory agencies, which he blamed mot on men at the head of these departments, but at the antiquated system which never intended to be anything but a stop-gap until statehood"
 He declared the cost could be defined by taxing some of the millions of dollars which are now going out of the Territory without paying one cent in taxation"
 Before a capacity crowd, who paid a dollar a plate to cheer for the 49th state, Bartlett declared for an early referendum so Alas kans can express a "just right as American citizens"
 The affair was sponsored by the Wrangell for. Statehood. Club.
