Singapore’s Big Guns Blast Japs LAW ON WARPATH— Singapore. Feb. 1. Besieged Singapore’s big guns and planes hurled tons of bombs and shells into the Japanese ranks in plain sight across Johore Strait today while British sky pilots over the island skirmished furiously wi h Japanese bombers. (An initial attempt ly .lupi- neso shock forces. N.N.S. repor led, was broken up by artillery fire as' they attempted to ap proach the island tiy way of he broken causeway from the Malay an mainland. Reconnaisance re. ports said naval - escorted .lap transports had landed addifioim' large field artillery and fresh troops at the port of Endau. rush Ing them down to new positions facing Singapore. Substantial reinforcements have reached Singapore within the last few days. Governor Sir Shenton Thomas revealed, and more are on the way. He pledged the is land’s garrison and 750.000 peo ple to an indomitable stand un i' swelling imperial might can tarn the invasion tide. ‘‘All we have to do is hang on grimly and inflexibly, not very long, and our reward will be free dom, happiness and peace for every one of us,” Thomas declar ed in a broadcas’ promising that “Singapore will be held.” At last the chips were down in the defense of this greatest allied base In the far East, The rumlle of artillery and the now familiar drone of warplanes were cease- lees remlnoens- that the siege was on and that the Japanese were drawing their forces into close array on the tip of the surrender- ed Malaya mainland.

He added that unless “something dras'ic is done’’ indications point to “an qnally bloody year” in 1942. “Speed is undoubtedly tlie ma jor factor in fatal highway acci dents,” he said. “It is possible tha’ the speed limit in this state is too high (the maximum is 60 miles an hour when no hazards xist) but the fact is that even the speed limit we have is viola- od in every section of the state. This must end if we are to have better record of safety.” The Governor said he had ask ed the highway commission to fix modified speed zone.s for all military areaa, congested traffic zone.s. hazardouii eurves. danger ous intersec'ions, and,other plac es which in the opinion of the commission require special zoning and marking.

Batavia. N.E.I., Feb. 1.—Jap anese bombers struck today at Dutch Timor, southernmost of the Indies, only .910 ni'les from the Australian coast, while Dutch troops fiercely battled landing parties at four points, including the .\mboina naval base. Four Japanese transports, es corted by three cruisers and six destroyers, were off Amboina yes terday. to wrest this second most important naval base from the Dutch, who were demolishing all installations and supplies of any value to the enemy. While the Japanese warships pumped shells into the base, Japanese bombers pounded It from the air. Deep Raid In their deepest air raid yet made In'o the Indies, Japanese planes attacked Koepang and shipping south of there. In the strait between Timor and the island of Semaae (Semau). There was said to have been no damage or casualties. Confirmation of these develop ments In the parts of the Nether- land.s East Indies of most vital importance to Australia came from Melbourne, where they were announced in an RAF communi que.

They have set those names beside that of Wake Island upon the bright page of valor. As Milton wrote of Shake .speare, already they have made for themselves a place of glory in the hearts of their countrymen “that kings for such a tomb could wish to die.” That gfillaiit stand in Luzon Is an a.sset item of still imponderable strategic meaning in the yar led gers of the united na'ions. It is a still galling failure tor the Japa- nei-e aggressors, the effect of which on the whole course of the war in ‘he Pacific cannot yet he gauged. Kigliring .SyiiilKiI I’or This Gom^ration But it is more than that. It is a symbol of confidence tor Amer icans in the valor and fighting elan of their manhood in this gen- era’ion as Verdun was a heart- stirring name for Frenchmen in another, as Tobruk and Dunkirk are for Britons today, as Singa pore may be for ail freedom- lovin.g peoples tomorrow. It is remarkable that MacAr thur found both the time and the solemnly gallant words for that birthday greeting amid the din of the endless ba tle he is fighting against seemingly im possible odds. That having both the will and the words, he also had the means to communictae it. rimed to the minute as a mes sage not only to the President but to all Americans, is also a striking fact, Man’s conquest of the air and *he depths of the sea for the bus iness of commerce or war will be weighed by historians of the fu ture against the bane as well as the blessing the airplane and the fiubmarine have brought him. The two greatest wars can be traced directly to such scientific and mechanical triumphs of human Ingenuity. World War 1 was bom of evolution of the U-boat; World War 2 of perfection of the air plane. Reporting “tre.mendoiis strides” already have been made the com mittee expressed confidence that President Roosevelt’s gigantic av iation production schedules of 60,000 planes this year and 125,-, 000 in 194.9 would he fulfilled. i “tough as they are.’’ , Coupled with that statement i was a fiat assertion that Ameri can planes are now equal in most types to any produced elsewhere, and “in certain categories, par ticularly heavy bombers, we un questionably lead the world’’. The report came form the house military affairs committee’s spe cial subcommittee on aviation. Its members have just completed a survey trip to all the offshore bas es. Panama, and to aviation plants, flying fields and training centers. Makes R.'voinnienibilJon.s On the basis of its studies the committee recommended: 1. Installation of numerous ad ditional airdromes and auxiliary field,? in the continental Uni'ed States and on the offshore posses sions, 2. Location of additional air bases so as to permit a maximum of dispersion of airplanes on the ground. 3. Increased study and appli cation of camouflage in areas where an enemy attack may oc cur. 4. A careful inquiry into con struction of underground hang ars for airplanes and underground installations for fuel, lubricants, ordnance supplies and machine : shops. ,5. Rotation of military person nel sta'ioned at isolated offshore and tropical bases to limit the maximum period of service un der such conditions to one year. As a long-time objective, the committee recommended perma- nen' acquisition of the offshore bases leased from the British for 99 years in the trade for de stroyer.?. The committee said that the air force objective of a half-mil lion officers, cadets and enlisted men—laid down last November— would be ‘‘doubled and trebled before we are through,” and said 83 aviation training schools would be operating by spring, and that an annual training rate of 30.000 pilots would he reached by June.
