DEcetur 3443 China's Advance Units In Burma Ready for Drive Against Japs Enemy Threats to Start All-Out Rangoon Raids Fail to Materialize BY the Associated Press. RANGOON, Burms, Jan. 15— Chinese Army advancé units have reached points in Burma from which an offensive against Japanese-held territory ultimately may be de- veloped, it was disclosed today. A communique said “preparatfons for co-operation with China are well in hand. Liaison between Chinese | and British staffs proceeds.” | 'The possibility that the Japanese | may attempt simultaneous attacks on Singapore and Burma is recog- imzed by military circles here, but they gave assurance that defensive preparations for such an eventuality are being made as well as the long- er range development of striking power. Rangoon had & 10-minute air-raid alarm this morning, but no enemy | planes were sighted, and broadcast threats of the Japanese to initiate an all-out bombing of Rangoon to- day failed to materialize. | Reinforcements Arrive, Both air and land reinforce- | ments—the first to reach the British | Far East in more than a month of war with Japan—have arrived in all-important Burma, More are on the way. | An official announcement yester- day said these included anti-aircraft batteries for Rangoon and other key points and additional ground crews for air units landed at Burmese air fields, some of which are hidden in the jungle close to Thailand, spring- board for Japan's drive on Singa- pore. (The wording of this dispatch may indicate that aircraf$ and aviation personnel apart from those mgking up the ground crews have arrived. The Brit- ish have announced they do not intend to disclose movements of aircraft and this might apply likewise to flyers. (Burma’s air strength already appears to ge the greatest of any British Far Eastern possession. Some of the heaviest raids on Thailand have been made from there. It is known to have re- ceived aerial reinforcements shortly before the war began.) Burmese Heartened. Fresh British and Indian troops, equipped for instant action under the Burma commander, Lt. Gen. T. | J. Hutton, heartened the Burmese as they marched for the first time on Burma’s soll. They gave new hope that Burma will become the base for & strong counteoffensive against the Japanese armies which are pouring into Malaya from Thailand. The R. A. F. forces in Burma now are truly imperial. There are pilots from England, Canada, Australia and South Africa. (In addition, American veteran pilots grouped in a volunteer squadron are protecting the Burma road to China and en- gaging in the air defense of Ran- | goon. The latest and heaviest Japanese air thrust at Rangoon, mnl:l? in Tuesday night's moonlight, fizzled out. Stveral waves of Japanese bombers tried to hit military objec- tives in the environs of the city, but they caused only half a doeen civil- ian casualties. A tour of one section where some hits were reported failed to disclose even any damage to pri- vate buildings, Two of the Japanese bombers ar- rived with their lights turned on— apparently a gesture of bravado. Threats by Radio. Rangoon authorities were doing their utmost to nullify the Japanese radio propaganda which threatened that Japanese planes will “bomb Rangoon to the ground” in the next three days and warning the native population to flee at least 15 miles from the city. These broadcasts are coming from both Bangkok and Tokio. British aircraft were over Jap- anese-occupied territory — presum- ably Thailand—on reconcaissance yesterday, & combined army and R. A. F. headquarters communique dis- closed last night. ‘The Japanese bombed an airdrome north of Rangoon yesterday morn- ing, but caused on damage to R. A. F'. property or casualties among the personnel. Tavoy, Burmese seaport west of Bangkok at the head of the Malayan Peninsula, was bombed yesterday afternoon by four enemy planes, but there were no casualties and no damage to R. A. F. property. 21 Convicts Escape Texas |Prison; Two Recapfured By the Associated Press. HOUSTON, Jan. 15.—Twenty-one long-term convicts escaped from Eastham State Prison Farm last night by crawling through a dormi- tory window from which bars had been sawed. A prison employe said two others failed to make a get-away. Ed Mor- ris, 27, was shot in the left arm and recaptured. C. R. Stout, 25, was caught before he got far from the building. About 250 convicts were housed in the dormitory where the break oc- curred. A guard noticed figures run- ning in the dark and began firing. ‘The shots evidently discouraged oth- ers from attempting to escape.

Healy—known as “Judgs” to the Nation's utility in- | dustr;—has submitted his resigna- tion ‘rom the Securities and Ex- chani® Commission, it was con- firmec at the White House today. Pre.ident Roosevelt has received | his lester, it was announced, and has repligl to it, but has not yet ac- cepted the resignation. Member of Original Group. The “Judge” is the only original | memiler of the 8. E. C. still with the | agenc;. He was appointed when the | S. E. . was established in 1934 after | havinz served as chief counsel of | | the Esderal Trade Commission. In| that capacity he had charge of hear- | ings n the investigation of certain |} public utilities which led eventually to Givernment regulation of utility | holdizg companies. Mr, Healy is 58, a native of Ben- [’ ningt)n, Va, and a Republican. He| once :erved on the Vermont Supreme Cour,. In recent years he has disagreed | on occasion with other members of | the c)mmission over policy matters, | inclusing 8 persistent objection- to the dsposal of certain types of ap- | plicat.ons without a public hearing. | His hitest disagreement is under- stood to have been over the selec- tion «. Ganson Purcell as chairman Chairman Edward C. Eicher to be| chief justice of the Federal District Court here. A Senate committee will consider Mr. Eicher's nomination soon. Purcell Advanced Last Spring. Mr. Purcell, who is 36, was ad- vanced to & commissionership last spring from director of the 8. E. C.’s trading and exchange division. He is a native of San Gabriel, Calif., and | a Harvard law school graduate. One of the two prospective vacan- cies on the commission must be filled by a member of some party other than the Democratic, since no more than three of the five members may be of the same party. One name already mentioned for the minority membership is that of Edwin M. Dougherty of San Fran- cisco, a member of the California Corporation Commission. It appears likely that Robert H. O'Brien, director of the S. E. C. public utility division, will be chosen to fill the vacancy caused when Mr. Eicher goes to the bench. War to End ‘Gadding,’ Home Decorator Holds By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Jan. 15—To a large extent this war is going to make America a nation of “home bodies.” ‘This is the opinion of Miss Nancy McClelland of New York, president of the American Institute of Deco- rators, in Chicago to preside at the 11th annual conference of the or- ganization, opening today. More people are going to at home rather than go gadding about ! here and there, she believes.
