In a letter inclosing the check, the British Ambassador wrote: “It is with the.greatest pleasure that I inclose herewith a cheque for $500 as a contribution towards the excellent purposes of the United Service Organizations, “This sum represents in part a fee which I received for publication rights of one of my speeches, and also a contribution from the British Embassy staff. “Although I realize that the initia] campaign is over, in view of the present greatly expanded needs, 1 hope you will allow me thus to anticipate your next drive for the United Service Organizations. “Therefore it is with the sincere good wishes of Lady Halifax and myself, coupled with those of the members of the British Embassy, that I have much pleasure in for- warding you the cheque herewith.” Mr. Taliaferro wrote Lord Halifax in acknowledgment of the gjft, as follows: “Permit me to acknowledge re- ceipt of your letter of January 15, 1942, inclosing vour check for $500 as a contribution toward the United Service Organizations, which you state represents in part a fee re- ceived by vou for publication rights of one of your speeches and also a contribution from the British Em- bassy staff. “It is with the deepest appre- ciation that this generous contri- bution is accepted.

Different From One (Picture_xm iue A-1) BY the Associated Press. | LONDON, Jan. 19.—The saga of | Prime Minister Churchill’s spectac- ular visit to Washington was given new color today by the disclosure | that he personally had piloted part way across the Atlantic the big 74- passenger flying boat in which he | returned to Britain Saturday. The disclosure was made by | Comdr. J. C. Rogers, captain of the | plane, who said the Prime Minister | | had banked the giant ship through | | two sweeping turns after getting the | feel of the controls. Mr. Churchill learned to fly before | | the World War and caused some | concern in Parliament during that conflict by risking his life in the air while serving as First Lord of the Admiralty. His latest exploit was in keeping with an adventuresome career which has endeared him to the British public. Comdr. Rogers, who described the Atlantie crossing as uneventful, said the Prime Minister had displayed “the keenest interest in operational technicalities” during the flight. “It was just after breakfast,” he | Churchill Himself Piloted Huge Flying Boat Part of Way Home Told Plane’s Captain Craft Was Much He Had Flown in 1913 said. “when Mr. Churchill came striding onto the control deck, wear- ing his siren suit and smoking a cigar. “After he had taken over, he re- was much diffierent from the plane he had flown in 1913 Comdr.

So closely guarded were plans for | the flight that few of. those re- sponsible for keeping contact with planes crossing the Atlantic knew | they were sending directions and weather reports to a plane bearing Mr. Churchill homeward. Once during Priday night, it was | disclosed, a high ®fficial of the Air Ministry telephoned on a private line to inquire about aircraft move- ments over the Atlantic, and just before ringing off asked, apparently as an after-thought: “How's that British Airways Boe- ing getting on?” “All tickety boo,” replied the wing commander in charge. “Dead right on the course and on time.” The plane landed 12 minutes ahead of schedule.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 19— Mexico, presented a proposal to the Pan-American Conference today to extend to all the United Nations the status of non-belligerents in their fight against the Axis powers. Led by Argentina, most of the Latin American countries already have declared the United States a non-belligerent. Among other things, this means that United States war- ships can enter and leave their ports at will, free of the regulation forc- ing ships to limit their stays to 24 hours. The proposal came as the Foreign Ministers of 19 American republics exerted pressure on Argentina and Chile to line up in a solid Western Hemisphere severance of relations with the totalitarian nations. Argentine sources said their delega- tion wished to present a compromise proposal, but was careful to ascer- tain whether any stand they sug- gested had a chance of success, Six Proposais Offered. The United States presented six proposals dealing with subversive activities, the Red Cross, improve- ment of health and sanitation, es- tablishment of a committee to deal with juridical and postwar prob- lems, aviation and communications. The first outlined numerous meas- ures to be taken against potential fifth columnists and the control of all foreigners. It recommended the creation of a “consultative emer- gency committee for political de- fense” to co-ordinate these meas- ures. The Chilean delegation asked for bilateral or multilateral accords un- der which the gold reserves of one nation might be made available to others, Defense and economic committees met during the morning, but did not announce thé\' topics. Boundary Rew Seen Near End. ‘The century-old boundary dispute | between Peru and Ecuador, which frequently has flared into armed conflict, was discussed for half an hour by Dr. Enrique Ruiz Guinazu, Oswaldo Aranha and Julio Tobar Donoso, foreign ministers of Argen- tina, Brazil and Ecuador. A settle- ment was believed near. In advance of any actual voting showdown, observers expressed be-| lief that the Argentine delegation | and perhaps that of Chile would oppose outright severance of rela- | tions which representatives of the| other American republics reportedly | | favor. | Dr. Ruiz Guinasu, conferred at | length yesterday with President | Getulio Vargas of Brazil, United| | States Undersecretary of State Sum- | ner Welles and Juan Bautista Ro-| setti, Foreign Minister of Chile. “I can definitely say,” Ruiz Guin- azu declared leter, “that there will | be no Argentina decision tomorrew.” | Ruiz Guinazu Nen-Committal. The Argentine Foreign Minister added that he could not say whether | the proposal for severance of rela- | tions “would be satisfactory or un- satisfactory from the Argentine viewpoint.” Other nations, with Brazil play-| ing an especially active part, kept up considerable pressure to bring Argentina to & decision—today if possible. Aurelio Fernandez Concheso, rep- | resenting Cuba, said he was de- termined to call vigorously for 100 per cent support of a resolution | breaking off with the Axis. Ruiz Guinazu and other dele gates from Argentind refused to| confirm or deny reports that they | had a counterproposal to submit.

Factors in hmnn.

LONDON, Jan. 19.—Premier U Saw of Burma, who left London last November in a huff after failing to obtain dominion status for his coun- try, has been arrested by the Brit- ish for ploiting with the Japanese. An official snnouncement today indicated seisure of the round-fyced, skirt-wearing little Oriental had balked a conspiracy to hand over to the Japanese the British Asiatic ‘which holds a vital role in the defense of Singapore. This statement, issued from No. 30 Downing street, Prime Minister Churchill's official residence, said U Saw had been “in contact” with the Japanese since the outbreak of war in the Pacific. “This fact has been confirmed by his own admission,” the statement added. “His Majesty’s government accordingly have been compelled to detain him and it will not ke pos- sible to permit him to return to Burma.” Scene of Arrest Not Given. Just where U Saw was taken into custody was not disclosed. He went to Washington from London and was in Hawaii on his way back home when the Japanese started the war in the Pacific. This forced him to reverse his journey. (U 8aw left Lisbon January 3 by airplane for Cairo, according to a dispatch of Janu- ary 4) Breathing deflance, ¥ Saw de- clared after his conference here with Mr. Churchill that his trip “was not satisfactory and not com- mensurate with the amount of risk I have taken in coming to England.” “We would rather trust the devil we know than the devil we don’t know,” he added. “When I get back to Burma I shall have to say that Britain has aothing to give you, in which case ..."” Picturesque Character. The suave, polished U Saw was considered one of the most pic- turesque characters in the political- diplomatic world.

LONDON, Jan. 19.—GoverA- ment critics today demanded an immediate parliamentary debate on Britain's reverses in the Far East in the face of Prime M:z- ister Churchill’s intention to de- lay the war strategy statement, possibly for a week. 2 Reliable quarters indicated Mr. Churchill intended to delay a state- ment on resuits of his Washington conferences and the Far East until he hed a chance to study fully every development of the political situation since his pre-Christmas departure for Washington. The Prime Minister was reported engaged all day yesterday and to- day in conferences with high ad- ministrative officials which fore- shadowed some changes in the war orgenization, although most quar- ters agreed no shake-up in the cabie net itself was in prospect. Indicating disappointment that Mr. Churchill would not speak imme- diately, Edgar Granville, Liberal National member of Parliament, served notice he would move at the next sitting of Commons for an adjournment of the House “to dis- cuss the urgent state of affairs with regard to the defense of Singapere |and Malaya and to ask for as- surances to the people of this coun- try, Austrslia and in the empire that everything possible is being done by the government to defend and secure this vital communication of the British Empire.” . Moving for adjournment is a par- liamentary method of éemanding debate. It must be supported by at least 40 members to be successful. Although Clement R. Atlee, who is Prime Min®ter Churchill's lieu- tenant in Parliament, and Foreign Segretary Anthony Eden have &pok- en, there has been no comprehensive statement from the government since the invasion of Malaya began. | Mr. Churchill went to Bucking- ham palace to report to King George VI on his trip. Critics were understood to want’ Mr. Churchill to make a statement at least on the Orient. if not on the general war organization which he | is believed still working to perfect in conferences here following his Washington talks. Transfers among the heads of the defense, supply and diplomatic serv- ices were anticipated as results of the conferences. It was suggested that branch offices of Whitehall, the British Foreign Office, be es- tablished in several world capitals to co-operate with the United Na- tions. Conversely, it is expected that the Allies, including the United States, would strengthen their representa- | tions in London. Russia was ex- pected possibly to send some high | official to repay Foreign Minister Anthony Eden’s recent call and to | continue cellaberation. monwusssvansce’ | Insiructions Are Given To Nationals of \'xis Nations All German, Italian and Jananese nationals must bring their alien registration receipt cards when they apply for certificates of identifica- tion, the Justice Department warned today.

Japan, one military observer re- marked, must be aware she cannot afford to have Gen. MacArthur's men emerge in a role analagous to that of World War I's “old con- temptibles” — the original British Expeditionary Force—whose resist- ance did much to dislocate the Germans’ initial timing in France and paved the way for the “miracle of the Marne.” Gen MacArthur's troops already have a strong claim to the “contemptible” tradition, for ; they have diverted a sizable portion | of the enemy front-line strength | and upset Japan's time table. Battle Near Decisive Stage, Japs Declare TOKIO, Jan. 19 (Official Broad- | cast).—A Domei dispatch from the Japanese Army in Luzon declared today that the battle against Gen. MacArthur's forces for the Batan Peninsula was near a decisive stage. The dispatch said the stubborn- ness of the American resistance, strong barricades blocking jungle paths, and flanking fire from hid- | den American artillery had held the Japanese advance to “but a few meters per hour.” It quoted information purport- ing to show that Gen. MacArthur had drawn up three main lines of | defense across the peninsula north- west of Manila Bay. Domei said these were a first line from Abueay on Manila Bay to Mount Natib, south of Olongapo; a second line, based on fortified po- sitions a few miles farther south, and a third line acrogs the peninsu- la in the Marivales Mountains, only a few miles from the southernmost tip of Batan. Domei said the Japanese had brought up reinforcements and were using dive bombers against the American defense position (presum- ably the first of the lines Domei de- scribed since it did not claim that any had been breached). A ill manages to pile on top of a ter- rific schedule is a source of never | ending amazement to his aides. In( the midst of planning for the Anglo- | American prosecution of the war, of | discussing the speed-up of American industry, of pacifying the envoys of | | the fighting democracies and the | representatives of the Empire, Mr. | Churchill found time to think of a little English girl in a Washington boarding school. His memory for names and ac- quaintances was responsible for sending a very thrilled young per- son up to the White House for dinner a few nights ago. Anne- Curzon Howe, daughter of the late | British Naval Attache, was sum- moned to meet Mr. Churchill, who remembered when he heard of her | presence in Washington, that he knew “some of the Howes in Eng- land.” Presents Pour In.

The guards were ordered to walk on tiptoe.
