[would require his removal from British Retreat Before Superior Numbers of Invading Force By the Associated Pres RANGOON, Burma, Jan. 20.—The Japanese have severed the Burma panhandle in a westward drive to the sea which forced a British with- drawal from Tavoy, tin center and one of the two most important coestal towns on the 400-mile neck of Burmese territory stretching down the Malay Peninsula. A British communique yesterday said imperial defenders, beset by superior numbers of invaders, fell back from Tavoy to more favorable positions. The retirement presum- ably was to the north toward Moul- mein, chief town of the panhandle and site of 2n R. A. F. base, some 170 miles away by mountain road. Base for R. A. F. Attacks. Tavoy, a town of 25000 on the | estuary of a river of the same name, |had been used by the R. A. F. |as a base for attacks on Japanese airfields at Bangkok and other points in Thailand as well as against the invaders driving down the Ma- | lay Peninsula. | _The British announcement said | Japanese fighter planes were be- | lieved now based at Tavoy. Moul- | mein, target of repeated Japanese | attacks, again was raided yester- day 2nd Rangoon had another alarm | when planes were seen north of | the city, but it was not disclosed where they came from. No casualties were reported in the latest Moulmein attack. Nine- teen persons were said to have been killed in a previous raid. The fall of Tavoy followed a four- day Japanese drive some 35 miles | across the narrow Burmese pan- handle from the Thai border. The invaders first clashed with the | British at Myitta, 12 miles inside | Burma, and continued on apparently | | through a pass in the lofty moun- tains west of Tavoy. Meanwhile, the British detention of Premier U Saw of Burma for plotting with the Japanese was re- ceived calmly here. Burmese Fight Beside British.

As a phase of the conflict so close to home, the submarine war claimed a lion’s share of interest here, but the battle stakes were much bigger in the South Pacific. And, except for an occasional bright spot. the battle fared ill for the United Nations yesterday.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20—The Tokio radio last night broadeast what the National Broadcasting Co. listening post interpreted to be the a grave emergency and by the de- |voices of captured Americans re-| corded on a boat while they were en route from Wake Island to Japan. “So far we have been treated fine—I think,” said a man who iden- tified himself as Hudson T.

I think they are doing all right and they are very anxious to get back to the States. When we do we shajl see you all.” Mrs. Cunningham Sure Husband ‘Enjoyed’ Perils ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 20 (Special) — Mrs. Winfield Scott Cunningham, whose husband reminded her by said N airmail shortly before he was cap- | tured by the Japanese at Wake | Island that “I always land on my feet,” had renewed faith today in | his promise that his reunion with his family is only being delayed. A Japanese radio announcement | that Comdr. Cunningham, who was | in charge of all naval operations at Wake, had been landed in Japan with more than 1200 other pris- oners from Wake, ended weeks of uncertainty about his fate. Mrs. Cunningham and her 9-year- old daughter Valerie had last heard from Comdr. Cunningham in a con- fident airmail letter he had written December 20, three days before the island fell to the Japanese after the marine garrison's heroic de- | fense. Is Sure He Enjoyed It. The Navy Department cleared confusion surrounding Comdr.

Devereux of Chevy Chase, who was in com- | parties were wiped out before they | could disappear into the jungles, but | mand of the marine force there, and the Navy Department had no in- | formation about what had hap- pened to him. Comdr. Cunningham was assigned to Wake Island in November. “Regardless of what he and his men had to go through,” Mrs. Cun- ningham said, “I'm sure he rather enjoyed the whole thing. And I'm certain he remained unthinkably calm.” The last letter she received from her husband, Mrs. Cunningham said, arrived by airmail on January 6. One page long, it had been posted by a Marine Corps major who flew ;rtfim the island shortly before it ell.

Cunningham entered the Naval Academy from Wisconsin in 1916. Mrs. Cunningham. the former Louise Davey of Oakland, Calif,, was married to him in 1927. She said most of his naval service had been in aviation.

In general, however, the Japanese 1 said their forces were “turning aside from their sweeping drive” in or- der to “crush opposition on the | Malay mainland and consolidate their position before getting into position to open the general of- fensive against the island.” on Singapore naval base are still blazing, Domei declared.

In London, a spokesman said there was no confirmation of Axis reports that Japanese landings had occurred as close as 25 miles from Singapore.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Jan. 20. —Shelled and torpedoed by a lurking Axis submarine off the North Carolina coast where the tanker Allan Jackson was sunk Sunday, the 8,206-ton tanker Malay reached port under her| own power late last night with a story of attack without warning | in Monday's pre-dawn darkness. | The crash of a shell on the bridge was the first alarm for the crew of 34 aboard the unarmed vessel. Crewmen said the Malay changed her course immediately and sought to turn her stern toward the unseen submarine. Another shell ripped through the port wing of the bridge and three others struck aft, Two-Hour Attack. ‘When the tanker kept afloat the U-boat apparently maneuvered for the kill, but a torpedo which struck | amidships failed to deliver a death blow. The submersible withdrew | after a two-hour attack The Malay, empty and in ballast, was proceeding south. Had she been loaded with oil she might have suffered the same fate as the Allan Jackson, believed to have lost 22 of her crew of 35 in flame-covered | waters where she sank. Adams J. Hay, 45-year-old second | cook of the Malay from Burlington, | N. Y., was killed by a splinter from a shell which pierced the bulkhead | above his bunk and four others lost | their lives when a lifeboat capsized | in being launched from the Malay. They were Clifford E. Ashby, 23, fireman, of Port Arthur, Tex uel Derosa, chief cook, Jersey City Andrew Anderson, oiler, and Wil liam L. Miller, mess boy. for whom no addresses were available. Nearby Ships Not Attacked. | Boatswain Walter Bruce of Staun- | ton, Ill., said five or six other ships neer the Malay were not attacked A Swedish ship stood by and put over a boat to ask if assistance were | needed. | “I was on the bridge when the shelling began,” said Second Mate William Arthur Greene of New Lon- don, Conn. “I did not see the sub- marine, but I did see the wake of the torpedo before it struck.” Others of the crew said they did not see the attacker. “Nobody was panicky,” Mr. Bruce said in describing the attack, “but the catwalk did a big business as | the men moved toward lifeboats.” | Capt. John M. Dodge. 69. of Balti- | more is master of the tanker. Crew members included Philip Cauthorn of Tappahannock, Va. Six Hours in Open Boat. Meanwhile, 7 of the 13 men known ! to have survived the sinking of the | | 6.635-ton Standard Oil tanker Allan Jackson, sunk in a torpedo attack | | off the North Carolina coast Sun- day, were brought to Norfolk. The seven men had spent six hours in an open boat. The desperate struggle against suction waters and flames was told | by Roif Clausen, boatswain, who was in charge of the only lifeboat which managed to clear the blazing tanker. “I ran out on deck,” he related, “and then there was another ex- plosion, the ship seemed to be part- ing in the middle and there was fire_everywhere. “The No. 3 lifeboat in the stern was being lowered. I jumped in and we managed to get her down after some little trouble. Peril From Propeller. “Then we had a scare that was a real scare” The propeller was still turning and we had to battle desperately to keep from being sucked in. Several times I thought that we would be pulled into the blades and ground to death. but every one aboard realized the danger and we were strong with the strength born of the knowledge of certain death if we failed.” “We had another battle on avoid- ing the fire on the water. | “It seemed that the flames were | everywhere and in a short time the | sea was lighted for miles in every | direction.” Mr. Clausen related that the | party set a westward course and named lookouts for passing vessels “About four hours after the tor- | pedoing we sighted a vessel,” he said. | | “At first we didn't signal her for fear she might be the submarine, then we decided to make our posi- tion known and fired the Very (flare) pistol,” Apparently the rescuing vessel was not overly anxious to make contact with the lifeboat and desired to be convinced of her identity. Mr. Claussen then used a flashlight to send a message in Morse and the rescue vessel stood by and picked them up. | |14 British Exchanged | For 6 Pro-Vichy French | By the Associated Press.

It's one round of songs, Probably the most unusual de- fense project in the city is under way at Wilson Teachers' College. Student teachers are being taught to entertain children in an air raid, to keep them amused and occupied at a time when they might fall prey to_panic. The idea is that & raid might occur when numerous children are not &t home, but are in their schools or might have to seek the safety or some nearby building, like a church. Children in the neighborhood are brought in for these classes, and the students are taught to keep boys and girls occupied and contented. Under the general direction of Miss Alberte Walker, the students are instructed in songs, stories, games, choric (concerted) speaking and other forms of amusement. There's a teacher for each division | of entertainment. 40 Students Taking Course. Naturally the younger children are those for whom the program is| devised. Should bombers attack | Washington, groups of them might | have to be taken into whatever shelter was available, and, under| the plan being developed at Wilson, | teachers or student teachers trained to appointed places and bolster the children's morale. The children picked for the col- dances, games and general fun. Di- rectors of the classes point out that | it's not enough for a children’s in- structor to depend on impromptu ingenuity, but she should have a repertory of songs, games and other devices which she can use readily in_an emergency. Forty students zre taking the un- usual course. Assisting Miss Walker | in imparting guidance in the various | forms of child amusement are Dr. Wendell Cruse, Miss Ethel Sweeney, Mrs. Bernice Angelico, Miss Dorothy | Kalb, Mrs. Ruth Webb, Miss Kate ‘Trent, Miss Pauline Mattingly and | Miss Alma Ebeling.

Camoufiage is the Americans’ only defense against detection and they have become masters at it. | I stood within 20 yards of a bat- | tery of big gunsof a U.S. A.F.F.E. | artillery unit today and didn't spot | he guns until they opened up with | earth-shaking blasts. | The target was a large concentra- tion of Japanese troops having a midday meal in a clearing 6 miles away. This was a definite objective and the battery kept up constant fire as Mister Moto's observation planes kept pottering overhead. “Hello to Tojo.” Capt. Lawrence Meade of Red- wood City, Calif., commander of one of the batteries, said of the shelling “these are to say ‘hello’ to Tojo.” Tojo, however, talked back a few minutes later with a series of rounds from 75s and 105s which spattered our fox holes with shrapnel and neade more deep bomb shell holes all around the guns but caused no damage or casualties. The Japanese fired twice the num- ber of shells we had sent over and Col. Alexander Quintard. regimental commander, explained “that's what we call retaliatory fire. It looks like Tojo got a little riled, which means we probably got our target. We like | it when we make him waste so many shells.” Col. Quintard praised highly the conduct of American officers and Filipino troops. “All are taking it and handing it back in fine style although our work would be more effective with assist- ance of a little aerial spotting of targets and observation of results,” he said 1 Filipinos Remain Calm. Throughout the Japanese shelling the Filipino troops calmly stuck to their telephones and lookout sta- tions, noting results. After 30 min- utes, other United States batteries opened fire and “neutralized” Japa- nese guns, which meant they either hit the guns or dropped shells so close the gunners had to seek shel- ter. While the Japanese were firing. Col. Quintard kept track of the shells, calling “here they come” as the whistle was heard, followed shortly by the explosion, the whir of shrapnel, and then the distant boom of guns. When the shooting stopped we brushed the dirt away but discov- ered no one was hurt. And Col Quintard quoted the old gag about the futility of ducking since if a shell has your name on it it will get you. He was promptly “neu- tralized” by some other men whose names are easy to spell—even for the Japanese. Walter E. Iren;, Di‘r;clor 0f Mefals Foundation, Dies Walter E.

The Budget Bureau probably will place all transferred employes on a per diem basis for 15 days after arrival in their new home towns, it was stated. Under this plan the employes will be assured of expense money in addition to salary until they have found permanent living quarters, While work of remodeling the Export Leaf Tobacco Building, where the Patent Office is to be located in Richmond, is progressing satisfac- torily, the job is still far from com- pleted, the administration said.
