C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, X Singapore Is Ready 1942, 61 Cavalry Regiments Sinkings Cut Daily Hanrahan Says State Are Reported Used By Japanese Army Arms Do Not Compare With Those Used by U. S. Troops, However Bw the Associated Press. An estimate that the Japanese Army is making use of possibly 61 regiments of cavalry eomprising al- together 33,000 or raore riding and pack horses came today from the Cavalry Journal. Bome Japanese cavalry units were landed in the Philippines in late December at the start of the in- vasion, Gen. Douglas MacArthur has reported. They have not figured, however, in official reports of the fighting at eclose quarters on the rugged Batan Peninsula, although the terrain, forbidding %o tanks, was viewed as well suited to horse transport, By American military standards, Japanese cavalry is poorly armed, Iacking the armored scout cars and | other auxiliary mechanized equip- ment which makes the existing two United States Army Cavalry divi- sions and other mounted units hard-hitting as well as fast-mov- ing instruments of warfare. The Japanese horsemen are credited nevertheless with a record of mili- tary usefulness against the Chinese. Japs Rely on Saber. Japanese cavalrymen still rely on the saber, every officer and man being equipped with a weapon about 3 feet long. American Cavalry discarded the saber after the first World War, except for riot duty Every trooper and officer of Amer- fcan Cavalry units is srmed instead with either a pistol or carbine— the latter a short barrel rifle. Japanese horses, officials said, are smaller on the average than those in | the United States but have some thoroughbred blood. “In general, the Japanese doctrine with reference to the use of cavalry is very much like our own,” said the Journal. “The following excerpt. however, from one of their regula- tions may be of interest: ‘Modern eavalry not only can defend itself successfully from motorized-mech- anized unts of the enemy, but it ean crush them.'” 42 Regimenis Confirmed. The most recent confirmed infor- mation is that the Japanese have 25 cavalry regiments, including 8 of non-divisional cavairy organtzed into brigades, and 17 regiments of divis- jonal cavalry. “Reliable but unconfirmed infor- mation, however, indicates that Japan now has approximately 61 in fantry divisions and that the divi- sional cavalry has correspondingly | been increased to 61 divisional cav- | alry regiments,” the Journal said. | “Moreover, recent Russian trans- | Iations state that the Japanese ex- | pect to build up large forces of eavalry, heavily reinforced, to be used as independent eavalry.” G.

Seven tankers have been sunk in the current campaign, Navy figures indicate, and one, the Malay, was not sunk, but was put out of | commission for some time. Majority Tankers.

Han- rahan today told the Arlington County Board he opposss a plan of the State Highway Commission calling for the county to purchase rights-of-way for construction of a proposed Fairfax drive, connecting Clarendon with Falls Church. Under the plan, the State would take over the county-acquired land and would construct the new road, in exchange for which the county would take over maintenance of North Washington boulevard which is an existing State highway rough- ly paralleling the proposed new route. The master zoning map and ac- companying new ordinance was presented by Zoning Administrator Donald R. Locke and Planning En- gineer Frank L. Dieter. A series of five public hearings will be held before the board acts. Calls for State Funds. The county manager said Arling- ton is financially unable at present to embark on an extensive land- buying program and that he could see no reason why the State should not obtain the rights-of-way for developing one of its highways as in other sections of Vir- ginia. For the past two years Mr. Han- rahan has negotiated with the State Highway Department and before the death of Highway Commission Chairman H. G. Shirley about three months ago, Virginia road officials had reacted favorably to the sug- gestion that the State should obtain the required lands and develop Fairfax drive. Action was held up, however, because it was found that authorizing legislation would be necessary at the present session of the General Assembly. The Highway Commission has written Senator William D. Medley and Delegate Charles R. Fenwick both of Arlington, declaring it is unwilling to purchase the land. Arlington Plea Opposed. Brig. Gen. James A. Anderson, chairman of the State commission, wrote the Arlington legislators, “we do not believe the Highway Department should buy the right- of-way and pay the construction Federal decision to make available food, camping equipment and their | .ot in addition thereto.” Mr. Fenwick forwarded the views | huge stocks of cotton and other met an Indian trapper who guided o the State roads officials to Mr. staples held by the Commodity|.them to the next trap line. They | ganrahan and the county manager replied he would not recommend the State's plan to the County Board, nor would he negotiate for the rights-of-way unless instructed otherwise by the board. “The State should either place Washington boulevard in a decent condition or else provide us with another highway which we so0 badly need,” Mr. Hanrahan said. “The Highway Commission authorizes right-of -way buying for other roads, some of which parallel existing routes, and there is no reason why this cannot be done here.” Hialeah Park Entries For Monday By the Associated Press. 3 - FIRST RACE—Purse. $1.200. special weights; maidens, 2-year-olds: 3 furlongs.
