As we ‘Remember Pearl Har- bor,’ let us all take its tragic les- son seriously to heart and avoid | similar errors in the fleld of our own responsibilities. i “The more important thing to re- | member is that we are at war with capable and ruthless adversaries, who seek and will attempt our de- struction by any means available. At this moment our only protection | in this city is unremitting lefl-nce[ and a completion of every element | of our Citizens’ Defense Corps without further loss of time.” 24 Sirens Installed Now. In another official instruction, Mr. Young provided that clergymen at- tending the sick or on other errands of mercy are to be passed through all warden or police lines during an emergency. The clergymen will wear the white arm band and will be provided an official card of per- sonal identification by Police Chief Kelly. Standard windshield markers also will be supplied to drivers of emergency vehicles. At the same time District officials said they anticipated that “within a month” the entire system of air- raid warning signalling system will be installed and ready for use. There are now installed 24 of the 41 elec- tric sirens ordered some time ago, | officials said. Eleven air pressure horns have been ordered and negotiations are under way for eight steam actuated horns. A survey now | is under way to find out how many and what plan have 24-h steam pressure sBlefto operatd steam signalling devices. Casualty Stations. The 82 casualty stations are located at strategic points according to population in fire houses, schools | and other buildings. They are | under the immediate supervision of Dr. John A. Reed, thief of Emer- gency Medical Services. At least 12 workers are to be | assigned to each station, including teams of doctors, treined nurses and nurses’ aides, The medical teams are to be| supplemented by trained stretcher bearers, the latter to be organized in | squads of 12 men. Their jobs will be to get the injured to casualty stations. Civilien defense officials have ar- ranged to supplement the inade- quate supply of ambulances with | taxicabs equipped with stretchers. Work May Be Dangereus. Eight stretcher - bearer squads have been organized so far, some with 9, some with 12 and one with | 36 members. “The Emergency Medical Service | has been so organized that almost | any person injured during an emer- gency will have almost immediate medical attention and evacuation,” Dr. Reed said. “The service of the litter bearer squads is one of the mast important. It may be danger- ous and certainly will be arduous. W¢ need good men for this service.” Persons volunteering as stretcher begrers have been asked to report to sthe Civilian Defense Volunteer Office, 501 Pennsylvania avenue N.W., or to either the air-raid wayden or Civilian Defense Com- miftee head in their community. v e AURWNE AGmAWNS | | The United States Coast Guard nedds men between the ages of 18 and 31 .

Lombard Plane Crash May Bring Stricter Rules By the Associated Press. of afrliners were forecast by the Civil Aeronautics Board as the re- sult of the crash of a Transcon- tinental & Western Airliner near Las Vegas, Nev., January 16. All 22 persons aboard the plane were killed. They included Carole Lombard and 15 Army fiyers. The board said it had under con- sideration more rigid rules as a result of the investigation. “Evidence revealed that some air- liner pilots have not been use of all the navigational alds provided by the Federal Govern- ment when flying under night con- tact (visual fiying) conditions,” the board said. Meanwhile, the board blgmed the fatal erash of a Northwest Airlines plane in Minnesota last fall on several factors, chief of which was pm. Priday. The Advance Gifts Stricter rules for night operation Battleship Alabama, Sixth of Class, fo Be Launched Next Month 35,000-Ton Vessel to Cost $80,000,000; Will Have Nine 16-Inch Guns The United States is set to start another 35000-ton battleship, the U. S. S. Alabama, on its way in the sea fight to defeat the Axis. The ship's first ride will be down | the ways of the Norfolk Navy Yard | on February 16. Then the huge | battlewagon will be taken to & fit-| ting-out dock to receive its ordnance | and other equipment. Mrs. Lister Hill, wife of the Sen- | ator from Alabama, is to sponsor | the ship at the ceremonies, and will | smash the champagne bottle over. its prow. When the release trigger is pulled and the big ship starts down the ways, it will be the sixth of its class to be launched since the Navy began expanding the fleet two years ago. | With few differences, .the Ala- bama is patterned after the bat- tleships Washington, North Caro- lina, North Dakota, Massachusetts and Indiana. . The Washington and North Caro- | lina have been commissioned and are presumed to be in service with | the fleet, and the latter three have been launched and are belng com- pleted. To Cost More Than $80,000,000. Destined to cost more than $80.- | 000,000, the ship will mount nine 16-inch guns, 10 turrets of two 5-| |inch guns on each side, and the | usual complement of anti-aircraft | guns, details of which are a Naval secret. High Navy officers believe ships of this class to be equal, if not better, than any afloat. | A total of 12,225421 man hours of | labor have gone into the construc- | | tion of the Alabama, which is the first capital ship to be launched at the Norfolk Navy Yard in nearly 50 years. The Texas was bullt and iaunched here during the Spanish- American War, and the North Carolina was begun during the first World War but was scrapped under terms of the disarmament treaty. The new Alabama is the fourth Navy ship to bear the name. | The first had a strange life. It was almost 50 years in completion, and when launched was known as | the New Hampshire instead of the Alabama. She was authorized in | the enthusiasm for ships that fol- | lowed the War of 1812, but her authorization contained a clause that authorized the President to leave new ships “on the stocks and kept in the best state of preserva- | tion” until needed. Thus. the ship | was not completed until 1864. Confederate Raider Named Alabama. ‘The second Alabama was a | 10-gun, 80-ton schooner, purchased | | by the Navy and renamed the Fox. The third Alabama was a battle- | ship of 11.000 tons. She became a | member of the Great White Fleet | and went part way around the world. She sailed in 1907 for the ‘West Coast on the first cruise ever | made by a large fieet of battleships. | The Alsbama was transferred to he Army for a target ship in 1924 'and was sunk in firing practice. | Another ship which bore the name was a steam sloop of nearly | 1,040 tons, and was a famous Con- | federate raider during the Civil | ‘War. She was credited with having | destroyed 70 ships before beéing bot- tled in a French port and destroyed by the U. 8. S. Kearsarge, under command of Capt. John A. Winslow. | She never sailed under the Stars | and Stripes.

In a statemen! ued by Norman M.

SINGAPORE, Sunday, Feb. 1.— Sultan Ibrahim of Johore said today he would stay with. his people “no matter what happens to me or may be said against me by critics far away from this troubled land.” When I called to say good-bye as the vanguard of the approaching Japanese Army neared the outskirts of Johore Bahru we talked in the drawing room of his palace where I so often enjoyed his hospitality. A silver plaque on the wall behind him bore the motto of the Sultans of Johore: “Kepahad Allah” (unto God ree signed). Palace Shaken. Just before I arrived Japanese bombs biasted a crater in the road- way and downed telephone and elece tric light wires. Nearby anti-air- craft guns shook the®palace when Japanese planes came over again during lunch, but the Sultan paid scant notice. He told me his British advisers |and officers had left but that all his Malay Ministers were staying with him. “I told my Indian policemen thcy could leave but they declined,” he said. “My Sikh watchman just came to attention and said: ‘Sa- lamat Johore' (Long live Johore.)" The Sultana, the former Marcella Mendl, a Rumanian girl whom the Sultan married during the London blitz in 1940, told me she would stay with her husband. Resolved to Carry on. I lingered to urge the Sultan to leave while there was still time, telling him what T had seen in the Japanese occupied areas of China | and Indo-China, but he was firm in his resolve to carry on in Johore as best he could. He said he would like to go to Australia, especially since he had come to know and admire Maj. Gen. Henry Gordon Bennett and his “Aussies.” “They are real men and I'd do anything for them,” the Sultan said. As I left, the Sultan, who is 68, wistfully recalled visits to Britain and the United States. “Tell Hollywood and Honolulu I am coming back some day,” were his parting words.
