Bottles VALLEY FORGE All American People To Blame for Hawaii Atfack, Barkley Says ‘Smugness’ of Public and Congress Cited; Truman Defends Wheeler ‘The American people gnernlly. including members of ngress, must share some of the responsi- bility for what happened at Pearl Harbor on December 17, because of a “smugness” that prevailed in this country before the attack, Majority Leader Barkley told the Senate yes- terday. Senator Truman, Democrat, of Missourj had just reviewed the his- tory of proposed wire-tapping leg- islation in recent years to support his claim that the absence of such a law had nothing to do with the failure to detect in advance the surprise attack on Hawali and to show that Chairman Wheeler of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee had never done any- thing to hold up wire-tapping bills. The Missouri Senator said he was prompted to lay the matter before the Senate because Senator Wheeler had been subjected to unfair crit- icism in connection with the argu- ment that if a wire-tapping law had been passed the planned at- tack on Pearl Harbor might have been uncovered. Advised to Be “Tough-Skinned.” Senator Barkley joined in to say he had not “heard of anybody stupid enough to think that the debacle at Pearl Harbor was caused by the failure of Congress to pass wire- tapping legislation.” Then the ma- jority leader added: “All of us must take more or less responsibility for Pearl Harbor— everybody in the United States and every member of the Congress. We might go back a number of years from now and recite what might have been done in the Pacific that was not done that would have averted the disaster at Pearl Har- | bor.” He advised his colleagues they | would have to “be a little tough- skinned” about what people say. Chairman Walsh of the Senate Nawval Affairs Committee interposed to say he assumed that when Sena- tor Barkley suggested that “all of us ought to assume some responsi- bility for what happened at Pearl | Harbor he refers to the general smugness of the American people, and he does not mean that Congress has failed to take any action that might have changed the situation.” Smugness Called General. “I did have in mind the general smugness of the American people,” Senator Barkley replied. “Which the Congress shared?” sald Senator Walsh. “Of course, we are part of the American people,” added Senator Barkley, “and there was a certain smugness on the part of Congress. I could go into some specific in- stances. For instance, I think Guam should have been fortified.” In denouncing critics of Senator Wheeler in connection with the wire-tapping bills of the last few years, Senator Truman said & bill on the subject was defeated in the House last June, and that Senator Wheeler, in naming & subcommittee of seven to consider #he subject, placed on it & majority of supporters of the administration’s foreign pol- icy. The Montana Senator at all times proceeded “fairly and square- ly” in dealing with the wire-tapping legislation, said Senator Truman. Senator Truman asserted that, “in the first place, the Department of Justice definitely took the position that under the present law as it now stands wire-tapping as such is not unlawful.” He quoted from a letter the Justice Department sent a House Committee last March, stating there is no Federal statute punishing wire- tapping alone. The only offense under present law, the letter con- | tinued, is to “intercept any com- | munication and divulge or publish | the same.” Philippine (Continued From First Page.) American motor torpedo boat has torpedoed a Japanese warship in Manila Bay. Making these disclosures, the Navy also revealed that one of its tank- ers, the U. S. S. Neches, a 5,400-ton craft, had been sunk in an undes- ignated area by an enemy subma- rine. Fifty-six men have not been accounted for, it said, but 126 are safe at an unnamed port. ‘The Neches was the seventh American naval vessel to go to the bottom since the war began on De- cember 1. She was built in 1920 and | was armed with four 5-inch and| two 3-inch guns. Not Claimed to Be Reinforcements. | The Navy gave no details about | the Navy bluejackets and marines | now fighting with Gen. MacArthur, | simply stating that they had been‘ organized into a battalion and were doing battle with the Japs. They‘w presumably consist of several hun- dred men. ‘There was speculation that these | forces may have been left behind | Gen. MacArthur's lines when the Navy withdrew from the Philip- pines. Although the Navy announced when its base at Cavite was abandoned that its personnel had been evacuated, it was recalled that Gen. MacArthur’s original Batan line encompassed the secondary naval station at Olongapo on Subic Bay. When the Navy announced the formation of the battalion yesterday, there was at first a disposition to believe that it represented reinforce~ ments sent to Batan from the out- side world, but this impression later was corrected. Ship Attacked in Bay. The attack on a Japanese warship in Manila Bay was another chapter in the growing record of the accom- plishments of the Navy's powerful little motor torpedo boats, which skim over the wave crests at 70 to 80 miles per hour, loose their torpedoes and zig-zag away, count- ing on their speed to prevent ac- curate hits by enemy guns.

C, Russians Hurl Reinforced Nazi Armies Back On Smolensk and Advance in Donets Basin ‘Germans’ System Of Defenses’ Pierced In Kharkov Area By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, Feb. 4—A fierce re- newal of the Russian power drive west of Moscow is hurling rein- forced German divisions back on the key invasion base of Smoq| lensk, 230 miles west of the cap- ital, the government newspaper Izvestia reported today. It said heavy fighting was in prog- ress in several vital towns in the sentral sector, where front dispatches | reported many villages and towns in Smolensk Province already cleared of the invaders. The powerful Red Army counter- offensive into the Donets Basin at the same time was said to be pro- gressing without check, with the Soviet high command's strategy of constant flanking and outflanking maneuvers keeping the German di- visions off balance all along the line. The Kuibyshev radio announced that “the German system of de- fense” in the Kursk-Kharkov area of the southwestern front had been pierced “both in north and south,” and that “the enemy is retreating, with Soviet troops in close pursuit.” (The German high command summed up the Russian war in a single senjence today: “On the eastern front, there was lively fighting.”) Reds Advance in Kharkok Area. Russian troops which captured Petrovskye, a district center 175 miles east of Kharkov, the Russion Pittsburgh, were said to be pursuing the remnants of the 28th and 68th German Infantry Divisions south- westward. Mobile units knifing for- ward south of Kharkov were re- ported to have swept into Krasno- pavlosk, 16 miles north of Lozovaya. A high Russian military authority just returned from the front said that in many sectors the Germans appeared to have reached some sort | of fortifications and were throwing | fresh reserves of men and machines into a desperate stand, discarding their earlier tactics of withdrawing and at the same time rescuing as much material as possible, Izvestia proclaimed that in “trying | to stop the pressure of the Red Army, the enemy is introducing new reserves into the battle and is un- dertaking counterattacks. Our glo- rious fighters are repulsing these attacks, causing heavy losses, and are continuing their offensive.” 3,500 Nazis Killed. Without geographical details, a midnight communique said the Red ment in most areas of the long winter front and levied a heavy toll of casualties. More than 230 German officers and men were killed in two recent engagements aground and a single air unit has dispersed and destroyed 3500 Nazis in attacks incident to destruction of invasion material, the Russians said. (The Berlin radio said Rus- sian troops in the Eastern Cri- mea—presumably all now based at Kerch in view of their aban- donment of Feodosiya—had coun- terattacked severely against the ‘Germans’ peninsular lines, but were driven back with heavy losses. (A British military commen- tator in London expressed belief the Russians’ position in the Cri- mea remained favorable and that “their hold on the Kerch Pen- insula has not been shaken.”) Official dispatches indicated that | Adolf Hitler had reinforced his east- ern front to some extent, but only at a heavy cost from guerrilla and | air force raids on their transport | facilities. Tass said German resistance on the Kalinin front northwest of Mos- cow was stiff, but futile. Soviet| units—sledding their artillery bat- teries into assault lines with the infantry—were declared to be ef- fectively overcoming defense forces despite repeated counterattacks, gun and mortar barrages and aerial op- | position.

No mention was made of how the Japanese vessel succeeded in getting inside. The attack occurred at night and “although under heavy fire of the warship’s guns, and in the full glare of her searchlights” the com- munique said, “the motor torpedo boat mnnlged to fire two torpedoes and survive the action without being hit.” Dr. John J.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4—A pretty 18 - year-old German - born blond, Lucy Boehmler, told a Federal Court jury today of her work as secretary to & man the Government claims was head of a German spy ring| operating in this country before the | United States entered the war. She worked, she said, for Ulrick von der Osten, alias Lopez, United States Attorney Mathias Correa described as the ringleader of the alleged gang until he was killed by a taxi here last spring. After his death, Miss Boehmler testified at the espionage trial of six men and a woman, she worked for Burt Frederick Ludwig, who took over Lopez’s post. In addition to spending even her leisure time in visits to Long Island | flying flelds and airplane factories, in the company of several of the defendants, Miss Boehmler said she copied newspaper clippings, maga- zine articles, extracts from books on military tactics, lists of Army camps and the number of divisions they housed and locations of de- fense factories. Lisbon Addresses Used. Lopez on one occasion gave Ludwig & number of addresses of business houses in Shanghai and Lisbon, she testified, addresses which Mr. Correa in his opening statement yesterday said were “mail drops” used by the defendants for trans- | mission of military secrets to the | German government. Miss Boehmler said Lopez told her he had spent & number of years in puespionage work in China and The trial is New York's second spy case in six months. Thirty-three men and women were sentenced to prison January 2 after conviction as spies in the first trial. Counted Planes at Factories. Miss Boehmler, who pleaded guilty to an indictment returned Septem- ber 4 and is named in the present trial indictment only as a co-con- spirator, testified that on one occa- sion she and some of the defendants toured Roosevelt and Mitchel Fields and the Grumman and Brewster plane factories, around and counted planes.” Surveyed Military Camps. Mr. Correa said that when Von der Osten was struck by the cab in Times Square, Ludwig, who was with him, grabbed the victim's brief case and disappeared.

Imperial Troops Sent Into Burma Fighting Supported by Planes Forces Skirmish With Japs Along 40 Miles Of Salween River By the Associated Press. RANGOON, Burms, Feb. 3 (De- layed). — Well-trained imperial troops hurled into the battle for Burma alongside native battalions skirmished tonight with Japanese patrols along 40 miles of the lower Salween River front, but a com- munique made clear that the Jap- anese thrusts had not taken on the power of a full-scale attack. ‘The communique disclosed that at least in some places slong the river north of abandoned Moulmein the British still held outposts east of the deep, wide jungle stream. One such British force was said to have met a small Japanese advance unit 30 miles north of Moulmein on the east side of the river. The imperial troops, sent into the fight over the last week end appar- ently were encountering only feeler thrusts by the Japanese—and hold- ing those well in check. They were supported by British bombers and British and American volunteer fighters who smashed time and dgain at Japanese batteries hidden on the river islands north of | Moulmein and Martaban, skimming in to the attack at tree-top level and encountering no Japanese aerial op- position. After the bombers had turned back, delayed action bombs still were exploding on the islands, destroying large areas. Rangoon had two air-raid alarms during the day, but no enemy planes were seen. Some bombs were said | to have been dropped on Toungoo, Iélhli;lly between Rangoon and Man- | alay.

BERN, Switzerland, Feb. 4—En- gineers and technicians of a world which now is devoting almost all its energies to war are fighting fever- ish battles in laboratory and shop in preperation for the third summer of struggle. ‘While American industry is gear- ing itself to produce enormous parks of tanks, planes and jeep cars, Italians today were praising & new tank which they said had proved a major support for Axis troops in| their new Libyan push. They say it is light weight, armed | with & canon of big caliber partic- ularly adapted to desert warfare be- cause it permits combat at greater range than British tanks and be- | cause it presents a poor target for counter fire. Russians “Secret Arms” Praised. ‘While praising their own weapons, the Italians noted that the Russians are using many “secret arms” in- | cluding a “P-34" tank of great which | seemed to “defy any shell.” German anti-tank fire had been unable to halt these tanks, and the | only certain way to combat them was to send in suicide volunteers | with gasoline bottles or grenades to burn or blow them up, one Italian dispatch said.

The British believe the Germans are planning to use great smoke- screens capable of blanketing a whole countryside in order to con- ceal their own movements of attack and confuse the defense when they start their spring offensive. It was tried experimentally in Flanders in 1940. Another new type of smoke screen is being used by Italy to blanket factories and industrial areas during air-raid alarms. Axis reports said the Pinns had captured a Russian gun which was fire automatically by a photo- electric circuit. ‘These reports also told of a Japa- nese inventor who has developed a machine gun capable of firing 9,000 shots a minute.
