A-6 X Brifish Sfand Firm After Being Driven Nearly fo Tobruk R. A. F. Inflicts Heavy Losses'on Lengthening Axis Supply Lines LONDON, Feb. 6.— British desert fighters, hurled back to the approaches of Tobruk, stif- fened their lines appreciably to- day while R. A. F. planes hurled destruction into the lengthened Axis supply lines. A British headquarters commu- hique st Cairo said there had been o change in the land situation yes- terday, indicating the Imperials were standing firm some 50 to 60 miles west of Tobruk, where a Brit- ish garrison successfully withstood a seven-month siege. Axis communiques, heard here by radio, bore this out. The Germans spoke vaguely of “pursuit of the en- emy in Eastern Cirenaica” and the Jtallans claimed the capture of Tmimi, 60 miles west of Tobruk. The Italians added that they were continuing “their pursuit” of the British “in the vicinity of Ain El Gazala,” which is some 30 miles west of Tobruk—but they made no claim to capture of the town. Axis Holds Initiative. The Axis still holds the initiative, a military commentator said, but he added that the mgin British force had not yet engaged the Germans| and Italians in a large-scale battle. ‘The only big British contingent which has fought the Axis in this fourth conquest of the desert was at Bengasi, and there “only part of our main force was engaged.” He declared there was no official information as to just how far the Germans had penetrated east of Derna and that he was not able to confirm an Axis report that their troops were now near Ain El Gazala. The mechanized reinforcements and supply columns of Field Mar- shal Gen. Erwin Rommel were at- tacked in the green mountains of the Jebel El Akdar region at the top of the Libyan hump. The British said a large number of vehicles were de- stroyed and burned and that many casuslties were inflicted on the Ger- mans and Italians. British Hold Out Stubbornly. The British apparently held stub- bornly to the flat desert region south of the Jebel El Akdar, and their columns have been active on | tain patrol duties as far west as Msus, sbout 70 miles southeast of Axis- Leld Bengasi. Military observers long have con- sidered the mountain region almost undefensible and easily flanked. ‘This has been borne out by the relative ease with which the area was taken by the British and twice by the Germans in the violently see- sawing campaign. It appeared possible today that the British had decided to make a stand at the eastern extremity of the mountain region. The British, at the outset of the campaign three months ago, asserted that their aim was to annihilate Gen. Rommel's army rather than capture miles of desert sand. Could Be Encircled. But if the Axis has been able to dispatch sufficient reinforcements of ‘men and material across the perilous Mediterranean, the British them- selves in the desert south of the mountains may face encirclement. British bombers ranged deep into Tripolitania, paying special attention to a motor transport park south of the chief supply base of Tripoll. Many explosions and fires visible for miles were observed. Communications in the Agedabia area were bombed and road convoys near Derna were attacked by fighter planes. The R. A. F. communique said several fuel-carrying vehicles ‘were destroyed. Axis aircraft, attempting to bomb a British airdrome, were intercepted and a Messerschmitt was shot down. Other enemy planes in the forma- tion were damaged. The British said they lost no planes. Axis bombers returned to the at- tack on Malta and the British acknowledged some damage. Dispute Over Flynn's Gift 0f Cow to President Settled By the Associated Press. CARMEL, N. Y., Feb. 6—A five- months dispute over the gift of a cow to President Roosevelt by Dem- ocratic National Chairman Edward J. Flynn has’ended with the ousted superintendent of Flynn’s Putham County farm peaceably settled in a cottage at nearby Lake Carmel. ‘Willlam Weisner and his family moved from the superintendent’s cottage yesterday while a town policeman armed with a dispossess order looked on. Mr. Flynn was granted the order last Saturday but agreed to a stay of execution. During the long proceedings, in- volving two dispossess actions, Mr. ‘Weisner’s attorney claimed the sup- erintendent protested when Mr., Flynn chose the best cow in the herd for the President’s Hyde Park estate, and was discharged. Mr. Weisner maintained he held a cpntract giving him the right to keep the proceeds for all milk sold after deducting enough funds for the farm’s needs. Mr. Flynn denied Mr. Weisner had a contract and said he had continued to occupy the superintendent’s quarters.

C, lvb& Ocean Compulsory Labor Law Urged o Meet Farm Emergency Work-or-Fight Plan Favored in Maryland To End Indifference By the Associated Press. A compulsory labor law similar to the World War measure is favored by P. C. Turner, Maryland Farm| Bureau president, to help overcome the farm labor shortage besetting Free State farmers in their efforts to fill increased wartime Pmducmm quotas. Such a work-or-fight formula ap- plied to all ablebodied men, he de- clared, is needed “to put an end to the widespread practice among cer- classes of farm and industrial labor of working two days a week and loafing five.” Indifference Reported. “From many sections of the State I get reports of such indifference, which threatens to cripple produc- tion of farm crop and factory out- put,” Mr. Turner told farm leaders and University of Maryland econ- omists yesterday. The State-wide Farm Defense Labor Committee, of which Mr. Turner is chairman, met to draft a wartime program of economy aimed at achieving increased production of all farm crops, especially dairy prod- ucts, poultry and cannery products. Reported enrollment of employ- able Charles County youths by the C. C. C. were characterized as “out- rageous” by Mr. Turner after per- sonally investigating complaints of Charles County farmers that the Federal organization was conducting raids on the potential farm labor supply. Demands Halt. “This thing must stop immediate- ly,” Mr. Turner declared. “While the Charles County situa- tion brought about by C. C. C. is very distressing, farmers neverthe- less recognized the splendid work being done by C. C. C. in supervising sofl conservation activities that are under way in various parts of the State,” he added. Meantime, Washington C. C. C. headquarters gave assurance that the policy of furloughing enrollees availeble for farm work would be continued. Ex-Navy Yard Worker Found Shot to Death A retired Navy Yard worker identified by police as George Carhart, 79, was found dead with a gun shot wound in his head in the bedroom of his home at 330 Ninth street SE. early today. Police found a revolver from which one shot had been fired lying near the body. Police said they had been informed the man had been in ill health and despondent for some time. - Sweden to Fly Supplies To Stranded Islanders BY the Associated Press. STOCKHOLM; Feb. 6.—The Swedish Air Force prepared a squadron of bombers to try to carry badly-needed supplies today to the marooned inhabitants of the Baltic island of Gotland, who have been cut off from the mainland for weeks by the unusually severe winter. All attempts of icebreakers to reach the island in recent weeks have been futile. Gotland lies in the middle of the Baltic Sea, about 50 miles off Sweden’s Bast coast. The inhabitants need drugs and carbide for illumination. THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST TODAY—Cross marks spot south of Kangean Island (1) where Tokio claims Allled navies were smashed two days ago.

Harry Covington, 71, former chief justice of the Distriet Supreme Court, were held at 10 o'clock this morning at his heme, 2320 Wyoming avenue N.W. Burial will be in Easton, Md. District Court, in general session yesterday afternoon, paid tribute to Mr. Covington and then adjourned out of respect to his memory. Justice Jesse C. Adkins, who prac- ticed law bofore Mr. Covington, spoke on behalf of the bench, and Attorney John S. Flannery spoke for the bar. The aldest member of District Court, Justice Jennings Bailey, who presided at the exercises held in the court’s general term room, de- clared that he had high respect for the legal ability, of the late chief justice. Death Announced to Court. Mr. Flannery officially announced Mr. Covington's death and lauded his “sunny dispositiop.” “The court was asked by Mr. Flannery to ad- journ out of respect to Mr. Coving- ton’s memory at the close of its session. The assemblage was told by Jus- tice Adkins: \ “Judge Covington was the third Chief Justice of this court before whom I had the honor of praeticing. “He came to us in the fall of 1914 and remained for nearly four years. Got Courthouse Remodeled. “His congressional experience was of great help to the court, for to him was largely due the credit for the remodeling of our Courthouse, which began during his term. “Those of us who practiced before him were deeply impressed by the soundness of his judgment, his hard common sense and his great legal ability; and just as important to the performance of his office, by his even temper, is unfailing courtesy and his genial disposition. “While his resigriation to return to practice was a real loss to the court, his deep interest in the ad- ministration of justice in this com- munity never lessened, and he could always be relied on to assist in every way in his power, as no one knows better than Mr. Flannery. Loss to Community. “Judge Covington’s sudden and untimely death is a real grief to us all, and is a distinct loss to this community and to the administra- tion of justice. “As proposed by Mr. Flannery, the minutes will show that the adjourn- ment of this court is out of respect to his memory.” Mr. Covington was head of one of the largest law firms in the city, Covington, Burling, Rublee, Ache- son & Shorb. He represented the first Maryland district in the House of Representatives from 1909 to 1914. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ethel K. Covington; a son, J. Harry Covington, 3d, and a daughter, Mrs. Lewis Clark. Observer From Burma Praises Volunteer Flyers By the Associated - - LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6—Lt.

Invading Javanese destroyed the early city in 1365 and it remained almost uninhabited until Sir Stam- ford started the first trading estab- lishment in 1819. Now the Jav- anese, inhabitants of Java, in the Netherlands Indies, are allies of the British and their fate depends to & degree on the success of the Brit- ish Empire troops in repelling an invasion from the opposite direction.

Cripps Quofed as Refusing Supply Minister Post By the Associated Press. LONDON, Feb. 6—The London Daily Mail in a special interview last night quoted Sir Stafford Cripps, former British Ambassador to Moscow, as saying he had re- fused to become Minister of Supply because the post did not carry war cabinet rank and that he pre- ferred to return to the House of Commons “with an open mind.” Cripps had been mentioned prom- inently as a possible successor to Lord Beaverbrook, who has become Minister of War Production. Prime Minister Churchill told Commons yesterday he would clarify Lord Beaverbrook’s duties in a state- ment at the next meeting of Com- mons. “I do not propose to try to make things difficult for the government by merely becoming a critic,” the Daily Mail quoted Cripps. “But neither do I propose to be afraid of saying what I think ought to be said. For the-rest of my lifetime I think there will be sufficient to do trying to get the world back on its legs. I want to make my con- tribution toward world and na- tional reconstruction.” He declared he had abandoned “for good,” the newspaper stated, his law practice which was re- puted to have brought him £25,000 ($100,000) a year.

Operation of Pacific CouncilinWashingfon And London Disclosed Experts Here Say More Reverses in Far East Warfare Are Likely By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt asserted today that a Pacific council had been in operation here and in London for a month and that there was very close co-operation in its activities. The Chief Executivg, replying to press conference questions, said the council ‘was handling questions of both a military and political nature and that it had offices here and in London. Questions of a purely military nature, he said, are referred to Army and Navy chiefs of staff while those of a governmental or political char- acter are laid before the appropriate governmental bodies in Washington and in the British capital. He pointed out that the Dutch government in exile has its head- quarters in London and that the British dominions also are repre- sented there. In the "A. B. D. A—American, British, Dutch, Australian—area, Mr. Roosevelt noted, the military | command is under the supreme di- rection of Gen. Archibald P. Wavell. The President went on to say, although he conceded it was a slip- shod way of putting it because it was difficult to differentiate, that operations on which Gen. Wavell would make the decision might be termed tactical whereas certain long-range strategical questions must be referred to Washington and London. L These strategical problems are those which may be divided into strictly military and naval cate- gories or into political or govern- mental questions. Where they have an element of both the military and political, the President said, they will be referred both to political and military au- thorities. ‘When questions must be referred, he continued, two copies are made, one for Washington and one for London. In the event of disagree- ments—and he said there had been none so far—the problems are laid before what he termed the higher- ups in the two capitals. Presumably he meant himself and Mr. Churchill. Replying to & question, Mr. Roose- velt declared New Zealand definitely ‘was represented in the Pacific Coun- cil. He was reminded that New Zealand’s Minister to Washington had spoken of setting up a strategic area outside the A. B. D. A. region which would embrace New Zealand, with an American as its top exec- utive. Those are things which have been discussed right along, Mr. Roosevelt | remarked, but he said his questioner was getting into too detailed a fleld. | Mr. Roosevelt’s discussion of the | council’s operations coincided with talk in authoritative Army and Navy circles that the situation of Allied forces in the Western Pacific was very serious and that still fur- ther reverses could be expected. ‘While recognizing the achieve- ments of défenders in the Philip- pines, Singapore and the Dutch Indies and allowing for Japanese losses of more than 100 ships and thousands of men, these authorities grimly declared that only the de- livery of huge reinforcements—dif- ficult if not impossible at this time— would turn the tide of battle against the enemy. The Japanese were sald still to possess the great advantages of time and initiative seized in their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor two months ago tomorrow. Theirs is the choice of when and where to attack, and the costs they are pay- ing in troops and material were described as not too great for the advances they have made. Japs Vulnerable at Many Points. Effective reinforcements, especial- ly in warplanes, could block further advances and hold the threatened bastions still in Allied hands, it was said, for the Japanese position has become vulnerable at many points. As strategists here view the enemy gains in two months of incessant action, the Japanese have: 1. Prevented offensive use of the Pacific Fleet for many weeks by the raid on Pearl Harbor. 2. Forced the Asiatic Fleet to with- draw from its Philippines bases and pushed the American defense forces on the islands into a last ditch stand on Batan Peninsula and in the forts covering Manila Bay. 3. Completely overrun the Malay Peninsula and put the British base of Singapore under siége with over- whelming forces after having de- stroyed the mainstays of British naval power in the Orient—the Battleship Prince of Wales and the Battle Cruiser Repulse. 4. Made landings at various points in the Netherlands Indies so that without waiting for the fall of either the Philippines or Singapore, they are already able to bomb such Dutch bases as Soerabaja, on which effec- tive defense of the Indies depend. 5. Captured Moulmein and ad- vanced toward the Burma road, threatening to cut the artery on which China depends for the lease- lend munitions she needs to con- tinue the war. Despite these spectacular suc- cesses, which have required the transportation of troops and supplies more than 2,000 miles from Japan, the enemy forces have shown no sign of slowing down or of en- countering opposition which their audacious strategy had not provided for. Attack on Australia Feared. The more pessimistic among ‘Washington observers fear that this means various Allled strong peints will be lost, the Indies jeopardized and possibly overrun and even Aus- tralia directly and forcefully at- tacked. Yet none doubts that in the long run the weaknesses inherent in 's military and naval position crack under the growing power of Allied, and especially American, forces.

West Virginia Cifies |* Studied as Sites for Shifted Agencies Public Buildings Chief And Rendolph Inspect Facilities at Elkins Special Dispatch to The Star. ELKINS, W. Va, Feb. 6—W. E. Reynolds, United States commis- sioner of public buildings, and Rep- resentative Randolph were here to- day on their tour to survey possi- bilities of moving some non-defense workers from Washington to this area to make room for war workers in the Capital. Following a scheduled meeting | with business and civic leaders, they will continue on to Arthurdale, | where Mrs. Roosevelt and Mr.| Randolph will speak tonight. At a gathering of more than 200 persons at the Shenandoah Hotel In Martinsburg, Mr. Reynolds said this area had a particular appeal in the decentralization program be- cause of its proximity to Wash- ington. After a two-hour tour of the city’s facilities, Mr. Reynolds said | he was particularly impressed with the housing facilities and Mr.| Randolph assured him that Martins- | burg could care for from 600 to 800 of the workers well. A 100 unit low cost housing project has just been completed here. | Mr. Reynolds said that probably 13,000 more workers would be added | to the 12,000 already moved from Wsshintgtokn,m At,st Fresent, the Gov- ernmen vestigating the - bility of shifting small gmumr from 200 to 400 workers from some! departments, without dislocating large sections, he said. Asked whether the move would be permanent, Mr. Reynolds replied that this depended on the efficiency with which the shifted agency was working and on the community life the workers were enjoying. Mr. Randolph pointed out that living costs in Martinsburg were far | less than in Washington, mentioning specifically that rents were 50 per cent less. | “It seems the part of good yudg-' ment to me that employes should be moved to the smaller communi- | ties rather than big cities that are | already overcrowded, such as New | York, Chicago and Philadelphia,” Mr. Randolph said. Two Washifhigton men were guests | at the meeting yesterday. They were Taylor Chewning, president of the United Clay Products Co., which has several brick and tile plants in Martinsburg, and Arthur C. Hyde, operator of Congressional Airport, who is surveying possibilities of establishing an air school in Mar- tinsburg. Gives Non-Union Men Jobs By the Associated Press. BLACKSTONE, Va. Feb. 6—Lt.| M. C. Fox, Army area engineer in | charge of construction of the Black- stone cantonment, said today that the contractor for the project had “a preferential shop with the union” and at the same time asserted that it would not be necessary for men | to join the union to obtain work on | the huge project. He emphasized particularly what he said was unusual harmony ex- isting between the A. F. of L., the contractors, the United States Em- ployment Service and non-union | labor as to the filling of thousands | of construction jobs created by the | project. The Roanoke World-News yester- day recounted the stories of three carpenters of that section, all non- union members, who said they were | unable to get jobs when they re- fused to pay union membership fees unless they were given guarantees of work. One of these, C. 8. Brown of Route §, sald these fees totaled $42. “We do have a preferential shop— there’s no doubt about that,” Lt. Fox said today. “And the reason we have a preferential shop is because we can call upon the union for 1,000 men, or 500 men, and get them. “If the union does not furnish enough, we can go out and hire as many as we need, and they are not subject to replacement.” Judge Given Taste Of His Own Medicine By the Associated Press.
