British fall Back before Japs in Malaya

(By C. Yates McDaniel) (Associated Press Stuff Writer) sltxdnronn. l) . IB-AAPP-The

Japancsc have pushed 100 tnil:s in- to Malaya in 11 days of attacks prosecuted with fanatical disrcgami of the constantly high death loll but have not yet managed to con- vert their jungle offensive into n major push, British authorities rc- portcd tonight as 111911‘ own mrin (lcfence lino was pulled back t‘) about 300 air miles north of vital Singapore.

Malayns second city. Penang. and the mainland province of Wellcsry were isolated from the rest of fir.- pctirnsttla as British forces fell back from out- riwr to zrnother in the fluid fighting required by the ter- r

um,

Neither side has much air support because fliers can see only unbrok- en greenery below. Japanese bomb- ingr had slackened notably.

he Japanese still are depending on many thrusts by small units which plunge ahead without regard for their lives, but they have yet to break a British stand in a mtllor battle.

Penang. an island base 15 miles long and five miles broad off the northwest coast of Malaya, ls stra- tegically important to the defence of North Malava and is the tor- rninus for eight cables. British soil for 156 years, it still was believed British tonight, but how long it could Izold out was problematical. Singapore had heard nothing from the island for 24 hours and it was knoyvn the enemy was investing the ndlacent mainland.

The British withdrawal was from the Mudn River. It left all of the big Thailand border province of Kcdah and the smaller" coastal pro- vince Wcllesloy opposite Penang to tho Japanese. and put H12 Brit- ish line in the wogt of Malaya a- bout 300 miles above Singapore.

So far this line had not been attacked in strength, tonight's com- munique reporting "no enemy ac- tivity" in either the west or the east of Malaya, and little air ac- tion. '

It did, however, report that prior to Wednesday. night's withdrawal from the Muda. a strong Japanese force tried to storm Pekaka. Bridge.

"This." it said, "was repulsed. the enemy being driven back across the river, leaving behind many clcad. The subsequent withdrawal was carried out unopposed."

"During the night," another com- mllnlque said of the British with- drawal. "our troops in South Kedah and the province Wellesley success- fully discngagcd and now are re- organizing south of the Singei (riv- er) Krian.

(British reports said that the Finnish line between lakes Onega and Ladoga. was smashed and that Leningradk 1,000,000 defenders had joined in the attack on the Finns.)

In tlie southwest. B0 more settle- ments fell in the relentless push which bekan with the recapture of Rostov and has proceeded weat- ward above the shores of the Bee of Azov. (British reports said the Germans had lost 6,000 n of a Viennese infantry division in fight- ing near Kharkov, German-occu- pied steel centre.)

Only on the extreme southern front, in the Crimea itself, were the‘ Germans holding the initiative. There the Russians reported they were checking violent assaul-‘s in the Sevastopol sector. and one re- port said 3,200 Germans had been killed in e battle of several days‘ duration.

Red Star, the army newspaper, outlined the general plan of the Russian campaign as one to “en- circle and exicnninnte the enemy." Pointing ottt. that this is still a mobile campaign, with the Ger- mans sometimes sacrificing occu- ped territory to escape annihila- tion, it urged Red army command- ers to disregard frontal tssaults and take the risk of throrvltig out long salicnts to out off and wipe out. the enemy units.

These tactics vrcre used at Shek- lno and Aleksin. in the Tula area, capture of which was announced early today,

The German 296th infantry di- vision was reported destroytd at Shckino with all its material and 80 per cent o.’ its personnel.

Aleksln, noruliwest of Tula. was token the same day.

On the north of Moscow, a com- munique said the Germans lost 10.090 men in dead alone in the rout from Kallnin. 95 miles nor-‘lt- west. o1‘ tho capital. plus at least 191 field guns. 31 tanks and about 1,000 trucks.
