Occupied Timur When Japanese Sub sighted

LONDON. Dec. 21 -—(CP)— The British government declared to- 1118!“ in nn eight-point statement that Australian and Netherlands troops occupied Portuguese T111101‘ only after Japanese submarines had been sight/ed in the immediate vlcllllly and Japanese attack ap- peared imminent.

In answer to the statement of the Portuguese Premier, -Antonio De Ollveira. Salazar, to the Portu- guese Parliament. the statement said "nothing has emerged more clearly from ‘I c present war than that if defensive action is delayed until an attack has actually devel- Oped it is likely to be too late.‘

(In his speech Friday before the national assembly. Salazar claimed that the Portuguese territory in the far‘ east had been occupied before any threat of attack appeared and while Portugal was discussing a otmmon defence.)

The British government had long been in consultation with the Port- uguese over giving "immediate as- sistance in it e event of a Japan- ese attack on Portuguese Tlmor" before the occupation was decided upon. the statement continued, and "an undertaking already has been given that the troops which en- tered Portuguese ‘rimor will be withdrawn as soon as the emer- gency with which they came to deal is passed."

Regret was expressed that ft nad carry out the occupation but it was declared necessary lo defence of ‘he vital interests of the allied nadons at war with Japan.

While discussions were going on with Portugal. the statement con- tinned. "a fundamental change in the situation was brought about by gleréaiymsudden act of treachery on

"On Dec. ll an ofibr was made to the Portuguese ambassador in London of immediate assistance in the event of a Japanese attack on or, and it was proposed that this assistance be furnished Ey Australian and Netherlands troops," the statement said.

"The Portuguese government ac- cepted these proposals and in re- sponse to a request of the Portu-

eso ambassador they were con-

irmcd in writing on Dec. l5."

The statement said Portugal's communication stated "that the threat to Tlmor must be regarded as so imminent as to make im- mediate precautionary measures noceuary to protect Timur and stressed the importance of local olithorities there being given wide he assistance contemplated would be forthcoming in good time."

Wave of optimism Sweeping Russia

By Eddy Gilmore Associated Press Staff Writer

BUIBYSHEV. Dec. 21 --tAP) _ with the red army on the offen. sire on a 1.6<)0-mlle front and supplies rolling up to the battle line from newly organized indus- trcs. the end of six months of war findsc wave of high optimism sweeping Russia,

Russia's successes made tsticy a hlllllll‘ b=.rthcl:1y' for Joseph fltalln, his 62nd.

The lift in morale first became evident wit: the Russian counter- offensive which drove the Ger- mans out of R-nstov-on-Don Nov. 29. Spirits have mounted steadily elsewhere since then, fed by con- tinuing reports cf Soviet sazccesses and the gradual easing of pressure on embattled Moscow.

Latest. Russian estimates put. the German dead. wounded and miss- ing since the start of the war at 7.200.000. They say the Nazis have lost 18.060 tanks, 15.600 planes and 22.000 lfg guns.

The Russians acknowledge losses of 2.546.000 in dead, wounded and missing. They also admit the loss of 0,5C0 tanks, 7.680 planes and 15.- 480 guns.

But to combat the Russian lo=ses in cquzpment more and more fac- tories are being put into opera- tions far from the battle front. I have personally seen ‘dozens of factories operating behind the Vol- ga. and their productive capacity 1s rising daily‘.

British retreat

Report 3 Jap Troopships sunk

NEW YORK, Dec. a - (AP; _ The BBC quoted Batavia reports that Netherlands forces had sunk three more Japanese troopshlps of; Borneo.

The broadcast, heard here by CB- S said two were sunk by naval forces and a third by a torpccl-a bomber.

The transports were said to have been en route to Borneo from Kor. ea. on the mainland of Asia Inc. ing Japan. indicating that Japan- e_.=.e_ invasion forces in Lie South China islands may have nccn drawn from Manchukuo.

Netherlands and United States forces in il"e far east thus have announced the sinking nltogctnc; of l3 Japanese transports.

Iloddcr is listed lls major weed

QTTAWA. Dec. 2i —(CP) -- A vicious weed called dodder, fame in Eastern Canada. has been em- vated to the rank of a major enc. my of the increased agricultural production Canada seeks in i942

It has appeared in fibre flax fields at a. time when increased output is required, Agriculture De- partment sources said today.

“In fibre flax this weed is par- ticularly unwelcome. since wljzrﬁvey the suckers penetrate I‘? flax stem, the valuable fibre is either weaken- ed or destroyed," they said.

The mpartment urged farmers to make sure only clean seed used i.n 1942 and see their fields are kent free of infestation.

Strands of naked. yellowkh to re" sh-crange dodder stems cn- tas-Le the plants attacked. Then tiny creamy-white or pale-yelliw- ish flowers appear along the stems and give rise to capsules contain- ing seeds.

Enemy seeks To reinforce Troops landcdl

(B William B. Axillary) (Assoc ated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON. Dec. 21—(AP)—

'I‘ho Janonesc apparently were mus- tering their forces today for a ma- jor new blow at the Philip inert while their submarines lurk off the American Pacific cont to hor- ass shipping and snipe at any sea.- borne reinforcements moving from the mainland to the islands. "Indications point to Japanese efforts, toward progressive au en-

tation of forces which have anded

in the Philippines," a war depart- ment communique said.

Thus far, the Japanese have won only relatively minor footholds an Luzon, northern island where Man- ila is located. other forces. possibly substantial, have been landed rm Mindanao. southernmost of the lar- ger Philippine islands.

The communique also reported enemy air raids during tihc last 24 hours on Luzon, Cebu and Min- danao.

Saying that land fighting ls con- tinuing about Mindanads major city of Davao and that enemgrvpat- rols are increasing their aci ties in northern Luzon, the communique added that “aggressive attempts at enemy infiltra ion are being made both’ in northern and southern Lu- zon.‘

The navy reported two new air attacks on Wake Island.

As for the near Pacific theatre, the army and navy withheld detaiLs of the steps being taken to hunt down the enemy submarine which surfaced. shelled and then torpedo- ed the 6.912 ton United Stat-rs tanker Emidio about 20 miles of! the California coast Saturday.

'I‘hirty men were rescued from the Emidio. At least five were listed as missing and another five injured.

It is known that the navy long ago anticipated the possibility of submarine attacks off the contin- cntcil coasts and has been building up special forces to cope with such

raids.

Great reliance ls believed to have been put on sub chasers similar to those which proved so effective dur- ing the first Great War. The navy has built, or is building, hundreds of these small, speedy craft. A number of bhnips also are in ser- vice.

On Saturday the navy reported that hostile U-boats were lurking off the Atlantic seaboard and re- peated the warning today. In the last six months of the first Grtat

War, Germany managed to get a hall-dozen submarines to North American Atlantic coastal waters,

where they sank about 100 United States ships by torpedo, gunfire and mines.

Mines laid by the U-bOBiS Simk the cruiser San Diego and damaged the battleship Minnesota. _

In the far Pacific. meanwhile, American, British and Netherlands forces were striking back at the re- newed Japanese blows. American and Filipino defenders were said by the high coititnnnd to be hitting the invading Jiipatrese everyivhere _in the Philippines witlnﬂnoreasing fury." A particularly fierce battle was reported under way at Davao. on Mindanao;

Japanese bombers roared over Manila. again Saturday. bombing the city lightly and then crossed the southern Luzon Bay'_to_ drop more explosives in the vicinity on the Cavite naval base.

A BBC broadcast uotecl a Batav- lan report that Ne eriands war- ships and aircraft had sent three more Japanese troopships to the bottom off Borneo. That brought to l3 the total of announced troop- shlps by United States and Nether- lands forces.

Anti-aircraft Fire heard along Thames Estuary

LONDON. Dec. 21—fCP)-l-feavy anti-aircraft fire and the sOﬂnd 0! machine guns were lieard tonlﬂm in the Thames estuary. but no bombing was reported and there was no general alarm.

It was the second night in suc- cession anti-aircraft guns had gone into action along the Thames.

An announcement Siwurday night said bombs were dropped in southwest England and that com! casualties resulted.

Raiders attempted to attack the northeast but ivcre forced l0 df°° most of their bombs in the sea. One boy was injured on land. 130mb! dropped in we southeast caused no damagg or casualties, authorized sources said.

The admiralty announced earlier that two of the lonR-Yans‘? bomb- ers with which Gcrmany has oomb- ed convoys, mammoth Focke-Wulfs, had been shot down at sea and a third so badly damaged that it may not have reached ‘base.

"These valuable German aircraft were destroyed in fights Widely. Dsc. 19. by naval aircraft Opeﬂlllll! [l-Qm Jjip5 provided for the defence of convoys. against German long- range aircraft." the admiralty said.

"We suffered no casualties these successful operations."

Hitler makes Appeal to- Nazi Troops

IDNDON, Dec. 2i —(AP)— As- suming supreme command of the German army in place of Field Marshal Walther Von Brauchlisch, Hitler l0lti'_|it issued an appeal to his soldiers and SS (elite) troops in which he declared "Germany's battle is now approaching its cul- minating and turning point."

Mont-toning Japan as a “comrade in arms," Hitler said in a message to the army, broadcast over the German radio and heard here:-

“With the lightninz destruction of the American Pacific fleet and the British forces at Singapore, with [lie occupation of numerous British and American bases in Western Asia by Japanese forces. the present war is now entering noon a new and favorable stage for us. "We are now facing a decision of world wide importance."

The armies in Russia “after their immortal victories without parallel in world hlstoiqv" must now be brought from “mobile prcgrc-s into a stationary front" because of the sudden onset of winter. he said.

It is now their task until spring to "hold and defend with like fa- naticism" the gains they have made, Ire continued.

Appealing to his men to do as well as German soldiers did in four Russian xvintcr campaigns 2?» yours ago, he said "every Gennan soldier must set an example to our loyal allies."

Then he promised that fapart front this howcver. fresh tiniﬁ-vrill be formed. and above all new and better weapons will be issunl as they were last winier. The ciefenre of the front. in the west will be strengthened from Kirkenes (Nor- way) to the Spanish frontier."

For Young Miss Things To Wear Are Safe Gifts

By HELEN FORRIST HALL Associated Press Staff Writer

BOSTON, Dec. 16—(AP) —— You never know. from the heap of gifts beneath the tree. just what one thing is going to strike a lit-tic girls fancy. But you can be mighty sure that if you give her something to wear. she'll love it if her taste is considered in its selection.

You're n. lucky donor if you pre- sent Sarah Ann with that cherish- ed wearable that makes hcr dance a jig and want to put it on every day. Li’ it strikes her fancy, she's not going to worry her pretty head about how utilitarian it la.

For a skating miss, your gift might be one of the very brief. Still and circular cut pinwalo corduroy‘ skirts teamed with a quilted calico red wesklt jacket. Or your (JlDlCe might be a white raglan-sleeved re- versible fleece "torso" or longer jac- ket wlth detachable hood and new white ground plaid skirt.

To Win The lieart

lmbroiderles and appllquol of wool or felt will win the heart of any tot, whether it's s. snowsult or sweater. so will a bit of fur. lining her hood or making a pompom on her cap. She'll adorc a glnzham gown or an old fashioned prinwss one of black velvet with rcd and unite leaves embroidered across the chest. Batiste, organdy or silk 1n a dress-up affair naturally makes a lady-no matter what her age-feel important.

Dresses with matching dolls. sweaters, lambskin bonnets, mitts with velveteen skirts, and challis blouses. military raincapcs and un- dies-any one of them will make a big hit.

Most exciting are robes with a matching hair ornament. A flower- prlntcd robe has n flower to match the print for the litre lady to tuck into her hair. Anolzcr may supply in‘ or a huge money-bag poo-
