Wayne Jap Successes in Java Sea Battle Credited to Numerical Superiority; Coastwise Shipping Losses Offset By Stepped-U- p Shipyard Production EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.! (Released by Western Newspaper Union.! OFFENSIVE: British Bomb Vital Nazi Centers held back Britain, more or less from bombings over Europe during the winter season of bad weather had started an and worse visibility, all-o- and continuous bombing ol German towns and industrial cen-ters, also of vital ports in northwest Germany. From various sources close to London came word that this was a definite part of the British "spring offensive," and that the attacks would become more powerful and continuous as the weather improved. Extremely large forces of British bombers were being used, it had been reported, especially the Hali-faxe- Stirlings and Lancasters, the latter a new and highly regarded bomber. Not so much mention was being made of the use of American "fort-ress bombers," and apparently Eng-land had her own plane production in better shape now, or perhaps since our entry into the war was not getting so many flying fortresses. At all events the British airmen were getting in tremendous licks by day as well as by night, and the Germans, beginning to feel the pinch of heavy bombings with little or no return on their part, had begun to send fighter squadrons over the channel to attempt to break it all up. The first day these had appeared the British said eight Messer-schmit-had been shot down. "None of our planes were lost." The Germans broadcast "Eight British fighters were shot down over the channel no German planes lost." It was considered odd, however, that the German radio which turned fighter losses upside down rarely claimed as many bombers shot down as the British were willing to admit having lost. Some believed the Nazis were try-ing to minimize the number of bombers Britain was using in the raids by this means. Seagoing home for President Roosevelt was the 10,000-to- n cruiser Houston, sunk in the battle of Java. During the last eight years the Chief Executive traveled almost 25,000 miles aboard the Houston, which was commissioned in 1930. The Houston was one of two ships lost by the V. S. in what was termed the "fiercest and bloodiest ever known." The United Nations lost a total of 13 ships. DISASTER: Battle of Java The world had known that there had been a naval battle off Java just before the Japanese moved in with their full might at three points on land, but until the announcement was made that the Allied fleet had been "overwhelmed by ' superior numbers" it had not been known what the losses had been. This, at long last, had been given to the press in a more or less de-tailed summary which showed that the United Nations lost 13 ships, not apparently counting any submarines that might be missing. The United States lost two, the 10,000-to- n sleek cruiser Houston, fa-vorite of President Roosevelt him-self, who had gone to Hawaii in her in 1934, and frequently had been aboard her; and the World war type "four-stacker- " destroyer Pope, 1,190 tons, both presumably lost with all hands, though there was some hope that some survivors may have reached shore somewhere. The British were the heaviest losers, having six vessels listed as lost including the famous cruiser Exeter, small but valorous, 3,390 tons, which had taken part in the victorious attack on the German Graf Spee off Uruguay. The other five lost by the British were all destroyers. The Dutch lost their flagship and chief cruiser, the DeRuyter, pre-sumably lost with all hands, for she was hit by a torpedo and sank in a few minutes at night on the first day, at the height of the battle. They also lost a destroyer. The Australians lost two vessels, the cruiser Perth and the Yarda, a sloop, both missing and presumably lost. The Japanese, according to the same report, lost eight vessels, but all details as to any actual sinkings were unobtainable, probably due to the unfavorable outcome of the battle. Included among the eight were two cruisers, one of the 10,000-to- n class. AUSSIES: Getting Help The same rigid censorship which had kept an official record of the Java sea battle from getting to the British and American public until two weeks after it occurred and nearly that time after the Japanese had announced the loss, for instance, of the Houston and other vessels, had given the country only the The appointment of Gen. Doug-las MacArthur as supreme com-mander of all United Nations' forces in Australia gave truth to the many rumors which had cropped up in the past month. MacArthur transferred his head-quarters from the Philippines to Australia upon orders from Presi-dent Roosevelt. He was given his new post at the request of the Australian government. His pro-motion had long been expected as the result of his courageous stand on the Bataan peninsula. sketchiest picture of what aid we were sending to Australia to help the Aussies get ready for their de-fense against the Japs. First hint that troops had arrived there had come from Yates McDan-ie- l, who had slipped into a "color" story a report that Perth was literal-ly jammed with Americans in uni-form. Next had come the story of a London Daily Mail correspondent who added giant figures to the tale by picturing a convoy almost with-out end, on the way to Australia and already attacked by Japanese naval "spearheads." ,".,. Finally, a Chicago Sun correspond-ent sent in a copyrighted story which said that "thousands pf Amer-ican troops" had arrived safely in Australia, but that he could not say where they were being de-barked, ATLANTIC: BYRD: A 'Field Day' Senator Byrd of Virginia was hav-ing a "field day" at the expense of the Office of Civilian Defense, or the OCD in the Washington alphabet. Almost daily the senator was un-covering things which he waspass-in- g on to the public through news re-leases.' Among the latest had been his expose of unpaid physical fitness ac-tivities of OCD, with particular em-phasis on the "bowl your way to physical condition" campaign start-ed by Bowling Willem. This leader, said Senator Byrd, turned out to be an executive of an advertising firm handling the ac- - l" f ' v : ' I A study ol the British and Amer-ican naval communiques seemed to show that the most telling blows were struck, not so much by the gunnery of the Japs, as by their submarines and speedy destroyers. The Exeter had one of her boilers blown up by a shell, which cut her speed 50 per cent, but she still es-caped from the battle and was ap-parently sunk seeking to escape from Java to Australia. The same was the fate of the Houston and the Pope. SLOWDOWN: On Car Speed In a country stressing speed, speed, speed in war production, President Roosevelt had gone to the governors of the 48 states with a request for a slowdown in one thing, the speed limits of the nation's highways. He had recommended 40 miles per hour as a top, as a means of con-servation of the present supply of tires for the motoring public. The President had said: "I would greatly appreciate your in an effort to achieve this objective throughout the coun-try." Most governors rushed to comply, and many issued immediate orders to their state police officers to see that speed limits were cut down. Toll Groiving Though our navy, with the British, was keeping supply lines between Britain and the United States open, coastwise shipping had continued to yield a terrific toll The loss ot American flag ships alone had passed the mark, and the lives taken were as-suming important figures. Shipping insurance rates were hiked again. There was no disposition to admit Hitler's claims that 151 ships of a total of 1,029,000 tons had been sunk in the first two months of the war in the Atlantic alone, but the total was large and was constantly mount-ing. The loss of 50 American ships in two months was an average of about tia ship a day, and with one shipyard in the East launching two large ves-sels weekly, this was not necessarily a fatal loss, but other countries' losses were not being reproduced as successfully as our own. Despite the losses of U. S. ships, it was pointed out that if the present rate was not increased, or even lessened, it would not be long be-fore our merchant marine was tre-mendously greater. But if Hitler's figure of half a million tons a month were true, then the picture was less rosy, at least until we reach our goal of 8,000,000 tons a year. SENATOR HARRY F. BYRD Focused attention on count of a nationally known concern which, the senator added, "has a virtual monopoly on the making of bowling alleys and equipment there-for." Of a piece with this, he said, was the naming of Bernarr Macfadden, the publisher of Physical Culture magazine, as "walking and hiking Jack B. Kelly, physical fitness di-rector of the OCD, termed Byrd's at-tack on the coordinators, who serve without pay, a "classic example of boondoggling in congress instead of focusing attention on what's happen-ing in the South Pacific and in Eu-rope." ROUND-UP- : Official weather springtime starts in late March, but wartime spring was to start, according to a roundup of AP correspondents in leading war centers "when the ground dries up in Russia" or in mid-Apr- il or early May. What that time would bring was a puzzle to most military-minde- d correspondents, but they agreed it would be "offensive time" and would bring battles on such a scale as to make the present wartime re-ports seem like child's play. Most unanimity centered about one probability, that the Japs and Germans would try a concentrated offensive in harmnnv n"uthl cai.il UL11- - er. Some were inclined to think that the Japs, after gaining control of northeastern Australia and estab-lishing a "front" there would turn their main attack through lightly de-fended India and attempt to join the Germans at the Persian gulf Others thought this plan too ami bitious and saw the Japs stopping with Bengal and China cut off from Allied aid, and then turning into Siberia. In this way the Japs would pre-ve- Americans from taking over bases which would permit bomber flights over Japan; Vladivostok be-in- g only two hours from Tokyo. Others believed that oil being the Japs' sole objective, and being now in their grasp, they would simply attempt to immobilize Australia and spend their time redeveloping the "scorched" oilfields of the East In dies. Again there was a theory that oil being Germany's primary need the Nazis spring offensive would be aimed at Rostov and the Caucasus l ASK ME ) l I ANOTHER ?
