Foley said. "For this government to have approved the proposed sale of Standard's Hungarian oil properties proper-ties to Germany would not merely mere-ly have facilitated Germany's program pro-gram of economic domination of Europe, but would have been tantamount tan-tamount to an approval of Germany's' Ger-many's' new economic order in Europe."

The latest advices from the front late yesterday had told how U. S.-Fllipino forces had stopped strong enemy assaults. Because of Wainwright's failure fail-ure to report on fighting conditions condi-tions this morning, the war department de-partment did not issue its customary cus-tomary forenoon communique. Officials Of-ficials stressed that no Important significance should be attached to the momentary lack of news. , A communique late, yesterday said that fighting was still continuing con-tinuing after U. S.-Fllipino forces counter-attacked and regained advance ad-vance outposts previously wrested wrest-ed from them by the Japanese. That communique also disclosed disclos-ed that a strong frontal assault on Wainwright's lines had opened open-ed a nearly disastrous hole, which the Americen defenders were able to close. General fighting was still going on last night near the left center of Wainwright's line, but the enemy advance has been halted and the break in the main line restored by a v "fierce counterattack." counter-attack." "Japanese losses are believed to have been heavy, while our own casualties were surprisingly small," the war department's communique said. The spearhead attack was the second made by the Japanese during dur-ing Wednesday night and yesterday yes-terday . morning, and was the "heaviest of any reported in more than five days of almost continuous con-tinuous fighting.

ALLIES (Continued from Page One) the gateway to the Burma oil fields, due to a sudden and strong enemy push. On the 4ast flank, the Chinese under Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell were holding positions north of Toungoo, but London spokesmen said that the enemy was using his superior air power in an effort to outflank both the Prome and Toungoo fronts, and to split the British and Chinese. So far this has not been achieved, although further parallel paral-lel retirement of the British and Chinese may be necessary. The British meanwhile denied a Chinese military spokesman's statement that strong Japanese forces had landed at Akyab, on the west coast of Burma, asserting assert-ing that the statement was incorrect. incor-rect. As yet there was no further explanation from Chungking of the spokesman's statement.

It is the first animated picture to attempt a concert for the ear and eye at the same time. Some of the finest classical music mu-sic of all times is used in the film. Leopold Stokowski is seen directing the Philadelphia orchestra orches-tra in a film based on the classic, clas-sic, Tchaikowsky's "Nutcracker Suite." Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" is described by Broadway Broad-way critics as "music as the angel's would have played it."
