WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS By Edward C. Wayne U. S.-Briti- sh Forces Fight Grimly In Resisting Heavy Jap Pressure; 'Joker' Found in Price Control Bill Has Power to Check Farm Prices (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of the news analyst and nut necessarily o( this newspaper.) I T?0)0-g- 0 by Western Newspaper Uruon.) Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, shown conferring in Washington, D. C, with naval officers and John W. Studebaker, on a plan to have high school youth of America participate in a vital part of the U. S. navy's training program, plane model making. Looking over some of the models are (left to right) Artemus Gates, assistant secretary of the navy for air; Secretary Knox and Mr. Studebaker. In the rear is Adm. John H. Towers, chief of the navy's bureau of aeronautics. About 26,000 American youths in the high schools throughout the country are being asked to build 500,000 aircraft models 10,000 each of 50 different types of fighting planes for training personnel in aircraft recognition and range estimation in gunnery practice. The models likewise will be important in the training of civilians in aircraft recognition. MIRACLE: Man on Luzon The continued holding out of Gen-eral MacArthur's "smoke-begrime- d army in its foxholes on Bataan peninsula" to use his own words, challenged and won the admiration of all Americans. It was felt that his long stand in the face of more than 10 to 1 odds, his ability to maneuver his men into a position where only a fraction of the Japanese power could be used against him, and the fact that he was still immobilizing a vastly su-perior force, entitled him to the title of "miracle man" of warfare. If the Japanese attempted to in-- , nitrate his lines, as often as not he checkmated them with counter-attacks. If they succeeded, either by a skillful withdrawal or by vigor-ous counter-measure- s at hand-to-han-the following day would find the MacArthur army still intact, still fighting, still able to resist all ef-forts to drive him into the sea. Though the communiques from Luzon never had given hope of a successful outcome, there was no tinge of heroics, save the tribute of the general to men who, without re-lief and subjected to almost constant attack by fresh troops in rotation, continued a defense that seemed to grow from day to day in strength rather than to be collapsing under pressure. General Homma, Japanese com-mander, sent over a "leaflet raid" in which he strongly suggested sur-render, paying tribute to the mag-nificent defense of MacArthur's army. It was not rejected the army simply paid no attention to it whatever. SINGAPORE: Siege The Japanese, having increased their pressure on the narrow and difficult Malayan peninsula, had finally induced the British defenders to make a sudden, dramatic with-drawal from the mainland, starting the siege of Singapore. This, a battle expected to go down into history as one of the bitterest and bloodiest in the history of war-fare, started with the 750,000 popu-lation of Singapore largely added to by civilian refugees from the main-land. It was the first test in battle of a fortress and stronghold called by British tradition the "Gibraltar of the Far East" and now, after 118 years of building and rebuilding its defenses with more and more mod-ern armament, the time had come for its testing. Singapore stood buttressed on the north by a mile-wid- e strip of land from which the British had attempt-ed to strip all obstructions which might offer refuge and cover to enemy soldiers or batteries; by an-other mile-wid- e strip of water which had become the "moat" of Singa-pore following the destruction of the granite causeway which connected the potato-shape- d island with the peninsula. Buy Defense Bonds CHECKMATE: On Farm Prices The administration in Washington, having apparently lost an important point in the Price Control bill, seem-ingly discovered that "all was well" when a joker was found in the measure. Agriculture Secretary Wickard said that the government power to buy and sell commodities in case in-flation threatened, probably would give the administration powerful curbs to keep farm prices down to parity. The senate agriculture committee questioned Wickard for four hours, left his office somewhat ruefully ad-mitting that his claims were prob-ably true. Some were quoted as saying that they felt their legislative victory over the administration had been nullified by a power the bill itself conferred on the government. Wickard was frank about "the whole thing. He told the senators that cotton, wheat, tobacco, will be stabilized at' parity. He said that corn and other feed crops will be stabilized at around 85 per cent of parity, probably to keep stock prices from going sky high, also to encourage farmers to stock, dairying and poultry-raisin- Livestock, dairy and poultry prices will be permitted to go above parity on the same basis of reasoning. Farmers who grow corn, however, will be given benefit payments by the government to permit their re-turn to be up to parity. PINCERS: In Island Empires Little by little a study of the maps of the island empires of the ABDA forces in the East Indies began to show the picture of the Japanese ef-fort, and demonstrated that a giant pincers movement was being car-ried out with three major objectives. On the extreme west, the two prongs of the Japanese pincers were working on Rangoon and Singapore. The former, if the Japs could crack it, they felt,' would put an effective stopper on the Burma road. The lat-ter would jettison British hopes of defending the west half of the island empire, and leave the Japanese fleet in command of the supply lines. In the center lay Borneo, and with invasion forces going both to left and right of this island, it was evident that the Japs were seeking to wipe out the advance defenses of Java and Sumatra. On the east was the Bismark archipelago, and the drive here, while not so well established, appar-ently was seeking an invasion of Cape York, Australia, and a sweep down the east coast of the continent "down under," the only rich and populous section of the whole huge island. As Singapore rocked under bomb-ings, and held grimly in the face of actual siege at last, the Japanese be-gan an all-o- assault on Amboina, tiny island naval stronghold of the Dutch south of the larger island of Ceram. PILOTS: By Thousands Secretary Knox electrified the na-tion when he announced that four large American universities would "join the navy" and serve as train-ing centers for a huge army of com-bat pilots for the new navy air force, to be created with a 25 bUlion dol-lar appropriation. Keeping the identities of the uni-versities a secret, Knox revealed that the plan will be put into opera-tion so swiftly that by May 1 it will be in full swing perhaps sooner. Briefly, the plan was this. Each school is to become an Annapolis of the air. The entire facilities of the universities will be rented by the navy for the duration of the war. A rigorous routine will be adopted for the students, future combat pi-lots. They will handle 2,500 naval flying cadets monthly. A three-mont- h preliminary train-ing will be started, with men dig-ging ditches, marching up to 40 miles from sunup to sundown. They will chop wood, clear land, will learn boxing, fighting. The whole course is expected to take a year, from the time the student starts until he has his navy wings. But when the first class gets through, the navy's supply of pilots will grow at the rate of 2,500 a month, according to the plan. SOVIET: Continued Groundhog day came and went, but regardless of shadows, King Winter reigned in Soviet Russia, freezing into motionless hulks the majority of Hitler's mechanical s, and giving the Russians continued strength to hurl the Nazis back along the entire long front. A gain in the Ukraine had brought the Reds to within easy striking distance of the lower bend of the Dnieper river, brought within the realm of possibility the capture of Dnieperopetrovsk, where the $100,000,000 dam had been blown up by the Russians in their retreat Most remarkable dispatch was the announcement of the capture of a town named Berestovoya, 115 miles west of German-hel- d Taganrog, a serious blow to the German rear, and forming a possible trap for thou-sands of Nazi troops. CHINESE: Drive Japs Back What a major disaster the closing of the Burma road would be had been convincingly demonstrated by the Chinese in their latest victory, an important defeat of the Japanese east of Canton. The fight was in the Waichow area, only 60 miles from the city, and the Japs were reported in disordered flight, with the Chinese armies in close pursuit. Of tremendous interest in this dis-patch was the report that one entire division of Chinese troops of the Nanking government, armed and equipped by the Japanese, had de-serted to Chiang 's banner. If this fight should develop with continued favor to the Chinese, they would place the Japanese holding forces on Hong Kong with a tough job to retain their tenure of the island. Canton is only 60 miles from Hong Kong, and the Chinese said they had possession of the Canton-Kowloo- n railroad. The Chinese are driving to liberate Canton, and then move on Hone Kong itself.
