WHAT WAR
News Means
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
Wide World War Analyst
j Hitlerian political machinations
In the Mediterranean theater are
raising troublesome issues for the
allies as the Nazi chief makes os-
tensible preparations for a fresh
offensive to try to wrest control of
.this strategic area from the Brit-
ish—a move calculated to be co-
ordinated with
t h e Japanesein
drive in the, T
Orient, which I
has Singapore ins h
a grave position;
today.
The latest of
several develop-,
ments is the
British charge
that food and
gasoline have,
. been reaching!
Axis troops in MacKENZIE
Libya through
■neighboring Tunisia. This is par-
ticularly serious in that. if true. It
means a decided weakening on the
part of the Vichy government un-
der German pressure for conces-
sions, and gives rise to fear that
it presages German use of French
. colonies as bases.
Any such retreat by the Vichy
government would be a matter of
the utmost concern, since there is
involved the security not only of
the Mediterranean but the Atlan-
tic Obviously the United States is
vitally concerned, quite apart from
the obligations of our alliance.
This development comes on the
heels of what is ‘said to be Axis-
inspired anti-British rioting in
Spanish Morocco There isn't much
reason to doubt the origin of this
trouble, for the Hitler-Mussolini
brotherhood has worked untiringly
to win the support of the Arab
population in the Mediterranean
zone This would be a great asset
in the coming trial of strength for
control of this sea which has made
England policeman of Europe.
EGYPTIAN KICK-BACK
Coincident with this, and of ev-
en greater importance, young King
Farouk of Egypt has given a fresh
demonstration of what the London
press interprets as an anti-British
attitude. If Farouk is indeed try-
ing to kick over the traces in the
face of Egypt's cast-iron alliance
with Britain, he will raise a press-
ing problem, for if there Is one
place In the whole Mediterranean
area that the British must control
It Is Egypt.
Actually, of course, Egypt is a
vast military and naval base for
Britain, giving domination of the
Suez canal and the whole eastern
Mediterranean Should the king
choose to challenge England, there
can be no doubt that London will
simply crack down on him and
that another king will be looking
for a job
PRECEDENT SET
If the British did have to estab-
lish a protectorage over Egypt It
would be history repeating itself,
for England took over control of
the country early in the first
World war when Egypt ceased to be
a tributarv state of the Turkish
empire. This protectorage lasted
until 1922 when Egypt became nom-
inally an Independent kingdom
The position in the last war was
much as It is now, that is, there

In Auto Wreck
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—(UP)—The $60,000,000 liner Normandie, which
was to have sailed proudly again as the U. S. S. Lafayette, lay on her
side in the Hudson river today while investigation went forward to fix
blame for the blaze that laid her low.
The fire—by all accounts from a worker's acetylene torch—raged for
four hours yesterday aboard the 83,000-ton Normandie, which had been
undergoing conversion from Idle luxury to war service.
Thousands of tons of water were poured into the vessel and that. In
extinguishing the fire, left her so topheavy on the incoming tide that. 12
hours after the blaze started, she rolled gently away from the dock until
her port side rested on the silty bottom.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation was continuing its inquiry into
the cause of the fire, an FBI official said today, and will turn its report
over to the navy when completed.
Immediately fire blazed again from the seared interior of her super-
structure, but it was extinguished in 40 minutes and the weary hundreds
of naval and municipal fire-fighters who had battled to save her since
yesterday afternoon, left her to the engineers who must solve the monu-
mental problem of righting her.
The big ship was formerly the
Normandie, pride of the French
merchant marine and the largest
and fastest passenger ship afloat.
Now the U. S. S. Lafayette, the
world's largest naval auxiliary, she
was a sad sight as dawn revealed

There was some good news to
■ allay the disaster of the acci-
dental fire which raged in her
decks for three hours uncon-
trolled yesterday afternoon and
resulted finally in her turning
over on her side. One of her
former French officers told the
United Press that undoubted-
ly she could be righted and re-
paired—and with a speed that
would surprise the layman.
The newspaper PM revealed in a
copyrighted story today that it had
investigated precautions against
sabotage on the New York docks
six weeks ago and had discovered
that sabotage against any ship in
the harbor including the Lafayette
would be "a cinch." Its reporter.

have even set explosives aboard
her, so non-existent were even or-
dinary precautions.
SABOTAGE DISCOUNTED
Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews,
commandant of the Third naval
district, said, however, that there
was no possibility of the fire hav-
ing been set by saboteurs
Naval censorship prohibited a
detailed account of the damage, but
It was permissable to say that the
fire damage was entirely confined
to the three upper decks, that the
interiors of her hull had been seal-
ed by water-tight doors and bulk-
beads and that she remained dry

ELMO V. COOK
New Farm Agents
In Three Counties
Appointments of new farm agents
for Taylor, Jones and Eastland coun- |
ties, were announced last night by |
W. I. Glass, Texas Extension ser-
vice agent for District 7.
To Taylor county, succeeding
Knox Parr, will come Elmo V. Cook
of ‘Eastland. The change is effec-
tive Feb. 19. when Parr assumes
duties as district agent in the i
Panhandle area.
Cook has been agent in Eastland
county six years, prior to which he
served in Runnels county two and a
half yeara and in Bosque county
four years.
Replacing Cook at Eastland will
be Floyd Lynch, for the past four
and a half years agent for Jones
county, where he was transferred
after two years as assistant Nueces
county agent. •
To Jones county, as successor to
west and western shores of the
island.
The rattle of heavy machinegun
fire now is audible in the western
suburbs of Singapore city and the
gravity of the position of the de-
fenders of Singapore is obvious.
(In London some observers be-
lieve that Singapore will fall
within 24 or 48 hours. The loss
of the British empire's great
eastern bastion was regarded
as a foregone conclusion.)
There is only one real way to re-
port this battle of Singapore. That
is to go to the front lines and see
for yourself.
This afternoon I paid my last
visit to the front.
(Guard did not make clear
the reference to his "last visit.”
He may expect that the battle
will be raging at the gates of
the city of Singapore shortly or
he may expect to be evacuat-
ed).
Yesterday I spent the day around
Singapore city. I heard the crash-
ing sound of artillery fire grow-
ing nearer and nearer and formed
my own conclusions.
This afternoon I have been out
in the front lines. I have been
watching our troops in action, in-
cluding the Argyle regiment which
has been fighting ever since the
battle for Ipoh, half way up the
Malaya peninsula.
STRAFING ATTACKS
I watched our men crouching in
ditches while overhead droned
flight after flight of Japanese
planes-usually 27 planes to a
flight.
The Japanese planes dive-bomb-
ed our men and then dive-bombed
again They opened up with their
machine guns in low-flying straf-
ing attacks—carried out at their
leisure.
There was nothing our men could
do to combat the Japanese avia-
tion. Our troops lack nothing—but
air support.
Their morale is high. They are
all heroes — every man jack of
them.
The gravity of the position of the
defenders was emphasized by the
mounting rumble of artillery fire,
the curtain of white anti-aircraft
shell puffs and a billow of smoke
west of the city. Enemy artillery
shells still were bursting in the out-
skirts
N'an - combatants from the
areas Immediately west of Sin-
gapore city began pouring Into
the main residential and busi-
ness districts.
As the ground troops came to close
grips in the late forenoon the ar-
tillery fire diminished somewhat.
It burst Into a roar Intermittent-
ly as Japanese gunners on the
Johore shore picked new targets.
Japanese planes brought their
activity closer to the city as the
morning drew on, and I had
difficulty leaving my suburban
home because of the rapid suc-
cession of air raid alerts, the
intensive anti - aircraft fire
which sent shrapnel fragments
showering into the roads and
streets, and the artillery fire,
the shells of which were still
reaching into the outskirts.
I vacated my planter-strewn
house and took up an emergency
camp in my city office building.

British Strike Back
In Libyan Fighting
CAIRO. Feb 10—(UP)- British
artillery, bombing squadrons and
mobile patrols attacked Axis forces
in the Libyan desert west of Ain
El Gazala today without attempt-
ing a major test of tank strength.
The station suddenly blanked out this morning.
Dispatches from the beleaguered city said that the din
of battle intensified after dawn and that a great black pall
of smoke hung over the scene of fighting. Japanese planes
flew low over Singapore's outskirts, and residents heard the
whine of machine-gun bullets.
Artillery rumbled heavily from the west, while the pre-
dawn skies were red with the glow of burning oil tanks.

assault forces had driven within five miles of the downtown heart at
Singapore city.

who described also the landing of
American reinforcements at "way
stations along the route” from
Pearl Harbor.
sage this morning to the British
commander-in-chief, Lieut. -Gen.
A. E. Percival, demanding the sur-
render of Singapore.
Bloody fighting still continued,
however, with the hard-pressed
Australian, British and Indian Im-
perials exacting a terrific toll on
the invaders.
Domei, official Japanese news
agency, said in front-line dis-
patches that Japanese engineer*
had repaired the 3,000-foot Johore
strait causeway, which the Brit-
ish had breached and that Jap-
anese troops and supplies were
pouring over the span.
RESULTS OF DISASTER
There was no disguising the mag-
nitude of the disaster Singapore’s
fall would inflict on the United Na-
tions. It would:
1. Gravely endanger all Al-
lied bases between the Sues
canal, Egypt, and Pearl Harber,
Honolulu.
Z. Free Japan’s powerful
Malayan armies for attacks on
Java, Burma and even Australia.
3. Deal blow to United Na-
tions manpower in the south-
went Pacific, unless the more
than 60,000 British troops now
locked in battle on Singapore is-
land could be evacuated—an al-
most impossible feat.
4. Give Japan a free passage
to the Indian ocean and the
Bay of Bengal.
Even as Sinpagore’s fateful hour
approached, the Japanese invasion
hordes were already striking new -
blows in the Dutch Indies and to-
ward Australia.
A bulletin from N.E.I. headquar-
ters said Japanese troops, launch-
ing their sixth attack on a key
point in the Indies, had landed in
the vicinity of Macassar, chief port
on the southwest coast of Celebes is-
land. 500 mizes northeast of the big
Dutch naval base at Soerabaja,
Java.
JAVA NEXT?
The thrust was seen as another
move toward the expected direct
assault on Java itself, wealthiest ot
the Indies and headquarters of
Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell’s
United Nations command.
Simultaneously, communications
were Interrupted between Java and
the port of Banjermasin, on th*
south coast of Dutch Borneo, 150
miles north of Soerabaja. This
usually means that an attack is la
progress.
Other Japanese troops effected s
new landing at Gasmata, on the
south coast of Australian-mandated
New Britain island in the Bismarck
Archipelago New Britain lies about
600 miles north of Australia.
London quarters gravely acknowl-
edged that the situation on the em-
battled island was "very bad" as
Japanese reinforcements attacked
along s two-mile front.
A previous British counter-
attack, aimed at wiping out the
first Japanese landing parties,
had been beaten off by sheer
weight of numbers.
Domei said Japanese engineers
swam out under cover of darkness
and "worked frantically throughout
the night" to repair the Johore
causeway, and that by morning a
steady stream of Japanese troops
and supplies poured over the
structure.
The Vichy (French) radio broad-
cast a bulletn. from imperial To-
kyo headquarters saying all British
airdromes on the island had been
occupied.
CONSULATE CLOSED
U. 8 Consul-General Kenneth S.
Patton closed the American consu-

States interests over to Swiss rep-
resentatives. With two aides, Pat-
ton awaited transportation from
