Eager Nipponese Drive Westward in Battle for Asia
BY UNITED PRESS
The Japanese, flushed with victory following the unconditional surrender of an estimated 60,000 British Imperial troops at Singapore, struck savagely towards Rangoon yesterday and a major, new, and bloody land front in the struggle for control of Asia appeared to be opening in British Burma.
Rangoon and the railway from the great Burmese port which feeds China’s Burma road munitions line are next on the Nipponese military time-table, Japanese premier and war minister Gen. Hideki Tojo told parliament in Tokyo yesterday and Chinese in Chungking echoed his prediction.
RANGOON
Burma’s defenders have fallen back to a new battle line only 50 miles east of ,the Burma road’s railway extension, before onrushing Japanese forces who apparently have taken the important town of Thaton, it was revealed today.
A communique said that the British had withdrafwn from their Salween river line, which the Japanese had penetrated at several points to ; “concentrated positions” along the Bilin river.
Should Rangoon fall and the Japanese gain control of Burma, China’s position would be desperate, as there would be no feasible route over which U.S. lend-lease muni-| tions could flow to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek’s armies.
AUSTRALIA
Prime Minister John Curtin said that, following the Japanese capture of Singapore, the battle of Australia [ had begun and some observers suggested that Japanese might by-pass Java, for the time, and strike boldly at Australia before the sub-continent can be built up as a great military base linked with the United States. The Australian war cabinet was to meet today to discuss additional measures which may include conscription of women.
TOKYO
(Radiocast recorded by U.P., New York)—Premier Gen. Hideki Tojo told parliament today that Singapore's fall would enable Japan to dispose of Burma, China, India, .the Netherlands East Indies, Australia, and New Zealand, in that order.
As the capital prepared to celebrate the formal entry of Japanese i troops into Singapore city with a i victory parade of 30,000 persons, Tojo outlined to both houses of the diet the government’s war aims, which he said occupation of the British stronghold had inspired it to press “with even greater vigor.’*

Defense Dance Offers Prize

Tankers
Torpedoed
Enemy Submarine Dares U. S. Defenses, Enters Canal Area
WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO, Dutch West Indies, Feb. 16— (U.P.)—An enemy submarine, striking deep within the defenses protecting the vital Panama canal, today sank three tankers with torpedoes and shelled a Standard Oil company refinery at the Dutch island of Aruba where American soldiers are stationed.
The enemy shells were the first of the war to land on soil inside the United States eastern defense system.
A fourth tanker was torpedoed off Willemstad, on Curacao island,
but it did not sink.
Aruba and Curacao, lying in the heart of America's inner defense system, recently were garrisoned with United States troops by agreement with the Netherlands government.
INNER DEFENSES HIT
The islands, 40 miles apart, are 600 miles east of Panama and are ringed to the east by the lesser Antilles, including the British islands of St. Lucia and Antigua, where the U. S. has bases—and the Vichy French islands of Mar-Martinique and Guadaloupe.
The Netherlands news agency Aneta said that the refinery on Aruba owned by Standard Oil of New Jersey and one of the largest in the western hemisphere was only slightly damaged and that there were no casualties on land. Extent of casualties among the crews of the three tankers sunk off Aruba was not determined immediately. One man was slightly injured aboard the tanker attacked near here.
CONCERN AROUSED
The attack on Aruba appeared a far bolder foray than the raids on unescorted shipping off the U. S. and Canadian coasts.
To reach the Dutch island only 15 miles off the rich Venezuela oil coast, the submarine had to run the gauntlet of the windward and leeward islands of the Antilles chain or pass close to Cuba and Haiti. Nearly all these islands except the French possessions are strongly fortified or in the process of being fortified by the United States and Britain.
The U. S. Atlantic patrol plies constantly among the islands.
Wampus to Warm Chilled' Ice Squad
Trojans who aren’t “up” on their hockey will have a chance to get acquainted with their team in the February issue of Wampus, issued tomorrow at 10 a.m. Editor Guy Halferty has spent considerable time with the team this season and has compiled a complete chart of pertinent information regarding the players, Associate Editor Don Hoover announced yesterday.
Also in the February issue is a short article by Bob “Mussels” Reilly entitled, “On Taking a Physical,” in which the “Not-so-Red-Hot” of the Daily Trojan tells the inside dope on the processes of the naval air corps. Other short stories are included, as well as several cartoons, carefully clipped from the best the exchange list has to offer.
This month’s issue of the Wampus will contain a greater variety of jokes, puns, and poems than have formerly been included. Editor Halferty asserted that the “Glass House” will be even more transparent in February copies.

Government Offers Training to Radio Hams
Amateur Operators Required to Present License Permits
Calling all hams!
Appealing via broadcasts the naval reserve authorities this week are attempting to secure about 5000 men for radio maintenance work in America’s first line of defense.
The reason for the sudden demand for amateur radio operators, popularly known as “hams,” is due to the fact that one of the requirements for special enlistment as radioman second class, class V6, naval reserve, is the possession of a class A or B amateur license.
REQUIREMENTS LISTED
Other requirements include a high school diploma, ability to pass a physical examination, age group of 17 to 50, if not an amateur radio license holder the applicant must have had experience in high frequency design, transmission, or reception.
Naval reserve officials, in issuing this appeal, point out that those enlisting in this particular branch of the navy will be sent to the navy maintenance school in San Francisco for immediate training, thus securing training in one of the country’s fastest growing professions, radio, as weU as serving their country.
PAY FIGURE QUOTED
Immediate enlistment as radioman second class brings a monthly pay of $72, rental allowance for dependents of $1.15 per day, and complete initial uniform allowance and subsistence at government expense.
Eight months schooling includes instruction in the theory, installation, adjustment, and the practical operation of radio transmitters, receivers, radio locators, underwater listening devices and other forms of radio equipment.
The training the applicant receives is judged to be equal to at least two years college work in radio engineering and sound engineering.
