At least two raiders were shot

German General Rommel's
forces have been making a stand
on the road to Tripoli.
Nazis Claim Triumph
Russia's great counter-drive on
the eastern front showed no sign
of let up, but the German high
command made much of an ap
parent setback in the Crimea,
where Feodogjya, on the south
east coast of the peninsula, was
reported recaptured by a com
bined German-Rumanian force.
This "victory report" must
have come as a surprise to the
German people, for the Hitler
command had never officially
acknowledged losing Feodosiya.
The communique said 4,(i0O Rus
sians were taken prisoner at Feo
dosiya. But the high command also
found it necessary to report at
the same time that the Russians
had launched heavy attacks along
the entire Donets river front. The
communique said that the fight
ing was still in progress but
gave no indication of the trend.
In air warfare, the Germans
claimed to have damaged several
merchant ships of a British con
voy in the Gulf of Sjrte, follow
ing up a claim of yesterday that
a British destroyer had been
sunk off Salum, and said that
ports of Britain's southwest coast,
a munitions ship off the Shetland
islands and a merchant ship off
Russia's Arctic port of Murmansk
were bombed.

JAPS FACE WATER GAP IN

(By the Associated Press)
Soon, but no one' knew when
nor where, the British imperials
must make their final stand if
the Japanese thrust for Singa

strait. This is the water hazard
which in the final analysis shields

The official silence of the Dutch
on land action Indicated that the
Japanese offensive from foot
holds gained In the Netherlands
East Indies was marking time,
pending outcome of the battle for
Singapore. ,
However, the Dutch did report
Japanese air raids on the Borneo
oil port of Bhllk Papan and on
the island of ! Sabang, off the
northern tin of Sumatra. A pre

The war department said
ground operations by Japanese

Filipino troops on liataan penin

General MacArthur reported
that Japanese were seizing har
vested crops and food stores and
had dispossessed Filipinos of their
means of transportation.
A Dome! dispatch admitted the
stubbornness of the American
Filipino resistance, saying that
strong barricades across Jungle
paths and enfilading fire from
hidden artillery had held the Jap

here from Representative Homer

of $74,534 for the state of Ore

U. S. Marines Forced to
Toil for Japs, Report
CHUNKING, Jan. 19 (API
Chinese reports said today that
United States marines captured
by the Japanese at Peiping had
been put to hard labor in an In
ternment camp.
All foreign and Chinese mem
bers of the staff of the Rockefeller-endowed
-Peiping Union Medi
cal college were said to have been
forced to continue their work un
der Japanese control.
These reports: said Dr. .1. Leigh
Ion Stuart, president of Yenching
university, and other American
and British members of the facul
ty had been confined in Peiping
legation quarters.
Most American and British resi
dents were reported still at large
but with their movements re
stricted. Sacrifices Will Stun
U. S., Mayor Riley Says
PORTLAND. Jan. 19. t AP)
The people of the United Slates
"are going to give up so many
things in the next few years that
they will be stunned," Mayor Earl
Riley said today on his return
from a conference at Washing
ton. "This is no easy war to win,"
lie continued. "We will be on the
defensive for two years before
we can go on the offensive. In
that two years will be the time
when we learn the meaning of
the word 'sacrifice'."
All capital expenditures of
cities are definitely out for the
duration, Riley said. Money sav
ed will he spent on additional po
lice, fire and health service. ,
Hitler Plots Shift in
Principal War Target
(Continued from page 1)
strategic position of Malta, the
little British island just south of
Italy and Sicily, figures promin
ently and recently stepped up
aerial pounding of that island lias
underscored the likelihood that
an offensive there, perhaps in
ihe style of the battle for Crete,
stands high on the axis order of
business.
A high British officer, just re
turned to London from Malta,
said that the axis air attacks
were "stoking up a little bit" but
that the defenders were putting
the hard-learned lessons of Crete
to good use.
Perhaps significantly, he would
not say whether he regarded
Malta s air defenses as adequate,
but he asserted that they were
strong enough to exact a high
price for any attempt at landing
in Malta.
Malta, under air alarm more
than 1,01X1 times in this war so
far, has shown a capacity for ab
sorbing tremendous, closely based
aerial blows. The shore of Sicily
is only do miles away.
II Ouce Changes Generals
The Italians announced today
that despite adverse weather, the
Gorman air fence yesterday con
tinued attacks against "military
objectives and airdromes of Mal
ta.' It was noteworthy, perhaps,
that the Italians claimed no Mal
ta attacks hy their own planes.
Ihe Italian high command in
fact was getting another shake-
up. The replacement of General
Roatta as army chief of staff bv
General Ambrosio, hitherto com
mander of the eleventh army.
was announced in Rome.
This may be part of the after
math of the British imperial re
duction of German-Italian hold
out forces at Halfaya pass, Bar
dia and Salum along the Egyptian-Libyan
border.
The British announced their
capture of the axis positions,
along with about 14,000 German
and Italian soldiers and consider
able war materials, was accom
plished with the loss of fewer
than 100 killed and 400 wounded
out of the combined forces of
British Imperial troops, Free
French and Polos.
