The house passed am to 0 and sent to the senate last night the $17,722,565,474 nav al appropriations bill, including a special emergency for the devel oping amphibious strategy. LONDON, Jan. 28-AP United States Ambassador John G. Winant told a national defense group today that the United States plans to recruit an army of 7,000,000 men. "If it Is necessary for the wo men of America lo scrub, drive or transport or man anti-aircraft batteries or pilot planes or what ever else, they will dojt gladly," he said. - "Idleness has been no part of our national life .... that is not America," the ambassador added. Mo said "we know the story of the battle of the Atlantic and If it is necessary that our navy take time to reestablish Its suprema cy in the Pacific with whatever auxiliary airforce that Is requir ed, it will be done and its com plete supremacy reestablished." U. S. Bombers Blast 2 More Jap Transports (Continued Irom pace 1) had been withdrawn. In accepting the "invitation,' the Japanese armada unwarily sailed into a hornet's nest of al lied submarines, bombers and surface warciaft. No Immediate estimate was available on the loss of Japanese lives, whlcn presumably ran into the thou sands. While the Dutch listed only 30 Japanese troopships and war ships sunk or badly damaged, -"American accounts put the five clay toll at 36, Including a battle ship. "Japanese fighter aircraft which attempted to Intercept our bombers were roughly handled," Gen. Wavoll's headquarters said. "Two were shot down and one was damaged." Singapore Defense Wavers On the far Pacific land front Japan's invasion hordes drove perilously closer to Singapore to day as wavering British defense lines executed a new withdrawal less than 50 miles north of the $100,000,000 island stronghold, amid the heaviest fighting of the Malayan campaign A British spokesman said that Japanese troops knifing south ward from the Kluang sector, in central Malaya, were pressing the nearest threat to Singapore. . On the west coast, British, Aus tralian and Indian Imperials were battling fiercely near Seng garang, only 48 miles above Sing apore, after a 11! mile retreat from Batu Pahat. Twenty-seven Japanese bomb ers returned to I he assault on Singapore itself, attacking -a su burban area. Japs Deal Counter Blows Other Japanese raiders struck heavily at the port of Kinmaha veil, on the west coast of Dutch Sumatra, across the narrow Ma lacca strait from Malaea, setting two ships afire and damaging a third. The Dutch also conceded loss of communication with the city of Kendall, on the southeast coast of Celebes Island, but declared that strong resistance was be ing exerted against the invaders then'. N.

Major attention was restored I to the Malayan theater of the Pa cific war by reverses at the Brit ish center and left flank whicli caused a withdrawal also on the east coast. A Japanese division struck at tl'.e center between Ayer llitam and Kluang, a railroad town in the highlands about SO miles north of Singaimre. A major battle appeared to be in the making on the east coast where arilllery backed British in fantrymen were based at Jema-luang-as the Japanese moved up reinforcements from trans ports which reached Kndnu yes terday despite heavv attacks' bv the HAF. Intense aerial activity was re ported on both sides.

He said several of the other ships had been damaged. Three transports were said to have been put out of action in the RAF attack Monday and one was seen wrecked by a previous bombing. There was no word from Aus tralian militia reported holding out against the Japanese In the hills which Jut up south of the port. The RAF chalked up its first fighter plane victory over Han goon, Burma, last night when a veteran British pilot intercepted a formation of Japanese bombers as It swept across the city and shot down one with a burst from the guns of his Hurricane. The bomber crashed with its full load still in the racks. The pilot credited with the victory previously had 30 air victories to his credit in the battle of Britain.

This gave rise to a belief that it may have eluded the enemy, a spokes man said. The torpedo burst into the Powell shortly after 2 a. m,-Tucs- day. Captain T. J. Harrington of Baltimore was among the miss ing. GERMAN SUBMARINE SEEN OFF TEXAS COAST COHPl'S CMHISTI, Texas, Jan. 28.- (AP)Captain Alva Hernhard. commander of the naval air sta tion here, said today that a sub marine, ".doubtlessly German" had been sightcrt-ahout 15 miles from Port Aransas this morning and there was a probability that another was nearby. Planes anil ships from Hie sta tion are now seeking the craft, he said. "The submarine is doubtlessly German and it probably sneaked in during the Jiight with the in tention of attacking oil tankers," Hernhard said. "It Is possible that the second submarine is also in the vicinity ' since it is known that they have' been operating in pairs else-j where, and shortly after the sub-j marine was sighted a smoke i bomb appeared out of the water four miles south of it." i Smoke -bombs, released by i submarines, rise In the air similar ' to a rocket beioie settling back on the water.

(APIPresident Varges today signed a decree breaking Brazil's diplomatic and commercial rela tions with Germany, Italy and Japan.

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Jan. 28. (API Informed sources said to day that Irie, Japanese charge d'affaires, had delivered a note lo the Bolivian foreign office hint ing that Japan might blockade the South American coast and halt Bolivia's overseas trade if she severed relations with the axis.

The added rationing authority, given him with Mr. Roosevelt's approval, virtually guaranteed that the name of Henderson in the next few weeks would become a by word In the kitchens, corner stores and offices of America. Further rationing', the WPB hoard observed, "seems inevit able." Fixing Will Be Gradual. .Signature of the price fixing measure will not necessarily mean an immedalte flood of price fixing orders, said one of Hen derson's lieutenants who declar ed that situations will be met as they arise. Relying almost entirely up to now on voluntary arrangements and orders without the specific support of law, the OPA has fix ed price ceilings on 72 commodi ties ranging from washed cattle tail hair to steel. In addition, it has reached vol untary, price agreements with about 100 individual producers, frozen some prices, and listed others at what it considered "fair." In all, about 35 per cent of the total value of wholesale goods Is already under price control, as Is almost half the field of metals and metal products. Metal Restrictions Set. Tightening restrictions on non essential uses of nickel, brass, and copper, the war production board loday ordered sharp cur tailment in consumption of these materials in Incandescent lamps designed chiefly for Christmas trees, advertising or decorative purposes. In February, March and April, the WPB directed, use of the metals must be reduced 50 per cent each month under consump tion during comparable months of 1!MU. After February 1, no manufacturer may use any ma terials obtained with the aid of preference ratings in production of such lamps. I-urlher, affecting the bulb in dustry as a whole, the order pro vfdos that the use of nickel In all lamps must be cut 25 per cent under 1910 consumption during Hie next three months, and the use of brass and copper reduced 20 per cent.
