The British radio broadcast that Japanese warships were pre paring to attack the island in SUp nort of enemy land action. Singapore dispatches reported that the water supply appeared adeauate lor a long stand but the Singapore naval base was al ready out of use and apparently lying helpless under the Japanese batteries ideally covered in the mainland hills. So, too, were three of Singapore's air bases. .. British quarters made no effort to conceal their deep and appar ently growing anxiety, but mani fested the strongest determination to hold the island's installations mere shells although they mignt become against that time in the future when they form the scarred but vital skeletons of an allied of' tensive plan. If, however, it is iound that nothing can be held then all, said British informants, will be ruthlessly destroyed. The possibility that the allies : might be farced back to Java la the soathera Datch East ladles, with aU the great damage te al lied pesitloa aad allied cemmaal . cation that thk weald involve, was accepted. The Indies, however, were in increasingly grave peril- Japanese planes approached over Bangka island, just 220 miles north of key Java, and the Dutch in effect acknowledged that Pontianak, on the western coast of Borneo 440 miles by air from Batavia, had fallen to Japanese troops. This meant that the invader had established himself a base whence be can harry allied shipping on the Batavia-Singapore routes, . "Moreover, the lack during the day of word from the island of Amboinia between Celebes and New Guinea suggested that the -defense of the great Dutch naval base mere was not going wen. ine Japanese claimed they had landed additional troops for a major as sault on the base.

Allied bombers strongly and successfully attacked enemy forces on Kadu island, in the estuary between Martaban and Moulmein, and it became more and more apparent that in the air arm the Japanese were meet ing a force of terrible power. 1 Africa and Russia were respec tively theatres of continued allied reversals and continued allied vic tories. The soviet armies were driving ahead all along the front in op erations so widely extended as again to support the allied hope that they will have accomplished before the winter is over so much as to seriously weaken the poten tialities of Hitler's expected of fensive of the late spring.

Spring Term Registration At WU Down First day registration for the second semester at Willamette university was down 94 from a comparable day in 1941, Regis trar Walter Erickson said Mon day. The spring term's freshman class, however, was five larger than last year's. Second semester enrollment in 1941 was 715, of which 590 signed the opening day. Enrollment dur ing the semester just closed was 743, from which 15 withdrew, in cluding at least four r military reasons. It is known, said Erickson, that some others have dropped from classes to joiir the army, but no 'information is available on how many or who, except by hearsay. Enemy Aliens Make Many Inquiries Although only 20 enemy aliens had received their certificates of identification by Monday night, the two persons at the Salem postoffice in charge of the work were kept busy with inquiries, Postmaster H.

PORTLAND, Feb. 2-(4P)-Sev- eral hundred enemy aliens made application Monday for identifica tion certificates. German, Japanese and Italian aliens thronged central postoffice, only application point here, on the first day of the one-week period during which all enemy nationals must file. Roy J. Norene, divisional direct or of immigration and naturaliza tion, clarified the status of enemy aliens who have taken out first citizenship papers. So far as evacuation orders or other regulations, Japanese, Ger mans and Italians who have first papers would be in the same posi tion as those who have never tak en out papers, he said.

Perhaps it's Just the soft spot la my musical makeup, bat a band all decked oat la trim uniforms, playing numbers wO associate with polished brass horns and drams and cymbals, sends a thrill through me every time.

I knew that a eaestion oermeat in the minds mt the erieaa people ba been Where h the fleetr This question was answered in part Sunday by the splendid achievements of our ships and planes in the attacks on enemy concentrations in the Marshall and Gilbert islands. "Thus your fleet is busy every moment of every day and night. across the vast reaches of the Pacific; specifically in those areas where it can the most effectively harrass the enemy and contribute to our1 own security. "Let me remind you that the Pacific ocean encompasses almost seventy millions square miles. To wage war across this trackless battleground stretching across 160 degrees of longitude and from one polar region to another is a gigantic task for any fleet or combination of fleets. "Bat I can attest that every ship, every plane, every officer aad man of the racifie fleet, afloat, aloft, aad ashore, is be ne ntilixed to the fallest ex tent, both te safecaard America and te bring the war to the enemy's front door.' It was Admiral Nimitz' first comment on the attack in the Southwest Pacific in which a large number of enemy auxiliary vessels were sunk and many planes destroyed.

HOWARD MAPLE Vncle Calls 4 j 4 BERT FORD Howard Maple (top), resident of Salem the past 12 years, busi ness manager of the capital city's professional baseball clab and member of the Willamette anlverslty coaching staff, was named Monday night' by the city eonncil to sacceed Bert Ford (below) as alderman from ward seven. Ford, who re signed to accept a government position which will take him oat of Salem, had served on the eoaacil since his appointment la 1946 and election to that post later the same year. Alderman Ford Resigns Post (Continued from page 1) armed service, gave rise to spec ulation as to when the council might be expected to select a suc cessor to the third ward coun cilman. Philip Holmes and Clark are the two first appointees. Councilmen tabled for two weeks - action of an ordinance amending the city's bus-licensing regulations, and later heard Paul Farrens, Oregon Motor Stages at tomey, explain what he found pernicious in the proposal. For a 11-year franchise, Far rens said, most of the amenda tory ordinance's requirements might have been considered fair bat to a concern operating nn der a one-year license the con stant threat of forced change ia operating schedules and fares would be unjust and anneees sary. Early in the council session the Oregon Motor Stages' 1942 street bus operating license was granted without discussion, as were also a number of other business per mits. Only denial was for a per mit to operate an auto-wrecking establishment, location of which the investigating committee de clined to approve. An ordinance to boost fire and police salaries, previously refer red to as a bill to bring salaries within the budgeted schedule. was tabled at the request of the police committee. Passed without argmment or discussion was a resolution set ting aside S500 from the city's emergency fand for the Wil lamette nnlversity centennial as an advertising' expend! tare. .From a $45,000 general fund balance, credited to "largely un expected" tax receipts, the coun cil authorized the transfer of $25,000 to the bond and Interest sinking fund and $10,000 to the street improvement fund to wipe out "paper deficits" accumulated over the years when tax receipts werej below expectation. An expenditure of $287 JO for five steam and compressed air whistles and for conversion of a previously purchased whistle into a mockingbird type warning was authorized with the understand ing that the state will refund $140 for two of the instruments. The Six whistles, with 10 electric sirens which have been delivered but not yet mounted on the cmt skirta of the city, are to be used as air raid warning signals. .
