By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Wide World War Analyst for The Statesman
Japanese failure to take the Singapore citadel within a
reasonable time or to batter it into submission with shells and
bombs could mark that name in the history of this war as Verdun
was red-lettered in the annals of World war I.
That was the first disastrous German failure of that war. It
was the beginning of the end al
though more than two years were
to elapse, years of blood, sweat
and tears, before that end came.
Verdun cost the Kaiser losses
from which his armies never ful
ly recovered. Singapore, water
protected from mechanized land
attack, could cost the Japanese
relatively greater casualties.
Given air equality, its garrison
probably could withstand siege
for months or years.
There are some signs that the
first wave of great Anglo
American reinforcements
promised Singapore's defenders
by General Wavell will be an
air wave. As Japanese siege
lines were manned ' along the
mainland shore of Johore strait
and the preliminary duel of the
guns began, the first word that
American army firhter pilots
and planes had clashed with the
foe over Java stimulated hope
of the beleaguered British.
Washington said only a few
American fighter ships were en
gaged; but that they traded two-for-one
losses with the Japanese.
While there is nothing to show
that these particular planes rep
resented fresh reinforcements
shipped across the Pacific since
the war began, it is reasonable to
expect that the allies will build
up land-based air power in Java
to meet an intensified Japanese
air attack on that central bulwark
of allied- defense lines.
The Jap planes attacking the
island seem to be based on air
craft carriers. No Japanese

Netherlands Indies Is close

That offers also a special tar
get for allied air and sea patrols
in the Java sea. Should they stum-
ble.upon Japanese plane carriers
hovering in those waters to
launch and receive returning
fighter escorts for land-based
long range bombers a chance to
smash the attack at its source
would present itself.
It is not yet clear whether
the widening- and admittedly
destructive Japanese air attack
on Java bases is a covering
move for an attempted invasion
of that island, even before the
battle of Sing-apore is fought
to a finish, or primarily design
ed to prevent air relief for
Singapore. The first objective
must be more immediately vital
to the success of the Sing-apore
siege than the second.
Once an adequate force of
American - British - Dutch planes
was available to General Wavell
on Java and other Dutch islands,
he could decisively alter the odds
at Singapore. Allied air control
over that hot corner of the South
Pacific, or even relative air equal
ity, would largely nullify the
effect of Japan's whole Malayan
campaign.
Water System
War Boundary
Is Outlined
Boundaries of Salem water sys
tem prohibited areas established
this week by the war department
probably are those discussed pre
viously withiarmy representatives,
C. E. Guenfher, system manager,
said Thursday.
The Candelaria Heights area,
if such is the case, would be
bounded on, the south by Hanson
avenue, north by Hoyt street, east
by Commercial street and west by
Slough road.
City reservoir and high tank
would be included in an area
bounded on the south by Hoyt
street, north by Lincoln, east by
Fir and west by Slough road.
A radius of approximately 1000
feet around the standby pumping
station at South Commercial and
Trade streets was recommended
and would thus include an area
south of Court, north of Leslie,
bounded on the west by the Wil
lamette river and on the east by
Church street. Included wOuld
thus be Portland General Electric
company's power plant, a portion
of the industrial section of the
city and the Southern Pacific's
freight offices.
