; SINGAPORE, 10 :30 a. m., Wednesday ( AP) The
gky over Singapore is black with the smoke of a dozen huge
fires this morning as I write my last message from this once
beautiful, prosperous and peaceful city.
The roar and crash of cannonade and the bursting bombs
which are shaking my typewriter and my hands, which are
wet with nervous perspiration, tell me without the need of
an official communique that the war which started nine
weeks ago, 400 miles away, is today in the outskirts of this
shaken bastion of empire.

tropic sun shining somewhere
"overhead, but in my many-win

British Hit
At Singapore
By Newscaster
NEW YORK, Feb. 1H)-Ce-
cil Brown, radio correspondent
who was censored off the air by
the British authorities at Singa
pore as detrimental to morale be
cause of his charges that the
British were complacent, was
back on the air Wednesday night
for the first time since then, and,
through the Australian censor
ship at Sydney, broadcast his
charges in detail. v
"The tragic story of Singa
pore,'' said Brown of the CBS,
"is not all one of Japanese nu
merical superiority, fanatical
courage and brilliant military .
scheming. The Japanese are at
Singapore also because of what
the British failed to foresee,
prepare for and meet at the
crucial moment"
Before December 7 the British
thought a Japanese attack was
unbelievable, said Brown, adding
they neglected to train their sol
diers for jungle fighting, were un
able to distinguish between Chi
nese and Japanese and permitted
establishment of what he called an
amazing fifth column organization
in Malaya. v ';
After the Japanese attack,
Brown continued, the British
failed to carry out the "scorched
earth" policy despite assertions to
the contrary, and they created
"considerable difficulties' with
the natives in Malaya by favoring
Europeans in the evacuation of
the island of Penang.
Brown, asserting that "at no
point are the Japanese being
held by the allied forces," pre
dicted the fall of Singapore city
in from 24 te 72 hours, said
Dutch gomatra may be taken,
that the fate of Java would be
decided within a month, and
that "Australia will be attacked
in the very near future."
Brown arrived in Sydney by
airplane from Batavia, capital of
the Dutch East Indies.
Vichy Aiding
Axis, Report
NEW YORK, Feb. ll-HP)-The
Vichy French government is
turning toward a cooperation
with Germany which is aiding
Hitler in his preparations for a
spring offensive against the de
mocracies, according to advices
received here Wednesday night
from a highly reliable informant
in Europe.
Although Generalissimo Franco
of Spain and Premier Antonio De
Oliveira Salazar of Portugal are
believed to be seeking a method
of avoiding embroilment in the
anticipated nazi spring offensive,
France is reported turning the
other way.
; The latest representation to
Marshal Petain, according to this
information, calls for the supply
ing of several thousand railway
locomotives, with crews, and also
for a large number of horses. This
request is being granted, it was
sard.

quoted as saying that a consider
able part of allied forces in the
western Pacific was busy with
work not connected with fighting.
To this Ironic observation,
the spokesman added hat heavy

needed to wrest dominance of
the southern seas from the Jap

BOSTON, Feb, ll--WendeU
L. Willkie asserted Wednesday
night that by 1944 unless correc
tive measures are taken, "we
wont have enough rubber for
military supplies."
Of the rubber situation, the
1940 republican presidential nom
inee, who will speak at a Lincoln
day dinner here Thursday night,
declared in an interview with
Boston newspaper men:
"The people are not being told
the truth, and if they were told
the truth they would find ways
of securing correction."
Willkie ascribed to Jesse Jones,
RFC chairman, a statement that
the production of synthetic rub
ber will reach' 400,000 tons in
194S, and said:
"The facts are that we will
in 1942 produce less than SO,- -000
tons of synthetic rubber.
. ; . Under the present setup for
1942, not over 200,000 tons will
be produced." - - '
uecianng -our civilization is

built on rubber and we must take
steps to protect it" the reDubli-
can leader recommended expedi
tions to South America to revive
the old Brazilian supplies; co-ordination
of transportation lines
and a complete survey of all
transportation uses toward rub
ber conservation; and conversion
of small chemical plants, perfume
factories and related units to rub
ber production.
