Japanese cruiser in me nonnern approacnes to Malacca
straits, the admiralty announced today in a communique that
in effect proclaimed England a full partner in the Pacific
sea war.
The cruiser, of the 24-year-old Kuma class, was blasted to
the bottom of the Bay of Bengal with two torpedo hits from
a submarine operating under -the command of the "chief
the eastern fleet," the admir-1""
alty said.
The same submarine also sank
three large Japanese supply
ships, the communique added, but
did not specify the locale of these
sinkings.
Called "Eastern Fleet"
The communique provided the
first official mention in recent
months of a British "eastern
fleet" or of British naval units
operating as far afield as the
northern approaches to the Ma
lacca straits, which separate
Singapore and the Malay States
from the Dutch island of Su
matra, with the exception of a
few Australian warships cooper
ating witn tne u. a. navy.
The action bore out unofficial
reports of the shift of consider
able British naval units to the
eastern theater, where they pre
sumably will operate under the
overall direction of Admiral Lord
Louis Mountbatten, supreme al
lied commander for southern
Asia.
The sinkings increased to 247
the number of Japanese warships
and to an even 1,000 the number
of all types of Japanese ships
sunk by the allies since the start
rof the war. The Kuma class war
ship was the 55th cruiser to be
sent to the bottom.
4S Men Aboard
The Kuma class originally com
prised five cruisers, all built in
1920 and 1921, but some presum
ably have been sunk by American
planes or naval units. Each had
a normal complement of 439 of
ficers and men.
The admiralty said the cruiser
was signted in company with a
destroyer, presumably between
Malaya and Sumatra on the
northern approaches to the Ma
lacca straits.
"Proceedine at maximum sDeed.
his majesty's submarine closed to
within a mile of the enemy, when
a saivo or torpedoes was fired,
the communique said.
"Two hits were observed on the
cruiser, which sank. An Ineffect
ive counter-attack by the escort
ing Japanese destroyer then de-
veiopea.
Commander A Hero
The communique gave no de
tails of the sinking of the three
Japanese supply ships. It said the
victorious submarine was com
manded by Lt. Cmdr. L. W. A.
Bennington, holder of the dis
tinguished cross and distinguish
ed service order.
Naval sources said the sinkings
marked a come-back for the royal
navy in the Far East, where
British naval fortunes reached a
low ebb following the sinking of
he 35,000-ton Prince of Wales
and other units. It was only with
the greatest effort that Admiral
air James Somerville, com
mander In the Far East, scraped
together a small force when the
Japanese threatened to invade
India in 1942.
The allied conquest of the Medi
i"T?nean. plus the sinking of the
6.000-ton Scharnhorst in the
Arctic ocean, reduced the German
wa menace in the west and per
mitted a further shift of naval
strength to the eastern theater.

Fall of Minturno Puts
Britons Two Miles Past

By C. R. Cunningham
. (United Praia SUM Correspondent)
Allied Headquarters, Al
giers, Jan. 21 (UP) British
ground forces advanced north
ward along the Appian way
from captured Minturno to
day and official reports indi
cated the Germans were pre
paring for a general with
drawal on the allied fifth
army front.
A terse headquarters com
munique confirmed earlier
German. r porta that the Rome
bound British troops on the
western wing of the fifth
army line had taken Min
turno, coast anchor of the nazi
front, after a bitterly-con
tested 48-hour advance north
of the Garigliano river.
IThe capture of Minturno put
the British more than two miles
beyond the Garigliano, and a
radio Cairo broadcast said the
fifth army bridgeheads across
that river were now beyond range
of the German artillery).
Germans Withdraw
(The Cairo broadcast suggested
that the weight of the British of
fensive had forced a considerably
deeper German withdrawal on the
west coast than was reported in
the headquarters communique,
which covered operations through
Thursday.)
Today's .communique said con
stant pressure was maintained
on the German lines all across the
Italian peninsula, with allied
planes and artillery battering re
lentlessly at the nazi forward
positions.

- London, Jan. 21 Ut A great
fleet of allied planes paced by
American heavy bombers smash
ed at the French invasion coast
today after the royal air force
sent a record number of night
raiders at Berlin and pounded the
heart of nazidom with 2,000 to
2,500 tons of bombs at a rate of
more than 100 tons a minute.
United States and British war
planes boosted their pre-lnvasion
offensive to unprecedented peaks
of intensity, slugging Germany
and occupied territory in drum
fired order by night and by day.
Berlin Ablaze
While Berlin stUl blazed with
flames visible 150 miles through
the clouds last night, swarms of
raiders ranging through all cate
gories from U. S. four-motored
bombers to fighters returned to
the assault on the Pas de Clais
area of the French coast the so
called "Invasion coast."
The U. S. Eighth air force threw
its Fortresses, Liberators, medi
um bombers, and Thunderbolt and
Lightning fighters into the as
sault. They were flanked by RAF
medium bombers, light and fight-!
er bombers, and allied flehteis.
. More British bombers than ever
to strike at Berlin before were
Understood to have carried the
knockout offensive back to the
nazi capital last night. The bomb
tonnage, however, was believed
to have been short of a record 2,
576 tons delivered last Nov. 22.
The size of the previous record
fleet attacking Berlin never had
been announced. But in a double
header attack on Berlin and Lud-
wlgshafen on Nov. 18, the British
estimated that nearly 1,000 bomb
ers were used. On that basis last
night's force was believed to have
numbered around 900.
