quarters at the same time warn
ed of a fresh threat in the south,
where they said the Japanese
were landing reinforcements.
Army advices otherwise were
meager, simply reporting "no
material change" in the north or
south. An officer returned from
the northern front said the Japan

from Tayug, 100 miles north of
Manila and 20 miles inland from

"Full Retreat"
Bert Silen, NBC reporter in
Manila, said eyewitnesses return

Japanese "in full retreat" in the
province of Pangasisnan. just
south of Lingayen gulf, with four
towns recaptured out of the six
they had occupied. In the south,
Silen said, the defenders' lines
"are in excellent position . . . ex

One tank commnnder told the
reporter that "during our many
sallies into enemy territory those
Filipinos just rushed in front of
our tanks to get at the Japs.
Hell, what do they think our
tanks are here for?''
After the American lines had
been reestablished, the fighting
settled down into long-range
artillery exchanges, with fre
quent intense tank action in
which the Japanese infantry, fol
lowing up its tanks, was said to
have lost heavily.
A fleet of Japanese transports
in Lingayen gulf, off the coast
of the province of La Union, was
reported driven off by the Am
erican guns without even at
tempting any further landings.
Manila, meanwhile, after two
days of successive bombing in
spite of its designation as an open
city, saw no raiders today. There
was a 56-minute air raid alarm
starting at 12:37 p. m. 17:37
p. m., PST Sunday) but no raid
ers appeared.
(Silen reported two alarms
without bombs being dropped.
He said there were unconfirmed
reports that Dutch planes had
sunk 12 Japanese transports
seeking to land reinforcements
at Davao, on the island of Min
danao). Japanese planes raided the
island fortress of Corrcgidor, at
the entrance to Manila bay, for
two hours, but lost a number of
planes in the operation. Four
planes staged an unsuccessful at
tack on two bridges near Calum
pit in Balaean province. 26 miles
northwest of Manila, where
three civilians were injured.
Anti-aircraft guns at the front
were reported to have brought
down nine Japanese planes Sat

Stab at Norway
Reminiscent of the previous
British raids on the Lofoten is
lands and Spitzbergen, British
army, naval and air forces made
a concerted stab Saturday on
the small Norwegian island of
Vaagso, 100 miles north of
Bergen. ;
A communique, disclosing de- !
tails, said eight ships totaling
15,650 tons, oil tanks, ammuni-
tion stores and a Quisling-owned
factory were destroyed and the
entire German garrison captured
or killed.
Commandos, the new, mys
terious leathernecks specially de
veloped by the British for such
assaults were in the van of the
attack.
j One officer said the blow to
i shipping seriously hurt Ger
many's communications with the
Russian front because Vaagso
was the assembly point for nazi
convoys carrying supplies to the
I far northern sector of the east
ern front.
In Libya, the advancing Brit

j seemed to have slackened and

have scored telling counter

j Both said 58 British tanks and
i armored cars were destroyed in
a repulsed British thrust south
of Agedabia and the fascist com
munique declared a heavy Brit
ish cruiser and two torpedo
boats were hit with aerial tor
pedoes in an attack on a British
naval formation in the eastern
Mediterranean.

ring ceremony was also used.
The church was decorated with
gold colored chrysanthemums
and gold candles were used at
the alter. A golden wedding
certificate was presented to the
couple. The bride wore a beige
colored basque dress which was
a replica of her wedding dress
of 50 years ago. Her corsage

ed by her two daughters. Miss
Dorothy, of Lakeview, and Mrs.
Inez Doty, of Los Angeles. They
wore dresses of powcter blue
crepe. The bride was given in
marriage by Harry Utlcy.
Proceeding the ceremony Mrs.
Harry Utley sang "Fifty Years
Ago." She was accompanied by
Mrs. Herbert Sanderson who also
played the wedding march. How
ard Nolte acted as best man.
Ushers were Earl Clough and
Frank Vilcs.
Preceding the ceremony, Mrs.
ception was held in the church
parlors. Mrs. Watson cut a three
tiered wedding cake which was
decorated with yellow roses and
gold leaves. Gold appointments
were used at the table. Mrs. H.
M. Nolte and Mrs. Elsie McGrath
poured. Other friends assisting
in the serving were Mrs. W. R.
Elliott, Mrs. G. S. Simpson, Mrs.
Robert Wade, Mrs. H. H. Lasater,
Mrs. E. M. Haught, Mrs. E. W.
Follett, Mrs. Frank Barnes and
Mrs. Claude Graham.
Mr. and Mrs. Watson were
married December 23, 1891, in
Wellsville, Kansas. Their first
home was in Somerset, Kansas,
where Watson was engaged in
the teaching profession. In 1896
he entered the Indian service
where he served as an instructor
and later as a superintendent,
serving in that capacity at Klam
ath Agency until 1914 when he
resigned and moved to Lake
view. Watson has been engaged
in the abstract business in Lake
view ever since.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.
(AP) The navy, disclosing that
Japanese broke in upon an
American shortwave broadcast
to the Philippines with false re
ports ol a bombing attack on
San Francisco, asked radio lis
teners today to be watchful for
such enemy activities.
'This was the first evidence
of an apparent new propaganda
technique by the Japanese an
effort to create panic by means
of the direct lie," the 12th naval
district declared.
An announcement by the
navy said listeners In Manila
were astonished Sunday morn
ing when the regular broad
cast from San Francisco's sta
tion KGEI was Interrupted by
announcements that 'a fleet of
Japanese planes' had bombed
San Francisco, leaving much of
the city in flames.

Japi See Victory
As Mr. Roosevelt's message
wus mude public, Uoinei already
was anticipating victory. The
official Japanese news agency
reported that tho Mikudu's ex
peditionary forces on Luzon were
concentrating their main efforts
on capturing Manila "before
New Year's."
The Domel announcement oc
casioned no great surprise here,
for it is well known that the
Japuucio seek to have their vic
tories fall on Important fe.stlvuls
and New Year's Is Jiipuni

U wus noted that the Jupunetc

I these rumors arc Intended fur

I "The Philippines may rest as
sured that while tho United
States navy will not bo tricked
into disclosing vital Information,
the fleet is not Idle."
This was the first official
statement on the fleet since the
week after the Pearl Harbor at
tack of Dec. 7. Then Navy Sec
retary Knox disclosed that the
main body of tho fleet with Its
battleships, cruisers, ulrcruft cur
riers and submarines was "at sea
seeking contact with the enemy."
At first glance, tho navy an
nouncement last night was in
terpreted in some sources as a
hint that it still might be pos
sible to striko a telling blow
which would put on entirely new
aspect on tho situation in the
Philippines. They noted, In pass
ing, that Japan's widely scatter
ed invasion thrusts in the South
Pacific required substantial naval
support, forcing a reduction In
