(Continued From Page One) In the galleries of the crowded House as the Prime Minister spoke U. S. Ambassador John Winant, Russian Ambassador Ivan Maisky and the high commissioner of Eire, J. W. Dulanty, Bidding for a show of British unanimity, the Prime Minister told the House that when Rudolf Hess, No.

2 deputy of Hitler, "flew over here some months ago, he firmly believed he had only to gain access to certain circles in this country for what he described as the Churchill clique to be thrown out of power and for a government to be set up with which Hitler could negotiate a magnanimous peace." "That may seem silly to us but It is mischievous abroad and I am sure the House would wish to make its position clear," the Prime Minister went on. "Since I have been back in this country I have had inquiries from a dozen governments based on enemy propaganda turning upon the point as to whether the government is to be dismissed from power or not." Churchill disclosed that Britain had "never had more than 450,000 men against an enemy more than double that strength" during the battle of Libya. Nevertheless, against 18,000 men of the imperial army killed, wounded or captured, "of which the greater part were British," he said German General Erwin Rommel "has lost three times our land highly profitable transaction." The battle of Libya would have been lost Nov. 24, he said, had not General Sir Claude J. E.

Auchinleck, commander of the British Middle Eastern forces, "intervened himself, changed command and ordered the ruthless pressure of attack to be maintained without regard to risks or consequences." "But for this robust decision we should now be back on the line from which we started," Churchill continued, "or perhaps further back. Tobruk would possibly have fallen and Rommel would be marching toward the Nile. Circnaica Regained "Cirenaica has been still has to be held. "We have in our possession 36,500 prisoners including many wounded, of which 10,500 are Germans. "We have killed and wounded at least 11,500 Germans and 13,000 Italians.

"In all we have accounted for 61,000 men. There is also a mass of enemy wounded, some of which have been evacuated to the rear, to sea, or to the westward." Furthermore, Churchill declared, the Axis has lost 852 aircraft and 386 tanks. ADRIAN DAILY TELEGRAM, ADRIAN, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1942 leagues and Mends to appease the clamor of a certain section of the British and Australian press? "11 I were capable of doing that I would be incapable of rendering to this country and this House any further service." Churchill furthermore took personal responsibility for diplomatic policy toward Russia and the handling of Britain's resources, strategy and dispositions of forces in the Pacific area. Must Have Trust "I am the man that Parliament and the nation has got to blame for the general way in which they were served," he told them. "And I cannot serve them effectively unless, in spite of all that has gone wrong and is going to go wrong, I have their trust and their faithful aid." Churchill warned that Japanese naval supremacy would last "long enough for Japan to inflict many heavy and painful losses on all the United Nations with establishments and possessions in the Far East But if we persevere, the boot will be on the other leg." The Prime Minister pledged that "the battle of the Malay Peninsula and the approaches to Singapore will be fought to the last inch by British, Australian and Indian forces which have been reinforced in the last week." Amid the House's cheers, Churchill paid tribute to "the splendid courage" of Gen.

Douglas MacArthur and his forces holding out in the Philippines and to the Dutch "for playing one of the main parts in the Malayan battle." Churchill said that during his visit to the United States "I had many discussions with the President on Anglo American war direction." "In order to wage war effectively against Japan," he added, "it was agreed with Mr. Roosevelt that the latter propose establishment of a Pacific council in Washington or London, to include representatives of Australia and New Zealand as well as Britain and The Netherlands." A decision had not yet been reached whether the proposed Pacific council meet in London or Washington, he said. He reported that Australia wishes and New Zealand prefers. Washington and that he was in communication with the United States Executive on the proposal. Wants Representation Churchill said the Australian government asked for accredited representation in the war cabinet in formulation and direction of policy.

"We have, of course, agreed," he said. "The same facilities will be accorded to New Zealand, Canada and South Africa." The Prime Minister said he doubted that Japan would attempt an invasion of Australia which he hostile force had to rely on the planes of a single carrier both for fighter protection and for patrol against the rapier-like Allied thrusts. At no time have the statements reported more than a dozen enemy fighters in the fact which might indicate one of the smaller- sized five of these were shot down when they tangled with a flight of U. S. army flying fortresses.

Although the main theater of U. S. naval operations was obviously in Macassar Strait at the moment, Admiral Thomas C. Hart wag getting in blows elsewhere with units of tBje Asiatic fleet to keep the enemy occupied. The Navy Department disclosed late yesterday that the fleet's mile- a-minute mosquito torpedo boats had paid a return visit to Subic Bay on Luzon Island In the Philippines and sunk their second ton enemy ship in those waters.

The first was sent to the bottom in a daring raid on the same harbor last week. AEF He declined to predict the out- described as "a very ambitious ov- come of the Libyan hattle but he erseas operation in the precarious declared that "after two and a half years of war we have only just managed to keep our heads above water We are beginning to see our way through and it looks more than ever before that we are going to win." Churchill dwelt at length on the achievements of Russia and told the House that "we have sent Stalin exactly what he asked for." Nevertheless, he acknowledged ruefully that bad weather had caused "a small lag" and promised it would be made up "by the early days of February." Britain's aid to Russia in munitions, the Prime Minister declared, contributed not only to the Russian victories but also to better relations between Britain and the Soviet Union. Never since "we were deserted by the Bordeaux-Vichy government and were set upon by Italy," said Churchill, "has the situation in the Nile Valley, both west and east, been as favorable." But, he said, only by the smallest margin have the British so far succeeded in beating Romrnel in Cirenaica and only by the victories of the Russians on the Black Sea "have we been spared the overrunning of those vast lands from the Levant to the Caspian." Telling the House that every tank and every aircraft squadron was needed in Libya, Churchill declared it would "see by what a small margin and by what strokes of fortune we so far have survived." Refers to Europe Invasion Referring to the demands on him last summer and fall for a continental invasion by the British, Churchill commented that "all the troubles in the Far East and middle east might have been sunk into insignificance compared with another and far worse Dunkirk" had he yielded. Turning to other war theaters, Churchill said that because of a cabinet policy of avoiding embroilment with Japan, "we have lain for nearly two years under the threat of attack by Japan." "Now that the blow has fallen," he added, "it does not fall upon us alone." The Prime Minister called Britain's munitions output "gigantic" and said it was "rounding up in remarkable manner." Praising Lord Beaverbrook, minister of supply, Churchill said "we are producing twice as many and far more complicated guns every month as we did in the peak of 1917 and 1918." "Tank production has doubled in the last six months," he disclosed. "Small arms production is more than twice what it was six months ago.

In aircraft production, there is a steady increase not only in the numbers, but in the size and quality of aircraft' 1 Beeause of preoccupations else- whereh.steaedrse where, he asserted, Britain had it in her power "only to make moderate and partial provisions in the Far East against the hypothetical danger of Japanese attack." "Why then should I be called upon to pick scapegoats and throw the blame on generals and soldiers?" He demanded bluntly of those who have been urging cabinet changes. "Why should 1 be called on to drive away loyal and trusted col- and certainly limited time before the British and American navies regained, as they must regain, ultimate command of the Pacific." obstacles will be placed in the way of Australian troops wishing to return to defend their own country," he said. "We are taking many measures with the United States to increase the security of Australia and New Zealand and are sending reinforcements, arms and equipment by the best routes." Turning to forces of the United States, the Prime Minister said: "United States fighter and bomber squadrons will take part in the defense of these Isles and their bombers will attack Germany." Dealing with the arrival of United Slates troops in Northern Ireland yesterday, he told Commons that "very considerable forces are following as opportunity serves." Churchill also mentioneil arrangements with President Roosevelt that there "should be bodies in Washington called combined staff committees." "We must also concert together in close collaboration with Stalin and Chiang Kai-Shek," he said. Referring to his United States visit, Churchill declared: "I established with President Roosevelt relations of comradeship and friendship. "We can say anything to each other, however painful.

"Mr. Roosevelt's last words to me were 'we will fight this through to the bitter end, whatever the cost may be'." "There is no question of regarding the Pacific war as a secondary operation," Churchill asserted. "The United States Navy is linked in the most intimate union with the Admiralty, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific." Concluding his speech, he said: "Although I feel the broadening swell of victory and liberation bearing us and all tortured peoples outward safely to the final goal, I must confess to feeling the weight of the war upon me even more than in the tremendous summer days of 1940." Therefore, he said, he felt entitled to ask the House of Commons for its encouragement. fContinuPd From Paee One) Japan was credited with eight carriers in authorities say the start of the war, and two under construction. The U.

S. strength then was seven built and 11 building. The probable sinking of the escorting carrier therefore served a double purpose. It reduced the temporary Japanese numerical edge in this warship category, and it also weakened further the naval strength available for protecting the badly mauled convoy fleet Japanese air resistance throughout the Macassar Strait battle has been surprisingly weak, when compared with the strong air support that has characterized all other operations to date. This led to the belief here that the convoy fleet was caught beyond the fighter range of the nearest Japanese land bases on Borneo and Celebes, the two islands flanking the strait; that the fierce intensity of the Allied attack took the enemy by surprise, and finally that the (Continued From Paee One) "You are impressive examples of American military might," declared Sir Archibald Sinclair, British Air Minister, who welcomed them.

So great was the secrecy surrounding the Atlantic crossing that only a small band of curious onlookers was on hand as the big transports were warped alongside the quays. When military bands struck up "The Star Spangled Banner," however, a ragged cheer went up from shore, and like wildfire the electrifying cry ran through the town: "The Yanks are here!" Spectators crowded to the streets as the troops marched out of the dockyard after the brief official greeting, swinging along to the stirring strains of "Marching Through Georgia" with the stars and stripes fluttering proudly at the head of the-column. The Doughboys looked grim as they paraded through town, full packs on their backs and tin hats on their heads. Grins came to their faces, however, as they broke marching formation to entrain for their encampments and they exchanged triendly greetings with British and Irishmen who crowded close to them. While most of the Doughboys hailed from the mid west and many had never before been aboard any vessel larger than a river steamer, they seemed to be taking in stride the excitement attendant upon their trans-Atlantic voyage.

"When Do We "When do we eat?" was the question that seemed uppermost in their minds. They learned quickly that they would get what the British call "a heavy breakfast and two heavy meals" a day. British soldiers get one heavy meal and three light ones daily. Plans for the disposition to be made of the American troops were not announced, but it was assumed that began only a year ago for be resumed with emphasis placed upon tactics developed by British soldiers who already have seen action on the continent and elsewhere. Most of the Americans appeared anxious to come to grips with the enemy.

"They're all eager for a fight," was the way one of their officers put it. First Class Private Milburn Henke, 22, of Hutchinson, son of a German immigrant to the United States, was the first soldier ashore. He proudly displayed a postcard from his father saying: "give 'em hell." Though the Atlantic crossing was described laconically by the navy as "routine" it was an exciting adventure. The ever-present danger of enemy submarines, frequent boat drills, the sight of protecting warships wallowing through the waves and the eerie night when the convoy swept on without a light showing all combined to add to the air of excitement. Because of the number of passengers aboard the 20-year-old transport to which we were assigned there were only half enough lifeboats to go around and the remainder of the personnel was assigned to liferafts.

(Continued From Page One) Meanwhile the conference swung into its final session today in agreement on measures designed to strengthen Western Hemisphere solidarity, but still facing the problem of settling a longstanding border dispute between Peru and Ecuador. Concern over this problem was increased by reports that unless a satisfactory formula is produced before the hour set for the closing session, Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Julio Tobar Donoso might decline to sign the resolution recommending severance of relations with the Axis. The resolution already has been approved by the political committee of the conference, but the ceremonial signing is scheduled for today. The urgency attached to settlement of the boundary issue tended to overshadow expectations that Brazil might announce a break with the Axis before the hour of adjournment Many observers believed that Brazilian Foreign Minister Dr. Oswaldo Aranha, might make such an announcement in his closing address as president of the conference.

Action by Brazil would leave Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia the only nations still maintaining ties with the Axis powers but the Bolivian cabinet announced after a meeting last night at La Paz that its foreign minister had been directed to sign the rupture resolution and that a decree formalizing the break would be issued shortly Leaders of the conference did not SEVEN MICHIGAN IN BRIEF By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS members of 22 Michigan educational institutions are attending a ten-day seminar here in the art of careful driving on the The educators are to establish classes in their institutions as part of the regular teachers' training course, in theory that graduates in future years may conduct similar work for benefit of high school students. LANSING Lieut. Col. Harold A. Furlong prepared a report to the State Defense Council today that 50,000 Michigan persons are in training already for volunteer jobs In the Civilian Defense Corps.

Most of them, Colonel Furlong said, are enrolled in first aid classes for basic instruction, awaiting assignment to posts as air raid wardens, fire watchers, police and fire auxiliaries, and other protective work. Furlong said he sought to complete in time for Wednesday's council meeting an estimate of the total number required to give Michigan an adequate staff of Civilian Defense workers. Such an estimate has been requested by the regional and national said. offices, he Bills Presented to Governor 16 bills enacted by the legislature in special session last week will be presented to the executive office today for signature of Governor Van Wagoner which will make them immediately effective laws. The legislature will formally conclude its special session at noon, with only a handful of legislators expected to be on hand for the formality of having someone announce from rostrums of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate that the special session has been adjourned sine die.

The legislature wound up its work Thursday, adjourning to today. Governor Van Wagoner is absent from the city, and is not scheduled to return from a trip to Washington until tonight. LANSING The politically-influential State Association of County Supervisors assembled today for its annual convention, leaders predicting that the forces of Melville B. McPherson, veteran rural Republican leader, will regain the control they lost last winter. Van Philp, Bad Axe, association president whose traditional promotion from first vice-presidency last year was fought by McPherson, said he expected to be succeeded in regular manner by Nicholas Murphy, Mt.

Morris, a McPherson follower and first vice president this year. Philp said he and his friends planned no fight against Murphy, believing in retention of the tradition that the first vice president is entitled to the promotion. Philp said, however, that he would not appoint McPherson to the resolutions committee which he usually has dominated. The convention was to open at noon with a symposium of highway problems, mainly concerned, it was expected, with proposals to reduce the automobile weight tax. Speakers were to include L.

The board scheduled a public hearing at which representatives of the oil industry could explain the effect of pro-ration reductions on various producing fields. Since the Federal Petroleum Coordinator's office cut Michigan's production maximum from 47,400 barrels daily in January to 47,000 a day in February, individual pool reductions are expected to result from the hearing.

expect Argentina to sever her ties with the Axis immediately, though she has approved the conference measure recommending a bre'ak. They were hopeful, however, that Chile and Ecuador might act soon in accordance with the resolution. Satisfaction with the achievements of the conference was expressed last night by Sumner Welles, United States Under Secretary of State and head of the Washington delegation, in a broadcast address. "The most far-reaching and practical steps ever agreed upon by the American republics," he said, "have been taken for the preservation of the defense and security ot the Americas." WAR BRIEFS BERLIN, (From German broadcasts), Jan. 27 German high command said today it had established that the British battleship, Barham, had been sunk by air attack off the Libyan coast in November.

The high command recalled that its statement of Nov. 26 reported that a British warship had been attacked by torpedo-carrying aircraft and was heavily damaged. The identity of the warship and the fact that it sank after the attack now has been ascertained, today's statement said. Barham was put in service in 1914 and carried a crew of about 1,200 men. Its loss never has been reported by the VICHY, Unoccupied France, Jan.

BERLIN, (From German broad casts), Jan. 27 (IP) troops have inflicted heavy new losses in men and material on the Russian army in sustained hard fighting on the eastern front, the high command announced today. Despite bad weather conditions, the air force is taking a strong supporting role in the fighting and has carried out sharp attacks on military targets in the Leningrad area, a statement said.

Three other Axis transports had been reported destroyed in those Arctic waters in the previous two days. Four German planes were brought down near Moscow Monday, the statement reported.

British radio broadcast a Russian report that 959 German planes had been shot down over or near the Russian capital since Hitler's fliers started raiding the city last The statement declared Germany lost 126 planes in the fighting last week, against 41 Russian aircraft destroyed. (Continued From Page One) On the central sector of the front, the British indicated they still were holding positions south of Kluang and Ayer Hitam, but said the Japanese were attacking steadily with the support of incessant dive-bombing and machine- gunning attacks. Kluang is about 50 miles north of Singapore on the central Malayan railway and Ayer Hitam is about 19 miles northeast of Batu Pahat. British fighting planes and antiaircraft batteries were in prolonged action this morning as Japanese bomber formations unloaded bombs on several districts on Singapore island. Most of the bombs fell inland.

Scrugham (D-Nev.) told the House today in opening debate on the 517,722,565,474 naval appropriations bill, largest in history.

As chairman of the naval appropriations sub-committee, Scrugham disclosed that "it is now the plan to slow down on the units the least advanced and to concentrate on the ones slated for commissioning in the near future." He asserted that the battle of Crete and the sinking of the British capital ships, Prince of Wales and Repulse had demonstrated the superiority of air power over sea power, but added that "as long as our enemies may roam the seas with these heavily gunned and armored ships, we must have some suitable 'craft to put against them, and to seek them out and destroy them in areas beyond the reach of aircraft." At present, Scrugham said, the United States has 15 capital ship.5, under way. The bill includes more than $300,000,000 toward their construction. There are now 383 combat ships building, he said, and 3,136 auxiliary and special type craft are under way. The new appropriations include provisions for additional non-rigid airships, barrage balloons, and completion of a 000-pIane program for the navy and marine corps. Scrugham added that "there is in the making I understand, a program for a total of 27,000 naval airplanes." The sub-committee chairman explained that the most stupendous measure ever presented to a legislative be boosted to $20,000,000,000 by contract authorizations.

He said that 58,206,760,385 would go to new ship construction and described the "special types" program approved by the oHuse in a resolution Jan. 21. as "highly confidential." Scrugham also told of a fund for building naval and air bases anywhere in the world that war might make necessary. 'We have to meet a world-wide problem of construction before us," he said. "We must provide funds to go into any area where there is a need for shore facilities to support our fleets in the air or on the sea.

We are appropriating $450,000,000 to meet cuch emergency situations." Besides the amount for new ship building, the bill calls for $1,339,113,068 for naval personnel; $5,083,185,348 for fleet maintenance and operation; $1,668,281,470 for aviation, and $585,525,246 for bases.

27 upward direction was maintained or selected stocks in today's mar- set but the move was hardly as mphatic as In the preceding ses- ion. Early buying centered on rails, teels, oils and specialties with ractional advances being the rule, few favorites got up a point or, o. Quotations wavered in some ases near the fourth hour and dealings slackened after a fair mount of forenoon activity. Reports of further Japanese warship casualties in the Far Fa- ific cheered Wall Street and the lopeful tone of Prime Minister Churchill's address to the House of Commons was encouraging. The growing threat to Singapore was offset marketwise.

Many bright arnings statements helped coun- eract persistent tax doubts. Among stocks new highs for 941-42 were recorded for Lqew's, Devoe Reynolds and Cuban- Sugar. The sugars, though, seemed to have run out of team. In front at times were N. Central, Great Northern, U.

S. iteel. Standard Oil (NJ), Sears Roebuck, Paramount Pictures and I. Case. Backward were General Motors, ihrysler, Du Pont, Union Carbide and Boeing.

Supported in a slim curb were American Gas, Electric Bond Share, and Aluminum of America.
