A Japanese broadcast claimed that seven British and American planes spitfires and Curtlss P-40's wjre shot down in the daylight attack on Rangoon airport.) British and Burmese troops holding the north -south Salween line were called upon by a government spokesman to hold their ground at any cost because "any further with drawal will be dangerous." In the air attack on Rangoon six waves of bombers struck at the city by moonlight and another wave attacked at 8:30 a. m. Forty- four planes came over in six waves. With British and Indian troops battling Japanese and Thai forces along the Salween Reiver 100 miles east of Rangoon, this nation was under orders today "to fight the Japanese on every inch of our soil, to the last shot, and if necessary, to the last man. The orders were given by Bur- Jf Kisklmlnetia School, has the Caribbean Pur on February 16.

IAN FITCHEW (Official Australian Armp Correspondent) SINGAPORE. Feb. 6. (Delayed) (Australian Associated Press to C) We are rapidly becoming accustomed to the sound of shetlflre, which has increased in intensity during the past 34 hours. The Japanese have brought for- wnrd sufficient artillery to keep up fairly continuous nre and our gunners have been busy In counter battery work.

So far little damage has been done to anything on Singapore Island. The Japanese are pounding away with their larger-type mortars. Keen observation today picked out a party working at Mortar portions not far from the Johore end of the causeway and one of our batteries swung immediately onto the target. Accurate fire dispersed the Japa nese with casualties and no further attempt has been made to finish the job. One of our crack batteries put 23 rounds of rapid fire today into the Johore Bahru Baroque municipal buildings, the town's main landmark and a much more obvious observation post.

General Sir Archibald Wavell's message appeared in all unit orders today. (Wavcll, Ailed generalissimo in the southwest Pacific, declared in a special order of the day Wednesday that "our part is to guin time for great reinforcements which we and our American al lien nre sending to the eastern Before its receipt commanding officers had been instructed to impress on all troops the example of Tobruk and the fact that our complete control of no-man's land was a major factor In the success of that garrison. In the same way here leaders are determined that we will con' trol undisputed ly what is Singapore's no -man's land the narrow stretch of water separating this island from the mainland. In addition our men have been busy patrolling all the lonely creeks and estuaries that cut into the foreshore on the island. There will not be one such spot that will be unfamiliar to the men guarding that area and mobile patrols will deal swiftly with any Japanese attempt to steal small parties across in efforts to establish a bridgehead.

Movement by night will be one of the main features of this work, and the Australian forces will have cause to bless the long weary hours of night training they have put in in the Jungle the past year. The lessons of Crete have not been forgotten in Singapore and special attention is being paid to the parachute danger. DUTCH BATAVIA, E. 'b. fl.

AP Japanese forces have occupied the town of Samardina, 60 miles north of the oil port of Balik Papan on the east coast of Borneo, the Netherlands Indies high command announced today without giving fur- MEN'S PAJAMAS I Mi In U.

Today rounded out the first full week of Japanese siege.

By and large, the battle now has become a waitine earn Singapore observed today the usuiru anniversary oi lis iounenng by Sir Stamford Haffles for the East India Comcanv. The British Far EaatPrn fnm. mand announced that its artillery kept up a running fire on Japanese trtmp movements'" in the town at the end of the ruined causeway which once connected Singapore with the Malayan Mainland. Japanese fliers concentrated their machinegun fire and bombs on forward troops guarding the northern ish Stand reariv aoaincf Inuaetnn me communique said Singapore was raided again today by the Japanese air force but It did not mention damage or casualties.

A fourth alarm was sounded shortly before 9 a and no bombs fell. Hurricane fighters went up to meet the Japanese in me xourcn tnrust. HOEY'S (For the second straight day the Dutch made no mention of the situation at Ambolna, the Indies' second most important naval and air base on the blank of the United Nation's supply line from Australia.

On Wednesday the Dutch said their troops still were resisting a Japanese Invasion force in bitter fighting. Since then there has been no further word.) Samardina was a "feeding point" for the Ballk Papan oil Installations to which it was connected by a pipeline. The high command report, is sued through the new agency An eta, said a Japanese raiding force estimated at 40 bombers and 20 fighters which attacked the Soer- abaja naval base yesterday lost two fighter planes "and presumably two bombers" against the loss of three Dutch aircraft. The fact that the Japanese raiding force had such a strong fighter escort was taken to indicate the planes came from an aircraft car rier, since the Japanese did not have any land base within striking distance of Soeraboja, the United Nations' key base in the southw-t Pacific since the siege of Singapore. Japanese fighter planes attacked a number of towns in East Java today.

BURMA RANGOON, Burma, Feb. 6. (Pi American volunteer and British fighter pilots shattered a big Japanese daylight air raid today on Rangoon, shooting down ten plane? and perhaps destroying ten more, a communique announced. The Americans alone shot down seven of the total for sure and were credited with five of those prnbably destroyed in the fierce blow dealt the raiders who had come back by daylight after pounding Rangoon for the third straight night The American and British fighters, the communique said, came through the sky battle without a single loss. An' army communique reported, meanwhile, that the "situation on the Salween river front has become quieter in the past 24 hours.

It said Japanese and British artillery were in action, the Japanese shelling Martaban spasmodically without causing damage or casualties, and British guns pounding the Japanese-held Paan area farther north. The Japanese attacked Rangoon with six waves totalling 44 planes by moonlight and ran into the full fury of the deefnse fighters when Lemon Juice Recipe Checks Rheumatic Pain Quickly If you suffer from rheumatic, arthritis or neuritis pain, try this simple Inexpensive home recipe thoiitinrtH am usintr.

A British heudquarters communique at Cairo said there had been no change in the land situation yesterday, indicating the Imperials were standing firm some 50 to 60 miles west of the port where a British garrison successfully withstood a seven months siege. Axis communiques, heard here by radio, bore this out. The Germans spoke vaguely of "pursuit of the enemy in Eastern Cirenaica" and the Italians claimed the cap-lure of Tmimi, 60 miles west of Tobruk. The Italians added that they were continuing "their pursuit" of the enemy "in the vicinity of Ain El Gazala," which is some 30 miles west of Tobruk but they made no claim to capture of the town. The mechanizezd reinforcements and supply columns of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel were attacked in the green mountains of the Jebel El Akdar region at the top of the Libyan hump.

The British said that a large number of vehicles were destroyed and burned and that many casualties were inflicted upon the Germans and Italians. The British apparently held stubbornly to the flat desert region eouth of the Jebel El Akdar, and their columns have been active on patrol duties as far west as Msub, about 70 miles southeast of Axis-held Bangasl. The British, at the outset of the campaign three months ago, asserted that their aim was to annihilate Rommel's army rather than capture miles of desert sand. But if the Axis has been able to dispatch sufficient reinforcements of men and material across the perilous Mediterranean, the British themselves in the desert south of the mountains may face en circlement. MALAYAN SINGAPORE, Feb.

Amid the thunder of heavy mortars, can non and aerial bombs, interspersed by the chatter of machine-guns, sharp-eyed sentinels kept roving watch today lor the inevitable Japanese assault by parachutists or wa ter-borne shock troops against this Island citadel. On an extended tour of positions along the watery no-man's-land of Johore Strait this corres pondent found tens of thousands of British, Australian and Indian soldiers manning the beaches, inlets, swamps and rubber plantations fronting on the Japanese mainland concentration points. Patrols worked constantly up and down the creekmoutha which cut into tne norm snore of Singapore Island, within rifle ahot of Japanese positions across the Strait, where at any hour the Japanese might try to tnrow a bridge of boats and men. In other vantage spots stationary lookouts kept on guard for parachutist. The similarity of the present sit uation to that of Crete with the proximity at the foe emphasizing tne danger hundredfold has impressed the threat at "vertical envelopment" on Singapore's defend era.

But the British Imperials no longer will be taken by surprise. Special attention is being given to the paracnute ureal.
