A British heudquarters communique at Cairo said there had been no chunge 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 Cirenalca" and the Italians claimed the capture 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 they to made no claim to capture of the town. The mechanized 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 desert region south of the Jebel El Akdar, and their columns have been active on patrol duties as far west as Msus, about 70 miles. southeast of Axis-held Bangasi. The British, at the outset of the campaign three months ago, asserted that their aim was to anni-9 hilate 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 encirclement.

MALAYAN MEXICO-1 os. ITALY-5 os. JAPAN-6 os. SINGAPORE, Feb. the thunder of heavy mortars, cannon and aerial bombs, interspersed by the chatter of machine-guns, sharp-eyed sentinels kept roving watch today for the inevitable Japanese assault by parachutists or water-borne shock troops against this island citadel.

On an extended tour of positions along the watery no-man'sland of Johore Strait, this correspondent 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 creekmouths which cut into the north shore of Singapore Island, within rifle shot of Japanese positions across the Strait, where at any hour the Japanese might try to throw a bridge of boats and men. In other vantage spots stationary lookouts kept on guard for parachutists. The similarity of the present situation to that of Crete- -with the proximity of the toe emphasizing the danger a hundredfold--has pressed the threat of "vertical envelopment" on Singapore's ers. But the British Imperials no er will be taken by surprise.

Special attention is being given to the parachute threat.

Bombs were dropped during the first three alerts but Hurricane fighters evidently drove off the fourth wave before its racks could be emptied. Today rounded out the first full week of Japanese siege.

The full strength which the enemy had poured into Malaya for the twomonth advance to the Strait of Johore apparently was still being mustered. By and large, the battle now has become a waiting game. Singapore observed today the 123rd anniversary of its founding by Sir Stamford Haffles for the East India Company. The British Far Eastern Command announced that its artillery kept up a running fire on Japanese troop 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 shore of the island, where the British stand ready against invasion.

The communique said Singapore was raided again today by the Japanese air force but it did not mention damage or casualties. Civilian casualties in yesterday's air raids were 14 killed and 104 injured. The announced toll for the past three days thus i increased to 77 killed and 332 injured. Three alarms were sounded during the next morning hours and bombs were dropped. A fourth alarm was sounded shortly before a.m., and no bombs fell.

Hurricane fighters went up to meet the Japanese in the fourth thrust. One Japanese fighter was shot down out of a formation raiding Singapore this morning and three were damaged. One RAY fighter plane was acknowledged missing but 'n pilot previously reported missing turned up safe. BY SERGT. IAN FITCHETT (Oncial Australian Armp Cor- respondent) SINGAPORE, Feb, -(Australian Associated Press to (P) -We are rapidly becoming customed to the sound of shellfire, which has increased In Intensity during the past 24 hours.

The Japanese have brought forward suffclent artillery to keep up A fairly continuous fire and our a gunners have been busy in counter battery work. So far little damage has been done to anything on Singapore land. The Japanese are pounding away with their larger -type mortars, Keen observation today picked out a party working at Mortar positions not far from the Johore end of the causeway and one of our batteries swung immediately onto the target. Accurate fire dispersed the Japanese with casualtics 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 Jandmark and a much more obvious observation post.

General Sir Archibald Wavell's message appeared in all unit orders today. (Wavell, Alied generalissimo in the southwest Pacific, declared in a order of the day Wedespecial, hat "our part is to guin time for great reinforcements which we and our American allies are 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 control undisputedly 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 DUTCH BATAVIA, N. E.

Feb. 6. APJapanese 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 further details of the occupation. (For the second straight day the Dutch made no mention of the situation at Amboina, the Indies' second most Important naval and air base on the blank of the finited Nation's supply line from Australla. On Wednesday the Dutch sald 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 Balik Papan oil installations to which it was connected by A pipeline.

The high command report, issued through the new agency Aneta, said a Japanese raiding force estimated at 40 bombers and 20 fighters which attacked the Soerabaja 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 carrier, since the Japanese did not have any land base within striking distance of Soerabaja, the United Nations' key base in the southw-st Pacific since the siege of Singapore. Japanese fighter planes attacked a number of towns in East Java today. BURMA RANGOON, Burma, Feb. -American volunteer and British fighter pilots shattered a big Japanese daylight air raid today on Rangoon, shooting down ten planes 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 probably destroyed in the flerce 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. communique reported, meanwhile. that the "situation on the Salween river front has become quieter in the past 24 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 1 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 that thousands are using.

ter they scored heavily in an of. tensive smash of (heir own at nese positions along the Salween river battlefront. In that attack the allied bombers gave Japanese-held Paan such a ruinous bombing that a Texas-born fighter pilot likened the destruction to that at Coventry. (A Japanese broadcast claimed that seven British and American and Curtiss P-40'8 -were shot down in the daylight attack on Rangoon airport.) British and Burmese troops holding the north-south Salween line were called upon by government spokesman to hold their 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 9:30 a. Fortyfour planes came over in six waves.
