WASHINGTON, Jan. 29—oT*)—
Artillery of General Douglas Mac-
Arthur's durable little Philippines
army has inflicted heavy losses and
played havoc with Japanese in-
fantry plunges at its flanks, said
a war department communique to-
day which also raised to at least
38 the number of enemy ships
sunk or damaged in Macassar
Strait.
The news coincided with evidence
that Germany had shifted a major
portion of its submarine war to
American waters, with marauding
U-boats off the coast of Texas.
"Headlong” was the word the
war department used to describe
Japanese attacks against MacAr-
thur on Batan peninsula. “Enemy
losses were heavy,” it added.
Fighting Planes Downed
One Japanese transport in the
Borneo harbor of Balik Papan was
destroyed, another set afire, and
two enemy fighting planes shot
down by five American bombers J
which returned safely to their i
base, the department said.
The Japs’ terrible losses in the
strait were put even higher in a
broadcast by the Sydney, Austra-
lia, radio which figured the total I
at 48 warships and transports, the
latter carrying 25,000 invasion
troops.

More Than 20,000 Trained
More than 20,000 Oklahoma
youths have been given training
useful in the national defense In
CCC camps since President Roose-
velt declared a limited emergency
in May 1940, according to statis-
tics which have recently been re-
leased by the Oklahoma state se-
lecting agency. During December
1941. a total of 4,103 Oklahoma
youths were members of the corps.
Company commanders of CCC
camps in Oklahoma are finding
it increasingly difficult to main-
tain their "overhead,” the admin-
istrative personnel chosen from
among the enrolees, because of the
rapidity with which these train-
ed men are finding jobs in pri-
vate industry.
Army enlistments from among
corps members have slowed down
after the initial rush which fol- *
lowed the declaration of war. State
CCC officials surmise that this
is because many of the youths in
camp are below the minimum en-
listment age.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 29—(U.R)
[—Oklahoma’s part in the war ef-
fort was advanced further today
with the announcement that three
new airports will be built in the
state and that a $100,000 charter
has been issued to build an air-
plane parts factory at Enid.
The three new fields, to be
built in cooperation with munici-
palities and civil aeronautics funds,
will be located at Enid, Ada and
Shawnee.
S. E. Travis, supervisor or air-
ports for the CAA at Fort Worth,
Tex., said bids on construction
work were expected to be called
soon.
Travis said plans are being com-
pleted at the U. S. engineer’s
office at Tulsa for the three fields.
They will cost, he said, approxi-
mately $380,000 each.
A plant that will employe ap-
proximately 225 workers to manu-
facture airplane parts is scheduled
to be built by Stearman Aviation
Inc., at Enid. The plant will make
plane parts until the emergency
is over. A $100,000 charter for the
plant was issued by tlie Oklahoma
secretary of state.
Glenn Stearman, head of thq
company, said the plant will be-
gin production about Feb. 15 anij
at peak capacity will employ 225
workers on three shifts. He said
the firm already has enough con-
tracts to assure work for at least
a year.
