Java’s Defenders Girding
For Climactic Assault
By Japanese
BV ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Roosevelt’s pledge that
the united nations would take the
offensive soon aroused new hope
in hard pressed anti-axis lands
today as defenders of Java girded
for a climactic assault by Japan’s
sea-borne Invaders.
In the first official disclosure
that a sizeable vanguard was on
the scene of action, Mr. Roosevelt
declared that United States forces
in the far Pacific were steadily
growing and that “thousands of
American troops are today In that
area.”
London newspapers gave the
president’s speech an enthusiastic
endorsement with The Daily Sketch
commenting that Mr. Roosevelt
“gave the world a tremendous
message of confidence and cheer.”
“Like Irate Coach”
Axis reaction was typified by
Domei, official Japanese news
agency, which likened the address
to a "pep talk by an irate foot-
ball coach” and that “a notewor-
thy commentary was furnished by
the report that a Japanese war-
ship was shelling the American
mainland at about the same time
he was speaking from the White
House.”

military quarters said the Jap-

nearing its maximum power, and
that the invaders were throwing

miles from the vital Rangoon rail-

to Burma to stem the Japanese
onslaught.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 — Of)—
A United States destroyer and a
naval stores ship have been pound-
ed to pieces off the rocky east
coast of Newfoundland in a roar-
ing gale, the navy announced to-
day, with a loss of at least 189
officers and men.
Among the dead was Lieutenant
Commander Ralph Htckox, 38,
Washington D. C., who command-
ed the destroyer, the Truxtun, an
old four-stacker of World war
vintage The commander of the
stores ship, the Pollux, was not
identified, but the navy reported
him safe.
The heavy loss of life was attri-
buted to the fact that the two
ships, part of a convoy, were torn
to wreckage under the battering of
wind and wave quickly after they
ran aground.
The double disaster occurred in
daylight, but visibility was extreme-
ly low. The currents set up by the
dashing of the water against rocks
and reefs made the coast line
indistinct. The point at which the
ships went aground was described
as near the entrance to Lawrence
harbor, on which is located the
town of St. Lawrence, Newfound-
land.
Heroic Efforts Praised
The navy praised residents for
their heroic efforts in pulling sur-
vivors through the icy, storm-
itossed seas to safety.
The certain dead aboard the
Truxtun were placed at seven of-
ficers and 90 - men, and there was
a possibility that three more deaths
would be confirmed later, the navy
said.
Tile Truxtun broke up almost
immediately after running aground
and shortly afterwards tlie same
thing happened to the Pollux, tne
navy said.
Loss of life was heavy on both
ships, the navy added, because or
the "extremely difficult” surf,
whipped up by the howling North
Atlantic gale and the bitiernes.,
of the winter weather.
Attempts were made by the
crews of the vessel to swing lines
ashore but they failed because the
lines became oil soaked and were
almost Impossible to handle.
El Reno Indians Take Last Bows On
Their Home Basketball Stage Tonight
Capitol Hill Redskins May Have Much To Say About
Kind of Show Which Unfolds Before Final Curtain Drops
El Reno's Indians will try to
put on their best show of the
season tonight, for they’ll be tak-
ing their last bows on their own
stage until next year’s production
is presented some nine months
hence.
It's possible, though unlikely,
that El Reno may be chosen as
the site of a regional tournament,
but to all intents and purposes
the curtain will fall tonight In
the Tribal tepee not to be raised
again until next season.
The Capitol Hill Redskins will
have quite a bit to say about the
kind of show that Is staged to-
night.
Potent, always dangerous against
any foe. the Redskins will invade
the El Reno cage for a non-con-
ference clash starting at 8 p. m.
B squads of the two schools will
warm up the place starting at 6:30
p. m.
El Reno opened Its season this
year by edging the Redskins 25-21
in a nlp-and-tuck battle last Dec
18 at Capitol Hill. Since then the
Redskins have Improved at least
comparably with the Indians.
Greatest threat to the Tribe’s
hopes for a successful finale will
be Capitol Hill’s deadly accuracy
at the foul line, where the In-
dians have been woefully weak
this year. The Redskins made 15
free throws last Friday night, out
of 20 chances, while the Indians
were making only 6 out of 12.
But Coach Jenks Simmons’
cagers will wade into battle to-
night confident that they can out-
hustle and out-shoot anything
short of a dive bomber. Because
even in defeat Friday night they
looked good, simply by out-fighting
even If not out-shooting the most
powerful opponent they’ve met this
year, Oklahoma City Central.
Probable El Reno starters will
be Zennon Gill, cagy little captain
who had his off night last Friday

and should be back in step tonight;
Clifford Golden, husky forward
who was right last Friday and
should be again tonight; Norman
Sybert, lanky sophomore center
who demonstrated Friday night the
promise that he has been giving
all season; Reese Thompson and
Everett Sweezey, dependable guards
who always can be counted on to
carry their share of the burden.
The Indians will go to Okla-
homa City Thursday night for a
return match with the Central
Cardinals. If the Cards were play-
ing over their heads here last
week and are back down to normal
this week, they may have their

The communique said damage
from the submarine was slight,
with no casualties. The submarine,
apparently Japanese, fired 25 rounds
of 5-lnch shells at the refinery,
the department said.

today that he definitely will enter

Busby said he would campaign
for the senate nomination on a
pledge to "break up labor rack-

“I am in favor of organized
