BREST POPULATION
IS GIVEN NOTICE
VICHY. Apr. 10 —</P>— German
I authorities notified the population
of the coast city of Brest on the
I English channel today to be ready
for a proclamation of a state of
I siege without advance notice.
The state of siege would be pro-
I claimed because of “the existence
of elements which might, when the
moment appeared favorable, permit
themselves to engage In manifes-
tations which could have unpre-
dictable repercussions," the Ger-
man notice said.
The tenor of the German an-
nouncement indicated it was con-
cerned with subversive activities
among the French population of
the German-occupied city rather
than in preparation for meeting a
possible invasion attempt by allied
forces.

LEGISLATION 10
LENGTHEN IRK
WEEK EXPECTED
Increased Public Demand
Forecast By Leaders
In Congress
WASHINGTON, Apr. lot—<U.fi>—
The capital had its own side show
to the war today—fisticuffs be-
tween Secretary of Commerce
Jesse Jones and Eugene Meyer,
publisher of The Washington Past.
The secretary, it was reported,
didn't like an editorial published j
in the Post blaming him for the
country's lack of synthetic rubber
facilities.
Apparently no blows were land-
ed although there were several
near-misses. The only damage ap-
peared to have been Meyer's glas-
ses and any sensitive ears there
may have been among the specta-
tors, who reportedly were treated
to an exchange of expletives high-
lighted by some of the better
Texas cass-words.
Among Those Present . . .
Tlie incident took place last
night at a banquet of the exclu-
sive Alfalfa club at the Willard
hotel. Those present included two
supreme court justices, several sen-
ators, a presidential secretary and
a goodly representation of other
capital blg-wigs.
One member of the audience,
w'ho reportedly was instrumental in
separating the Messrs. Jones and
Meyer, refused to be quoted by
name but said: “I wouldn’t say it
was easy" to separate them.
Accounts Vary
“One was a little bit.” he said
when asked if either was mussed
up.
How long did it lost?
"I don’t know,” he replied, "but
you know how it is when such
things happen—seconds seem like
minutes."
He characterized as "a lot of i
hokum" a report that Meyer swung i
but missed. But other eye-witnesses
admitted there had been some
misses.
“I didn’t have my smeller on,"
he quipped when he was asked if
any blood had been spilled.
WASHINGTON. Apr. lo—(i<P)—
Increased public pressure for legis-
lation to lengthen the work week,
slash production profits and elim-
inate extravagance and waste in
war effort was forecast today by
congressional leaders gauging do-
mestic reaction to the military de-
feat on Bataan.
Almost without exception, in-
formed legislators foresaw mount-
ing public irritation against any
obstruction to the production pro-
gram—an attitude one veteran
senator could be attributed to the
general feeling that while the
people should not interfere in mil-
itary strategy, they had a prime
responsibility for all-out produc-
tion.
Major Sacrifices Foreseen
Senator Walter F. George (Dem-
ocrat, Georgia) said he believed
Americans on the home front feel
it Is time for major sacrifices.
"In my judgment,” George told
reporters, “the American people
are in a frame of mind where
they are not going to tolerate any-
thing more than the most reason-
able wages or profits. They are
going to demand that everybody
work a full 48-hour week at reg-
ular pay, that profits be held to
a minimum and waste and Inef-
ficiency be eliminated.”
Others Express Views
Senator Claude Pepper (Demo-
crat, Florida) said the loss of
Bataan to the Japanese ought to
remove any impediment that has
existed to the full mobilization of
the country’s manpower and re-
sources in tfte war effort.
Senator Josh Lee (Democrat,
Oklahoma), who has joined with
Pepper In demanding the enact-
ment of legislation suspending the
40-hour week, said he believed
there was a growing sentiment also
for a no-profit system of war
production.

Registration Of
Women Is Seen
WASHINGTON, Apr. 10—(/P) —
President Roosevelt disclosed that
in connection with studies for mob-
ilization of manpower for war in-
dustries, the government was con-
sidering voluntary registration for
all women 18 to 65 years old.
Probably within a week, Mr.
Roosevelt asserted, some decision
will be reached on how to go about
channeling manpower into war Jobs.
One difficulty in registering wo-
men. he asserted, is inherent in the
number of persons who would come
forward to enrol. This would create
mechanical difficulties, he said, re-
marking the preparation of cards
alone would be a tremendous task.
He said there had been talk of a
voluntary registration of women In
the next registration for men up to
to on Apr. 27. If it is decided to
register women, a’ date will be set
later on.
Fine Ordered On
Substitute Charge
Pleading guilty on a substitute
charge of housebreaking, Edwin
Floyd Meyer, 32. of Moreland, was
ordered to pay a fine of $100 and
costs and was given a suspended
sentence of 30 days in jail when
he was arraigned before Judge
Baker H. Melone in Canadian
county court Thursday.
BENI ONREVENGE
‘Only Limitation’ Termed
Lack of Equipment
GENERAL M’ARTHURS HEAD-
QUARTERS, Australia, Apr. 10—
(U.R)—Lieutenant General George
H. Brett, In an Interview which
emphasized American determina-
tion to avenge Bataan to the limit,
said today that the Americans had
taken the offensive against Japan
in the air and would continue it
on an ever increasing scale.
"Our only limitation is equip-
ment,” he said.
Brett, deputy supreme united
nations commander, said the allied
air forces were holding the enemy
in the New Guinea-Timor Invasion
zones while the allies gained In-
valuable time for offensive action
on a mass scale.
“Planes and equipment are flow-
ing here at an ever-increasing
rate.” Brett said. “With the equip-
ment and machines we already
have at hand we are laying the
foundation for air war against the
Japanese.
"Wlille we are laying that found-
ation we are doing our best to
hold the Japanese where they are
north of Aastralla."
Tlie allies might not yet, he
said, be in position to drive the
Japanese from New Guinea and
Timor.
But the results so far achieved,
he said, were most satisfactory
considering that the United States
air forces In Australia still were
formative stage.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oorregidor’s big guns still blazed
defiance In Manila bay today and
Japanese reported at 6:50 a. m.
(Eastern war time) that hostilities
were continuing on Bataan penin-
sula Itself despite previous asser-
tions that Lieutenant General Jon-
athan Wainwright’s heroic defend-
ers had begged for a truce.
A war department bulletin re-
ported American torpedo boats sank
a Jap cruiser off Sebu in the
central Philippines but that fight-
ing on Bataan peninsula apparent-
ly had ceased. The communique
said General Wainwrlght reported
this morning all communications
between Bataan and Corregidor
had been cut off for nearly 24
hours.
“General Wainwrlght declared
that our flag still files on the
beleaguered Island fortress of Cor-
regldor,” the war department add-
ed.
The cruiser sunk was one of an
armada of five warships and 10
transports landing troops In Sebu.
Japs Pressing Forward
The Japanese news agency said
Japanese vanguards were pressing
forward against American and Fili-
pino pasitions on the peninsula
and captured the towns of Limay
and Lamao on the east coast,
capturing several thousand prison-
ers.
At his united nations headquar-
ters In Australia. General Douglss
MacArthur, the hero of Bataan’s
first successful defense, comment-
ed:
“The Bataan force went out as
it would have wished—fighting to
the end of its flickering, forlorn
hope.
“No army ever has done so much
with so little.”
Earthquake Reported
An added shock to the American
and Filipino soldiers, Japanese dis-
patches said, was a violent earth-
quake which rocked the whole
peninsula during the final stages
of the battle, collapsing Filipino
huts and starting landslides.
Coincident with news that Gen-
eral Wainwright’s men still bat-
tled grimly on—24 hours after the
war department in Washington
conceded the probability they had
been overcome — Japan claimed
heavy new blows against British
seapower in the Indian ocean.
Tokyo asserted that Japanese
naval and air forces yesterday sank
the 10.580-ton British aircraft car-
rier Hermes, two cruisers, a de-
stroyer, a patrol vessel and six
other ships In an attack off Tri-
comalee, a big British naval sta-
tion on Ceylon, just off the south-
ern tip of India.
Tokyo’s Claim Disputed
In London, the admiralty ac-
knowledged that the aircraft car-
rier Hermes had been sunk in an
aerial attack 10 miles off Ceylon
but declared . that the Japanese
claim of having sunk two addi-
tional cruisers “Is known to be
quite untrue."
In the battle for the approaches
to Australia. Japanese bombers
raided Port Moresby for the 24th
time and Tokyo headquarters re-
ported that Japanese troops had
occupied British-owned Christmas
Island. 225 miles south of Java,
strategically Important as another
base for Japanese attacks on the
sea lanes between Australia and
India.
SULPHUR SPRINGS, Tex., Apr.
10—(U.P.)—Bataan's bloody sacrifice
was not in vain; America now is
“more than filling’’ the president’s
quota of planes and tanks and guns,
Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn
assured the nation today.
“Tlie president called for 60,000
j planes in 1942, which would Include
45,000 combat planes,” Rayburn told
\ a rally here. "Present production
J rates indicate 125,000 planes In 1943
| (which the president required). Of
; this total 100,000 will be combat
planes.
"We have every confidence that
this schedule not only will be met
but exceeded.
"The president called for 45,000
tanks in 1942, and 75.000 in 1943.
We now are ahead of the 1942 sched-
j ule and the prospects for 1943 are
very encouraging.”
3,300 Planes Monthly
He told a cheering crowd that
| present plane production is 3,300 a
month and that “I can say. without
| divulging military secrets, that one
factory alone is turning out each
day a trainload of tanks.”
"The schedule calls for 20,000 anti-
aircraft guns," he said. “This also is
being met.
"Tlie president said we must build
8,000,000 deadweight tons of ship-
ping as compared with 1,000,000
tons last year.
"That schedule undoubtedly will
be met by summer or early fall and
probably will be exceeded by several
million tons before the year ends.
At present a ship a day is going into
the water but by next summer or
early fall I confidently predict that
! two ships a day will be launched."
Daily Reminders Proposed
"Let the speaker of the house each
day place on the wall behind his
chair where Old Glory's furls are
draped a fresh list of dead heroes of
America killed in battle and never
fully supported by our country’s ef-
forts,” he said.
"Let the president of the United
States face at ills desk that roll of
the dead every working minute of
Ills day."
Pour months after Pearl Harbor
the United States and its allies “can
build two and one-half times as
many planes as all our enemies put j i \init))ii IdOW
together," said Rayburn, and tilts vUIUIIUllCC& ildlllCU
nation has ’’more than six times
as many soldiers on world wide
fighting fronts as General Pershing
tjad with the A. E. F. after 10 months
of the first World war.”
