____ ____ ____THE MICHIGAN- DAILY SUNDAY, I&- .-s- Michigan Has To Jap Attack Automobile Manufacturers Speed Defense Work, Reduce All Car Quotas (By The Associated Press). Through many channels, Michigan poured out a vigorous reply this week to the challenge of a Japanese at- tack upon the nation's Pacific pos- sessions. Automotive manufacturers pledged willing compliance with government curtailment of civilian production, indicated there would' be a complete, though temporary holiday in the manufacture of passenger cars under reduced quotas and devoted all their efforts to speeding up defense work. Public officials turned to the task of civilian defense organization and afinounced today ,at the end of the firstrweek of war, that Detroit was better prepared to protect its civil population than any other city in the United States with the possible ex- ception of New York. The pronounce- ment was that of Glenn C. Richards, head of Detroit's new municipal de- patinent of defense and Mayor Ed- ward Jeffries' right hand man in that field in the state's largest city. At the same time, Mr. Man-on-the- Street, his wife and relatives poured their savings into defense savings bonds. Unmarried sons and brothers and uncles dashed to recruiting offi- ces in record numbers, disregarding the order in which the draft would call eligibles. Tfie Michigan defense savings com- mittee reported today that sales of bonds and stamps throughout the state have doubled, and perhaps trip-' led; since the outbreak of hostilities last Sunday. The committee's report confirmed the earlier findings of an Associated Press survey. "Money is flocking to the colors jist as men are crowding the recruit- ing stations," said State Chairman Frank N. Isbey. "Uncle Sam need not have any fear as to how Michigan will respond - the answer is already given." j ( r/ County Group Will Organize Civilins Here Volunteer Defense *Office is Planned By Council For Local Armory You' won't even get the traditional dollar a year, but civilian volunteer work is "a job you can't evade if this country is to survive this emergency." With Civilian Defense Director La- Guardia's words symbolizing its cam- paign, the Waitenaw County De- fense Council will open volunteer reg- istration offices in the Fifth Avenue Armory as soon as their organization has been completed. The University has already been represented in the plan, according to Mrs. Theophile Raphael, chairman of the drive. Dean Alice Lloyd, head of the Universit-y women's defense committee, and Dr. Margaret Bell of the Health Service have been named to aid in organizing women for war- time work. . Besides a civilian morale finction, the program will train men. and wo- men in such fields as first aid, nutri- tion, and the more remote jobs of fire-fighting and communications maiitenance. One of the main points stressed by the council is the value of its pio- gram to a peace-time community. LaGuardia has called civilian defense activities "the same sort of things we have always done to protect our com- munities against disease, malnutrition and other social ills." Instructions as to the time and method of registration will soon be issued to interested groups and in- dividuals. Graduate Club To Hold TobogganParty Today Patience has been rewarded. Taking advantage of the season's first deep snw, the Graduate Out- ing Club Will hold the first of its long awaited tobogganing and sled- ding parties, today.

Americans In London Cheer War Declaration Against Nazis n A' The news of declaration of war between Germany and the United States brought cheers from this group of Americans serving with the armed forces in Britain. They are the American Eagle squadron's London club. This photo was sent by radio from London. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Guam.. (C )fltiflued from Page 1) attack on Pearl Harbor last Sunday. Six army fliers were cited for per- fcrrning spectacular feats of heroism in the face of superior numbers. One of the heroes. Second Lieut. George S. Welch of Wilmington, Del., accounted for four of the enemy planes after performing what the War Department proudly called "maneu- vers worthy of a veteran fighter." News Heartens Capital The news from Manila that Japa- nese troops which had gained a foot- hold at Lingayen, on the west coast of Luzon north of Manila, had been wiped out heartened the Capital, be- cause it is in that general area that strategists figure the Japanese must make their most menacing bid to smash the Philippines defenses. Though the Japanese hold other beach-heads on Luzon's west coast. the repulse at Lingayen was believed to have struck a hard blow at their generalstrategic plan. That the forces of Lieut. General Douglas MacArthur have spotted another element in this plan and are doing everything possi- ble to thwart it was indicated in a communique issued by the War De- partment. Japs Bomb Clark Field After asserting that the Japanese had bombed Clark Field, north of Manila, and Cebu. a city and island 300 miles southwest of Luzon, the communique added: "The enemy plan is now clearly re- vealed as an attempt to secure im- provised air bases outside of the area encompassed py our ground defenses." There was no official comment here on the latest Japanese claims that a total of three United States battle- ships were sunk in the raid on Hawaii last Sunday, or that the Japanese had captured, or all-but captured, Britain's crown colony of Hongkong off the south China coast. The Japanese, having previously boasted that the battleships Okla- homa and West Virginia had been sunk at Pearl Harbor, added the U.S.S. Arizona to that roster today. Officials here have acknowledged the loss of only one old battleship. Tacitly, the Japanese admitted that the embattled maries still held little Wake Island in the Pacific. (Continued from Page 1) quarters declared that the fall of Hongkong was imminent. The crown colony nestles on spraddling Kowloon Peninsula and a cluster, of islands just off the south China coast, the largest of which is the island of Hongkong. (Without any supporting an- nouncement at the time from official Japanese sources, the Japanese am- bassador to Argentina said Hongkong had been captured.) The Japanese claimed complete oc- cupation of Kowloon - apparently meaning both the peninsula and the city of Kowloon which lies across a narrow stretch of water from the is- land of Hongkong. They declared that Kowloon's "four miles-long and supposedlyim- pregnable defenses have been shatter- ed." Hongkong, second only to Singa- pore as a British Far Eastern naval base, was said to be under an in- cessant rain of Japanese bombs. (There was no direct word from Hongkong but London admitted the possibility that the colonial defense forces might have fallen back to pre- arranged positions.) The Japanese now say that the Ari- zona was sunk in the initial onslaught at Pearl Harbor last Sunday, along with the battleships Oklahoma and West Virginia. It took them nearly a week to claim the Arizona. 4 Litvino f Uses Slang To Pan Hitler, Nazis WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-P)-A judicious admixture of American slang was incorporated with precise English in the statement today by Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet ambassador, on Russia's position toward the war. He said': By Hitler's promises the Red Army should, six weeks ago, have been "washed out." A German defeat in Libya would not "settle his (Hitler's) hash." The Russians would "polish off" the Nazis on the Eastern Front. Correspondents should not, "get sore at me" if he didn't answer all questions. p. Tokyo... SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1941 VOL. LII.
