War In the Far East
Planes Blast Jap Landing Force in Bali
Batavia, Feb. 20 —(UP)—American airplanes including flying fortresses blasted Japanese landing forces on the Island of Bali, a communique said today, damaging three enemy cruisers, two transports, and at least two destroyers and destroying four Japanese planes.
The Japanese landing forces on the island, which lies only a mile east of the main allied East Indies base of Java, were understood to be in considerable force, and fighting was in progress.
The situation appeared to be serious for the Dutch defenders, despite the first dive-bombing attacks of American planes in the East Indies. The dive bombers hit a Japanese transport and a cruiser resulting in heavy casualties to the enemy.
American ground troops in Java are comparatively few. There are also some other foreign troops, including Australians, here to aid in defense of the island.
American liberator bombers and fleet of pursuit planes supported lying fortresses in the attack on the Japanese invasion fleet off the outeastern coast of Bali.
The Americans did not lose a single plane.
Ona flying fortress dropped eight bund bombs around one of the enemy destroyers and the crews aid it rose up from the water andame down in pieces.
Three liberator planes shot down two of the four planes which the enemy lost. These two were part of a formation of nine which attacked the liberators.
The dive bombers' hit on the Japanese transport was made with a 10-pound bomb. Their hit on the cruiser was at the warships' stern. Well informed sources admitted that the Japanese had won a foot-oold in Bali, only 140 miles from Boerabaa, the great naval and air force base of the Netherlands East indies.

'U.S. To Win By Aerial Supremacy'
Washington, Feb. 20 —(UP)— Maj. Gen. Carl Spaatz, commander of the U. S. Army's air combat forces, said today the United States intends to win unquestioned aerial supremacy on all fronts and then wage "devastating warfare" on the Axis at every turn.
The recently appointed 50-yearold head of the air fighting arm made the statement in a "war message to the air forces."
The war thus far has proved conclusively that aerial power is essential to the success of either offensive or defensive action, he said.
"The declaration of war by the Congress of the United States on Dec. 8 was a ringing warning to the world that the army air forces in cooperation with our great aircraft industry would strive for aerial supremacy in every theater of operations," he said. "Our Commander-in-Chief promised that no matter where the enemy was found devastating warfare, particularly in the air, would be brought to him. We of the army air forces are determined to attain this objective—we shall attain it."
Spaatz was recently given command of combat forces succeeding Lieut. Gen. Delos C. Emmons, who was placed in charge of all army activities in Hawaii after the Pearl Harbor disaster. He is a World War flier and former chief of the air staff of the U. S. Army air forces. He is directing the fighting end of the huge new army air program, which visualizes a 2,000,000-man air corps and production of 185,000 planes during the next two years.
A former University student, William C. Lunt of Kansas City, Mo., is now an aviation cadet at Randolph Field, Texas.
Japanese Bend Chinese Line In South Burma
Calcutta, Feb. 20 —(UP)— A battle of show-down ferocity see-sawed along the Bilin river of Burma today with the Japanese hurling possibly two divisions of 30,000 men at a defense line which had been bent back toward the Burma road.
The Japanese had crossed the river and were hammering at the imperial right flank in an effort to envelop and smash the entire line. Enemy Kent Busy
At one point, at least, the Japanese were between the town of Bilin and the railroad town of Kyaiak-To, only 25 miles west of the Rangoon-Mandalay railroad portion of the Burma road.
SPORTIN' AROUND--the Navy. . . . They are Ed Hall, Carl Nordstrom, and Carl Jessup. . . Five members of the Iowa State basketball team registered for the draft while in Lawrence Monday (Captain Ai Budolson, Carol Schneider, Reuben Mickelson, Leon Uknes, and Harle Damon) . . . Ralph Houk, former Lawrence High and Ban Johnson baseball star, has been added to the roster of the Kansas City Blues. Houk, a catcher, talked to "Phoq" Allen's baseball class last week. . . . Maurice Cannady, former Junior High coach and Jayhawk athlete, is now director of the Physical Fitness program at Fairfax field in Kansas City. . . . He was stationed there from Norfolk, Va., where the other three Hill athletes will gō in March. . . . Francis Kappleman, former Jayhawk baseball and basketball star, was turned down by Tunney because of color-blindness. . . . In the same breath he was called by the San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League to report soon for spring training practice, preparatory to his trial with the Pacific Coast League baseball team. . . Brother Lester Kappleman was also turned down because of color-blindness.
A communique broadcast by the Rangoon radio said counter-attacks from the imperial middle sector were keeping the enemy at bay but that "fighting is continuing fiercely."
An official spokesman in Chungking said the Chinese refuse to concede that the battle of Burma is lost and have started operations to relieve the pressure on the defense lines in the south.
Striking from northern Burma, the Chinese were pursuing defeated Thai forces toward Chiengmai, Thailand, 80 miles from the border.
Pursue Thai Forces
Rangoon gave no details of the fighting to the north, some 175 miles from the Bilin front, but the battle in southern Burma was raging at a high cost to both sides.
Air-Arms Active
Steave Meade was another who tried to get into Tunney's group but failed. . . An excess of 20 pounds was the difficulty. . . Monte Merkel, who has performed off and on for Jayhawk baseball teams, is scholastically ineligible this spring. . . Two members of the Wichita North High School championship football squad, Jack Bottins and Bill Jamison, are reported to have enrolled at Oklahoma—not University—but Aggies at Stillwater. . . Those two were a part of the group of 10 or so that made the "famous" goodwill tour to Norman without "any knowledge" of it to Sooner officials. . . "Phog" Allen is in receipt of a letter from Don Faurot, director of athletics at Missouri, in which the latter stated that it would be possible to house the Kansas baseball squad in fraternities on the Tiger campus. If this same procedure were followed here, placing one player to a fraternity, it would cut down expenses greatly, provide a hardship on no one. . . Don Ebling, member of the 1940 N.C.A.A. finalists, mude the second all-star team in the Kansas City Naismith League Wednesday night. . . John Jacobs, Oklahoma U.S. track coach, has a perfect description of Nebraska's treatment of visiting track teams: "They get you up there in their new indoor plant, lock all the doors, and then beat hell out of you."

(American Volunteer Group) were bombing enemy concentrations and troops in the line; "The enemy is being given little respite."
Japanese attempts to cross the Bilin at its mouth, on the coast of the Gulf of Martaban, were beaten back. Ground attacks on the right flank (northern end) of the defense line likewise failed.
The Japanese break-through occurred north of the river mouth, and the situation in that area appeared to be changing hourly.
