Copyriirnu WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 Senator Tydings in the Senate today declared that Japan was at present “winning the war” with large-scale offensive operations. Mr Tydings proposed that the United States take a chance on sending a heavily escorted convoy of troops to reinforce General MacArthur in the Philippines or the British defending Singapore. “Unless we are ready to take a chance, and you cannot win battles if you are unwilling to take a chance, we are unworthy of defending this democracy,” he declared. LONGER WORKING WEEK NECESSITY IN AMERICA DEPARTMENTS EXTEND HOURS (United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copj r rlg-tit) WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 President Roosevelt has disclosed that Federal agents have been informed that it was imperative to increase manpower defence work by extending the working-week hours. The department executives had received advice which noted that practically all Government department services had lengthened the work-ing-week voluntarily from 39 to 44 hours. Mr Roosevelt said it was necessary to capitalise on this increase of hours, since it releases experienced employees for war work and helps to relieve the shortage in housing for individuals and Government offices in Washington. He emphasised that excess personnel must be effectively directed into defence jobs and pointed out that it was a Congressional function as to which, if any, Government agencies were to be curtailed and which were considered not essential.
