He has more late news. New York, the latest Singapore communique is broadcast by the London Radio, says British fighters are strafing enemy troops in the Malay Peninsula. Along K-Daw, the British radio says the Royal Air Force has successfully harassed enemy troops and communications. And British fighters drove all three attempts by Japanese planes to raid
Penang. In Burma, waves of British fighter planes roar over land, goom at every alert, but the Burmese capital has not yet been bombed according to London Radio, third in New York for the NBC listening post. London and Anglo-Russian Conference will open in Moscow soon to coordinate the work of the two general staffs. It may clear the way for a joint plan of strategy
by all anti-access powers, including the United States, for offensive as well as deep. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jack Benny talking. And before our program begins, I'd like to say a word or two about defense bonds. You know, right now we're all partners. You and and the family next door.
And we've all got a job to do. A job that's going to require a lot of money. And that money must come from you and me and all of us. So let's decide right now that we're going to put every possible dollar into defense bonds.
Every possible dime into defense stamps. Five bonds at your post office bank or savings and loan association. Get your defense stamps from your retail store or ask your news board to deliver them to your home every week.
Let's really do a job. Thank you. J.D. Calhelp. Oh! The Jello program brought to you by Jello and Jello Pudding, starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Wilson.
