On Monday the war department announced that since Jan. I the | V. N army air forces had destroy-1 ed is Japanese plane* l.t bombers and 15 fighters in the sast Indies fighting. Military officials, attempting to explain the earlier calm on the Bataan front, said that Gen. Mac Arthur's resistance may have forced a shakeup among the Japanese commander* opposing him.

"A look al the map will show you how Homma's prestige must have suffered during the past two weeks, as the other Japanese commanders passed him by and carried their Invasion s|M-aihe.ids l,s*Ht or 2.000 miles further south Into the Dutch East Indies. "We may find that thia present lull in the Philippines mean* a reorga dilution of Ja|*an's combat forces under new commanders and that, when thia is completed, the heat will Im- on again.” For the (>ast three days MacArthur's reports to the war department have told of steadily diminishing enemy activity after sharp land and air attacks on Naturday which were regarded try some observers as a "windup" for an allout enemy assault. On Munday the Japanese eased off their attacks to "frequent air raids" and Intermittent duels Iretween their concealed Iratterles around Cavite on Manila Hay's southeast shore and the guns of American forts at the entrance ol
