The British communique indicated that the Japanese either have by-passed Ipoh or captured the center. In any event it seemed that Ipoh must be regarded as lost. That placed the Japanese south of a strong natural barrier, the Perak River, and on a good railroad and ghway which runs straight the Malaya Peninsula to Singapore.

Demands for retaliatory bombing of Japanese cities swept Manila's population tonight after the first bombless day since Christmas Eve. The Japanese concentrated today's air attack on the Corregidor fortress—known as the Gibraltar of the Philippines—that lies about 30 miles from Manila in the center of the wide entrance to the bay.

whether the attack was preparatory to an attempted invasion by sea of the Manila area.) A correspondent of the Manila Herald relayed an entirely unconfirmed report that 12 Japanese transports had been sunk by Dutch airplanes while attempting to land reinforcements at Davao, on Mindanao Island. The report was not substantiated by other reports received here. Hope that American bombers can strike at Tokyo and other Japanese cities in retaliation was expressed by all sections of the Manila population. Morale continued high. Inspection of the water front showed that two coastwise vessels in the Pasig and buildings near a ship builder's plant and a ship in Manila Bay as well as some piers had been hit by bombs. Pier seven—said to be the longest covered pier in the world—was not demaged.

“The people of the United States will never forget what the people of the Philippine Islands are doing this day and will do in the days to come,” the President's radio message said. “I give to the people of the Philippines my solemn pledge that their freedom will be redeemed and their independence established and protected.

“The entire resources, in men and in material, of the United States stand behind that pledge. “It is not for me or for the people of this country to tell you where your duty lies. We are engaged in a great and common cause. I count

Sayre Expresses Hope

A short time before the President's call for courage, the Filipinos had received another message of hope from the U. 8S. High Commissioner in Manila, Francis B: Sayre. “Help is coming—help of such magnitude that it will drive the Japanese from the Philippines,” Mr. Sayre said. Competent Washington quarters revealed that precautionary plans have been made to set up the Philippine Commonwealth government in Washington if the main island of Luzon should be lost. A Filipino Government in exile in Washington, headed by President Manuel Quezon could rally resist ence of hard-fighting Filipino guerillas behind the invader lines. Unofficial quarters stressed that the outcome of the seige of the Philippines depends, above increased air power for Gen. MacArthur's defending forces and there was speculation that this may have been taken up at Sunday's council of war at the White House.

War Moves Today

BY LOUIS PF XEEMLE United Press War Analyst

The British raid on the Norwegian coast, described in a London announcement today, has an importance beyond the material results achieved The British apparently are feeling out the German defenses on the European coast, firstly to keep advised of German dispositions as a precaution against an attempt to invade the isles, and secondly in preparation for what the British regard as the

“Commandos,” small hit-and-run

other occupied coasts. This raid was a well-organized and skillfully executed expedition in which the land, sea and air forces worked in close co-operation. It is not unlikely that the British are practicing and getting experience for the time when a general attack will be possible. Best-informed opinion is that such an attack is not probable for some time to come. It is notable that talk of a second front, which was so general and insistent when Russia seemed in grave danger of being overwhelmed, now has died down entirely. No one in Britain is so deluded as to think that because the great German army is in retreat in Russia and the legend of its invincibility

force has lost its power. Winter conditions in Russia simply proved too much for them.

Moreover, Prime Minister Churchill told Congress not that a general offensive is in prospect now, but that the allies will be in much better shape by the end of 1942 and ready to go “all out” in 1943. The raid on Vaagsoe and Maaloy was impressive in the way it was carried out, and for the precision which the three fighting arms acted as units of a whole. It illustrates once more the increasing indispensibility of strong air support for modern military operations. In this instance, the landing was made under cover of a smoke screen laid down by the planes, while bombers immobilized enemy planes
