THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Crushed Between Locomotives, Lives JAPS REPULSED X CZ LARP INBATAAN AGAIN
M’Arthur’s Forces Continue To Hold in Constant Day And Night Battle.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (U.P).— American and Filipino troops, who are being aided by a battalion of U. S. Marines and Bluejackets, have
“sharply repulsed” renewed Japanese attacks along the west coast of Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines, it was announced today. Striking back against relentless Japanese efforts to drive his forces from the Island of Luzon and back upon Fort Corregidor in Manila Bay, | Gen. Douglas MacArthur was said in a war communique to be mopping up “tattered remnants” of crack Japanese troops in the junglelike regions of lower Bataan. The War Department communique, indicating a constant day-and-night battle on Bataan, reported that the main Japanese blows were being directed against Gen. MacArthur’s left flank — near the west coast where repeated enemy landing attempts have been shattered by shellfire and aerial bombings. The communique, citing a “delayed report,” said that seven huge U. S. Army flying fortresses attacking Japanese shipping Monday in the Dutch Borneo oil port of Balik Papan sank two and probably three enemy transports. Prisoners “Amazed” These sinkings, it was added, were believed to be those reported Tuesday in a communique of Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, supreme commander of the United forces in the Far East. The War Department said that Japanese prisoners expressed ‘great surprise” at their humane treatment at the hands of Gen. Mae-

for prompt action
Arthur's men, as they had been told that the Americans would kill all prisoners. The American and Filipino defenders were heartened and bolstered by the aid of the Marines and sailors and a torpedo boat's attack on a Japanese warship in Manila Bay. A swift, 77-foot torpedo boat of Admiral Thomas C. Hart's Asiatic fleet is “believed” to have torpedoed and damaged a Japanese warship which may have slipped past Corregidor’s guns and into Manila Bay at nighttime in emulation of Admiral Dewey's feat of 44 years ago.
U. S. Tanker Sunk
The Navy also reported that the 5400-ton U. S. naval tanker Neches, built 23 years ago, had been torpedoed and sunk by an enemy submarine with the probable loss of 56 men. The Navy, without revealing where the tanker went down, sald 126 members of the crew had reached port safely. The Navy's communique tersely reporting the arrival of the Marines and Bluejackets in the Bataan fighting lines, said the battalion “has been organized and is fighting on Bataan Peninsula with Gen. MacArthur's command.” It was understood that the sailors and marines were men of the U. S. naval forces which remained in the Philippines after abandoning Cavite naval base across Manila Bay from Bataan Peninsula and Fort Corregidor.
