BREAK UP RAID ON CORREGIDOR

Defenders of Philippines Inflict Heavy Casualties

In Bataan Attacks.

WASHINGTON, March 28 (U. P.).—American artillery broke up an attempted new Japanese bombing attack on Corregidor island last night and inflicted numerous casualties on enemy forces on Bataan peninsula, the war department reported today. Japanese patrols “were particularly active” on Bataan, and our troops carried out “a successful night raid” there. . Japanese bombers were making little if any progress in their effort to soften up Corregidor and other fortifications in preparation of a big offensive.

Menace Japs in Mindanao

On the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, an American patrol punched its way to within twothirds of a mile of the Japaneseheld city of Zamboanga. There was some belief that Japanese are reinforcing their troops on that island. Corregidor was under almost continuous bombardment yesterday afternoon, the department reported, but military installations on the island suffered “practically no damage.” It was the fourth successive day that heavy enemy bombers had attacked the island fortress which dominates the entrance to Manila bay. Anti-aircraft fire forced the Japanese bombers to fly so high

Heavy Bomber Shot Down

The enemy attempted another bombing raid last night but their planes fled after being picked up by giant searchlights from Corregidor. One heavy enemy bomber was shot down by anti-aircraft fire. This brought to eight the number of bombers brought down by Corregidor’s guns this week. At least 25 Jap bombers have been shot down over Corregidor since Dec. 29. The continued air assaults on Corregidor and patrol activity on Bataan bore out belief that the Japanese war machine is embarked | on a desperate campaign to gain swift control of Manila bay and thus ease its over-stretched communication lines into the southwest Pacific.

FIRST LADY BLAMES VETERANS OF WAR |

WELLESLEY, Mass., March 28 (U. P.) —Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt be-) lieves World War II resulted from] the failure of World War I veterans to meet community responsibilities. | Addressing representatives of 18] eastern colleges at Wellesley college! last night, she said: “I believe that what happened after the last war was responsible for the war we are fighting today, because the boys in the last war lost touch with their own communities and came back without the actual feeling of obligation to carry on their thinking.” | She said the veterans grouped themselves “in blocs and into the Legion in their own interests.” “We cannot fight this war unless we know we are fighting for a changed world. We are fighting to answer questions which were set aside and which brought us to this war. We are fighting for a world in which we can have peace.”

PERILS OF DELAYED ACTION BOMB CITED

Two hundred air raid wardens, faced with the problem of training 30,000 wardens in the state, met last night to hear Russell Johann, educational director of the state fire marshal’s office, point to the de-layed-act“in bomb as the chief menace in the event of attack. | Mr. Johann spoke at the opening session of the American Legion's air raid instructors’ school, through which four wardens for each 500 persons in the state will be trained. “In some districts, the area in| which the delayed bomb has fal-| len can be fenced or roped off,” Johann said, “but in important dis-| tricts it will be necessary tc re-| move the bomb.” Mr. Johann also listed the prob- | lems checking drinking water to see| that it is pure. the care of aged and crippled, first aid, hospitalization and evacuation of homes. |

FOR TOWNSHIP RACES

Eayl Huffman, a state oil inspector, today was named director of township activities for the Republican county committee, a new office created by county chairman James Bradford for the coming campaign. His selection was announced at a meeting last night of 60 ward and township officials from outside the city. Mr. Bradford said the county committee would give every possible assistance to township leaders in electing strong tickets in the primary and general elections. County Commissioner William T. Ayres was principal speaker at the meeting, held in the Hotel Lincoln.

Sales Tax Support Grows

SENTIMENT for retail sales tax is gaining momentum in congress. Vote-conscious law-makers think it will bring less squawk than higher income taxes, broader income tax bases, even though it’s levied on food and clothing along with non-necessities. Joint husband-wife returns won't get far. Substitute plan, to take away special privilege of community property states where husband and wife can split income 50-50 regardless of who earns it, may get through house.

still were fighting strongly in the Toungoo sector where reinforcements reached them after counterattacks had recaptured the Kyungon airdrome north of Toungoo. The Japanese holding the airdrome were wiped out but enemy reinforcements arriving in that sector left the situation serious for the allies. On the allied right flank, the British fell back toward Prome to keep the east-west line straight and avoid Japanese flanking maneuvers, The allied forces, however, lacked air support and it was uncertain how long they could hold

Blow at Russia Hinted

In northern China, the Japanese were renewing air and attacks of the Chinese in the province of Shansi in what Chungking reported was an apparent prelude to a Japanese onslaught against Soviet Russia from bases in Manchukuo. The Chinese viewpoint was that the Japanese were attempting to clear their flank in the north to prepare for the blow against Russia, which would be designed to knock out Vladivostok as a submarine and air base that might be {used by the United States and the [Soviets against Japan in the fu- | ture. A Chinese military spokesman said | the Japanese had 33 divisions, or up | to 660,000 men, in Manchuria in ad{dition to a big air force, despite the fighting in the southwest Pacific area. | He suggested that the Japanese | might soon shift to the defensive in the southwest Pacific in favor of operations against Russia. Since mid-February, he said, the Japanese had twice attacked the Chinese in western Suiyuan province, north of Shansi and bordering {on Mongolia. The Chinese in Suiyuan might attack the Japanese rear if the Japanese tried to use the Peiping-Suiyuan railroad. The spokesman said that the Japanese also had attacked the Chinese in other northern areas including northern Honan, southern and western Shantung and Hopi province, trying to smash Chinese troop concentrations. Meanwhile on the desert sands of Libya an axis victory was claimed in a Rome broadcast heard in New York. The broadcast said advanced detachments operating in the Libyan desert region southwest of Tmimi captured ‘some dozens” of British prisoners during a night encounter. An allied merchant ship was re{ported hit and three enemy planes shot down in a German air raid lon Tobruk. British raids were reported at Martuba and Benghasi. German planes raided the British

¢ iisland of Malta, Rome said, sank

of ammunition and stores on Rybachi peninsula and behind their lines on the west bank of the Litsa river, 30 miles west of Murmansk. The first phase of the German attack, it was understood, was to have been the gaining of air superiority over Murmansk. It failed, because the Russians knocked down 13 of their planes in one day. Immediately, the Russians began their own offensive. They put out into the arctic in warships, Stockholm dispatches said, and under an umbrella of Stormovik bombers and British Hurricane fighter planes, tore into the rear of the German lines, catching the enemy by surprise, blowing up ammunition dumps and bridges and creating general havoc. They were said to have landed at several points between Petsamo, 60 miles west of Murmansk and the mouth of Litsa, and crossed the Litsa to get at the Germans, : Supply Task Difficult

If the Russians accomplished their objectives, observers here said, the German paratroops and Alpine soldiers concentrated for the attack on Murmansk were in a bad position. It is difficult to supply them, except by sea, and Russian submarines have been sinking German transports steadily in that area. The Russian communique last night did not mention fighting in the far north. It reported that the Germans, attempting to eliminate a Russian wedge in their lines on the Kalinin front, northwest of Moscow, had attacked with a motorized regiment, a crack SS division and 50 tanks. After a stubborn battle, the Germans retreated, having lost 2450 dead and an “enormous number” wounded. The SS division lost 900 of its 1400 men, the communique asserted, and 25 German tanks were destroyed. It said the Germans lost 15 planes Thursday against nine Russian aircraft lost, and that two planes were destroyed yesterday near Moscow.

‘I Shall Do My Duty,’ Says Wainwright, Head of Army in Philippines.

By FRANK HEWLETT United Press Staff Correspondent WITH GEN. WAINWRIGHT'S ARMY IN THE PHILIPPINES, March 26 (Delayed). —“I shall do my duty under all circumstances,” Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright, new commander in chief of the United States and Philippines army in Bataan, has told President Manuel Quezon. Gen. Wainwright gave his message to Quezon before the president, following Gen. Douglas Mac+ Arthur, broke threugh the Japanese sea and air blockade to reach Australia, “I have accepted the command of the Filipino and American forces

in the Philippines hoping that I

shall merit the confidence of your excellency and that I will receive the loyalty and unstinted co-opera-tion of the Filipino people which, under your patriotic leadership, was accorded to Gen. MacArthur,” -he said. “I Shall Do My Duty”

“Inspired by the noble cause for which we are fighting, particularly for the achievement of the freedom and happiness of the Filipino people, I shall do my duty under all circumstances.” President Quezon’s farewell message to the garrison promised these islands that they would soon be free. It was broadcast to the Philipe pines people, some, but by no means all, under Japanese domination. by the Voice of Freedom of the Philip pines-American radio. “To the soldiers and people of the Philippines,” Quezon said. “Gen. MacArthur has left our country to assume command of all allied forces in the south Pacific, including the Philippines.

“His appointment to this high post of wider and more vital ace tivity is undoubtedly due to the brilliance and gallantry of his leade ership in defense of the Philippines, “The assignment of Gen. MacArthur to command all the allied land, sea and air forces in our part of the world should bring renewed hope to every Filipino heart, for he himself has said that he accepted his new post in order primarily that he may reconquer the occupied areas of the Philippines. “I am confident that under his direction reinforcements in increas= ing quantities will reach the Philipe pines in the near future. “I share the undoubted faith of MacArthur in our final victory.”
