IN PHILIPPINES

Lost Thousands of Men, At Least 20 Ships and 194 Aircraft.

WASHINGTON, May 7 (U. P.)—.

A review of sketchy army a navy communiques oe five= _ month battle of the Uae showed today that the Japanese paid ' a heavy toll—at least 20 ships, 194 . alreraft and unknown thousands of men, It is obvious that these figures are far from complete. They are based on admittedly conservative army and navy releases, and leave out of account many other casualties in material probably suffered by ~ the Japanese. Besides the 20 ships known to have been destroyed, 13 others are . listed as damaged, many of them probably left in a sinking condition. The hazardous hit-and-run attacks by American planes, ships and submarines probably did much damage that could not be observed. Location Not Always Given

sinkings were referred to as merely “in the Far East” and some undoubtedly were in Japanese waters. Other transports and warships were sent to the bottom while en route to the Philippines, and were not listed as Philippine sinkings, Here are the known figures on Japanese ship casualties in the Philippines: Transports, seven sunk, eight damaged; battleships, one sunk, two damaged; destroyers, one sunk; cruisers, two' sunk, ‘one damaged; tankers, two sunk; motor launches, ee sunk; freighters, two suuk;| ed-vessels not otherwise idened, one sunk and one damaged; dentified, one sunk and one

Casualties Known High The total of 194 aircraft known to have been shot down is also far below the actual. The number of planes mentioned in army and navy communiques up to Feb. 10, for example, was only 55, but on that date the war department issued a recapitulation of Japanese plane losses listing 163 shot down. Since Feb. 10, the anti-aircraft batteries of Corregidor and Bataan and the small American air force accounted for at least 31 planes, divided into these classes: Bombers, 22; fighters, 6, and amphibians, * geaplanes and unspecified, one each. ~The army and navy made few attempts during the campaign to list casualties of Japanese soldiers. Only three times did army communiques name. actual figures—700 one time, 110 another, and 11 in another communique. When several transports were sunk in Subic bay during the battle of Bataan, the army said only that “several thousand” Japanese were certain to have been casualties.

SCHULTE ALONE LOSES IN STATE

11 Other Congreso ‘Win ~~Salem Man in South

America Victor,

BY UNITED PRESS As the smoke of the Indiana primary congressional election cleared today, all but ope of the 12 incumbent congressmen emerged easy winners. Lone casualty on the incumbent list was Rep. William T. Schulte of Hammond, who lest the Democratic nomination te Ray J. Madden of Gary by a decisive official vete of 18,096 to 12,724. Mr. Madden gained steadily throughout the tabulating and it became apparent long before the count was complete that the labor vote which Had been expeeted to put Mr. Schulte over had net turned out in sufficient velume to stem the well-organized opposition forces,

Grant Is Easy Winner .

Five Republican congressmen and one Democratic congressman were unopposed and in many counties Poe: names were not even placed on the ballots. In districts other than the 1st, incumbents who were opposed swamped their opposition by spectacular margins. In the third Rep. Robert A. Grant, South Bend Republican, walked away from his primary opponent, Herman W. Voges of Elkhart, with a score of 20,174 to 1787, while a G. O. P. colleague, Rep. Forest Harness, Kokomo, won an eagy victory in the fifth by amass. ing more than 8 to 1 superiority. Republican incumhent Noble J. Johnson of Terre Haute won his 6th district nomination, even bhefore his home county was counted by better than 5 te 1. John W, Boghne Jr, of Evansville, Democratic representative from the 8th district, duplicated the performances of other incumbents by more than doubling the total votes received by his twe opponents, Ben F, Garland of Huntington and Raymond Ashby of Evansville. Unopposed Republican eongressmen were Charles A. Halleck, Rensselaer, second; George Gillie, Ft. Wayne, fourth; Gerald Landis, Linton, seventh; Earl Wilson, Huron, ninth, and Raymond 8. Springer, Connersville, 10th. Democratic Rep. William H. Larrabee of New Pales-~ tine was unopposed for 10th district Democratic nomination. Topping other contests in interest was the ninth district Democratic race, in which Roy Huckleberry of Salem conducted a campaign by proxy while working on a defense construction job in South America to win the nomination from J. Ralph Thompson of Seymour, party choice for the November ticket.

Holt Defeated

State Democratic leaders breathed a sigh of relief when Edward OC. Hays of Marion pulled well ahead of Olin R. Holt of Kokomo to win the fifth district nomination. Mr. Hays was entered in the race at the last minute to oppose Holt because party groups feared two federal prison sentences against Holt would impair his strength in the fall election, In a poor show eof interest, first district Republicans nominated Samuel W. Cullison of Gary to run against Mr. Madden, He needed only 3,951 votes to win over five others. D. Emmett Ferguson of Lafayette won . the 2d district Demoeratic nomination over James O. Cox of

6175 to 5882, gnd Lewis J. Murphy of South Bend won the Democratic nomination in the 3d from John S. Gonas of South Bend by a comfortable 5000 votes. : Samuel Cleland, Ft. Wayne Democrat, won the 4th district nomination easily over Thomas P. Riddle of Ray while Floyd I. MeMurray of Thorntown clinched the 6th district Democratic nod. In the 8th Republican primary Charles M. LaFollette appeared a sure-fire winner over Thomas C. House, also of Evansville. Dr. O. A. Noland of Bloomington won a elose Democratic eontest in the Tth by beating out Donald A. Rogers, and Floyd F. Cook, both of Bloomington, and D. Frank Culbert-

son, Vincennes, in a close vote.
