American Filipino Forces Are Exhausted
HEROIC COUNTER ATTACKS OF FWAINlNRICHT'5 FORCES
 VIRTUALLY CEASE, BELIEF

WASHINGTON, April 9-Overw heming Japanese forces in the Philippines, the War Department cOmmunique this morning. have made advances and indicated the prob aty that the defense of Bataan Peninsula has been come.
 This situation exists despite the heroic counter attack attempt by the physically exhausted defenders.
 Informed quarters here expressed the growing belief the stubborn resistance of the American Filipino troops held part of Bataan Peninsula early in Janu against all Japanese attacks, has virtually ceased
 Army also express doubt that the large numbers surviving troops could be evacuated under fire miles of open water between the southern tip of the fortress of C0rregidOr which is still held by the American forces.
 Such evacuation operation for the defeated forces these army noted would be nooriously of the most diff ficut of all actions.
 The army pointed to the last report of Lieut. Gen. Wainwright stating that the counter attack of his First Corps failed due to complete physical exhaustion of the troops This exhaustion condition is given another factor mitigating against evacuation of many of the defending forces.
 Secretary of War Henry l.. Smson reports that Vain wrghts force in the Philippines numbered 36S53 effective troops when resistance apparently collapsed.
 The War Secretary indicated at conference with the bulk of this force has either been killed or captured.
 President Roosevelt has authorized the Commander in the Philippines any decision deemed necessary m the light of events.
 Secretary Stmson said the figure of 36,00O in the ataan force yesterday from Gen Wainwright but he stressed the figure included only men fighting on Bataan at that time and excluded Americans and Filipino oops guarding deenses of C0rregdOr and other islands,

JOHNSON I5 HERO, NEW
 AGREEMENT
United States Emissary Is Credited with Bringing
 Anglo India Accord

NEW DELHI, April 9-A general understanding on the main points between the British and politically articulate Hindus appeared to be at hand with the reported assent of leaders of the All India Con gress party and the Hindu Ma hasabha to the establishment of national government for India.
 Such government would serve the Indians pending post war do- minion status offered by Britain as a result of reports by the British Government that the Congress par ty has finally come to terms.
 Roosevelt's personal minister to India, Louis Johnson, was charac- terized by the commentators on the conference as the hero of the hour"
 Johnson, who arrived last week, took an increasingly prominent part in negotiations, and is being cred ited in many quarters as having been the mediator toward settle ment. Last nights issue of the nationalist paper, The Bombay Sen- tinel, described him as being a super Cripps.'

WASHINGTON, April g. Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson dis- closed today that under direction of Brig. Gen. Robert Hurley, for- mer Secretary of War, now United States minister to New Zealand, urgent efforts were made begin ming last January Il, to reinforce the besieged Philippine forces from a base in Australia.

 The Secretary also said that more than half of the area of the Phil ippines, composed of some 7O00 islands. still remained in American and Filipino control but he be- lieved the defense was relatively weak, the forces being mostly Phil ippine Army reservists armed with rifles.
 The principal islands on which on landings have been reported in- clude Negroes. Panay, Cebu Samar, Leyte and Palawan.

 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON Is a. lot more in the wind at the special executive board meeting of the powerful United Auto Workers this week than the announced purpose to decide on whether the union shall waive double pay for Sun day and holiday work. Inside ln- dications are that approval of this step is certain.
 An undisclosed item on the agenda is the question of the JAW declaring open war on John |. Lewis and embarking on a cam paign to drive his cohorts out of Michigan.
 In recent months Lewis elements have been very active in the state. Hand picked henchmen have been conducting an organizing drive among dairy farmers, signing them up as members of the United Mine Workers. Other henchmen have been active among utility, transpor- tation and construction workers Still others have been busy under cover within the JAW itself.
 It was these last operations that decided JAW chiefs to call for a bare-knuckle showdown with the miner czar
 Privately they have been sore at him for a long time. But until he started meddling in the affairs of their union, they kept thelf grievances to themselves. Now however, they are determined to have it out with him, and the ex- ecutive board will be asked to ap- prove such action.
 If the board does give the green light, the stage will be set TOT momentous labor history
 It will mean that Lewis faces a head-on battle with another GIG union as big as his own. It also will mean that the other CIO lead CTS and unions will have to take sides and declare themselves for oi against Lewis.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-04-09

For several days, Japanese hordes, swollen by fresh reserves and bull warked with bombers, tanks and heavy artillery, plunged deeper into the American position on BaLaan as the epic battle on the narrow peninsula ragged on with unabated savagery.
 Both sides suffered terrible losses in the bloody combat. The Japanese gave no quarter to the heavily out numbered defending army.
 Attack Without Pause
 The Japanese juggernaut, S see k ing to drive the fiercely fighting American and Filipino soldiers into the sea, made additional progress" as wave after wave of assault troops stormed the defending lines without pause.
 Enemy dive bombers roared over the battlefield. hurling explosives and pumping machine gun bullets at General Wainwright's men.
 During the recent days, the enemy's grand-scale offensive push ed back the defending army slowly but steadily.
 Without regard to the huge cost in dead and wounded. the Japanese continued their advance, plugging gaps in their forward wall with neyer-ending stream of reinforce ments.
 The focal point for the attack was along the center flank of the defending positions short dis tance from Manila Bay.
