Witness Writes
OF BQtQun's S Fall

! they crumbled after a blazing ina
stand of Is days and Is nights With
out surceaSe against thousands up
on thousands of fresh Japanese
shock troops, pick OF the Mlkado'
armies under the constant bonn
bardment of guns and screaming
dive bombers which came down or
them in scores.
They were beaten but it was a
fight that ought to make every
American bow his head in tribute
It was Americas Bataan that had
fallen but it should live forever in
American history.
CORREGIDOR READY
Corregidor still stands and it is
ready to take it.
Already, as / write this dispatch,
the Japanese have started a fur
ious long range gun bombardment
on it from the Bataan coast.
Throughout last night and this
morning, tired and haggard troops
had been arriving here, four miles
out in the bay from the Bataan
peninsula in a steady stream.
One engineer corps boat COM
manded by Lieut.. James Scatter,
Anchorage, Alaska, made four trips.
When the white flag was raised
on Bataan this morning the eyacu-
alton suddenly stopped
FINAL STAND
The navy also worked herOically
in handling the evacuation Of per-
sonnel and equipment from Mari
veleS, where the last bitter stand
of the broken army was made. 1t is
the last town on the peninsula, at
its very tip.
Navy boats throughout the day
have been picking up from the bay
the dauntless men, who to continue
the fight, came swimming out to
this fortress.
The Army's radio The Voice of
Freedom" announced the end at
7:4O pm, this evening:
"Bataan has fallen. The Filipino
and American troops on this war
ragged, blood stained peninsula have
laid down their arms, with their
heads bloody but unboWed.'
JAPS MAKE SURE
The foe in this final attack made
sure that it would receive no more
of the humiliating defeats as had
seen overwhelmingly superior num-
bers thrown back and had caused
the suicide of one commanding gen.
eral.
The attack was without mercy
Only two days ago, in pulverizing
raids, the Japanese dumped three
sticks of bombs in a Bataan field
hospital area. They killed or SER
iously wounded more than 100 pa
tients. 1t was estimated that in all
AZ persons were killed and 81 ser
iously wounded in the hospital.
Many more patients were slightly
wounded.
Army men said the hospital was
in a clearing in a densely wooded
area and it was plainly marked by
a large cross a few hundred feet
from where the bombs landed

L.itvinov Again
Calls for Attack

PHILADELPHIA, April II. up
Maxim LitvinOv, Russian ambas-
sador to the United States, called
upon the United Nations again last
night to attack the Germans and
make them scatter their forces, say
ing the main field of battle was
the Russian front, and would re-
main there.
Litvinov, speaking before the AM
erican Academy of Political and So
cial Science, said the final defeat
of Hitler and his satellites requires
the combined efforts of Russia and
Britain, with some supplementary
aid from the United States" He
said nothing less than absolute de-
feat of the Axis would suffice.

GEN M A & ARTHUR'S H r A D.
QUARTERS, Australia, April II
(UPl - United States and Philip
pine troops are fighting on in Min
danao and the Visayan Islands,
President Manuel l.. Quezon of the
Philippines said today.
In his first statement since the
collapse from exhaustion of the gal
liant Observation-Disclosures defense of
Eataan peninsula, President Quezon
pledged that the Philippines people
would stand until the bitter end
with the United States and its allies
The loss of Bataan has not end
ed the war in the Philippines, he
said. The ViSayan Islands and
Mindanao are still fighting the en-
emy.
TO BITTER END
Il am certain that all these places
will be defended as long as there
are means with which to defend
them.
The Filipino people will stand by
America and our allies to the bitter
end"
The statement of the Philippines
president who followed Gen. Dou-
glaS Macarthur to Australia to set
up his government in exile until his
island is freed, was but another re-
minder that in many areas of the
United States and Fill
ipinO troops hold great areas.
Mindanao is the great island at
the south end of the main Philip
pines group The Visayan Islands
are in the ViSayan Sea between
Mindanao and Luzon.

been freed, had heavily bombed
Koepang, the enemy invasion base
in Timor Island, yesterday.
Sweeping out over the Timor Sea
from their bases in northern Aus
tralia, the allied planes, believed to
include Flying Fortresses, fought
through intensive anti aircraft gun
fire and dropped bombs from 1,50O
feet on the airdrome.
The plane crews saw buildings
burst into flame before they turned
homeward to reach the Australian
coast, 300 miles to the southeast

Two more villages in the Bry-

Thirty German pillboxes were

Trapped Germans
Fight Desperately
Al Staraya Russa
BY NJ. S. HANDLER

KUlBYSHEV, Russia, April IL
CUP - Despite thousands of dead,
the German 10th army penned up
in the swamps and forests around
Staraya Russa for weeks, still is
making desperate efforts to escape,
the Soviet army organ Red Star
said today. It Indicated that other
German forces were in a similar
plight on the northern front
The trapped Germans can be sup
piled only by plane and the spring
thaw is fast approaching.
In the face of the imminent
begging down of their airfields by
the thaW, German transport planes
are working double time rushing up
supplies on which depend the fate
of the 10th army and other forces
or this 'front.' Red Star said.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-04-12
COST Is HEAVY

The extension of the air ferry
service like German efforts to
crash the Russian ring, only costs
them more heavily, and, it was said,
of 300 enemy planes destroyed in
the last three days, 149 were trans
ports around Staraya Russa.
Red Star said large groups of Ger
man bombers also were stabbing at
the Russian siege lines and flanks,
and these were proving fine targets
fer Russian anti-aircraft gunners.
Some crews, it said, were getting
two or three German bombers a
