WAINWRIGHT'S MEN
AWAIT NEXT ATTACKS
Americans, FiIipinOs in

BY MACK JOHNSON


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April 3. -.
(UP) - Lieutenant General
Jonathan M. Wainwright's
men were "mopping up" al
considerable japanese spear
head today that had been
trapped after it had made a
hole in the American Filipino
main line on Bataan PENN
Sula.
Latest reports. received by the
war department from wainwright
said the hole had been closed and
indicated that the defenders were
ready for another heavy enemy as
sault which may have been launch-
ed last night.
Because of Wainwright's failure
to report on fighting conditions this
morning, the war department. did
not issue its customary forenoon
communiQue. But officials eiilplla@
sized that no important significanca
should be attached to the monien-
tary lack Of news.
The report of the spearhead at4
tack indicated that WainwTight's
skillful generalship combined with
heroic fighting by his greatly OUT
numbered men, turned what could
have been q successful break
through" into q smashing defeat
for the enemy forces.
General fighting was still gOlnk
on last night near the left center
of Wainwright's line on Bataaz, huk
the enemy advance has been halted
and the break in the main line re-
stored by fierce counter-attack
Japanese losses are believed t.
have been heavy, while our oNIA
casualties were surprisingly small
the war departments communiqua
said.
Heaviest Attack Of All
The latest attack was the seconA
Of Wednesday night and was III
heaviest of any reported In n1ora
than five days Of fighting.
The increasing intensity of the
Japanese attacks, and the contin
ued use of aircraft to bomb the
front and rear Americans Filipino
lines as well as Corregidor fortress
indicated that the crucial phase Q,
the battle Of Bataan may be ab
hand.
Communicates give little in the
way of details to show what the
strategy of the commander may
have been. Thus 1t is not possible
to tell whether the latest enelay
attack which succeeded in pene-
trating the American lines was the
result of an especially heavy thrust,
or whether wainwright played the
game that way. There were hints
that the man who succeeded Gen.
Douglas Macarthur pulled back his
patrols and other front line troops
when the Japanese infantry att
tackled, and when the right monont
arrived, delivered a pincer drive at
the base of the Japanese spearheads
cutting it of.
Before the action, the weary de-
tenders Of Bataan repulsed another
attack near the center of their lines
and with the help Of heavy fire from
American artillery on advance ele.
ments Of Japanese infantry, regaileG
outposts lost Tuesday night.
Dept. Describes It
The second attack during the lass
SO hours came at about 10 a. m, yes

War Department describes 1t:

by heavy concentration Of artillery

P.-The Japanese guards at Ma

Apparently they were unable to

The Japanese themselves contri-

Housewives in East
Begin Run on Beef a!
Supplies Decrease
Washington, However,
Sufficiently Stocked
To Meet Demands
Ps the Associated Press.


Housewives in many sections
of the East today sought to lay
in supplies of meat as markets
suddenly faced an acute short
age of beef, pork and veal.
The supply was reported to be
running short here with expecta-
tions of a continued shortage for
several days. but no abnormal run
on meat was yet underway.
Retailers in parts of New York
State said they were forced to sell
some meat we wouldn't have in
our stores a few weeks ago, and
charge as much as we used to get
for the best"
The situation was viewed with
pessimism by some independent
meat packers although the major
packing companies declared earlier
that there was no actual shortage
and that a temporary lack of sup
ply would be alleviated next week.
Packing Houses Empty.
Retailers who buy in small guam
titles found many local packing
houses empty. and stores having
normally large supplies found the
buying unusually heavy for the
week end.
Joseph Cohn, counsel and execu-
tive director for the Meat Trades
Institute, an organization of inde-
pendents, said the shortage was
grave. -H
mo immediate relief of the situa-
ton can be expected" Mr.. Cohn
said, without ceiling on livestock
and effective measures assuring that
manufacturers abide by the true
ceiling and refrain from diverting
production to other areas"
Chain stores in the Philadelphia
area reported that ample supplies
were on hand to meet the large de-
mand this week end, but said next
week is another question and we
won't chance a prediction of how
our stocks will be-"
At present beef and pork supplies
in Philadelphia were reported to be
off so per cent.
Poultry Is Plentiful.
In Syracuse. N. Y, retailers said,
"You can't buy any meat in Syra-
cuse warehouses-they're all out and
nave been for several days"
The Connecticut Agriculture De-
partment urged families to use
poultry of which there is an
abundant supply in view of light
supplies of beef and pork. Res
tuarants in Connecticut were featur-
ing eggs and seafoods as main
courses in place of meat.
In Nebraska, E. A. Holloway, sec
retary of the Omaha Livestock Ex-
change, said "our receipts are prac-
tically normal now. There's no
doubt but receipts of cattle were alb
normally higher in May and June
due to uncertainty in the mind of
the feeder as to the future of the
market price.
That, I think, will result in a
decrease OF meat tonnage later.
Because Of the large demand for
beef, grass cattle normally slaugh-
tered in so or 80 days are now
being killed. We just won't have
these supplies later. This decreased
tonnage could very easily lead to
shortage"
Portland, Greg. reported a Short
age Of pork and upper grades OF
cattle due principally to the ex-
panded war-industry population.
