 Washington, February IS - (UP) - American flying fortresses scored direct hits on a Japanese invasion fleet off Java while General Doug las MacArthur's Philippine defenders took heavy blows from reinforced enemy war. planes and artillery on Ba- taan Peninsular, the War Department reported today
 Indicating that MacArthur's su- preme hour might be near a com munique told the landing of stil more Japanese troops at Olongape at the top of Batan Peninsula from a fairly large convoy" to swell tht horde of invaders.
 Macarthur told of new Japanese warplanes and guns blasting "almost ccntsantly" at his lines in a steadily mounting tempo.
 A squadron of flying fortresses striking at the Japanese seabornt forces between Java and Sumatra'' southeastern coast, are "beiieved tt have destroyed two enemy trans ports and are known to have sunk two Japanese barges.
 The War Department communi- que. describing reports from the Pacific battlefronts up to 9:3( a. m., EWT, did not say whether this aerial success was the same one reported from Batavia in a United Nations communique.
 The United Nations communique from the Java headquarters of Gen. eral Sir Archibald P. Wavell, said that American and Dutch air squad- rons had sunk a large enemy trans port, hit two others and destroyed many barges" crammed with Japanese troops.
 The War Department spoke om- inously of the mounting tempo Cf the Japanese aerial and artillery assaults against MacArthur'S out numbered forces in the Philippines, and the arrival of still more Jap anese troops in Subic Bay north Of the fighting lines.
 There were indications that the Japanese, reinforced by planes and troops following the fall of Singa- pore, were about to go "all out .n their attempts to drive Macarthur from the island of Luzon and back into Corregidor fortress.
 Squadrons of enemy planes new to the Bataan battlefront were bombing MacArthur's troops "al- most constantly" Japanese guns shelled the American-Filipino troops and U. s. forts dominating the en- trance to Manila Bay.
 Military experts believed that the Japanese commander, Lieut.. Gen Masarahu Homma. had launched a determined "softening up" assault and that the full force of his troops estimated to outnumber MacAr- thurs forces more than 10 to one might be hurled against the de- lenders t any hour.
 For the second day, Macarthur reported, Japanese flyers bombed helpless women and children in an

Flying Fortresses Taking Their Toll of Japanese
 Attacking Planes DRIVE OF LAPS ON
 JAVA BASE GOES ON All American Citizens Are Being Evacuated With

 Batavia, February IS. = (UP) - American and Dutch air squadrons and anti-air- craft batteries hammered Japanese invasion forces surging toward Java today, shot down five of 21 enemy bombers over the big Soera- baja naval base, sank a big enemy transport, and de- stroyed many troop-laden barges. A total of II enemy planes were de- strcyed in all and two other Japan- csc transports were hit by bombs.
 The Allied counter-blows against the imminent threat of an invasion of Java were described by communi- ques of the United Nations supreme command and the Dutch high com nand, which previously had re- ported bomb attacks on nine enemy transports and two cruisers in Su- natra waters.
 (Todays communiques did not make clear whether there were Applications in the Dutch and United Nations reports of bombing attacks 9r whether the total of attacks had been increased to 14)
 The attack by two waves of 21 important Allied naval base in the East Indies, was described as un- successful and as costing the enemy almost 25 per cent of his bombers- too high loss for sustained attacks
 Americans Down Them
 In addition to five bombers shot down over Soerabaja, the United Nations communique said American fighters shot down four and the Dutch two over Sumatra.
 (The heavy Japanese air losses in the third big attack on Soerabaja indicated a concentration of strong Allied strength for the defense of Java, where Australian troops and American air personnel previously had been reported in considerable strength. A Batavia broadcast heard in San Francisco said that Dutch anti-aircraft guns had shot down five enemy planes over Soera- baja0
 The Aneta news agency said the Soerabaja attack was believed to foreshadoW an early assault on the island stronghold of Java" although there were few casualties and little damage to the harbor GA Rome radio broadcast again today claimed that Japanese troops had landed on Java. Similar Axis propaganda re- ports earlier this week were proved srroneous)
 The Japanese, having seized a ,oothold on Sumatra, 200 miles west of Java, apparently were now push ng their drive against the island
