WASHINGTON, May 6. UP
Corregidor went down to defeat only
after new concentrations of big
caliber japanese artillery had swept
away beach defenses and inflicted
heavy casualties on the weary, hun
CRY. and disease-ridden American
Filipino defenders, the war depart
ment disclosed today.
New 9.4-inch batteries concen-
trated in the mountains of Bataan
high above the fortress rock at the
entrance to Manila bay accomplish
ed what nearly five months OF in
cessant bombing and Smelling had
failed to do.
Barbed wire entanglements. ma
chine gun nests and other military
installations were destroyed. Then
in the darkness of last night the
japanese swarmed across the three
miles of water separating the fort
ress from Bataan. They came in
steel barges. And they established
a beach head which the weakened
defenders could not dislodge.
The communique indicated that
the Japanese, the Manila bay forts
captured, were proceeding without
pause in efforts to mop up resistance
remaining elsewhere in the Philip
pines.

GUNS HANDICAPPED

The communique detailing the last
fighting on Corregidor-Whose de-
tenders a few hours before PreSi-
dent Roosevelt had called the Civ
ing symbol of our war aims and the
guarantee Of victory" how the
fortress 3 inch naval guns had
fired back at the enemy almost to
the end.
But the big guns were handicap
ped ~ total lack of aerial observa-
ton. They did succeed in smashing
enemy truck columns on Bataan.
But they were unable to spot and
destroy the heavy guns that blasted
down on Corregidor from the slopes
of Mount Mariveles.
Ever since the fall of Bataan, the
communique said, the japanese had
subjected the island forts to unre-
hitting aerial and artillery bomb
ardment

PRESSURE ELSEWHERE

In one of his last messages be-
fore he had to surrender Corregidor,
Lieut.. Gen. Jonathan M. VAIN
wright reported that the Japanese
had landed achievements in west
ern Mindanao, the Philippines sec
ond largest island, in the vicinity
of Malabang near Contabato.
Enemy troops in steel invasion
bargeS, the communique said, are
moving up the Pulangi river in
Mindanao and heavy japanese pres
sure is being exerted on American
Filipino forces near Digos on the
same island.
Military observers here estimated
that about 1000 American and Fill
Pine soldiers, sailors and marines
and 5000 civilians were on the
Manila bay fortresses when they
fell Included in the total were Ga
army nurses who had been evacuat-
ed from Bataan when that peninsu-
la fell April 9.

Is AIR RAIDS

On April 90 the o:iemy assaults
became much heavier" the war
department said, and from then
until May there was little respite"
On the last day of fighting, and
for the fourth consecutive day, the
japanese made Is separate air at
tacks on the 1,300-acre rock. But the
communique said it was enemy ar
tillery fire which in the end proved
disastrous.
The communique gave no details
of American losses in killed and
wounded in the last few days of the
battle, but said:
There were many casualties
among our troops and the damage
to military installations was severe"
The japanese in capturing the is
land forts after nearly five months
of never ending attack won a major
strategical victory. Military men
here pointed out, however, that the
forts value to the enemy cannot
now be nearly as great as it would
have been three months ago.
TRIBUTE PAID
In that respect, officials said, the
garrisons on Corregidor island and
her sister forts carried out their
assignment - last ditch resistance
and inflicticn of the greatest pos
sible toll on the enemy.
General Wainwright and his he
roic men received only yesterday, be-
fore the japanese invason of Cor
regidor island, tribute for their gal
liant stand from their commander
in-chief, President Roosevelt.
You and your devoted followers
have become the living symbols of
our war aims and the guarantee of
victory" the President said in a
message to Wainwright.
And as the news of what had ap-
peared to be inevitable for many
weeks became fact today, officers
enlisted men, high government Of
ficials and the man in the street
spoke of Corregidor and her heroic
defenders in reverent tones.

Almost two hundred years ago, young Leo

how much wine was left in his fathers casks
by humping them with mallet, IL he tapped

medicine and used a somewhat similar method
to determine whether or not patients lungs
were congested by humping the chest with
his finger. He wrote book about his method
but no one paid any attention to it until years
later when copy of his book fell into the
hands of Jean Nicolos Corvisant, Napoleon's
famous physician, who saw the value of the
method and caused it to become standard
medical practice.
One Of the most common practices OF the
Hindus, Chinese and Malayans has been TO
swallow the fangs and poison gland Of the
snake that bit the victim.
The already poisoned man took some more
of the same poison. This treatment, handed
down from the prehistoric past, was the best
attempt they could make to carry out the
sound and successful modern anti-venin

About the year 1900 Sir Theodore Tur-

recommended as a remedy for govt "the rasp-

The peasants of Central Europe have be-
heved for years that bee keepers never suf-
fered from rheumatism--and it now appears
that there is some scientific basis for their
old belief. Dr. B. F. Beck has written large
volume on the definite value of bee stings as
a treatment for one special type of arthritis
and researches are being conducted on such
treatment for other rheumatic conditions.
All right, how about this one? Suppose
