the enemy controlled the skies and
the sealanes.
Since the battle Of Bataan began
the defending force not only has
repulsed countless waves OF Japa-
nese attacks but have themselves
launched counter-attacks which
left the enemy disorganized and
willing to stop fighting for days
and sometimes weeks.
The presence Of Wainwright at
Fl. Mills, on powerful Corregidor
Island indicated that American
forces there were continuing to re-
sist the japanese despite the col
lapse OF the Bataan defenses.
Corregidor is less than three
miles from the tip OF Bataan and
is one of four forts scattered across
the entrance to Manila Bay.

obtained.

by Mccoy, a 10-minute halt was
called in the trial to permit reporters
to view the secret hearing room in
the justice department for the first
time.
The defendants appeared almost
as pleased to see some fresh faces
as the reporters, IL of them, were
pleased at seeing the defendants.
Each group stared silently at the
other for a matter cf moments.
The Saboteurs were sitting, back
to the wall, in arm chairs at the
left of the hearing room. One of
them, Edward John Kerling, was
engaged in animated discussion with
one of the defense counsel, Capt.

one of the Negroes. Other members
of the group returned with two

night that the nation faces "a ra-
ther long war" and must find
ways of making the maximum

out of minimum quantities of ma

than we have ever dreamed of max

I'VE have got to find every pos
sible way of making one hours

one pound of vital material do
what formerly took two pounds, he
added.
Nelson spoke of 1000 manufac-

You must not fail. I am sure
you will not fail u.s."
The total value of war goods pro-

Reports from underground sourc-

recently had been operating in the
Lublin and ZanoSc districts, after
receiving arms from Russian para
chutiStS.
The Polish spokesman said that
Russian parachut;sts recently land
ed on the estate of Count Adam
zamoyski, which had been used for
a prison camp for 300 Russian SOL
diers. The parachutists cut the wire
around the camp, overpowered
guards and armed the escaped
prisoners.
They joined up with guerillas in
the forest and received "a steady
flow of arms and ammunition from
Russia
Hundreds of Poles were reported
arrested in an effort to break up
the guerilla supply lines, and execu-
tions increased to such an extent
that Poland is now the chamber
of horrors of Europe" the spokes-
man said.
