Filipino Uprisings
Seen as Japs Land
Tanks on Mindoro
Naval Units She'll Ports
On Philippines Island
South Of Manila Boy

New evidence that the Japan
ese, baked in desperate efforts
to drive Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's miracle fighters" out
of Bataan Peninsula, also still
face trouble in other parts of
the Philippines, was provided by
the War Department yesterday.
Enemy troops have landed at the
town of Calapan, on the island of
Mindoro, about 10 miles south of
the entrance to Manila Bay, a
communique reported. The troops
were accompanied by tanks, which
indicated the japanese expected to
encounter more formidable opposi-
ton than natives with bolos.
Fourth Month Of War Opens.
AS the fourth month Of the Pa
ciflc war opened, military quarters
here were talking about the battle
Of Bataan itself as death or VIC
tory" struggle for Gen. Macarthur
and his valiant force OF fighting
American and Filipino comrades,
with the odds for death or possibly
capture heavily against those for
ultimate victory.
- The fact that there remains even
"a slight chance for triumphant sur
vival of the Philippines force was
regarded as little short of a military
miracle, however, in view of what
has happened to the defenders of
Hongkong, Singapore and the Meth
erland Indies.
While there was little real news
from the Philippine front yesterday,
what the War Department did have
to report was significant for the
evidence it gave of continuing re-
sistance at points far from the we'll
organized defenses of Bataan.
Mindoro Ports Shelled.
In addition to the enemy landing
at Calapan, several ports were
shelled by japanese naval units
cruising along the east shore of
Mindoro, between that island and
the main island of Luzon.
Far to the south. on the tip of
the big island of Mindanao, there
was what the communique called
"desultory fighting between patrols"
on the outskirts of the city of Zam-
boanga, where the invaders landed
earlier in the week.
American Filipino opposition in
Mindanao, home OF the fighting
Moro tribesmen, has been substan-
tial. Those forces appear still to
retain control of the north coast
and interior of the big island. The
Moros have pledged a fight to the
finish against the invaders.
Lull on Peninsula.
A lun continued on Bataan Pen
insula itself, the War Department
said, except for slight artillery fire
and an Ineffective enemy air raid"
The miracle" of Gen. MacArthur's
historic stand on Bataan is ex-
planned by officers who have known
him for years in terms of thorough
preliminary planning long before the
wsr began. OF equal importance,
they said, is the fact that Gen. Mac
Arthur has out-generaled and his

M Street and Key Bridge
Congestion Protested

Difficulty of making a left-hand
turn at the traffic light on the Dis
trict side of Key Bridge, particularly
on Sunday. has been brought to the
attention of the Department of We
hicleS and Traffic by the Keystone
Automobile Club.
Prompt investigation was prom
ised by M o. Eldridge, assistant di-
rector of vehicles and traffic, it was
said.
A survey by the club disclosed that
because the same light moving
traffic from the bridge also brings
outbound NJ street traffic onto the
bridge. left-hand turns are almost
impossible. Serious congestion re-
suits. especially on Sunday, when
many motorists are driving to Glen
Echo and Great Falls, according to
the club.

sailors on the streets hurried to

"A 67-minute AFRAID alarm for

announcement. The alarm sounded
at 1920 after defense units detected
the approach of unidentified ele-

Hawaii were ordered off the air as
a precautionary measure at Gas

CThe radio silence prevented
any word of the alarm reaching
the mainland until the all-clear
was sounded at 1927 Honolulu

The Army refused to divulged the
reason for the alarm until all ap-

People dashed from the streets
and buildings into bomb shelters on
downtown street corners, while
some sought protection from con-
crete and wood overhangings Of
buildings.
The sirens sounded for several
minutes but laughing and talking
continued in crowded hotel lobbies,

troops have out-fought the Japanese
in every engagement to date.

III every engagement 10 Qale.
Eventually, perhaps, Gen. Mac
Arthur may have to withdraw his
forces to Corregidor and the other
forts guarding Manila Bay. There
they should be able to continue the
fight for some time longer in the
last-ditch hope that reinforcements
will be sent.
Gen. MacArthur's reports to the
War Department have shown that
he was thoroughly informed before
hand on every important move the
Japanese made. Much of this in
telligence came from Filipinos in
occupied areas outside Batean. He
probably gained other data from
reconnaissance operations of the tiny
air force he has managed to keep
intact.

jungle. a ride of about $500 miles,

jungle is awe-inspiring. Sometimes
there are scattered trees and rolling
ground. In the northerly fringe
there are an estimated 300 miles, de-
scribed as "Amazonian jungle of
matted trees and shrubs and vines
so tight-packed it looks like a vast
field of broccoli-so dense that SUM-

jungle we glimpsed at close hand
near Belem. Dripping wet, it sup

through which it is only possible to
advance by cutting.

Fighting Dies Down in Rus sid as Winfry Weather
 Grips Southern Region

MOSCOW, Nov. 9.-German forces have been stalled in drive toward the Georgian military highway over the Causian Mountains. They at tempted to resume their march near Nalchik yesterday, but Russian tank crews smashed up every attack.
 The Soviet communique said that a battalion of German infantry was wiped out in three days of fighting in one sector of the Nalchik region.
 Earlier in the day, the communi- que reported 1 700 Nazi soldiers paid with their lives in this Caucasian region, which is now gripped in cold, wintry weather.
 Fighting in the Stalingrad area is on a small scale in the northwest part of the city and the action is confined largely to military duels.
