Associated Press War Correspondent.
WITH THE U. S. A. F. F. E. ON
BATAAN PENINSULA, March 9
Delayed With the war in the
Pacific entering its fourth month,
Japan's propaganda machine was
working overtime in efforts to crack
both Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
troops and Filipino civilians into
capitulation.
The japanese used every angle of
appeal. ranging from Japan's swift
advances to the south to the Japa-
nizing of Filipino textbooks in Ma
Mia preparatory to the re-opening
of the schools.
In an effort to play on the emo
tions Of the Fihpino-American
troops, Japanese planes dropped
leaflets telling them that they had
been sold out by the United States
in favor of other Allies"
Surrender cards also were dropped
carrying detailed information to
facilitate their advancing to Japa-
neSe lines unhindered.
These and other methods used to
try to get the defenders out of the
dust-covered Bataan Peninsula have
been completely ineffective with the
soldiers other than to reinforce
their determination to fight on even
more strongly.
Radio Plays American Tunes.
The Manila radio all day long is
playing American records, even
favorite United States patriotic
tunes, which reach Corregidor and
Bataan radios in full strength.
During the news broadcasts the
announcer, with Japanese boast
fulness, presents a rosy picture of
the occupied areas in Manila and
depicts an increasingly grave situa-
ton in the fighting in areas still
held by Filipino-American troops.
A recent program carried a direct
appeal to Filipinos to lay down
their arms, return to their homes
and enjoy peace and prosperity
with the aid of Japanese special
lists sent from Japan. The answer
to this was seen with marked clear
ness in the face of any Filipino
soldier or civilian listening to this
type of honeyed appeal.
The Filipino Americans one
source of news, which brings the
realization that the United States
has not forgotten them, is the San

Bombing Raids Open
American Action in
Battle for Australia
Admiral Hart Admits
Initial Campaign Lost;
Declares Fleet Intact
3: tie Associated Press.

3; II e Associated Press.
American action in opening
days of the battle for Australia
will be centered in long-range,
heavy bomber attacks on jap
anese invasion fleets, it was pre-
dicted today by military experts.
The report on the first such raid
listed seven japanese ships knocked
out at no cost to the American
force. Previously Japan's total ship
losses officially claimed by American
action we're 1873 vessels of all types
and Admiral Thomas C. Hart said
such attrition must be causing the
enemy great concern for the future.
Commanded by Maj. Richard H.
Carmichael, eight heavy American
bombers raided japanese shipping in
the harbor of Salamaua. New
Guinea, on Tuesday. They dropped
18 tons of bombs on their target,
leaving two japanese ships sinking,
four on fire and one beached on the
shore. The American planes re-
turned to their base unchanged,
the Army announced in commu-
nique late yesterday.
Admiral Hart Reports.
In a report on naval action in
the first three months of the war,
Admiral Hart yesterday credited
Japanese air superiority with q
major share in Nippon's gains.
The enemy has been able to en-
ploy land-based planes throughout
all his advances" said Admiral Hart,
the former Asiatic Fleet commander
and former commander of Allied
naval forces in the Western Hemi-
sphere.
The final salient feature of this
campaign is that while the enemy
has won it, captured much territory,
etc. his own expenditures have been
high. = The compilations made
by the Navy Department are good
and, as already given out, show
losses in ships of various types,
which with the enemys limited
capacity for replacement, are bound
to be a subject for his great future
concern.
Unfortunately, the Allies also
have had losses: but with the ex-
ception of the RepUlse and the
Prince of Wales British capital
ships, they are not serious from a
comparative standpoint.
Admits Campaign Lost.
The American Asiatic Fleet has
been involved in the loss of cam
paign. But the war continues and
most of that fleet, with what is now
a veteran personnel, remains to as
sist in carrying it on
In the Atlantic war, Secretary
Knox announced that the Navy
would henceforth withhold identi-
fication of merchant ships sunk by
German submarines off the Ameri-
can coast The announcement of
names makes 1t too easy for the
enemy to get valuable information
as to the extent of damage done, the
Secretary said.
Hereafter the Navy will describe
lost vessels as small, medium or
large ships only. Publication OF
personal experience accounts of sur
vivors will be permitted.

Botoun Propaganda Bockfires Against Jops;
Makes Defenders Fight On Even More Strongly

available radio receivers, hanging
on to every word.
Buoyed by Broadcast.
The recent March of Time broad
cast dedicated to Gen. Macarthur
and his men sent thrills through
the listeners as it brought them the
feeling that the United States, quite
the contrary to Tokio's claims, was
not letting them down.
Toxic recently employed an ex-
aSperating method to block out the
programs by use of a "howler, u
which often makes reception i'm
possible. However, when the howler
is on full stream the soldiers re-
taliate by saying THE news is SO
good that TOTO can't stand to let
, us hear it."
An equal appeal to both Filipinos
and Americans is made in the Amer
ican programs, which are given
both in English and Tagalog. The
Filipinos thus hear the words car
ried thousands of miles through
the air that the United States is
following Fundamentally their ef-
forts to hold each kilometer of Their
native land.
During a recent night overheard
the reactions of a group of Ameri-
can soldiers after they had listened
to a radio program from the United
| States.
Cites Equipment Need.
A bearded sergeant told the group:
"Nuts-all those billions of dol
lars are okay. but I favor using
Winchells suggestion that we are
not a bunch of Sergt. Yorks. We
need stuff to rip into the Japs with.
A lad with a Southern accent
draWled:
Wait until some Flying Fortresses
make a call on Toxic. Then you'll
be thankful the United States is
tossing billions about"
I sincerely believe that every
American officer and soldier would
like to be able to send a card of ap-
probation to the United States for
the efforts to help morale. They
know that United States factories
are pouring forth an endless chain
of war materials which soon may
find place in good-sized convoy
| headed in this direction.
These Americans, representing ev-
cry State in the Union, stand firm
on the ground of Bataan and forti-
fed islands, knowing that the United
| States will not let them down.
