 Finally Falls
 To Japanese
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTO\=The Japanese virtually cleaned ID their Philip pine campaign this week during the last days of the wars fifth month mark when the surrender Of Corregidor's worn out hungry gar rison finally silenced its great guns. Gorregidor fell after a battering four week seige which exhausted the supplies and the human physical endurance of it's dogged and heroic garrison. With 1t the enemy also won the smaller rocky island fort resses. Fort Hughes. Fort Drum and Fort Frank which lie nearby. To the Japanese also went some 7.O00 prisoners of war including 2S45 officers and men of the Navy and Marine Corps.
 For lack of word To the contrary. it was assumed. too. that the pris- oners included a detail of Army nurses who transferred from Bat aan when the fighting ceased there and the commanding officer. Lieut. Gen. Jonathan N. Wainwright
 The fall of the island fort was hardly unexpected. But. for Wash ington. sorrow over the develop ment was mingled with a determin- ation that in the end the Philip pines would be regained and the invaders driven out.
 Authorities had counted on Cor regidor and Bataan to do two things-first. prevent the Japan ese from using Manila Bay. second. tie Up as large as possible force of enemy troops and war machints for as long as possible.
 The beleagUered defenders who hung on in a holocaust of shenfire until their unbreakable spirits a. lone supported their failing bodies. were said to have accomplished both far beyond all expecta- tion.
