Coregidor Is Badly Scared by Jap Shells,
But Military Damage Is Surprisingly Small

others with fixed stares, some with
out sign Of emotion.
This Voice of Freedom, which has
been broadcasting encouragement to
the defenders from some undis-
closed place In the Philippines ever
since the Japanese overran Luzon
Island, delivered stirring word
salute even while the men Of Cor
regidor still were fighting back at
the invaders and wondering what
had become of their 30-odd thou
sand comrades trapped on Bataan.
Epic Struggle Praised.
"Bataan has fallen" said the
Voice of Freedom. The Filipino
and American troops on this war
ravaged, blood-stained peninsula
have laid down their arms.
with their heads bloody but un-
bowed they have yielded to the su-
perior force and numbers Of the
enemy.
The world will long remember the
epic struggle they put up .
they have stood up uncomplaining
under the grueling fire Of the enemy
for more than three months. 80
"The adversary in the pride of his
power and triumphs will credit our
troops with nothing less than the
courage and fortitude his own troops
have shown in battle. '''
spotoov, Fo Ilor the cyirit
that made it stand-a beacon to all
liberty loving peoples Of the world
cannot fall"
Heard Great Explosions.
Looking across the Emile stretch
Of water toward Bataan, the men
Of Corregidor heard great explosions
throughout the night and saw huge
puffs Of smoke and flame indicating
that the last Of the defending forces
were blowing UP. their own muni-
tions dumps, carrying out the
scorched earth formula to cheat the
enemy Of military spoils.
We on Corregidor can only
imagine the variety of hell these
last men are going through. Bataan
has been pounded necessarily by
planes never opposed by anything
but AA fire. The exhausted
Filpinos and Americans can only
fight back with what they have and
take what the Japs are giving.
All night long I saw small boats
creeping across the channel with the
few soldiers and civilians able to
make the perilous dash for the
comparative safety Of Corregidor.
Japanese planes bombed and
machine -gunned their course active
ly, but that was nothing new to
them. The main thing they were in
terested in was sleep.
Action has been so fast and parts
of the situation so veiled in confusion
that it is difficult to envision a full
picture of what has happened In
these last hours, but hope some day
to be able to pass on the story.
Hospital Is Bombed.
One striking phase of it can be re-
ported. Yesterday Japanese planes
unloaded a stick Of bombs on the
defenders base hospital on Bataan.
Granting Toxic the benefit Of the
doubt, Gen Wainwright expressed
belief that the attack on the hospi-
tai was unintentional.
Bombs tore into some Of the ex-
posed wards, among wounded men
and nearly exhausted nurses.
Throughout this ordeal DR.. Erwin
r. Nelson Of the hospital corps oper-
ated without letup. Circumstances
required that his hand be steady
even when a bomb came screaming
down nearby during an amputation

To Act on Grievances
Bv the Associated Press,

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April II.
A three-day truce, during which
grievances are to be studied by
Federal conciliator, put the Nays
South Charleston ordnance plant
back n operation today after Gov.
Matthew M. Nicely made a personal
appeal to union workers.
The men, after placing before
Gov. Nicely a list of grievances
which they said had gone unsettled
for months, voted unanimously to
return to work at least until pm.
Tuesday.
After announcement of the truce,
Capt. Roy Pfaff, Navy officer in
charge Of the big factory, made pub
lie an official dispatch from Secre-
tary of Navy Knox, in which he
said that cessation of work in that
plant is equivalent to insurrection."
Operated Under Navy Lease.
Capt. Pfaff said he had advised
both company and union officials
Of Mr.. Knox's message.
The midnight shift did not report
last night at the $4,000, 900 factory
operated under Navy lease by the
Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. and
operations virtually were halted un-
til this afternoon.
The 4 pm. shift went to work as
agreed.
The Governor spoke three times

William Mackay, sub-regional di-
rector of the c. I. o. Steel Workers,
Organizing Committee and read
telegram from G. I. o. President
Philip Murray asking that the
workers return pending arbitration
of their grievances.
The members of S. w. o. c. Local
1886, complained among other
things, Gov. Nicely said, that their
representations about operations
were ignored. The men also con-
tended that they are not paid the
prevailing wage rate in the Charles
ton area.
Union sources said the basic rate
for unskilled labor at the plant was
73.5 cents an hour and that skilled
labor received $1.235, which was
less than paid in other plants in
the Kanawha Valley.
Company ofiicials did not COM
ment on the meeting but President
j. L. Perry said in statement
at Pittsburgh:
This strike is unauthorized as
far as we know. 1t is in viola
ton of recent assurances of labor
that there would be no strikes on
war production. The work at the
South Charleston plant Is 100 per
cent for the Navy"

Yet, there Is surprisingly little

have started small fires, easily ex-

Between Meal Snacks Give
Dieters Quick Energy
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

WHEN YOU get so hungry
on your diet that you are ready
to snap at anybody who comes
along, it's time you eat.
Go right out and tie into
good sized steak. And have a
potato with it. Your bad dispo-
sition is a bad sign.
1t may be symptom of actual
weakness. In cutting your
calories down so that most OF
the carbohydrates are omitted.
the burning of the fat calories
is slowed down and you may
not have enough energy to go on.
To avoid this, take smaller
meals and have some between
meal calories in the form of
carbohydrates to furnish quick
energy.
Have a big glass OF tomato
Juice between breakfast and
lunch and in the midafternoon
have a banana, an orangeade
made with just a little sugar,
hot tea with lemon and one lump
of sugar, or pep cocktail of
orange juice with raw egg
beaten into IL.
The fruit juices help 10 main
tain the mineral and vitamin
balance and are excellent for
the overweight.
Before Bed Snack
If you find that a snack be-
fore going to bed is a great COM
fort. you can have it-but take
il in place of dessert with your
dinner. INTENTIONALLY, a glass of
skim milk would be the thing
to have
But if it's something stronger
you want. just count the calories
in. Alcohol is just calories. IL
is not food in the sense that il
furnishes anything for repair or
protection.
Since you don't want these
between-meal calories to inter-
fere with your loss of weight.

counted.
