TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 17.-Fire Chief c. J. Eisenbacher said he. ex- pected at least 10 perished when fire, of undetermined origin, de- stroyed the four-story Mayfair Apartment in the business district, housing 75, mostly war workers and servicemen's wives and families.
 One is known to be dead and one missing. asi aa
 Thirteen were treated for burns and injuries incurred while leapfng from windows and the roof of the flaming structure.
 The fire chief said he believed it to be the city's worst blaze. It will be hours before they can enter the wreckage to search for bodies.
 The first alarms were turned in at 2 o'clock this morning and six hours later the fire was still blazing. The loss is estimated at $50000.

U. 5. FORCES
 LAND; KEEP
 DRIVING ON
Trap CIamped on Several Thousand Disorgdn-
 ized Jap Troops

MANILA, Fep. lI.--Recapture of historic Bataan Peninsula is pro- claimed today as the Eleventh Corps of Tanks landed on the south tip Thursday under Corregidor's silenced guns, and seized Mariveles Harbor and airdrome and clamped the trap on several thousand disorganized Japanese troops.
 Protected by guns of the Seventh Fleet, which shelled Corregidor fort ress and by planes of the Far East Task Force, the Americans swung around from Alongapo Naval Base on Subic Bay to establish 500-yard beachhead on Mariveles Harbor. American losses were light.
 The Sixth Division, meanwhile, has been thrown into the raging battle for Manila and thus the re- inforced Fourteenth Corps drove to the bay front on an 800-yard front to reduce the Japanese holdings on the triangle of the city's heart by about 1000 to 5000 yard, the Nips resisting bitterly.
 On Bataan, the Americans drove swiftly inland to close the 18-mile gap between them and the strong U. s. force moving down Manila Bay shore 't0 the peninsula from the north.
 We have captured Bataan" said five-starl Gen. Douglas Macarthur as he hailed the victory of the cam paign of a. little. more than two weeks that took the Japs more than three months to do in 1922.
