JAPANESE ARE PENETRATING INDIA, CHINA (Continued from Page O} ne) | into China, but speculation is raised CORREGIDOR, OTHER BASES HAVE FALLEN (Continued from Page One) off from supplies and reinforce- ments One of the last messages received from Gen. Wainwright before the fall of Corregidor reported that casualties had been heavy for the last few days and that the con- stant pounding by the enemy re- sulted in severe damage to the mili- tary installations. Siege Guns Effective For the fourth consecutive day, 13 separate air attacks were made on Corregidor on May 5, Wain- wright reported, but he said that the shelling from Jap 240 millimeter siege guns has been more disas- trous than the aerial bombardment. The final artillery barrage de- stroyed barbed wire entanglement and blasted machine gun instal- lations and other centers of re- sistance. Wainwright's report said that the Japs brought their assault troops across the narrow stretch of water as Corregidor's guns replied to the enemy artillery fire and shelled truck columns on Bataan right vp to the last minute of daylight, but that counter battery fire was se- verely handicapped as it has been throughout the siege of Manila Bay because of the lack of aerial ob- servation from the Manila Bay forts. Wainwright Remains A message received in Allied Headquarters in Australia just be- fore the surrender expressed Wain- wright’s determination to remain with his men until the end. The message as published said: “I have been with my men from the start and if captured will share their lot. We have been through so much together, my conscience wouldn’t let me leave before the final curtain. “Americans shaken by the loss of Bataan shouldn’t feel that the fail of Manila Bay's forts is a double tragedy, but rather that it is the on the prospects of a major offen- !s\vr with Chungking itself as thel | This dispatch and another from | {London added that Lieut. Gen.| { Jcseph Stilwell, commanding the Chinese forces in the defense of ‘Bulma. had arrived safely at an {undisclo.sed base in Burma. i The situation at Wanting, a Chin- Love to Fish THE LURE OF FISHING isn’t so much the catching of fish ... it's the relaxation...the refreshment of mind, nerves and body...the peace andguiet, the wholesome surroundings. You could say the same thing of Olympia Beer, the Beverage of Moderation.It, too, recoups the worker and thus serves America well these busy days... No wonder thousands say: “Fishingand beer justnaturally go together!” THOUSANDS ASK WHY “It’s the Water” For fine character and good tflste,enioyOlympia,America’s “Original Light Table Beer.” Its high quality is due to the perfection ofOlympia’sfamous subterranean brewing water plus premium-priced ingredi- ents and the brewing skill of three generations of one family of Master Brewers.

S. Bombers Hit Meanwhile, New Delhi reported | yesterday that 40 Jap planes had | been destroyed and 25 others badly | damaged when -a United States | bomber squadron struck in its sec- ond successive raid on the Mingal- adon Airdrome just north of Ran- goon. American sources in India said |that three flights of Major-Gen. |Lewis H. Brereton’s bomber force in India had delivered an attack |in the morning, starting fires at |the drome which could be seen for 70 miles. The Royal Air Force, timing its blows with the American attack, | struck anew at barges bringing Jap- |anese war material and perhaps | troops up the Chindwin River from | the Burma front 400 miles north. CLINIC HELD IN HEALTH CENTER Immunization clinic series for Juneau children, drawing toward |the end, found 55 children yester- |day morning at the clinic in the | Public Health Center, where Dr. L. P. Dawes gave the inoculations for typhoid, whooping cough, diph- theria and smallpox.

The London Daily Express today quoted the French radio as saying that the 7,000-ton French cruisers Marseillaise and LaMotte Picquet were missing since the British at- tack on Madagascar, The Express said the Vichy an- nouncement expressed fears that the cruisers “may either have joined the British or are trying to rejoin the French fleet in Indo-China.” Warplanes Dominate During the attacks yesterday on the northern tip of the vital French island base, it was reported that Royal Air Force warplanes domin- ated the skies over the base and British warships reported that a firm command was surrounding the | seas around the port of Diego Suarez. The British said that Commandos leading the assault plunged 20 miles through heavy jungles against “stif- fening French resistance” to reach the gates of the naval base. A joint British Admiralty and War Office communique admitted that yesterday’s British attacks were being met with “determination.” Casualties were said to be heavy. Meanwhile, it was reported in London that Washington was con- sidering a possible United States move against Vichy controlled bases , Southern 3/16, Curtiss Wright 6%, flanking the Panama Canal, since Vichy France has defied the U.
