Jonathan Jona-than M. Wainwright's lines on Ba-taan Ba-taan Penisulaulast night, but were stopped by the cold steel of American-Filipino defenders fin hours of i bayonet fighting, tlte war department announced today. The Japanese Infantry, supported support-ed by mortar fire, launched what the war department called '& "heavy attack" under cover of darkness. In repeated smashes, it succeeded in capturing some of Wainwright's advance posts. The Japanese, however, were halted by the defenders ' before they reached the main American line and the attack ended several hours "after savage hand-to-hand combat." The attack, launched by several waves of assault troops, came at the end of the seventh day of incessant in-cessant bombing and shelling of American lines and positions by Japanese bombers and heavy artillery. ar-tillery. . Military experts said that with out doubt this was the real be ginning of Gen. Tomoyuki Yama-shita's Yama-shita's efforts to liquidate the outnumbered American - Filipino forces which had repeatedly fought off the Japanese in three months of frequently intense battle and kept the enemy from using Manila Ma-nila Harbor, finest in the East. In the daylight hours before last night's assault, Japanese planes renewed raids on Corregidor's island is-land fortress and the defenders' real lines. The raids, carried out for the most part by flights of two planes, were described as "minor" and were "brought to an abrupt end when the two heavy Japanese bombers engaged in the raid were shot down by our antiaircraft artillery." ar-tillery." This made a total of 28 planes shot down by Corregidor's Corregi-dor's guns. MARKETS a Glance Stocks irregular and quiet. Bonds irregularly lower: U, s: governments lower. Curb stocks irregular.
