of the war.

Manila.—Japanese air squadroaa
lost a number of planes in a two-
hour bombing attack on the for
tress of Corregidor, guardion of
Manila Bay, today but avoided any
new daylight attacks on the unde
fended city of Manila.
Demands for retaliatory bomb
ing of Japanese cities swept tha
capital’s population tonjght after
the first bombless day since
Christmas Eve.
The Japanese apparently were
concentrating their air attack on
the fortress—known as the Gibral
tar of the Philippines—that lies
about 30 miles from Manila in the.
center of the wide entrance to the
I bay. (There was no indication as
I to whether the attack was prepar-
'atory to an attempted invasion by
sea of the Manila area.)
“Corregidor was raided by Jap
anese planes today for two houra,**
the communique issued by United
States headquarters said. "A num
ber of Japanese planes were shot
down. There is no material change
on any part of the two fronU( on
land) today.”
