Ralph Joyce Of Air Raid on Philippines By DON CASWELL GEN. MAC ARTHUn'S HEADQUARTERS, MELBOURNE, April 21 (UP) "I'll bet those damned Nips still don't know what hit them . . ."

'The most important military aspect of the Mission," Royce said, "was the frightening effect on Japanese morale and the heartening effect on the Ameri cans and Filipinos still battling strongly on tho islands, proving Hint their comrudes still aro do ing their best to relieve them." iloyco said the wholo plan of the raid was drawn up by Gen. Douglas MacArthur and his staff in tho first audacious implement ation of his promise when he ar rived in Australia to return to tho Philippines and drive out the Japanese. Tho evacuees from Corregldor, many of thorn fresh from over run Batnan pcninsulu, slipped away last weekend to meet Royce at tho air field he used as an advanced striking base. They ran a gauntlet ot shells arching in from tho mainland on two sides and a hail of bombs from Japanese planes. Tho mission finished, the pas sengers wore loaded into the fly ing fortresses and the B-23 bombers, two or three to each piano, which took off Tuesday night and modo tho return flight to Australia without incident. The evacuees said Corregldor was crowded for a time by the refugees from Bataan, but they wcro speedily assigned special duties.

A flying fortress hunting Japanese warships near Correg ldor found none and proceeded to Nichols Field near Manila, dropping a stick of bombs. Also on Sunday morning unit of the medium bombers went to Cebu with Instructions to blast Japanese transports and their escort vessels. "Wo had quite a picnic there," Royce remarked. "Wo knocked out some transports. Tha same afternoon I sent more of the med ium bombers to hit Davao and attack Cebu a second time. "A fortress which bombed Nichols Field returned with a defect in one engine, making two of our three fortresses tempor arily out of commission. "A Jap reconnaissance plane "Photo Joe," we called him evidently spotted one fortress during the day, because the dive bombers started to come over by twos and threes. They came down to 2000 feet and got a direct hit on the fortress which was having its engine removed, knocking it completely out." Lieut. Col. John H.
