Japs 'Didn't Know What Hit
'Em' Says Gen. 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 . . ."
Those were the words of Brig. Gen. Ralph Royce, leader of
the most spectacular aerial exploit of the war, in telling how
American airmen dumped 110 tons of bombs on Japanese ships,
troops and bases in the Philippines during a 48-hour "field day
I something In the nature of a picnic."
! It wns tho first detailed accounting of the 4000-mile raid by 13
United States bsmbcrs blazing a
historic trail Into the heart of the
Japaneso citadel of aggression
Royce disclosed that while his
rampaging bond of flyers was
spreading havoc and panic
among the Japanese Invaders
from a secret base In the Philip
pines, he exchanged several mes
sages with Licul. uen. J. m.
Walnwrlght. commander of the
beleaguered C'rrcgldor fortress
In Manila bay.
Their work done. 12 of the
bombers winged back to Aus
tralia with more than 25 evac
uees from Corregldor who stole
away under the noses of the Jap
anese through a heavy bombara
ment to the secret rendezvous,
along with the 10 crewmen of the
only lost plane, a flying fortress
bombed whllo being repaired on
the ground.
'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. At the time of the Jap
anese break-through' in Bataan,
they said, moralo slumped, but
soared quickly with tho realiza
tion that Corregldor hnd plenty
ot food and water to hold out
for "quite a while."
A few score American nurses
wcro reported on Corregldor,
Royce, giving a chronological
account of tho expedition ln an
Interview, said that with the
American bomber flcot estab
lished at its secret striking base,
it went Into action Sunday after
the crewmen had worked all
night tuning up their planes and
stocking them with fuel and
bombs.
They paid their first call on
Batangas, south of Manila, where

one Japanese transport was
sunk. 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. Davies,
who piloted one of the medium
bombers at the head of a squad
ron, said heavy and accurate
anti-aircraft fire was encounter
ed at certain places, The Amer
icans also ran Into Japanese
navy "zero" fighters over Davao,
shooting down one.

Yea mightn't think that Just
aettln' and talkin' would be so
much fun. But it Is. Particularly
when a man begins to get around
to the age of reason. Like na.
And it's wonderful hew a few
glasses of good beer help bring out
good talk and good sonse when
men got together. Thero's some
thing peaceful and friendly and
human about beer that brings out
the best in a man. ,
They call beer the "beverage ef
moderation." That "moderation'
idea is good philosophy . . . maybe
that's why good beer and good
fellowship go together so well-
Seems to me there ought to be
more of this quiet talk orer a glaaa
of beer. It sure atraightens out a
man In hia thinking.
' Anyhow, men ompht to get to
gether and be friends. That's the
way we were made. Why not try it
