Australia's Trial Is Near expressed a determination to stay with his men, no matter what the future might hold. The fall of the island fort was hardly unexpected. It had been gloomily and resignedly foreseen ever since hte Japanese umph on Bataan. For Washington, however, sorrow over the development was mingled, as with Bataan, with a determination that in the end, the Philippines would be regained, and the Invaders driven out.

The stories of Bataan and Corregidor were essentially similar, a story of constant fighting at an ever increasing tempo, with ever fewer and shorter respites for physical recuperation and military reorganization, ending Inexorably in exhaustion and defeat. The last stages were the worse, however, on Corregidor because In addition to the other hardships hero, ically borne, ammunition was running out. There was always an adequate ammunition supply on Bataan. Fire Was Terrific Throughout the fighting on the peninsula, Corregidor was pcunded Intermittently by bombing planes and by big guns emplaced on the Cavite shore 10 or more miles away. Having 'seized Bataan, however, the Japs were able to place their big guns on the heights of that peninsula, less than three miles off, and fire at virtually point-blank range.

The results was a devastating cross fire, the fury of which was Increased by aerial bombing and dive-bombing.

The gasoline rationing registration May 12, 13 and 14 will take place In public schools and follow the general outline of sugar rationing. However, to obtain a ration card, a motorist need only present his automobile registration card. The registrar will write his license number on the ration card and will stamp It, as well as the registration certificate, so that it can not be presented another time for another ra-' tlon card. Supplemental ration cards can be obtained only through application to local rationing boards after the registration is over.

The defenders were greatly handicapped In their counter battery fire by lack of aerial observation. "Beginning on April 29, the Japanese artillery fire became much heavier and from then until May 6, there was little respite from artillery and air attacks. The artillery fire proved more disastrous than the aerial bombardment.
