22 (UP) We hurt the Japanese with the heavy assault on Manila and they tried to come back at us today. The Jar of our five-inch guns, furiously banging in irregular cadence, sounded the alarm. The Japanese were coming in for the most sustained aerial attack against this great force of carriers, battleships and cruisers, since the battle of the eastern Philippines more than three months ago. "There he goes!" someone would yell. But the words were hardly spoken before our guns barked and black puffs marked the gray- white clouds.

Below were smaller dots of smoke from 40-millimeters. In between were enemy planes just small black dots as they scurried out of vision. Several thousand yards off our port beam, a Japanese twin-engined bomber ducked into a cloud with a navy Hellcat fighter in hot pursuit. In a few moments, a string of bombs fell near a cruiser. But the cruiser gun crew had their eyes peeled.

They fired into a cloud and a Japanese bomber came out, plunging into the sea. The flight deck of the carrier was lined with crowds of curious, dungareed kids watching the show. Some officers complained, but others reasoned: "Hell, scratch an American and you'll find a sightseer." Another Hellcat pilot, Lt. (jg) Gene Redmond, 2336 West 21st street, Los Angeles, engaged a Zero head-on, both planes spitting lead as they closed in. "I waited until the last minute," Redmond said afterward.

"He was hit all1 right and then he nosed down and I went after him. I saw him into the water." There were other air battles tak ing place out of range of vision, but we were more concerned with our own fate.

Several small specks emerged from its belly as he leveled off. They were bombs, which set off huge geysers near the starboard bow of a converted carrier of the Independence class.

The admiral, captain, ensigns and seamen around me screamed in unison: "Get that!" Our guns answered the order, hammering like a drummer gone mad. Shells by the hundreds streaked at the Jap behind, above below and ahead of him. But that pilot had a charmed life. He skittered between; our carrier and a cruiser astern and was gone. Then suddenly another Japanese plane streaked out of the clouds and shot over our ship in a strafing run.

The offensive also paved the way for a link between the Red army and the Anglo-American invaders of Albania and southern Yugoslavia who were reported fighting 275 miles to the southeast. In the first initial thrust across the Danube Friday, Russian troops lopped off the 255-square mile finger of Serbia in the sharply-looping Danube below Turnu-Severin and made advances up to 10 miles inside Yugoslav territory.

The Red army was 88 miles east of Belgrade at Miroc where it was on the same southern bank of the river as the Yugoslav capital. No major obstacles stood in the way for an advance along the south bank of the river to seize the city. Meanwhile, far to the north, Russian troops opened an amphibious assault against the great islands of Estonia and caotured Muhu Island (Island of the Moon) as the first step to win control of the Gulf of Riga and seal the seaward escape from German troops being evacuated from the threatened Latvian capital of Riga. Other Russian troops in Romania widened their brideehead on the west bank of the Muresul river in their drive toward the Transylvanian capital of Cluj, and in southern Bucovina captured several towns and settlements in their attempt to smash across the eastern Carpathian mountains, At the same time, along the Czech border atop the northern Carpathian mountains.
