Over the Wire

(March 5, 1942--By United Press.)

WASHINGTON--Gen. Douglas MacArthur's amazing little band of airmen appeared tonight--in one smashing blow--to have avenged" with compound interest" the death of every American soldier and sailor who perished at Peal Harbor.

The War Department revealed that "thousands of enemy soldiers" were believed drowned or killed in yesterday's surprise raid in Subic Bay in the Philippines when five Jap ships aggregating 30,200 tons were sent to the bottom.

Today MacArthur established that three of the vessels were transports--"loaded with Japanese troops."
