(Once again the headlines proclaiming Allied successes are completely false. Since Mar. 13 only two Japanese cargo ships (transports) had been sunk, one by a submarine one probably by a Dutch aircraft. A third ship was possibly sunk, but Japanese records on this are unclear. The only Japanese warship sunk in March of 1942 was the small minesweeper W-2, which was sunk on Mar. 1 for unknown reasons. In a post-war assessment the Japanese do not list any ships damaged by Allied causes in the same time period. Keep these figures in mind while reading the headlines on this page.) |

Note the report in column 8: "Card Rationing Of Gas to Start In Six Weeks" |
Also note the report in columns 2-3: "First Leg of MacArthur's Trip Reported Made by Torpedoboat" |
(This was true, in fact, four PT boats were used to evacuate MacArthur and a number of other high-profile people. MacArthur, his family and four officers were taken out by PT-41 under the command of Lt. John D. Bulkeley, who was later awarded the Medal of Honor for other unrelated actions in the Pacific.) |
