west bank of the bridge, which
was captured intact, over the

JAP BOMBERS
HIT AT YANK
SHIPS AT LEYTE
By MURLIN SPENCER
GEN. MacARTHUR’S HEAD
QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP
PINES, Nov. 29.—(AP>—Japanese
torpedo dive bombers swarmed
down on the Americans and their
warships and transports off Ley
te today, in the gulf there, in the
heaviest of this kind of raid since
the re-invasion of the Philip
pines, it was disclosed today.
On the same night U. S. des
troyers negotiated the treacherous
waters to shell Ormoc, in their
first penetration on the Philip
pine inland sea.
j Action took place on both sides
; of the island, where storms had
stalemated all ground action, it
; was reported.
Gen. MacArthur announced in
his communique that the enemy
planes were boring through an
intense ack-ack fire from the
warships and had attacked units
which included a battleship with
unspecified damage.
He acknowledged that swift
American destroyers were getting
over on the west side of Leyte,
and had to pass through the |
straits, which are in the hands
of the Japanese.
Dean Shebler, Associated Press
correspondent, who is on one of
the destroyers, said that the
small force boldly shelled Ormoc
from close range ror three hours,
blasting installations both in and
around the vital town of the Nip
; ponese in the Leyte gulf.
The raid cost the Japanese 13
| planes, which were destroyed by
ack-ack fire and two by fighters,
amounting to half the attacking
force of the Japanese planes.
