American' defenders of the Philippine islands fought off reinforced Japanese invad­ ers with tanka and guns today on two main battlefronts but the Manila area was bombed intensively.
Although the Philippine capital had been declared an
>0R and undefended city, lere were six air alarms be­
fore dusk and enemy squad­ rons battered heavily a t the ; K>rt area and nearby military argets. Tokyo already had
broadcast a refusal to recog- ni20 Manila as undefended.
