A few months later he was or
dered to the Philippines for duty
as commander of the Philippine Di-
vision. Since the japanese attack,
as the right-hand tactician under
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, he has
been given the difficult task Of de-
Tending the Lingayen approach to
the capital which has been the
scene of desperate artillery and tank
actions. The japanese are using
the gulf shore, ITS miles beyond
Manila to bring in reinforcements
almost daily from TRANSPORTS.

Wainwright have the utmost faith
in him as a tactician IF he is
beaten it will be because he is out

of them said last night.
