WITH GEN. MACARTHUR S
FORCES ON BATAAN PENN
SULA, March 5 Delayed When
are those P-40's going to arrive to
raise hell on the other side of the
line?"
That was the question, without
exception, put to me by the wounded
in an outdoor base hospital that I
visited today. I was unable to an
swer that one, but I heartily agreed
with the idea.
Col. J. w. Duckworth, from San
Francisco, told of an incident where
he took piece of japanese shell
fragment from a soldiers wound
and discovered it was a small United
States sewing machine screwdriver.
1t evidently had been mixed up with
some old scrap iron Japan pur-
chased in the United States before
the war.
While the roar of dive bombers
and pounding of artillery is quiet
momentarily, Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's Philippine and American
troops are kept busy day and night
with various activities on the penin-
sula and on the fortified islands in
Manila Bay.
Under the glare of a tropical sun
I took an all-day trip to various
organizations on Bataan, making
short thumb rides over the dust
! covered roads. Leaving the road
and going down pathways, I cut
through the thick forest and came
out at one Of many motor pools.
Buried deep in the vines and foliage
stood huge American-made trucks
and cars undergoing checkups and
repairs ranging from little air for
the tires to complete motor over
hauling.
Out on the road again I got a ride
for few kilometers in a station
wagon driven by Capt F. H. Stone
cifer of San Francisco. We said
farewell at a roadside signpost read
ing: "Tokio-3,000 miles"
/ walked into well-Secluded
camp to be greeted by Capt. Lee
Stevens o. Manila. He showed me
through his "CP" post commando
which was one of his own buses.
In a couple of weeks I'm going
TO drive this rolling Office toward
| Manila" he said
Chatting with wounded Filipinos
1 found a sincere faith and trust
| in Gen. Macarthur and his staff
They were all anxious to return to
the front to evenge the enemy's at
tack on their homeland and families
Weeks of war have made those peo-
pie determined to fight to the bitter
end and drive out the japanese.

Frederick Ludwig and five of his

by the Government as the core of a
far-reaching Nazi spy ring, were

the plotters, will be called for sem
tence next Friday, the 18th, with

terms.
An all-male jury deliberated only

turning their blanket verdict in the

victory for the cause of justice and
democracy" Referring to Ludwig s
recruiting his aides from among
German American citizens here, Mr.
| Correa declared:
That an espionage ring such as
this could enlist any such basic
American citizens is a totalitariar
/ innovation resulting directly from
indocrination of these people with
the principle that loyalty to theil
fatherland comes first, irrespective
of any allegiance they may owe t.
any other country by virtue of ma
turalization."

Although Washington needed

der the guidance OF a group OF So

arrangements, indicate complete
ignorance on the part OF the willing
women OF the prerequisites OF rec
reation.
The supervision and conduct oil

apparently OF the highest type, Is

This is one of the greatest lacks
