WASHINGTON. Jan. 31-R)
General MacArthur's army
braced itself in the mountains
and forests of Batan today
against a sixth major assault by
japanese hordes in 20 days of
siege.
Contemptuously ignoring a
demand for surrender, the Gen.
eral held his American and Fill
pino troops alert for a great
new Japanese offensive. He gave
no indication of where he ex-
pected the full weight of the at
tack, but his statement yesterday
that it was coming PARALLEL the
predictions he had made on the
ewes of other major Batan en-
gagements.
The temper of his warriors as
the zero hour approached was
shown in a communique issued
late yesterday.
It told how General MacAr-
thur and his troops paid no at
tention". Troops, "occasioned
much mirth among the Filipino
soldiers, who are continuing
their resistance with loyalty,
courage and resolution"
