accusations at random.
One Filipino who helped the jap
anese find 5000 gallon chache Of
gasoline and was rewarded publicly
for that deed later was reported
to have been shot for failing to
locate additional supplies.
There have been few anti-Japan-
ese demonstrations in Manila be-
cause Of the fear of reprisals. But
there is said to be widespread hatred
for the invaders and their puppets,
such as Emilio Aguinaldo described
recently in Washington as "a sort Of
Philippine Quisling") and Artemio
Ricarte (mentioned in Toxic broad
casts as having returned to Manila,
perhaps to set up a government)
Food and money are extremely
scarce in Manila, with almost the
only supplies coming from looters
who raided warehouses and stores
after the American Army evacuated
the city. Rice-when available
costs Is cents for a package which
cost cents before the war. A single
match sells for Is centavos.
Jap Appeals Ignored.
The inhabitants are said to be ig-
noring japanese appeals to return
to work, and the city'S business and
industrial life is dead, with Japanese
bazaars the only stores that are
open. One bus line and the trolleys
are running, but only five or six pri-
vate automobiles are allowed to op-
crate.
People wander about the streets
every one is indoors, although the
Japanese-imposed curfew does not
go into effect until 10 o'clock.
Americans are allowed the free

University during certain hours.
and their former servants and other
employees are allowed to bring them
a little fruit every four days.
However, treatment of the Amer
leans seems to depend on the whims
of the sentries, who sometimes for
bid the male internees to shave for
a certain number of days.
Americans over so and women
with young children are reported
to be living in their own homes but
to be short of food and money.
The japanese publicly proclaim
their friendship for the Filipinos
and stress their asia for Asiatics"
compaign. But the effect Is lost by
frequent acts of brutality on the
part of the sentries. The most re-
cent of these reported was the
bayoneting of a 7-year-old boy who
committed the offense of walking
behind q sentry instead of in front
of him. The boys father was said
to have been bayoneted when he
tried to recover the body.

commander of the Philippine Scouts,

Try to, Swim to Safety.
Some Of the japanese soldiers
tried to swim north to the safety
of their own lines, but were killed
by rifle fire from the shore.
Previous attempts to dent Gen.
MacArthur's left flank also have
been shattered, and on the few oc-
casions when the japanese succeed
ed in landing they were wiped out
completely except for the few who
were wounded and taken prisoner.
The final mopping up of the West
Coast battle-ground where a jap
anese suicide battalion landed last
week resulted in a count of almost
400 japanese dead, not counting
those buried by the japanese during
the fight.
The last japanese took refuge in
caves along the shore. When all
else failed, American soldiers tied
sticks of dynamite with short fuses
to the ends of long bamboo poles
and tipped the dynamite into the
caves from the cliffs above.
Five Enemy Planes Downed.
The American airforce had one
of it's best days yesterday, downing
five and possibly six enemy planes
while losing only one of its own.
An observation plane, piloted by
Capt. Jesus Villamor, took off on an
observation mission escorted by
several P-40's with American pilots.
When the planes were returning to
their base, six enemy fighters ap-
peared and were attacked by the
American planes.
The planes split into small groups
and the dogfghts continued for more
than half an hour over Corregidor
Manila Bay and Southern Bataan,
where thousands of soldiers got brief
glimpses of the action as the planes
flashed in and out among the clouds.
The guns of one American plane
jammed and Japanese got on his
tail But another American pilot
dived on the japanese, who crashed
into the bay. One Japanese plane,
which made a forced landing on a
field north of the American front
lines, promptly was destroyed by
American artillery.
Capt. Villamor completed his mis-
sion and landed safely.
165 Aircraft Destroyed.
The army command announced
that up to February 8 it had con-

the issuance OF commissions in

Scarcity Of Tin Blamed

war material, tin.
BY one of the bitterest ironies
Of fate, il was the commercial
greed of the British-Dutch tin
cartel. with its enormous influ-

is largely responsible for the
scarcity Of this metal.
This & gan &c international
trust manipulated production

the eve of the war was about 80
cents a pound. the average value
of tin imports into the United
States being approximately So

Handbags No Bar

HODIFICATION of seective service rules, TO permit
wi induction of with physical handcaps which do
not represent actual Interpretation will meet with general
approval.
II will probably be welcomed with genuine
satisfaction by the men involved than by any else
From the start of this war. recruiting stations and
induction centers have had frequent and unhappy
experiences with eager and demonstrably able to
serve efficiently the armed forces but barred from the
uniform of their country by fixed rule which amounted
10 little better than prejudice.
This has always resulted in keen disappointment to
the unfortunate individuals and often in undeserved
humiliation
MOREOVER it has rejected a class of entirely
wi competent for wide range of military duties not
related combat service and has frozen into those
duties considerable part of the armed establishment
physically qualified for the front lines
A double mmobilization has been the consequence
of this unreastc poicy-an immobization of the
physically impaired without appraisal of their capacities
and immobization of very large number of physi
caly sound for a multitude of military duties
mote from but essential to the fighting front.
This is the harder to understand because prejudice
against physical handicaps has long since been almost
entirely removed from American industries trades and
professions.
IT HE time is long past when misfortune of birth or
accident arbitrarily casts a human being into indus
trial, professional or social discard
People with impaired vision hearing, even with
mperfections of body and limb usefully and
competently engaged in nearly all American enterprise
They do not ask need odds concession to their
condition.
They adjust themselves according to the nature of
the handicap and learn trades and acquire sls to which
the handicap detrment and neither feel sorry for
themselves nor expect sympathy or advantage from
others
Surely, this takes courage the part Of the handi-
capped individual. He may be compelled to forego
in field for which he has particular liking
aptitude. His pursuit of training and experience may
be restricted to a choice of second bests'
If any of these things is true, he is conscious of
being apart from his fortunate fellows and is
sensitive of that fact
u UT thousands of his kind these very real
- barriers, and have them with in all walks Of
life and in all fields of endeavor, and they acqut them

There is good reason, and there has never been

They WELL and often better, fitted for tasks

And to bar any loyal and capable American from

The and commendable policy, therefore, of ad.

is not merely wise utilization of available power
but correction of injustice.
