report on casualties on either the
American or Japanese side.
MAC ARTHUR Is BUSY
Macarthur. he indicated, has
been too busy fighting to furnish
the department with detailed bulle-
tins on the progress of the battle.
However. Mccoy said that indica-
tions were that American casual
ties have not been "unduly heavy"
and that Japan has lost consider

Arthur.
Macarthur himself, Mccoy
said, is In the field Mt the side
of his troops, directing their
operations In person.
Macarthur reported "the morale
and determination of the American
and Philippines troops are high
and they may be counted upon to
continue their resistance with skill
and courage"
1t was apparent that Macarthur
and his men were selling their lives
as dearly as any American fighting
