MACARTHUR HAD
 NARROW ESCAPE
(continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D in the night" the official story said. "The party expected three Actresses but only two arrived.
 Tt was decided to put the entire party into the two planes and make the run for Australia. Baggage, arms and equipment were aban. doned and the party took little more than the clothing they wore.
 "The planes took of about mid- night, March 16. The fortresses lived up to their reputation, flying strongly and steadily through the night"
 The official story emphasized:
 "Gen. MacArLhur did not escape from Bataan.
 "FIe came through greater task, and filed away another order which had been successfully completed"
 The official story said also that the four patrol torpedo boats in which MacArthur and his party left the Philippines had been sponsored by MacArthur himself for defense of the islands, because they could operate in the shallow, narrow island waters.
 MacArthur persuaded navy tech- nicians to adopt the type of ships which enabled him to break through.
 One of his boats, the leader, was piloted by Capt. John Duncan Buike- ley, 30, Long Island City, one of the first American heroes of this war. He piloted one of the boats in a daring raid on Cubic bay and sank a big Japanese transport.
 The official version of the break follows:
 "The powerful motors of four Pr torpedo boats shattered the silence at dusk outside Corredigor as Gen. MacArthur and his party, complying with presidential orders, started their hazardous journey through the Japanese lines to report to a new command in Australia.
 "A race against time and dark ness had begun. Capt. Bulkeley WA0 0t eAAC WAA&@A g4 taA~ @~N@ANe~~C torpedo boat as the close formation roared into the darkness.
 After three months of blackout the party saw automatic light houses flashing.
 "'We go with the call Of the moon; we so during the Ides of March" MacArthlr commented.
 "The party saw shore signal lights flashing air raid alerts when they heard the speed boat motors.
 Big winds and heavy seas bounced the speed boats, making 1t impoS- sible to stand. Everyone was soaked to the skin. Many were violently sea sick.
 "The boats kept well together sin- til early morning. Then they be- came separated, struggling into an island rendezvous"
 It was then that MacArthur was nearly fired upon, when one beat was disabled. the party considered waiting for a submarine.

and wheat growers, f a c
with the odd situation of sell.

less than the government
loan value on the same grain, Sat
urday were applying in wholesale
numbers for the loans.
The county committee of the
agricultural conservation association
reported that 80 applications for
wheat and barley loans already had
been received, and the total is eX-
pected to exceed 200 within the
next few weeks.
The government has two ap-
praisal loan values on each of the
two crops, both higher than the
actual price currently offered by
grain dealers, but lower than the
quoted market prices.
On barley, the committee can
make loans of 60 cents per bushe!
when the grain is stored on the
farmers own premises, and SO cents
when stored in community approved
warehouses removed from the farm
Loan value on wheat is $110 per
bushel stored on the farm and $1.27
per bushel when shipped to Los An

In both instances, the loan value
is below the prevailing market
quotation. but actually above the
prices offered by dealers. Why this
