Japanese Retreat,
Swim Out to Sea

Believe me when I say he did
not effect this withdrawal with
out paying staggering price,
since most of the Withdrawing
Japanese soldiers swan out to
sea after abandoning all of their
weapons and divesting themselves
of all of their clothing. 1t is
doubtful that many reached the
line of their own friendly forces.
I might add that the forces at.
lacking this west coast were ap-
parently the pick of the japanese
imperial forces in the Philippines.
From prisoners it was learned that
all of these soldiers were volun-
teers for the duty.
1t was a suicide job, even in
their opinion, and we. the air
corps, did our best TO convince
TOTO that il really was that.
/ had never considered the jap
anese soldier superman, since he
appeared to me 10 be stupid. mo-
rose and sullen. merely obeying
orders and doing what he was told
to do even though that sent him
to certain death.
However, l could not help but
develop a certain grudging admit
ration for the individual japanese
soldier who took part in the at
tack on the West Coast.

Airmen Given
Infantry Weapons

On Bataan, at least during the
early stages of the defense, the
supply of small arms and ammuni.
ton, as well as artillery and ar
tillery ammunition, was ample
The supply was sufficient to equip
all air corps troops with the usual
complement of foot soldiers
weapons.
In a short time our air corps
troops were considered TO be
among the best of infantrymen or
the peninsula.
As a matter of fact the air
corps, both American and Filipino
with certain scout units. bore the
brunt of and believe were
credited with, the decisive victory
over the Japanese landing forces
on the west coast of Bataan.
This action took place during
late January and early February
and lasted for a period of about
three weeks. On the first night OF
these operations, the Japanese
succeeded in landing a small force
of troops on the west coast OF
Bataan.
At that time the west coast was

All Air Fields
Well CamOuflaged

All of these fields were well
camouflaged and included facilities
for the complete concealment and
protection of such aircraft as still
remained 10 us.
I point with pride 10 the fact
that from the day that we arrived
in Bataan until that fortress fell
to the japanese early In April not
a single airplane was destroyed on
the ground by the japanese air
forces.
Such aircraft as were lost were
shot down in aerial combat over
Bataan and behind the japanese
lines or were damaged in crashes.
When Bataan fell. there still re-
NAMED a reasonable portion Of
the original aircraft which we took
there with US.
Unfortunately the small huber
of airplanes which remained after
our withdrawal 10 Bataan were in
sufficient to employ all the air
corps units then in that area.
Certain squadrons were rotated
from time TO time in the opera
lions of these aircraft. The re-
OF the air corps, which
constituted the bulk OF these units
and personnel. was organized into
ground defense units. In other
words, we became infantry troops.

Infantry Training
Proves Valuable

At this stage Of my career, ]
found my early training as an
infantry officer 10 be of inestim-
able value. My own air corps or
CARNATIONS were form I'd into
provisional infantry battalions and
were allocated for duty to the
three fronts on Bataan.
These three fronts included the
north line, and two beaches on
the east and west coasts OF the
peninsula respectively.
Since these units were rather
widely separated, / divided my
time between the three places, de-
voting the greater portion of my
time and energies TO training and
bolstering morale among troops.
Upon our organization into in
fantry units the bulk of our air
corps troops were entirely un-
trained in the use of the usual
infantry weapons. We established
training centers back of the lines,
including rifle ranges, bayonet
courses, ct cetera.
Since most of the combat ac-
tivities occurred during the hours
of darkness, we spent most of our
daylight hours in these improvised
training areas directly in the rear
of each sector.

corps troops inasmuch as IL was
considered doubtful tina the
enemy could force landing at
that point, due TO the rugged
character and outline of the
shoreline. The entire area con-
sists of precipitous cliffs covered
by almost impenetrable jungle.
In his first surprise attack,
therefore, which came during the
middle of the night. the Jap sue
ceeded in landing perhaps one-half
of his force, the remainder having
been killed or driven back by our
defense forces.
l doubt whether the exact num-
Der that succeeded in effecting a
landing that night was ever
known. Thereafter. almost nightly,
attempts were made TO reinforce
the enemy beachheads. and most
of these attempts were partially
successful.
However, the number of troops
the Jap was able to land nightly
usually about balanced his attri-
ton during the daytime. due TO
the excellent craftsmanship of the
air corps infantry.
1t is doubtful whether. during
the period, the strength Of n e
japanese beachheads ever in
creased. After about three weeks
of such operations. the enemy
decided TO withdraw from the
west coast.

Foe Seems Happy,
Takes Punishment

He was willing to punish him
self far beyond the comprehension
of the average white person. Dur
ing engagements in that area he
appeared to be cheerful, laughed
and equipped a great deal. con-
stantly attempted to. play practi-
cal jokes on the opposing forces
and appeared to get as much kick
oN of successful raid as we.
When captured, he was flippant
and did not appear to care much
what was done with hin--this. at
least, when first made prisoner.
Afterward, due to kind treat
ment, the attitude of the prisoner
invariably changed. He had been
told that 10 fall into the hands of
the Americans meant torture and
perhaps a horrible death. When he
found out that this was not true,
his attitude changed greatly.
Al the time of the withdrawal a
small amount of coastwise ship
ping was taken TO Corregidor and
remained hidden in various har-
bors under the protection OF Cor
regidor's guns.
Early in February a number of
these boats began running the
japanese blockade and several
made successful trips TO central
and southern islands, returning TO
Corregidor with rice, meat and
other much needed food and med
ical supplies.

Repeatedly Blasts
Dead detectives

Instead OF attacking our lines of
communications. the enemy con-
tinued to expend his bombs. am
mupition and energies in repeat
eddy attacking the dead and buried
detectives which he had neutraliZed
in the first three or four days OF
the war.
1t was apparent that the Japa-
nese did not learn of General Mac
Arthr's intention to make his
stand on Bataan rather than in
Manila until our entire force had
successfully withdrawn and Gen.
eral Macarthur had declared the
city of Manila and its environs an
open city.
The United States and the Phil
ippine army air corps arrived in
Bataan along with the last OF
other military units during Christ
mas week. There still remained a
number of PAGE and PISA air
craft as well as a miscellany of
Philippine army training planes
and some small civilian transport
airplanes.
Despite the fact that persons
who are acquainted with the Phil
ippines may have believed that
landing fields on Bataan Peninsula
are an impossibility due to its
rugged geographical contour and
jungles. at the time we withdrew
to Bataan there were ready for
occupation, or nearly so, five land
ing fields suitable for operation of
most types of military aircraft.

Your country needs every biz Of old rubber you
can dig up. and IN may overt gas rationing!

. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has asked every
American to get into this Scrap Rubber
Drive. Here's real opportunity for you
to help speed the day of victory. Turn in
your old rubber and help give the Axe
to the Axis"
And also remember, this drive may
avert gasoline rationing. The need for
this rationing in the Middle West is based
not on shortage of gasoline but on
need to save tires for possible future war
use. If enough scrap rubber is provided
by this drive, nationwide rationing Of
gasoline may be avoided.
The petroleum industry has offered its
thousands of service stations as conven-
lent collection points during the drive.
When you bring your scrap rubber to
your Standard Oil Dealer, or to any other
