 MacArthur's "voiee of freedom" radio in the Philippines broadcast to the Filipinos 0 special eommuni- que In which he paid tribute to their invaluable assistance in the now achieved re-lnvasion of the islands,
 The special announcement, Te- corded by the FCC, disclosed that the silence over the Philippines after the fall of Corregidor was broken by Q radio signal late in the autumn of i942,
 "That signal. weak and spotty as 1t was, lifted the curtain of silence and uncertainty, and disclosed the start of 0 human drama with few parallels in military history" Mac- Arthur said. "fn 1t recognized the spontaneous movement Of the Filipino people to resist the ShaeSles with which the enemy sought to bind them, both physically and spiritually.
 T saw Q people in one of the most tragic hours of human history, bereft of oil reason for hope and without material support, endeav. oring despite the stern realities confronting them, to hold aloft the flaming torch of liberty. I gave this movement All spiritual and material support that my limited resources would permit"
