pistol and killed four of them single

Then our men withdrew. 1t was the

thing we had, to hold whatever we had.
THE Jap had showed his hand by now.
He would not strike near the Zambales
coast. So I asked Macarthur to release the
31st Division from my command and to
give me the Dist, lock, stock and barrel.
1t had only been attached to me; not
mine. Word came back to me from Manila
that Macarthur approved, and at the same
time came Macarthur order for my north
buzon force to hold the enemy north Of an
east-to-west line running across the mar
row coastal plain 50 miles below Vigan at
San Fernando la Union.
There was only one way south for the
Vigan landing forces. and that was
straight south down the coastal plain. The
mountains on their left and the China Sea
on their right blocked any other route.

The 26th got up to Damortis and hit
the Japs landing there, and others coming
from the north, with all it had. With little
more punch and fortune the 26th might
have sprayed the Japs all over the coastal

POLITICAL PARADE
BY George Rothwell Brown

IF CONGRESS were in session
Il when President Truman re-
turns from the Berlin confer
ence he probably would make
a report, either in person or by
written message. He may give
many important details of the
meeting with Atlee and Stain
TO some close congressional
friends, but formal contact with
Congress as a whole will not be
possible until October. and there
are things that cannot wait that
long.
Chief among the points Of
deepest concern TO Congress is
the Presidents attitude toward
the permanent ownership, in full
sovereignty, of certain strategic
island bases in the Pacific which
have been taken by American
arms, and which are now occu-
pied by American forces.
This question must come to
a showdown in Congress when
the question of implementing
the San Francisco charter is
taken up.
Notwithstanding Cha | IMAM
Connally's opinion that the
President has full constitutional
power 10 create the office TO
which the American delegate TO
the security council will be
appointed. and that legislative
action by Congress is not essen
tial, nothing is more certain
than that Congress will stand
on its rights in the matter, and
break with the President IL
necessary rather than surrender.
TIE Senate debate on the
charter revealed that the ad-
ministration is under moral
obligation to recognize the con-
gressional authority. which was
thoroughly discussed.
Every implication in the de-
bate pointed TO the essential
cooperation Of Congress in de-
filming the powers of the Amer
ican sovereignty over Pacific
bases, deemed by the navy to
be vital to our national security.
Congress is overwhelmingly
on the side of the navy. This
may imply certain lack OF
faith in the efficacy Of the char
ter of the United Nations 10
maintain peace throughout the
world. There are certain safe
