The stations have requested that parents and children should not call the radio station by telephone to get closing information, but are to listen to the scheduled broadcasts instead.

On Dec. 9, MacArthur's chief signal
officer, Brig. Gen. Aiken came to Stotsen-
burg to inquire what needed in the way Of
communication equipment. My own signal
officer, Josh Stansell, semiexplosively
pulled out of his pocket carbon copy of

before.

shook his head He handed it back.

So as Of Dec. we had only the public
telephone and telegraph system for our
communications, and our borrowed and ap-

lopsided buses to sports convertibles. We
had no navy and no air force beyond the
reconnaissance P-40s.

terry and Philippine Scouts outfits were the
only efficient combat units we had.
I DROVE up to Lingayen Gulf the next

My post was half wrecked.
Worse, the bombers had sighted that

against paratroop landings and had wiped
out a distressing number of men and
horses, including some of my only seasoned
men.
