Hope In Hearts
NV Junior officers and the young
men, filled with the God-given
optimism of youth, fought with a
raw of hope in their hearts that
things would take turn fo- the
better. But 1 could see in the eyes
of the senior officers the thing
that was in my own heart. They
knew, too.
l prayed that the Navy planes
would make it, to take out at
least some of those brave girls.
Never have women worked as

ans of Bataan. worked in Malinta
Tunnel. Many of the Bataan vet
Grams among them, including
wounded girls, told me that while
thew were grateful for even the
little safety of Corregido~ they
would have preferred to stay with
the men on Bataan and been cap
tured with them.
On April %, 1 think it was, the
Japs finally got part of me.
On more occasions than I can

of my car on tours around The

spent as much time as l could
with the wounded, giving them
what small comfort I could ex-
tend. And those visits to the hos
pital made me determined that l
would get as many of the nurses
away from Corregidor as was
humanity possible.
1t was not easy to do. The Japs
now had a firm hold on the islands
lying athwa~t our escape route to
Australia. So radioed Mac
Arthur and got from him the
promise that he would order his
only two Navy flying boats to at
tempt to get to Corregidor and be
used as escape planes. Mac
Arthur also wanted certain valu-
able personnel removed from The
Rock to his Australian headquart'
ers. He sent me a list of their
names, and left the rest of the
selections to me.
Believe me, it was hard list
to make up. 1t is not an easy
thing to be a judge of whether a
man or woman will 60 fee or
stay in Hell. Atop this was the
worry over whether the planes
would ever reach Corregidor.
Our plan was fo- the two Navy
flying boats to fly up from Aus
tralia, alight on Lake Lanao in
Mindanao, refuel, and come the
rest of the dangerous way under
cover of night and to set down
close enough to the mine-infested
Rock to enable us to load our
people aboard in hurry.
But as the days dragged on the
moose to the South frightened and
the Smelling of Corregidor and the
waters around it-night and day
made me wonder if the whole plan
! was not outrageous.
On April rs I received a mes
sage from halfway around the
earth, from a land as battered
and besieged as our own little
world. Gen. Sir William George
Shedden Dobbie, Governor of Nal
ia, radioed:
"People of Malta send their
warm greetings to the gallant
defenders of Corregidor. They
have watched with profound
admiration the magnificent
fight you have put up which
has been q great inspiration
to us all. You are giving I'M
told assistance to the Allied
cause.
"God grant you may soon
reap the fruits of victory"
I replied:
"The officers and enlisted
men on Corregidor deeply ap-
preciate the sentiments ex-
pressed in your message. In
our efforts to contribute to the
common cause of freedom for
which the Philippine n
American troops are now fight
ing we are inspired and en-
couraged by the historic stand
which has been made by the
gallant defenders of Malta.
"With Gods help, both our
peoples shall soon join hands
across the seas in celebrating
the return of freedom to the
democratic nations Of the
world"
And I meant it. But I knew il

1erps Given Day Off
After Strenuous Toll
For Virginia Game

Maryland's football squad, looking
to the all-important battle with Vir-
ginia at Grifiith Stadium Saturday
afternoon, was given a day off yes
terday after indulging IN lengthy
Iscrimmmage Friday that was fin
ished under the lights.
Not all of Maryland's best players
got into Fridays fracas, as warm up
in sprints at the end of the field
were all that some of them could
stand. However, the only man def
initely out of the clash with the
Cavaliers is Vic Turyn, tall quarter
back, who not only is suffering from
an injured shoulder but also has
been troubled from the flu. He ap-
pears through for the season, as it
does not seem possible for him to
even get ready for the tilt with
South Carolina at Columbia on De-
cember /.
Joe Drach, tackle, and Bill Polling,
halfback, of the outstanding per-
formers are the least likely Old Line
regulars to see full duty Saturday,
although both should figure in the
game to some extent. 1t all de-
pends upon how their injured legs
come along this week.
Bill Greer, the 145-pound back
and the lightest man on the squad,
stood put in the scrimmage Friday,
running for repeated good gains.
In fact, both teams showed some
what better on attack than they did
on offense. They'll doubtless get a
lot of drilling this week against that
smooth Virginia T attack. Virginia
has been secuted plenty and all of
the Maryland kibitzers are sweet on
