240 nm. howitzers firing from Ba-

made our lives He'll.
The Bataan peninsula is covered
with a dense, tropical growth
whose trees often stand more than
100 feet high. Enemy batteries
under those trees employed smoke
less powder and were therefore al
most impossible for range-find-
ers to locate. On the other hand,
Jap observation posts atop the
LOO foot Mariveles mountains
near the tip of Bataan, as well as
Jap observation balloons and
proving aircraft, made it easy for
their gunners to correct their fire
on our batteries and other critical
targets.
It was a dishearteningly unequal
artillery fight, made more unequal
by the fact that our batteries were
under almost erpetual attack by
enemy bombers. Some of the Jap
planes were dropping bombs as
heavy as a ton, certainly no aid
to careful craftsmanship on our
part.

which in no Way can convey the
terror and the morale-rotting which
the Jap artillery batteries visited
upon us. No place on the Rock
was suitable haven except the
inner recesses of Malinta tunnel,
and we could not fight back from
the tunnel, nor could it hold more
than a fraction of our men and
women.
Four of their artillery hits stand
out especially in my memory of
those helpless days and nights.
One shell hit a Marine company
mess while the men were lined up
for their meager suppers, killing
and wounding IS of those gallant
fighters. Another struck in the
midst of a group of men on Fort
Frank assembled to receive an in
incubation. The third hit the enlist

trance to the tunnel.
But the one that scored directly
on Battery Geary was perhaps the
worst It wiped out not only the
gunners but also broke up seven of
the IL heavy mortars capable of
firing at Bataan. Another was Sc
verely damaged. Gen. Moore and l
went to Battery Geary Immediate
ly after the hit to survey the dam
age, which clearly showed the tre-
mendous power of the Jap shell.

guns had been picked up like

because of grim bit of symbolism

few minutes.
The flag flew from a 1O0-foot

Rock. During an intense lombard
ment from one of the enemy's 240

a shell fragment struck the pole
and cut the halyard.
Slowly, terribly, the flag began
to descend down the pole as if
drawn by some ghostly and pro-
phetic hand, and most of those
crouchlng IN their batteries ana
holes looked at it as if it were
the very sign of our doom.
But as the flag came down the
pole and neared the ground three
men raced to the bottom of the
shaft in the midst of the furious
Smelling. They were Capt. Brewster
G. Gallup, T-Sgt. Ezra Smith and
a Philippine civilian named Hon

armsful of the falling flag just be-

AUSTRIAN REGIME
GAINS RECOGNITION

VIENNA, Oct. 20.-(P)-The pro-

recognized officially today by the
governments of the United States,
Great Britain, France and Russia.
At the same time its authority,
which had been limited to the Rus
sian zone of occupation, was ex-

DR.. Karl Renner, chancellor of
the provisional government, was
informed of the decision at meet
ing of the Allied Control Council
which he was invited to attend. He
expressed his gratitude in the
warmest terms.
Earlier this week Renner had
charged that delay of the Allied
powers in recognizing his admin
istration was holding up the solu-
ton of vital economic problems
and was threatening to result in
