The Japs invaded the Philippines
on December IL, 1911. They struck
and landed at little APART, on the
northern / p Of Luzon, and on the
far southeastern coast Of the Bico1
Peninsula at Legaspi. I was back
at Lingayen Gulf that day and
when I got my report from Apart,
which was the landing which con.
cerned the North Luzon force, ! de.
cided to let them land.
They were feinting at APART.
They had hit it with a reinforced
brigade of about 5000 men, at
tempting to pull some Of my forces
up to that point and weaken the
already weak defense in the Lin
gayen Gulf region.
Besides, I knew that the only
way south from Apart was down
the Cayagan Valley. had a bat
TALON in the Belete Pass at the
base of the Valley, and dug in well
enough to stop fairly considerable
force moving down that way. So
made no deployment of my main
body Of troops, SO certain was
that when the Japs made their Sc
rious landings they would make
them in the areas where I had the
chief weight of my troops.
But the rat was in the house,
and it wa no comfort. drove
back to half wrecked Stotsenburg
that night of December IL to find
that it had been re-bombed during
the day. It was irritating as the
devil to have my headquarters an
chored at Stotsenburg instead Of
farther north. But was tied down
by my Thirty First Division, which
was over on the Zambales coast.
There was still a chance that the
Japs would strike. there, so !
couldn't get too far away from it.
But on the 18th of December I
did compromise by moving my
headquarters to the village Of Bam-
ban, about ten miles northeast of
Stotsenburg. It had a better road
running near it, and I knew that
in the near future I would be de-
pending more on messengers and
couriers than on the fragile public
phone system.

pressed belief the ministers con.
sidered, among other things, a
five-point program advanced by
high naval officers who supported
Avalos in demanding the custer Of
Peron. This program, they said,
provides:
1. Naval Minister Rear Admiral
Alberto Teisaire must resign be-
cause he has been too close to
Peron.
2. Elections must be held at the
earliest possible moment.
3. All Peron sympathizers In the
government must be rooted out.
4. The government must make
it clear that it will allow no ma.
neuvers within its ranks to make
Peron candidate for President.
5. As an alternative to these four
coalitions, the government may re.
sign and turn its power over to
the Supreme Court.

French Chain Condemned
Laval With Leg Irons
Continued from Page One)

Lavaps manuscript commended tina
he made concessions to Germany
to protect his own people.
Laval said Nazi Manpower Mini
ster julius Sauckel once fired ques
tons at him for six hours unit,
Laval swooned from exhaustion.
The questioning, he explained
was relative to efforts to round UP
more French slave laborers fol
Nazi war plants.
Laval said the Germans sent
fanatical officials to take charge
of anti-sernitic activity in France,
and that the Gestapo took charge
of Vichy's anti-Jewish and Anti
Masonic police corps. One OF the
Nazi fanatics, he recalled, eventu-
ally proved to be insane and had to
be returned to Germany.
Declaring that from his obser-
vations, ''to the Germans, war is
the normal thing and peace is an
accident" Laval said there was no
way of knowing in 1910 that the
Germans might not remain on top
as conquerors. He said he could
not know that schitler would make
that fatal mistake of attacking
Russia. which he said he thought
had cost Germany the war. ,.
If Britain had fallen to Germany,
Laval said, it was his plan
to achieve greater independence
for France by playing for the favor
of Russia against Germany, since
the Soviets and Nazis then still
were "Allies," under non-aggres'
sion pact.
Laval added that "events proved
De Gaulle was right" in moving
to London to continue Frances
fight.
He declared the armistice be-
tween France and Germany was
the cause of collaboration, rather
than the vichy-Berlin agreements
he is charged with negotiating.
eff the armistice had lasted sew
eral weeks - nay, several months,
we would not have had to SUI,
fer so many exactions and harsh
nesses from the occupiers. But it
lasted four years and we had no
power whatever. No means other
than negotiation now termed in
telligence with the enemy - to try
to dam the German rapacity and
cruelty
