Book
Lovers

We've become accustomed to
stories of French and Czechoslova-
khan and Russian guerilla fighters.
Now we're beginning to hear about
Americans who have carried on un-
foreground work against the Japan
csc in the Philippines.
The first account of the American
guerillas who fought in the Philip
pines to be published in book form
is "Leyte Calling :" by ieuten-
ant Joseph r. st. John, as told to
Howard Handleman. When the
Japanese we're overrunning the
islands, Lieutenant st. John and
nine other men got hold of sail
boat and set off for Australia The
boat capsized off the eastern coast
OF Mindanao, and they were res
cued by Filipinos who looked after
their needs with a thoughtfulness
and generosity of spirit that was
revelation to the men.
st. John joined forces with the
USFIP, the United States Forces in
the Philippines, made up of the
remnant of the American Army.
Their chief job was to organize re-
sistance on each of the islands, so
that MacArthur's work could be so
much easier when he returned.
His own daring contribution was
to send information to our forces
by tiny portable radio. His re-
ports, submitted to our submarines,
resulted in the sinking of many a
japanese vessel. He also provided
data invaluable for our invasion of
Leyte.
Incidentally, the Book = of the
Month Club selection for May will
be American Guerrilla in the Philip
pines" by Ira Wolfert, the story of
Lieutenant Tiff David Richardson
of the U. S. Navy, who also fought
two and a half years with the
Philippine underground.
In his book, Brazilian Literature,
Erico Verissmo tells the fable of
the jaguar that asked the cat to
teach him how to jump. The cat
obliged, and after his last lesson
they took walk together. Present.
ly the cat, who was hungry, saw a
mouse passing by and bounced on
the poor little creature. The jag
uar. who was hungry too, took ad-
vantage of the situation and jumped
on the cat - only to have the
greatest deception of his life. The
master. with the rapidity Of light
ming. jumped backwards, and the
jaguar, missing him, fell squarely
on the ground. THAT is not fair"
complained the big animal. "You
did not teach me that trick" The
cat smiled quietly and said, "A good
teacher never teaches all his tricks,
my friendl"
