Of Last Bataan Stand

arrived from Cebu with cameo
goods and rations. 1t came through
the mine field around Corregldo-
and quietly surfaced.
Subs Unload Food
But Just as our hunger-weaken'
ed men began to unload the food,
the japanese spotted the sub and
bombers attacked it. The sub east
off its lines, submerged and went
out beyond the mines, where it lay
on the bottom the rest of that
night and all the next day. The
following night, by which time it
was joined by the second subma-
rine, and the Japs had Brought
guns down to the tip of Bataan,
one of our minesweepers shot its
way past the Jap guns and got to
sea. The subs surfaced and the
food was quickly placed on the
minesweeper, and the little ship
shot its way back to Corregidor
through the Jap guns again.
But the men on Bataan, who
had prayed for that food, never
tasted it. At about 6 a. m. April
@, three hours after last speaking

Col. Traywick, came to me to re-

fortitude. was soon to find out
that it is not easy for an American
to surrender.
But had my orders from Mac
Arthur not to surrender on Bataarl,
and therefore I could not authorize
King to do it. But King was on
the ground and confronted by a
situation in which he had either
to surrender or have his people
captured or killed piecemeal. This
would most certainly have hap
pened to him within two or three
days.
A terrible silence settled over

If there is anything worse than

exhausted. That was Bataan on
the night of April 9, 1912.

On April 8 I sent Coils. Pete
Irwin and Galbraith to King
headquarters on Bataan to arrange
for three battalions of the Forty
Fifty Infantry to fall back to Cor
regidor, in order to stiffen gu:
defenses on The Rock. Irwin ana
Galbraith saw King, who sent the
necessary order to the l Corps.
Barges also were arranged for al
Mariveles to pick up the men:
Col. Doyle, of the Forty-Flfth, ana
his staff came down to Mariveles
after making all arrangements
for their men to follow them.
But the men became snarled on
the TANNED roads and never maze
it.
Through King ! was able, how
ever, to arrange for the proper
medical officers on Bataan to get
the nurses to Mariveles, prepaTa-
tory to moving them across the
short but vital stretch of water to
The Rock.
News All Bad
I contacted Kings headquarters
repeatedly during April 8, and
the news was all bad. Parker's
II was being rolled back as one
might roll stiff rug. There was
no stopping the Japs on that SIDE
of Bataan. In a last-minute effort
to relieve the pressure on the east
contacted Gen. Jones and o.
dered his I Corps to attack. But
some Of his men actually dropped
from exhaustion as they moved
forward.
That night of April s the nurses
were bundled into a barge, ana
tug lowed them to Corregido-.
You may talk all you want OF
the pioneer women who went
across the plains of early America
and helped found our great ma
ton. They were, indeed, the won
drous mothers of our land. But
never forget the American girls
who fought on Bataan and later
on Corregidor. They had no train
ing in pioneering hardship; their
had been a life Of conveniences
and even luxury. But their hearts
were the same hearts as those of
the women of early America. Their
names must always be hallowed
when we speak Of American
heroes.
The memory of their coming
ashore on Corregidor that early
morning of April 9, dirty, dishev-
eled, some of them wounded from
the hospital bombings-and every
last one of them with her chin up
in the airs a memory that can
never be erased.
Beebe and I sat up all that night
of April 8-9 in the tiny sitting room
which Beebe had built for Mac
Arthur in a recess of the Malinta
Tunnel. l was on the phone most
of the night, telling Kings head
quarters that Jones was to attack
with some of his I Corps units
and to send other units to the sup
port of the more oppressed II
Corps; trying to spring the Forty
Fifth's battalions out of their
snarl, and talking to hard-fighting
Brig. Gen. Clifford Bluemel, who
was personally directing the last
stand along the river line north
of Cabcaben.
I last spoke to King at 3 a. m.
April 9. He did not mention sur
render. My last order to him was
to launch counter-attack at
dawn.
Kings last combat action, in
answer to that order, was to
throw all of his reserves into the
battle, down to the dismounted
Twenty Sixth Cavalry and his En-
gineers. He even ordered his anti
aircraft gunners to abandon their
guns, and sent them forward to
fight as infantry.
Of all nights, when even food
had lost its meaning, that was the
night one of the two submarines
