CORREGIDOR
The jungle is erasing all traces
Of Wainwright's famous last stand

MERE is rock in Manila Bay, u miles west
L. of the city, that is called Coregidor. Once
it was proud and mighty fortress Men said it
was invincible. It wasn't. Today it is only
tadpole shaped rock with score of wrecked coast
artillery batteries and some bomb shattered ruins
1t is populated by variety of animal life, 80
Philippine Scouts and one American Lieutenant.
Foot by foot it is slipping back into the clutches
of its rightful owner - the jungle.
First Lieutenant William 'Hankins is in COM
mand now where General Wainwright made his
last stand His function is to try to keep things in
repair, to show visitors around. The Army runs
daily boat to the island which delivers supplies
and dwindling number of tourists.
WHAT impresses the tourists most are the bones:
bones of Japanese, bones of Americans. 1t is
somewhat startling as one moves along to see,
hung from tree limb at the roads edge, mans
thigh bone, field shoe, and an American helmet.
The explanation is that they have been found by
patrol, and put on view to be collected.
Every once in while patrol discovers grave
in the Jungle A path is cleared to it, so that
graves-registration party can get to the scene
COrregidor is larger than you expect, and
much of it is jungle. Giant iguanas and bob
cats roam it unmolested. Lieutenant Hankins
and his men battle manfully to beat back the
invading vines and jungle growth, to keep the
roads clear to the gun emplacements, the ruins of
General MacArthur's house, the barracks that
were once the largest in the world the hospital and
of course the entrance to the Malnta Tunnel -
where the men who defended Coregidor made their
last stand fought and died until the final surrender
The northwest entrance to Malinta Tunnel is
blocked off by heavy wooden gate. 1t is kept
closed because of the danger of falling rock When
light is flashed inside you find out why.
Great sections of the concrete reinforcing the
roof have broken loose and fallen to the floor of the
tunnel Even as one looks there may be dull,
fiat thump somewhere back in the darkness to-
ward the hospital entrance.
Il don't permit visitors to enter the tunnel"
Lieutenant Hanlins says. Il don't think any
more Americans ought to die in there

| Two Men Killed
Flying to View
| Explosion Scene
BY the Associated Press

STAUNTON, Va, July 30.-Two
men flying to view the scene Of the
Harrisonburg explosion were killed
Yesterday when their single-engine
plane crashed in Bells lane several
miles from here and burst into

and John Stump of Route /, Green
vile, an employe' of Mr.. Showker.
The plane was owned by Richard
S. Showker, brother of the dead
pilot.
Oficials at the Verona Airport
said the plane took off yesterday
afternoon for Harrisonburg.

went down on farm property OF
w. r. Moore the motor seemed to
be skipping and the pilot was trying
for a landing. The ship struck two
telephone poles before hitting the
ground. 81

Charter for Home Rule
To Be Prepared for
House in December

A charter proposing home rule for
the District government is expected
to be ready for consideration by a
House District subcommittee by next
December.
Chairman Auchincloss Of the Home
Rule and Reorganization Subcom-
mittee announced this after meet
ing of the group and its staff yes
terday afternoon.
DR.. George Galloway and Clarence
Pierce, the committee staff, will
screen the mass of testimony pre-
sented to the subcommittee during
almost a month of daily hearings,
Mr.. Auchincloss said. They will pre-
pare preliminary draft of a charter
so the subcommittee can have 1t
available before Congress meets in
January.
The plan is to introduce bill
early in the next session providing
for some form of home rule and re-
organization of the District Details
remain to be worked out, but Mr..
IAuchincloss has indicated the sub
committee favors simplification first
of the present commission form of
government, and a charter for an
elected city council, which would
choose a city manager.
