On the subject Of war. Listen
to Louis Morton writing of
Bataan in THE War in the
Pacific:
THE story Of the last two
days Of the defense of Bataan
is one Of progressive disinte-
grafton and final collapse.
Lines were formed and
abandoned before they could be
fully occupied. Orders were is
sued and revoked because they
were impossible Of execution.
Stragglers poured to the rear
until they clogged all roads
and disrupted all movement
forward. Units disappeared into
the jungle never to be heard
from again.
"In two days an Army evap-
Grated into thin air"
This is what was observed by
the Philippine Embassy yester-
day in concentrating the
tragic fall Of Bataan 81 years
ago today.
The program, at the Smith
sonian Institutions Arts and
Industries Building. involved
speeches and the offering of a
floral tribute at the "Corregi-
dor Rock" which was given to
the Smithsonian by the Philip
pine government in 1851.
But before Corregidor and
the grim looking symbolic rock
there was the horror Of Bataan
"a three month nightmare
shared by $4,000 Americans and
Filipinos that officially began
on January 7. 1912, exactly one
month after Pearl Harbor.
Defensively Ideal
The Bataan peninsula in the
Philippines is formed by the
southern heights of the Fam
bales Mountains. Ideal for de-
fensive warfare. 1t is jungle and
mountainous with deep ravines
and two extinct volcanoes.
Today. a million people live
there. Yesterday. to be there
meant death or q Japanese
prison camp. And for some 1t
was the terror that history
books were TO call the Bataan
death march.
For one general the late Ed
ward p. King. jr., Bataan meant
surrender because he could not
obey an order and sacrifice his
men to wholesale slaughter.
On corregidor, an island just
off the Bataan peninsula. an
other general the late Jonathan
Wainwright, was trapped in the
chain Of command.
And somewhere in between
these two men were the troops
who still found q way to sing:

Uncle Sam:
"No duntS, no uncles, no
cousins, no flieces;
mo pills, no planes, no ar
ttllerv pieces:
g. And nobody Otues a
damn"
The supply situation on Ba-
taan was incredible. The food
shortage was so disastrous that
the search for nourishment be-
came more important than the
presence Of the enemy.
Bataan was constantly being
strafed by planes and shelled
by artillery. There was no
clothing available and the
starving men staggered about

RumOrs Of Help

Even after the surrender, the
men of Bataan were still pass
ing around rumors of the story
book reinforcementS that never
came.
Instead, the nightmare of
Bataan was to be followed by
"even greater privations and
deeper humiliation than they
had yet suffered" wrote the
historians.
1t was time for the ghastly
death march" to the prison
camp. Clubbed, beaten and
bayoneted, they underwent
atrocities too hideous to re-
member although they had
learned the right to be treated
with consideration and de-
cency."
Four weeks later Wainwright
surrendered Corregidor and met
King in a prison camp. For
six months the sweeping jap
anese tide had been halted in
the Philippines. This" wrote
the historians, was the real

TUSON--There were eight
very special ladies' at the banquet
of the / 11h Town and Country Life
Conference al The University Of
Arizona.
You could identify them by
their special smiles.
They were happy because they
were being singled out for faith
fulnesS to the conference, which
has won favor from leading women
all over the State of Arizona Each
has attended four sessions of the
conference.
Now let us hasten TO name the
honorees:
--Abbie Bittner of Globe, ella
county, a member of the Pinal
Mountain Homemakers Club.
Annie Warchman of St. Mich
aels, Apache county.
Evelyn Bencenri, also of St.
Michaels, Apache county.
Edna Green of Wilcox,
Cochise county, member of the
Sulphur Springs Homemakers.
Jewell Lewis of Florence,
Pinal county, member of Tum-
bleweeds Homemakers.
MARY Marshall of Phoenix,
Maricopa county.
Garnet Miller of Wilcox,
Cochise county.
Lois Pappin of Yuma county
Each of the ladies was handed
certificate of recognition for
attending four sessions of the con-
ference, which was developed by
the State Advisory Committee for
the Town and Country Life Con-
ference in conjunction with the
Cooperative Extension Service in
Agriculture and Home Economics
OF the uniVer Sity.
The hOnOreeS were among some
300 women who took time out from
their household, farm, ranch and
business duties TO attend the
five-day conference.

the table decorations BY the women
of Cochise and ella counties and
the favors by the women of Apache
county.
Don't get the idea that there
were only eight smiles al rfe
banquet This is far, far from rhe
truth
True, sonc showed signs OF
WEAKNESS from the busy five-day
conference, which sent the ladies'
from one university building 10
another all day long all five days.
But there were reasons for
many, many smiles. For eachrrek
from one building 10 another was
a journey into another world. AT
each meeting they heard top ex-
perts in their fields explore such
complex problems as mental i'll
ness, how rc make your money
work for you. how to get your
moneys worth out of meat, the
maladjusted child, how false nmri-
tion claims are gypping Americans
om of huge sums Of money and
how 10 organize for dynamic group
action.
These constituted practical,
doWn-tO-earth training in how TO
solve the many problems of
Space-age living.
There we're moments OF great
beauty, too.
Among the Sc were intimate
discussions of the "earth's peo-
pie" (NavajoL 'Diamonds in
Your Own Back Yard" playing the
musical instruments, flower az
rangemenrs, water coloring, and
the beauty of Indian art.
The women used the occasion
to organize new statewide organ

Council They had decided year
ago thar the organization was
needed and had worked all year
drafting bylaws TO create and
regulate their new brain hid.
Delegates from each county
acceped the bylaws of the or
