April 9. INS Slowly, painfully came a voice of one whose frailty had been sorely tried, yet yielded nothing. Mrs. Adele wainwright, wife yD so STOCK HOLM, April (UP) The third anniversary of Nazi occupation of Norway and Denmark today found the people of those countries still resisting the Danes under threats of reprisals and the Norwegians by staging their annual stay-at-home demonstration. Every report from Denmark told of new German demands on that country.

An informed traveler said Gen. Hermann von Hanneken had delivered ultimatums to the Danish government requiring that sabotage be stopped and control of Danish industry and business be delivered to the Germans. It was believed these demands the Philippines has written the follotcing dispatch. BY MANUEL QUEZON. WASHINGTON, April 9.

(UP) The epic of Bataan will go down In history as a symbol of American! and Filipino solidarity. i The Filipino fought because they I had faith in America and in themselves. They fought because they loved freedom and they knew freedom was worth dvine for. That i BUY WAR BONDS "Instead, I can only talk to you now over this telephone. My faith and courage are as strong now as they were in early 1942 when those Americans who defended Bataan and Corregidor in the face of starvation and a numerically superior enemy clearly proved that our cause must prevail." A long pause followed.

"I wish only to say soniething on faith and love kept them fighting in the face of overwhelming odds, end even after their physical endurance had been reduced to a minimum by hunger and sickness. One year has gone by since the fall of Bataan. but the soul of the Filipino people has not accepted defeat, nor have they lost faith in the United States. They know the day of liberation will come, for the United States is pledged to drive the enemy from their homeland, and America never has broken her word to them. Thousands of Filipinos now are being trained in California to take part in the reconquest of their country and thev are eacerlv this day that might convey to America my unaltered conviction that the defense of Bataan was not of Lieut.

She is too 111 to take part in the ceremonies being held in connection with the epic defense of the Philip-line stronghold, directed by her husband after Gen.

MacArthur went to Australia. Her telephoned words were her means of communicating with the world on this significant day; almost an attempt, it seemed, to reach the barbed wire compounds of Formosa to her husband and his men. She said, with quiet determination, wish to talk. There are things I meant to say today, but which I cannot in public because my throat is sore and I have a heavy cold. I particularly wish to talk to you.

"It was through International News Service that I first learned my husband was alive and safe. That was on December 1 of last year. The Red Cross also brought me indirect word from him. There has been nothing else, only silence. "But that's the way it is with a soldier's wife.

And I have no complaint with that; only a sense of irritation with myself that I should fall ill at this time when I wanted to glory, with the rest of America, in the struggle her men put up on Bataan. I had meant to be in Syracuse last night at a dinner, honoring their heroism. After that, I was to take a train to New York to be present at the ceremonies at the Brooklyn museum. WASHINGTON.

This, he said, means complete defeat of Jap forces. Asks Bombing of Japan.

Rep. Hamilton Fish N. meanwhile, told the house the best ay to commemorate the anniversary is to provide Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur with men and equipment to bomb Jap cities and to conduct an all-out offensive in the Pacific. Fish said he hoped there was no truth to reports that President Roosevelt has called off a nationwide commemoration of the battle of Bataan.

-Such action, he said, "would be Incredible in' view of the heroism and sacrifice of our troops there against terrific odds." One year ago today a fresh, well-fed and completely equipped Jap army, knowing all the odds were heavily in -its favor, drove in for the kill on Bataan Peninsula. The American and Filipino defenders half-starved, enfeebled by fever, dysentery and fatigue, their ammunition exhausted gave way. The battle of Bataan was over. For nearly four months, the men who finally died or were captured on Bataan had been inflicting heavy casualties on the Japs and throwing their timetables of conquest completely off schedule. Those men lost the Philippines and saved Midway, possibly Hawaii.

In holding off the Japs four months putting a brake on the blitrkrieg which took Hong Kong, Malay, Singapore these men gave the United States time to gather its strength, pour men and arms into Australia, and establish the string of island bases from Hawaii to the Antipodes which made possible the latter triumphs of the Coral Sea, History Survey Continued From Page One money.

The former commander of the would be submitted to the new Riksdag (parliament) meeting April 15 and would be rejected.

In that event, Hanneken was expected to order dissolution of civil government and impose occupational control similar to that in Norway. Some believed the Nazis may have staged the recent wave of sabotage in Denmark to get an excuse for such action. As they have done the last two years, all Norwegians except the Quislings perhaps 30,000, of 1 per cent of the population stayed at home except when they had to leave on business. The British radio said Vidkun Quisling, puppet premier of Norway, had been compelled to call. Norwegian police from the eastern front to quell rising resistance at home.

The Norwegian underground asked all patriots to stay inside after 5 p. leaving the streets of cities and towns deserted. The Quislings probably will hbld their regular April 9 celebrations. There may be disorders. The Norwegian occupation has been different than that in Denmark which has been comparatively mild.

The Germans officially have admitted 157 executions in Norway in three years but claim few Nazi conversions. The Norwegians refuse to associate with Germans and find many ways quietly to sabotage industry and slow down production. OW1 Praises Norse Fighters WASHINGTON, April 9. (UP) The Office of War Information last night commemorated the third anniversary of the invasion of Norway by paying tribute to the 20,000 native Norwegians and 1.000,000 American-born citizens of Norwegian descent now fighting the Axis. Attention was drawn to the Norwegian merchant marine, the Norwegian air force's Canadian training school, and the help Norwegian-Americans are giving our Norwegian allies.

Norwegian seamen, to a man, went over with the merchant marine to the Allied side, and not a single vessel followed the Nazi order to proceed to Axis ports after the invasion, the report said. At the time of the invasion, 24,000 seamen joined the United Nations. Of these, more than 2,000 have been killed. Some 4,500 have transferred to the Norwegian armed forces, and 16,000 are still manning Norwegian boats. The report said everyone at the Royal Norwegian Air Force's school at little Norway, Canada, fled his native land.

Many, it said, are Norwegian boys who were less than 14 years old when they first shouldered guns against Hitler. MacArthur, who sajd "I shall come back" when he arrived in Australia to carry on the fight on March 17, 1942, commemorated the anniversary of the fall of Bataan by stating: "I was the leader of that lost cause, and from the bottom of my stricken heart I pray that a merciful God may not delay too long from whom the purchase was made jrniiippines, are not merely philosophical theories, but sound and practical rules applicable to all people.

Joaquin M. Elizalde, Philippine resident commissioner, caiied upon his countrymen in a special statement to keep working or fighting for ultimate victory "the perfect tribute to the heroes of Bataan and Corregidor." "One year does not seem so long for us to look back in perspective but if the strides that have been taken since the fall of Bataan are any indication of the shape of things to come, we shall soon be well along the many roads that lead to Tokio," he said. On April 9, 1942, when the War Department here was announcing later to confirm that the exhausted troops on Bataan had been "probably overcome," there were on the bloody, malarial, 6welteringly hot peninsula 35,000 American and Filipino combat troops, a considerable number of supply and other noncombatant forces, and 25,000 civilians.
