My food situation had been increasingly prejudiced by the great number of civilians who had fled into Bataan with our army forces. The Japanese had craftily furthered this movement by driving the frightened population of the province of Zambales, just north of Bataan, into our lines, knowing full well we would feed them a humanitarian measure which cut deeply into our food I had to establish refugee camps back of our defense positions for many thousands of these forlorn people, mostly old men, women, and children. It forced me to cut the soldiers' ration not only in half, but later to one-quarter of the prescribed allowance.

At the end ne were on 1cm than a thousand lalories a ddy. Everywhere was that poignant prayer, "Givt us this day our daily bread."

She planned to return to the east lata Sunday night in order not to miss her performances todav in the Broadwav hit 'Hello! Dolly." On arriving, Miss Channing, accompanied by her BY DOUGLAS MARTIIUR Installment II No one will ever know how much could have been done to aid the Philippines if there had been a determined will-to-win. There was certainly an effort made by the War Department to obtain supply ships and crews.

My old friend, Maj. Pat Hurley, now a brigadier general, was sent to Australia, and Col. John Robertson to Java, but the results were negative. Only three cargo ships reached the Philippines, two at Cebu and one at Anakan, on the north coast of Mindanao. Since no significant naval effort was forthcoming.

I regrouped my forces on Bataan into two corps. The North Luzon Force now became the I Corps under Gen. Wainwright and occupied the left perimeter, and the II Corps, formerly the South Luzon Force under Gen. Jones, came under the command of Gen. Parker, and held the right Marines In Resen The 4th Marine Regiment, which was under the control of the Navy, was not committed to tha heavy fighting on Bataan, being held in reserve for the actual defense of Cor-regidor, itself.

Fighting became heavy along the entire front and the attacks by enemy bombers almost ceaseless. My anti-aircraft ammunition began to dwindle alarmingly, and I was forced to reduce this typa of firing to little more than a token effort, with occasional bursts for purposes of deception. The water system and n.d'.ns on and our adjacent fortified islands were practically destroyed, and I had to institute rationing. It was apparent that tha enemy was setting up a prepared Goldwater Not Eligible, Says Publication Ifcej Yjrft Hwr NEW YORK An effort will be made this week by the editors of a local magazine to keep Sen. Barry Goldwater off the Presiden tial ballot in tha November election.

Tha editors of FACT magazine, announcing their intention to file suit in Ne York New Jersey and Cali fornia, said Sunday that the Arizona Republican is not constitutionally eligible to be President. "Mr. Goldwater was born in Arizona territory on Jan. 1, 1909, and Arizona did not become a state until 1912, Warren Boroson, FACT'S managing editor said. Constitution Cited Article II, Section Clause 4 of the U.S.

Constitution clearly states that 'no pe son except a natural bom citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at. the time of the adoption of this Con stitution, shall be eligible to the office of President." Boroson said that a team of attorneys headed by San Francisco lawyer Melvui M. Belli, who was Jack Ruby's chief defense counsel during his trial for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, Pres-i i Kennedy's accused assassin, was preparing papers for motions to enjoin the secretaries of state in the three states from placing Goldwater's name on the ballot. The papers will be filed Wednesday. Held Ineligible Boroson said that while the constitutional clause at issue had never been liti gated, "every constitutional scholar that we have talked to says that a literal reading of the Constitution leaves no doubt but thrt Goldwater is not eligible to be President.

FACT'S editors described the publication as a "crusading bi-monthly devoted to issues which affect America's destiny. They also tagged it as "non-partisan." American soldiers crouch in tha destruction of tha garrison. Our headquarters, called 'Topside, occupied the flattened summit of the highest hill on the island. It gave a perfect view of the whole panorama of the siege area. As always, I had to see the enemy or I could not fight him effectively.

Europt Put irst Reports, no matter how penetrating, have never been able to replaca the picture shown to my eyes. The Filipinos, even us the smoke pillars of their burning villages dotted the land, were being told that Europe came first. Angry frustration, for citizens and soldiers alike, irritated bruised nerves and increased the sense of heartache and loss. And the enemy, night after night, in the seductive voice of "Tokyo K(e," rubbed raw the wounds by telling them over the radio that defeat and death were to be their fata whil America's aid went elsa-where.

Extremism Dead Issue He said Humphrey is a member of Americans for Democratic Action, which he said should be called "Americans for Socialistic Action." This association, he claimed, had "effectively killed the question of ex tremism in the coming po-i litical campaign.
