Walnwripht's Forces In thp Philippines. April American and Filipino soldiers who entered Bataan three months ago are sun- lanned. bearded campaigners today. Thpy'rr hard ns nails from the rugged outdoor lire they've, had to Ipad and from fighlinp thp Japanese.

They look tough and they are. My life as a correspondent ha? been inextricably bound with theirs as fighters. I've been with them day in and day nut, maintaining two hanp-outs. but, moving from camp to camp until now there are a. score of command posts where T've spent at least a night.

I arrived in Bataan with i portable radio transmitter, an automobile and a chauffeur, Julio Carpio. The radio operator has now joined the Filipino scouts. Thp army is using the radio. A bomb landed close to the automobile and Julio is chauffeuring an army officer, so hitch-hike.

I've lost, 17 pounds, but I had them to spare and I've never felt healthier. Aside from being down several days with malaria, I haven't, missed any of the show. And no bombs, shells or snipers' slugs have had my name on them. Bataan Is near the top of the world's dustiest places, and the dirt, with the heat, makes a dally bath most advisable. There are plenty of cool streams, some approaching the proportions of rivers, pnd many camps have improvised showers.

Soap is becoming such a luxury that, a small bar has great barter value, as much as the washing of a couple of uniforms. I've discovered, however, that soap, like many of the things I once regarded ar, necessities, can be done without. Rome soldiers do a presentable job of washing without, soap, but, their uniforms take a beating from hard scrubbing. Tells of Typiral Day "I usually wear coveralls, like man, in the field, and a regulation suntan uniform around headquarters. Ties have become a novelty and a crease in a pair of pants a curiosity.

Yesterday, while somewhat, more eventful than normal, was a fairly typical day. I had spent, the previous night at a motor pool, where I had paid a long overdue visit lo Capt.

We timed in KOEI, the powerful short wave station in San Francisco, Japanese jammer wasn't busy.

He wasn't, luckily. More bombers soon appeared, and we believed they were Corregidor bound. They weren't because bombs started falling all around, a few shaking our sand-bagged dugout. If You Hear Bomb, Your Alive I don't mind the. explosions so much, because if you can hear a bomb, you're alive.

But that swish- Ing sound of falling the ripping of thick an uncomfortable feeling In my stomach. Incendiaries had started a fire in the woods nearby, so we grabbed shovels and rushed off to put it out. Little damage was done. One bomb, apparently of the 500-pound variety, missed the main highway by inches and blasted a 10-foot crater. Another splintered a tree.

One Filipino soldier had nicked by shrapnel, but, he had been given first aid and was in a hospital car when we arrived, Levie had come in for signal sup- i a of in the moun- He soon started home in his command car.

Brazil and Argentine.

It was established, he said, because of German dissatisfaction with axis propaganda progress in Latin America and was to furnish a means for sending both men and materials through the British blockade. Propaganda and propaganda agents, he said, -were thus enabled to reach not only all Latin-America countries but the United States ns well. La Varre submitted a list of German and Italian representatives who had traveled to and from South America on the airline, terming it, "the most notorious record of enemies that ever traveled on any line."

April there's a knottier problem of this wnr in the Pacific than what to do about the Japanese In Hawaii, then harassed military officials of that beleagured outpost want no part of It. Figure every as suspect, and you have 159,500 of the territory's half million population as potential enemies. Give those with American citizenship benefit, of the doubt and you reduce the number to 35,183, which Is still enough to populate a sizable city. It's a nice problem that authorities are trying to untangle as an possibly of the war with Japan.

Many thinking islanders consider wholesale evacuation as impractical and ridiculous. Employment of tough tactics might un- dermine the morale of the majority of loyal Japanese. Yet. liberality might let the wiliest workers slip through the net. 1 Until that December morning when Nippon's planes blasted Pearl harbor, the loyalty of Hawaii's Japanese was principally a matter of academic interest.

'i Gave Jap Sailors Hearty U'olcoinp Local Japanese held parades when Japanese warships came to town, proudly escorted (he Nip- panese sailors to Honolulu points of interest, which more than once i overlooked Important military ob- jectives. Citizens now ruefully re- i member the smirking little sailors I in cheap cotton blithely i snapping pictures from city heights. But the first bomb on Pearl liar- bor was the signal that sent half! dozen spy-hunting agencies into ac- tion. The Honolulu F. B.

I. led the pack, flanked by army and navy intelligence officers. They were joined by the newly-organized es-! pionage division of the Honolulu police, by military police and the shore patrol, immigration officers' and civilian agents. Directing the roundup was Robert L. Shivers, F.

B. I. chief for Hawaii I and a G-man of 19 years' exper- ience. He did the job so smoothly that most Honoluluans weren't' aware of the drive. No one o.utsiclo i the authorities knows how "many.

aliens the net brought in or what i was discovered. Shivers isn't talking for publication. There isn't much doubt that the No. 1 name on. the F.

B. I. suspect list was chubby Nagao Kitta, Jap- anese consul in Hawaii. While bombs were still falling he was found tending a brisk bonfire of i official papers in the consulate bathtub. Recently the F.

B. I. picked up! Keizaburo Hirano, alien owner of; the Honolulu Gold Exchange com- pany, and former Japanese army lieutenant who came here from California five years ago. For failing i to report possession of maps show- I ing naval and military establish- ments in California he was fined $5,000 and sentenced to five years I in jail. His household equipment also included cameras, binoculars, swords and a shortwave receiving set.

The government net spread on Dec. 7 brought in bankers, doctors, fishermen, storekeepers, taxi cross-section of the Japanese community. They were Quickly herded across Honohilu har- bor to a low island where they lived in tents, army style, on army rations. Many of the first catch were released with bills of clearance. Contrary to reports, none was executed.

Those released nre now living at home under rules set up by Lieut. Gen. Delos S. Emmons, the Islands' military governor. They must not possess fire arms, shortwave radios, cameras, binoculars.

They may not earn or spend more than $200 a month, or exchange, property, or go out at night. All carry registration cards. Gen. Emmons has closed the prosperous Yokahama Specie and Sumitomo banks and banned all but two of the Japanese language newspapers, which are operating under strict military censorship. Many of the fishing sampans were seized a year ago, but what remained were tied up and their crews detained.

The military governor has urged friendliness toward the Japanese not in custody. Most Islanders have grown up with the Japanese (80 per cent of whom are American- born offspring of the original colony of immigrant sugar workers) and they are ready to be generous. A few have dismissed all Japanese business and household employes, thereby adding to an already serious economic plight. The Japanese were the masters of small business in Hawaii. Today their contractors find the prewar building boom gone.

Rationing has all but closed their gasoline stations. Their liquor licenses were revoked after (lie two months prohibition following Pearl harbor. Timorous folk won't eat in Jtapane.se restaurants. The fishing industry i.s at a standstill. Many Japanese Have Joined Up Ironically, too, the Japanese community suffered the heaviest, civilian casualties in the Dec.

7 bombing. This has added lo the resentment of many local American-born Japanese who already had given token of their anti-Nippon sympathies. Hundreds of them have been drafted for military service, and have enlisted. Recently 150 Japanese students from the University of Hawaii offered their services to Gen. Ernmons, and were marched off as Hawaii's first labor i battalion The older Japanese, too, have suffered embarrassment by the action of their far eastern cousins.

Shame still shows on many of iheir faces when Dec. 7 is men- I tioned. It's going to be a long, luckless war for the Japanese in Hawaii. They are all on the spot because somewhere among their 159.500 are those whose faces are immovably turned west toward the "Rising Sun."
