Cars are now driving on the right side of the road for the first time in our history. Heading home for a rest but intending to come back soon is guerilla leader Lt. Col. Bernard L. Anderson. The 31 year-old air corps officer escaped from Bataan and headed north to the Sierra Madre range, where he met up with nine other Americans. Filipinos began to show up until the group had 60,000 signed guerrilleros and 9,000 arms. They killed several hundred Japanese, but turned to sabotage and intelligence gathering when Japanese retaliation targeted innocent villagers. "We moved our headquarters frequently but no Filipino ever betrayed us," he said. A few were tortured but didn't crack. His group rescued 26 American pilots and evacuated 19 of them by submarine. "The People Would Like to Know" goes an Editorial. Among the five questions asked: (a) What did OsmeƱa accomplish in Washington? (b) Why did the Tydings mission leave after only five days? (c) What did the Philippine Government in Washington do during its three years there? . . . . |
