«, it was no mimeographed
typewritten handout —
ju*t a penciled paragraph on a
sheet of ruled paper that could
well have been torn from a scrib-
bling pad on which his young son
Arthur might have been trying to
cows and cats: “The Bataan
went out as it would have
wished, fighting to the end its (served in a plantation bungalow 6

ing became it more than its last!'
hour of trial and agony." ]

my eyes for a mo-
respite from the blinding
"or like most of the
on deck I was looking high
the sun for the silver, speck or
black shell burst that would
the launching ef a Kami-
kaze attack.
In that moment I saw what the
general was gating at, still with
the Mine, seeming unconcern—a
torpedo heading straight for us,
the cruiser swung sharply to port.
The torpedo slide past harmlessly.
The general did not move a
muscle, or miss a pull on the corn-
cob.
Douglas MacArthur was on the
last stretch of his long road back
to Luton and to the rendesvous
, with the destiny in Manila that
ha bad sat for himself nearly three
years before—"I came through, 1
shall return."
The torpedo that had just
missed us was for MacArthur just
another Incident. Another of the
threats trivial ind grave that had
.not, therefore could not stay him
from achieving his self given mis-
sion.
A Japanese bomber crashed
flaming into the Philippine Sea a
matters of feet off the fantail of
the cruiser Phoenix a mere quarter
M of a mile away. MacArthur kept
on smoking steadily, quietly.
Another Kamikate did not miss
an even nearer eseort carrier. The
corncob silhouette remained un-
changed, unmoved.
I From
ped away
until the day nearly three yean
later on which he returned to Ma-
nila a mask of imperturbability hid
the general’s feelings when he
walked among his fellow men. He
appeared unmoved by the worst
the enemy could throw at him in
the farm of torpedoes, bombs and
snipers’ bullets as he was by the
chorus of jests and ribald rhyme
that MacArthur must have heard
and which certainly did well up
from foxhole and flight deck
throughout the Pacific at the men-
tion of “I shall return."
In the seclusion of the ivory
tower in which he lived, planned
and wrote most of the three years
between "I shall" and "I have"
returned, MacArthur’s mask rip-
ped off and his feelings broke
through for all to read—in the
restless, aelf engendered sense of
urgency to get back to Manila
that prompted him to see and an-
nounce his forevision of the end-
ing of campaigns when tens of
thousands of men could see little
beyond the Initial beachheads. And
always his feelings broke through
in the all-compelling necessity to
redeem himself and the cause he
led and lost on Bataan.
Word had reached Melbourne
soon after MacArthur's arrival in
Australia that American-Filipino
resistance had collapsed on Ba-
taan. We waited in an ante room
of the general’s hotel suite for
confirmation and reaction. When
THE DAILY NEWS-TELEOB
possible agony himself, MacArthur
appeared unmoved. Early one
morning at the height Of the vic-
ious Japanese air attacks on the
headquarters town of Tacioban,
on Leyte, an explosive bullet tore ll‘ten<d <?0- to th® ,iMt hand »c
a hole in the wall Just over Mac- fount» ot the battle had
tlys night MacArthur slip-
ly from Corregidor in 1042
Arthur’s bed. He stayed there and
finished his rest. That night dur-
ing another raid I was at the gen-
eral’s quarters seeking informa-
tion from a member of his staff.
MacArthur was seated in his
biacked-out dining room watching
the latest Bob Hops picture.
The bullet hadn’t struck home,
so was unimportant. The movie
relieved his impatience at the de-
lay in getting started on the cli-
matic Luson campaign, postponed
for two weeks,because of Japan-
ese persistence, typhoon and mud.
The Americans had little more
than a foothold In northern Ma-
nila when the press corps was
startled—as were field command-
ers and soldiers — to read Mac-
Arthur’s statement “on the fall of
Manila.” We had read before
that campaigns were In their final
phases when we thought we were
still in the bitterest part of the
fight. We were not prepared for
the ensuing censorship prohi-
bitions that virtually blacked out
the reporting of the last, tragic
act of the Philippine war drama—
no mention of the artillery, Ameri-
can or Japanese, that was pulver-
ising historical and architectural
Manila; no description of great
fires (though they could be seen
miles away);, nothing that would
tell how four American divisions
were fighting probably the most
intensely bitter battle any of Mac-
Arthur’s troops had ever fought—
just mopping and clearing up op-
erations; no atrocities, and so on
down the list of nots.
Censors and press officers knew
what was happening in Manila, the
weight of blue penciled evidence
in their "publication prohibited.'
1 made ono strong effort to en-
list the support of my fellow
"headquarters" correspondents for
a united move to break through
the censorship road block that "had
been thrown actoss the path of
honest reporting. My proposition,
stated in open press conference,
was as simple as it was drastic. I
would not file MacArthur’s com-
munique until and unless factual
reporting of the grim happenings
in Manila were permitted.
I would like an explanatory
message to the Associated Preaa.
An officer said he could not
permit me to send such a message
to the AP unless 1 first put the
whole issue direct to General Mac-
Arthur. That was what we want-
ed. I was blocked in my first at-
tempt to see the general. On the
second try I made it, with two
other correspondents who had
changed their minds overnight.
“We said we are not using artil-
lery? Who said these lan't a battlg
going on In Manila?” — the gen-
eral almost growled as he echoed
our questions in the tone of a man
outraged.
“He i MacArthur habitually used
the third person singular pronoun
in referring to the Japanese) plan-
ned to hold Manila, and he Ir put-
ting up a terrific fight.”
Block by block MacArthur
blaated away the censorship bar-
AOLERIKA
rlcade that had beer, constructed
in his name. “Go back,” he said
in a voice of command, ‘and tell
your correspondents to see every-
thing they can inlfanila, and write
what they see as they see it”
MacArthur needed convincing
on some points in our complaint.
Ha got it that night at dinner
miles from Manila. As soon as sev-
eral staff officers who had just
returned from visits to the stricken
resented at the general's table
they spoke up. MacArthur talked
and asked some questions, but
most of the time he listened.
Other officers there that night
been following from afar on maps
and in more routine reports.
Some of those officers had com-
pleted, only a few days before,
full plans for a grand triumphal
entry Into Manila. Orders prepared
were complete down to the last de-
tail of where each photographer
would be spotted, what numbers
would be played by the band im-
ported ‘for the occasion from far
to the south, where each unit and
each man would stand and when
he would present arms “In clean
battle dress.”
After Lie dinner session that
night the world began to read
about the Battle of Manila. It nev-
er read anything about a trium
phal entry.
For by the time that fierce
struggle was over some of the sol-
diers who were to have stood at
stiff attention were dead and none
of them could have produced a
clean uniform. The avenues down
which they were to have marched
were cratered by mine and shell
explosions. The handsome build-
ings around which the soldiers
were to have formed in closed
ranks when MacArthur arrived to
proclaim the liberation of Manila
were a rubble heap.
Three weeks later MacArthur
marked his official return to Ma-
nila.
Not by triumphal parade but in
a solemn ceremony in Malacanan
Palace, residence successively of
Spanish and American governors,
the first president of the com-
monwealth and the recently fled
Japanese puppet chief executive,
His ranking generals and Fili-
pino notables heard MacArthur,
after a break In his taut husky
voice, restore the commonwealth
to its own government and dedi-
cate its battered capital to be a
symbol of democracy for Asia. His
eyes misty, his right hand tremb-
ling MacArthur shook hands with
President Oamena and embraced
Senora Osmena with the almost
inaudible words: “I'm glad you
are home.’’
1 slipped out of the palace by
a side door just as the general's
car started moving down the drive-
way, lined by a Filipino honor
guard standing stiffly at present
arms. The big car slowed as Mac-
Arthur leaned forward in the back
seat and waved. He waved again
and 1 responded with something
that was a cross between a wave
and a salute. The car halted and
an aide jumped out calling for me
to come over.
MacAt tour opened the rear door
stretched out his hand and caught
mine in a vigorous shake. “We
did it, 1 told you we would do It,”
Ills tone and manner were that
of a football team captain beam-
ing his satisfaction just after
winning the big game. The car
started forward. The Filipino
guard was still presenting arms,
but MacArthur leaned bark on his
seat and threw his chin up. His '
