Who Fought Gallantly
By ROGER D. GREENE
Associated Press War Editor
Corregidor's big guns still
blazed defiance in Manila bay
today, and the Japanese re-
ported at 6:30 a. m. Eastern
war time, that hostilities were
continuing on Bataan penin-
sula itself, despite previous
assertions that Lieut.-Gen.
Jonathan M. Wainwright’s he-
roic defenders had "begged”
for a truce.
Domei, the Jap a,n e s e news
agency, said. Japanese vanguards
were pressing forward against
American and-Filipino positions on
the peninsula and had captured
the towns of Limay and Lamoa on
the East coast, capturing several
thousand prisoners.
At his united nations headquar-
ters in Australia, Gen. Douglas
MacArthur, the hero of Bataan’s
first successful defense, com-
mented:
"The Bat— force went out
as it would have wished—
fighting to the end of ite flick-
ering, forlorn hope.
“No army has ever done so
much with so little, f
“To the weeping mothers of •
Ite dead, I can only say that
the sacrifice halo of Jesus of
Nazareth has descended upon
their sons and that God has
taken then unto himseif."
Thus Gen. MacArthur signaled
the end of the long, desperate
struggle against hopeless odds as
Bataan's surviving defenders con-
tinued the last stages of resistance.
