This great symbol of Amer ican and Filipino courage and preserverance is crumbling in to ruins, forgotten by all but the few remaining men who helped defend it. It is a neglected shambles of weeds, rust - and ghostly memories. Eighteen years ago - on May 7, 1942 - Gen. Johnathan Wainwright surrendered Cor regidor to the Imperial Jap anese army, which had crushed the defenders of Ba taan barely a month before. Today, the great guns point silently toward the South China sea. The shells remain neatly stacked and unfired. For, as was the tragic case at Singapore, they were em placed to shoot in only one di rection - to the sea. The Jap anese came from the rear, on Bataan, and Corregidor's "im pregnable" guns were help less. Small Detachment There is a small detachment of the Philippines navy on Corregidor today. Its members live with their families in a little village near the old stone wharfs and guide an occasional visitor through the giant underground tunnels in which hundreds of thdusands of artillery shells are stored. At the highest point on the fortress island, a lighthouse serves to guide ships into Manila bay. Below, overgrown by the jungle, are the rows of gutted barracks left, more or less, as they were those 18 years ago. Fats nest in. smashed G.I. footlockers. Lizards scurry over rusted steel helmets. It is as if the battlefield was frozen into sudden silence a decade ago and the world locked out. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's hillside headquarters (he later moved into the tunnels beloW) still stands intact, a few scraps of faded paper fluttering on the bulletin board. The once carefully mowed parade fields are waist high in weeds. Scattered about are parts of weapons, smashed helmets. There are many shallow graves. There are many hu man bones. Atop a small pole, near the deserted tunnels, is a sun bleached skull of some forgot ten soldier - an American, Fil ipino, or Japanese? No one knows. It stares starkly at the silent sea. Deep in the moulding tun nels, on the walls of what once were the hospital wards, are written farewell messages scrawled on the stone with pencils or chalk and, appar ently in some cases, with blood. They are signed by men from West Virginia and New Jersey and little villages throughout the Philippines. These were the immortal Filipino scouts and the Na tional Guardsmen and the regular army, who made the last stand. Patlerned Wool Slacks Making News for Spring What's new in lightweight wool slacks this Spring? Pat terned wool slacks, for one thing, are now making news. They're a bright addition to every man's wardrobe, and they go nicely with sports coats. You'll find patterns galore. Houndstooth checks, stripes, glen plaids, district check flannels. You can chose be tween bold and muted pat terns. You'll see them in conserv ative Ivy styling, which Is cor rect for young, slim men in the 18 to 30 bracket, and for family men there is the smart Continental styling. Regard less of age, you'll find a style that looks best for you. Ivy slacks this season are cut more trim and tapered than last year. Pleatless, they're worn cuffed. Comfortable-Fitting Continental wool slacks in 8 ounce tropical weights spurt new angle to last year's front pocket - and a button! The Continental's single pleat trousers offer a more flatter ing look for mature men. Men slightly on the portly side will find single pleat wool worsted slacks give them an air of slimness. Since Continental slacks also come beltless, active men will find them more comfortable-fitting around the waist line. Side tabs are adjustable, will keep slacks up, neat look ing. Cuffs are recommended. And, be sure to look for that new label informing you of "permanent creases." This will mean less pressing bills for you, and here's why: This new process permanently im pregnates crease into wool. It works like a home permanent. Wol trousers with this pro cess retain their press even after a drenching April show er. You'll find "permanent crease" labels in many well known brands, and in all styles-Ivy, Continental, Western. There has been talk, and reports, for several years about plans to build a great memorial here to these men. Two years ago, in Washing ton, a bill was passed in Con gress authorizing $7,500,000 for this purpose. The Senate, however, failed to act on it and the bill has been re-introduced in the current Congress. Emmet O'Neal, chairman of the Corregidor-Bataan memor ial commission, has asked con gress for $398,000 to keep the commission alive for another year in hopes the Corregidor memorial will be authorized by then. Plans Not Pushed Filipino leaders - and Cor regidor is now part of the Philppines republic - are not pushing the memorial plans. Several weeks ago, a group of leaders, including military representatives, loured "the Rock." Their main interests however, were proposals to develop Corregidor as a money-making tourist attrac tion. "The Rock" is only 22 miles from Manila and is a pleasant two-hour boat ride. But, far, no regular scheduled ferry service is available. Written permission is required from the Philippines Navy and guards will fire warning shots at uninvited intruders This is the result, in part, o periodic raids made on Corregidor by scrap metal scavengers. They have, over the years, stripped "The Rock" of many of its price less relics. Periodically a minor scan dal blows up in Manila news papers after bands of looters and thieves make off with metal and explosives. Then, it is generally forgotten. Rep. - 1,623 (1,714).
