The enlightened decision was in keeping with the
spirit of the first amendment of the constitution and is
a timely reaffirmation of the

more pro-American than the
government, at times. Former
President Justo, who is popular
with the army, would throw
Argentina on our side if he
could stage a successful revolt.
No violence is expected, but
neither is an early declaration

Brazil has a flexible leader

Peru has 40,000 Japs, and

Filipino Army
Division Wipes
Out Invaders
MANILA, P. I., Tuesday, Dec
io iur first details; reached
here today of a battle at Ling-'
ayen beach, 110 miles northwest
of Manila, where a Filipino army
division, lining the shore with
artillery, blasted 154 motor boat
loads of invading Japanese sold
iers without letting one of them
reach land alive.
The battle lasted three days
it ocgan last Wednesday night
and at last report the Filipinos
were holding the beach and the
colonel in command sent word
to Manila his force would stand
tneir ground "to the last man:
Await Attamnt
Details were brought here by
a correspondent of the Daily
Herald. He quoted the colonel,
whom he did not identify, as
saying:
"We eagerly awaited the Jap
anese attempt to land. The ene
my showed up Wednesday night
I counted 154 motorboats In all.
We held our fire until they were
near. (The dispatch did not say
so, dui army officials believed
the Filipinos used flares to light
up meir targets.)
"Then," the colonel continued
our artillery roared into ac
tion. Most boats were destroyed.
n iew managed to escape to war
ships which must have been
anchored far beyond the horizon.
Since then the enemy has at
tempted to land but each time
he has been frustrated."
Planes Shot Down
The correspondent reported
when the colonel promised to
fight to the last man "ha was
merely voicing the sentiments of
men of all ranks whom J inter,
viewed." The colonel was said
to be convinced the Jaoanese
would never gain a foothold In
his sector.
There were reports from Daa-
upan, 10 miles east of Llngayen,
that three mora Japanese planes
were shot down today two bv
anti-aircraft guns and one by an
Amerlc.an pursuit plane pilot
who charged Into the three in.

The Philippine defenders, I

frontier on these far-away trop
leal islands, struck back defiant
ly at two more packs of Japanese
air raiders and penned up three
Japanese invasion forces In
small pockets near tho coast.
An army communique this
(Tuesday) morning said the big
Olangapo naval base on Luzon
island was bombed at 6:43 a. m.
for the second time In the war,
but that the attack apparently
was a light one.
(NBC's Manila correspondent
said in a broadcast heard in New
York that Manila had had no air
raid warnings Monday night to
break Its rest in preparation for
getting up an hour earlier on
daylight saving time. It was the
second consecutive night without
alarms )
It was announced two more
Japanese transport ships had
been badly damaged and four
more Japanese airplanes shot
down off the southern tip of
this island of Luzon, whose
northern tip juts up to within
200 miles of Japanese Formosa.
This meant after nine days of
fighting, the island and its wat-
