Toni
g
ht's bulletin from the Philippines
announces the capture of
a place,
the name of
which
won't
mean much to most of us -- unless we have
phenomenal memories. Abucay -- an obscure place
which
deserves a place in history because it was there that
,
■ en
MacArthur's
aa■■ir
s
established the ea
,
3
t ern anchor of
their first defense line in the battle of
Bataan.
Those were tbe dark days
of
January Nineteen Forty
Two.
The defense line based on Abucay was the scene
of
the
struggle that was to become famous in the annals of
Aaerican heroism -- the
f■f■■a■ x ■f ■
defense of
Bataan.
lell, today American troops captured Abucay after an
advance of eleven miles down the
Bataan
peninsula.

~hat Nazi Germany took one of

Taking advantage of the clear weather, they operated

British Prime
Minister Winston
Churchill
stopped off at Athens, the country he visited a few
weeks
ago in
an effort to stop the Greek Civil
War.
That effort w
s
successful ana today, Churchill found
Athens in a state of peace and
q
uiet. Addressing the
Athenians, Churchill declaimed a bit of his best English
prose, no doubt in consideration
of
the classic
literary tr

state~ to the Athenians, "e will march with you to
the ends of the dar

we reach
the broad
highlands of justice
and
