La Vanguardia: "Germans Sink Battleship Roma", but we know most of the fleet made it to Malta. "Mussolini Rescued by German Troops" — paratroopers. Locally, the Tee-Han-Kee assassins were executed.

Snapshots of Manila under occupation: A couple of boys herding a flock of goats through Santa Mesa. A cart on automobile tires loaded with scrap being inched painfully up the Santa Mesa Bridge by six struggling men. Lots of small offices and buy-and-sell shacks — one does bicycles, shoe repair, groceries and miscellaneous. The two by four-foot "Theo R. Manufacturing Company" shack under the bridge with a working lathe. The nouveau riche buy-and-sell crowd spending in the Astoria. Penny and I watched two start with malted milk and cake, move on to sundaes and more cake, then one finished with a coffee while the other picked his teeth — Schaer can pick 'em from a mile away. The gigolos are gone. Sharkskins are scarce. A guy's shirt and pants had more patches than original material — I couldn't tell if he was kidding or not. Cars and buses stuck on the road, some being towed. Twenty people dashing from carretela to carretela shouting their destinations — the cocheros so uppity these days that they never deign to answer. Streetcars so full the conductor has to lean on the doors to shut them.
