Tribune: "LAUREL URGES DEPOPULATION.... Manila residents are advised to leave city while conditions permit normal departure." This "normal departure" is a good gag: even a very short, local carretela trip can cost P25 a head. "4,000,000 sacks of palay available" — from rice growers, offered to the government at a "reasonable price." For this they'll receive great recognition. The catch is, the government has to go and get it. News: Pacific bombings just like yesterday. The Americans lost two planes all day! It's becoming one-sided. In France, the Allies are unofficially "on the outskirts" of Paris. |
