The 1948 observance was for the fifty-second anniversary of the death ot Dr. Jose Rizal, greatest patriot in the history of the Phil- ippine Islands. His great work for the liberation of his people, the farcical trial and his subsequent execution in 1896 (which inspired his renew the insurrection they thought lost—these were the inspiration for a memorable program. | Exactly 174 members and guests |gathered for the 7 g'clock dinner in i |the Baranof Hotel Gold R to find their places by silver-edged place cards lettered in sweebing Spencerian scrip by Ted Vesaya. A. V. Credo, President of the Filipino, Community of Juneau, which sponsored the dinner and the ! dance, presided with tact and wit as toastmaster. Bishop Francis D. Gleeson gave the invocation, and Tony Florendo a heartfelt welcome. Miss Louise Pineda placed a; wreath before the picture of Dr. ' Rizal, to the muted sounding of taps, played by Catalino Barrill, Jr. Miss Juanita Diaz, making a; charming picture in her white gown frum the Philippines, sang, accom- panied by Mrs. Lillian Uggen. Other music was a song in Philippine d’'a- lect, by Pete Tnbelmlh to the itar accompaniment of Frank Pi- neda. Pastor V. Bigornia, after explain- ing that he does not preach—"It's just my name”—gave a moving eul- ' ogy to Dr. Rizal, which mcluded fine factual information. In a talk first humorous, then serious, Judge George W. Folia made the main address as a “pinch- bitt for Dr. Jam.:c T. Ryan, who! was By inference there wes a lesson in| patriotism when he said, “Dr. Rlzal‘ was remarkably well informed, es-| pecially on the history of other na- tions, when he led the insurrection- | ists. He lived ahead of his time. Dr. Rizal” said Judge Folta,| “doubtless inspired the 25000 Fili- pino troops and the 5,000 United States troops that held Bataan as long as they did. “Again those principles of free- ! dom,” the speaker said later, “are | challenged in the world today. It is fitting that his memory lives with us. Judge Folta told of legends that| have grown up about Rizal, as they | do of every great person, and quoted from Rizal's famous poem, “My Last Farewell.” At the head table with Judge and Mrs. Folta and Mr. and Mrs. Credo were Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Gilmore, Jr.; Comdr. J. R. Kurcheski, cap: tain of the U. S. Coast Guard Cut ter Storis, and Mrs. Kurcheski, and ;Mr and Mrs. Ralph J. Rivers. Forty {for the affair.

Mr.‘Truman chuckled. Is it not remarkable, he asked, to what extent speculation can go? Laughingly he suggested that re- porters just keep on speculating— it’s good. The President discu other foreign matters with newsmen, too. THAT JAPANESE CASE He denied that General Douglas MacArthur had ' orders to rearm Japan and the State Department later described reports that Mac- Arthur had himself suggested such | a move as “totally without founda- tion.” Asked about his plans for posslble new military and economic aid to! non-ccmmunist China, Mr. Truman indicated that no dec'sions might be expected for many weeks, noting that the question doesn’t come up until the first of April, when the present $400,000,000 China aid pro- gram is due to expire. a It would take an- other bucket of paint to letter the full scope of our good wishes for all of our friends dur- ing this New Year.
