Garcia, the secretary of foreign affairs, it first was pro- claimed by Garcia's under secre- tary, Leon Guerrero. Guerrero was the “‘voice of free- dom”. during the early days of World War II until his capture by the Japanese. Later he was re- leased from prison and broadcast Japanese propaganda. Guerrero’s first strong support for the new policy came from Sen. Claro M. Recto, wartime foreign minister of the Philippines under} the Japanese. Recto has been accused by crit- ies of being anti-American but has denied the charge. Vice “Président Garcia quickly added his support. So did Sen. Jose P. Laurel, war- time president of the Philippines during the Japanese occupation. Bipartisan backing came from members in Congress. But there were strong indications that the de-| fegted Liberal party would subject the new policy to terrid debate in the Senate. President Magsaysay has re- mained silent although Guerrero insists that the new President en- dorses it.

She had to stop frequently for breathing.” . Bottomless Pit is a 100-foot drop ‘inside a tight-squeeze crawlway. The trail narrows down to about six inches around its rim.
