Jesuit Missionary Aided
Guerillas in Philippines
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
WASHINGTON.—During three
years under Japanese occupation,
the Rev. James E. Haggerty, S. J-,
rector of the Ateneo de Cagaya,
was captured three times on Min
danao in the Philippines, but each
time managed to escape, and in
the recent liberation of the island
aided American an Filipino guer
rilla forces.
Weakened by a siege of pneu
monia, Father Haggerty was
flown to this country a month ago
in an Army bomber from Leyte.
He came to Washington to fulfill
a speaking engagement at George
town University.
Upon the outbreak of war, he
became a civilian chaplain at the
headquarters of Maj. Gen William
Sharp, who had charge of the
Philippine Islands south of Cor-
regidor. General Sharp’s forces
surrendered in May, 1942, to save
the lives of 14,000 on Coregidor,
and Father Haggerty said he took
to the hills along with hundreds
of Filipino troops, who eventual
ly made their way back to their
homes and re-entered civilian life.
Two years ago, Father Hagger
ty said, the first submarine ar
rived from Australia with ammu
nition, medicines and supplies for
the guerrillas. The submarines
brought in radios, and at every
harbor a Filipino operator was
stationed to flash the positions of
Japanese ships to the American
submarines, Father Haggerty said,
adding that many Japanese sink
ings resulted from this work.
While he was staying in a small
village he gave shelter at his rec
tory to Col. William Dyess, Col.
Stephen Melnick and Comdr-
Melvin McCoy, who wrote the
story of the “Death March from
Bataan.” Father Haggerty said he
hoped to return to the islands
shortly.
