ing to Col. A.H. Campbell, who was pri-
marily responsible for development of
warning and communications facilities
in the Philippines, it was planned to
establish nineteen radar stations as fol-
lows: eight on Luzon, three on Min-
danao, and one each on Lubang, Samar,
Palawan, Jolo, Basilan, Tablas, Panay,
and Negros islands. In addition to the
two sets in operation on 8 December,
one U.S. Marine mobile set was going
into position on Batangas bay and would
be in operation on 10 December, one
had just reached position at Burgos in
northern Luzon, two (one fixed and the
other mobile) were going into position
at Jose Panganiban in Camarines Norte,
and one, lacking a power plant, was in
storage. (Notes supplied R.L. Watson in
