The marines in Camp Sait, Sulu, in assaulting Sibalo Hill, lost 14 men KIA, 21 WIA yesterday. They were able to extricate themselves only after an air strike of the F-5’s and F-86. I attach report.

So I ordered ground troops to stop the operations until they have been reinforced by the battalion from Kapatagan. In the meantime air bombardment and if necessary napalm.

I attach my order.

Paid last respects to the late Gen. Calixto Duque lying in state at Camp Aguinaldo. He died Friday.
