By RALPH TEATSORTH d Pr Staff Correspondent MANILA, Feb. 10—The Philippines’ most publicized Communist leader, its public enemy No. 1 and most elusive fugitive, has lost his last legal claim to public office. The case of the Hukbalahap supreme commander, Luis M. Taruc, is a tragic-comedy of errors. It is the story of a man who bravely resisted the Japanese invader, then slugged his way into

Taruc was not allowed to take his seat in the house until June 25, 1948, during the short period of amnesty proclaimed by Presiderit Elpidio Quirino before he decided that no real peace with the Huks could be achieved. _ Taruc made $6600 on the deal.
