private, personal report on ids imprisonment to secretary of war Henry L. Stimson and was ready to speak his mind about his captors. He received the keys to the city and spoke of the warmth of his reception and his pride at return Ing from the "blacked-out world of our prison days”—which he left about three weeks ago — to find America “strong and great." Then he turned to the ordeal he and his men on Corregidor were forced to undergo after they surrendered "as honorable soldiers." “The rights and privileges I which civilized natlohs have I agreed to grant prisoners of war , were denied by the Japs," he said.

Prisoners Resent Freedom For Japs Urge Chinese Take Vengeance On Japs Tokyo, Sept. 10 — (VP) American liberated prisoners of war resented the freedom given the Japanese and urged today that the Chinese be allowed to take their vengeance on them. "Let the Chinese, or the Russians, handle these Jap bastards, one American said. “They'll know what to do.” Many of these men—the Amerl-

»» can eighth army has already resSl cued over 8,085 out of an esti- ■ ! mated 11,435 in its area—have P been pushed from camp to camp H for over three years. They have been beaten in the kidneys by " baseball bats, tossed unconscious 11 into latrines, or clipped on the I head with the butt of a rifle. | When they found curious Jap- ; ancse crowds pushing and crowdP ing along the sidewalks to watch II them unloading the trains, they I were stunned. Then they saw | Japanese soldiers with rifles. I “Hell,” they asked, “just what is I this?” I The sight of 18 lovely army a nurses, accompanied by a first | cavalry division guard of honor, I and the personal greetings of I eighth army commander Lt. Gen. I Robert Eichelberger couldn’t quite make them suppress their resentment. The liberated prisoners’ parade grows larger “Und larger by the hour. On Saturday alone 1,284 were processed, with 840 of these flown to Okinawa enroute to Manila. There are 900 others aboard < hospital ships in Tokyo bay. From their experiences, it was easy to see why some feel bitter when they see a Japanese officer in neatly-pressed uniform stepping smartly past. Maj. Calvin Jackson, of Kenton, 0., who was captured on Corregidor, sniffed at the tiny flower he bore in his buttonhole. He had functioned as his camp's doctor. “Health conditions were terrible.” he said. “1 was hit by Japanese doctors —not soldiers — for saying that. They ought to kill every damn one of them.” Jackson made four voyages in Japanese prison hell ships. The holds were so crowded that many of the men were unable to lie down and all were without sanitary facilities. In four hours, the place was a stinking mad house. “Yqu would have to see it, and smell it, to believe the thing,” he ' said. Another who was liberated was Lt. Cmdr. David A. Hunt, 42, of Tazewell, Va., skipper of the U.S. submarine Perch which was sunk by Japanese depth charges ip tjie Java sea on March 3, 1942. ’ Hunt had been held for 19 months at the infamous prison camp at Ofuna — where he was constantly interrogated, and where he was beaten once. Judging by the usual Japanese standards Hunt said Lt. Sato, the camp commander, was a “pretty good guy.” Sato only suspended prisoners by their thumbs for several days on end. That was considered mild punishment. o Margarine Preparation Most margarines today are prepared from bland, deodorized veg- ' etable oils. The characteristic flavor | is furnished chiefly by pasteurized, cultured skim milk. CENTRAL HEAD OF < (Continued From Page One) head and central planning agency. It was exactly as though the United States army forces in the Pacific had been abolished and Americans in all Pacific areas were divided into separate local commands. The result probably will be to facilitate disarmament since it can now be handled with local area commanders without working through a Tokyo headquarters. As late as last night, Allied headquarters had announced that demobilization and disarmament ' of Japanese troops was proceeding smoothly and would be completed about Oct. 10. “Many brave and gallant soldiers died under the torment and starvation they were forced senselessly to suffer. ’ “The tables are now completely turned (but) no humane person could desire that the Japs be forced to endure what many of our men went through. “Yet I know that Americans will insist that the full meaning of r Japan’s surrender be brought home to the emperor. < “In the name of all my comrades, who suffered with me, I 5 pray that this nation will never ’> again negtect the strength of its ’ defenses; in all the joy I feel on ’ returning to my own land, there is the memory of the last, days of Corregidor and the awful months that followed. “These memories can never be • erased from my mind I hope ■ the story of what Americans suffered will always b'fe remembered ...as a lesson which almost lost | for us this land we love.”

Macklin Super Service Madison & Third Sts. , 4 Republicans To Map Indiana Campaign I District Rallies To Be Held This Week Indianapolis. Sept. 10— (UP) — Preparations for the 1946 election campaign begin in Indiana this week with district rallies by Hoosier Republicans, at Rochester today, at Indianapolis Wednesday and at French Lick Friday. GOP leaders face the task of defining their postwar policy, and of measuring their probable candidates to see if they are satisfactory in regard to party doctrine and the ability to draw the voter to the polls. The “man on the spot” is U. S. Sen. Raymond E. Willis, R., Ind., His record will be considered by the organization. Reps. Charles Halleck, Earl Wilson, and Charles La Follette are considered possible candidates for Willie’ seat. State Republican chairman William E. Jenner, at first mentioned as a possible successor to Willis, is believed to be more interested in the g'jberna’orwl nomination in IMS. Willis, in an address at Koko mo last week, presented his pro-

Knapp Service 2nd & Jackson Sts. gram for transforming the United States from a military to a peacetime psychology and economy. The senators recommended suspension of the draft* for fathers and boys under 21. liberalization of the point system, restoration of voluntary enlistment, and quick decrease of wartime controls in all departments of government. The senator’s main strength seemed to lie in the. Indiana Republican editorial association, ; which will hold its annual conven- . tion at French Lick or, Sept. 28 . and 29. The association generally was credited with securing the first Willis nomination in 1938. 0 _ CREDIT POINTS FOR > (Continued From Page One) ed outside the U. S.
