This Is Life in Nazi-Ruled Lands
LONDON, Jan. 29 (U. P.)—A Dutchman just escaped to England today told this story. A man tried to commit suicide. He tried to’ hang himself, but
the German-made ersatz rope:
broke. He threw himself into a canal, but his ersatz suit, made of wood, kept him from sinking. He bought some poison, but it was ersatz, too, and didn’t even make him sick. In disgust, he abandoned the idea of suicide and started to live on his ration coupons. He died within a month of starvation.

ARMY TO FORM ALL-JAP ‘TEAM’
Citizens of Nipponese Blood Promised Chance to Fight for U. S.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (U. P.). —Enrollment of several thousand American citizens of Japanese descent for combat duty in the Europe or African war theaters was believed today to be the initial goal of an army plan to use such persons. The plan was announced yesterday by War, Secretary Henry L. Stimson. No ‘specific figure on the
able, but it was noteworthy that the announcement: said it was planned to train youths of Japapese blood as a combat team for service in an active theater, In army language a “combat team?” is of no fixed size. Ordinarily it would number several thousand men. Likewise no statement Was available on where ‘the troops of Japanese ancestry would be assigned. However, it was believed it would be other than in the Pacific theater. It has been- pointed out that there might be repercussions on relatives in Japan if they had to fight Japanese empire troops and that it would be fairer to the American troops. of Japanese extraction if they were assigned to fight enemies other than their own blood.
Ask For Combat Duty
Many, of the persons of Japanese descent’ who have approached the war department for the privilege of serving in the armed forces expressed desire for combat and a real chance to demonstrate their loyalty. Meanwhile, Chairman Albert B. Chandler (D. Ky.) said that his military affairs subcommittee investigating the Japanese situation in this country agrees with Mr. Stimson that “it is the inherent right of every faithful citizen, regardless of his ancestry, to bear arms in the nation’s battles.” Joseph C. Grew, former ambassador to Japan, told the committee at a closed hearing today that the United States “must not do anye thing to alienate the many thousands of loyal Japanese Nisei” or second generation Japanese born in

Fuzzy Hair Is Jap
By Science Service WASHINGTON, Jan, 20.—-Japa- " nese aviators captured on Guadale canal and shown in recent news= reels had long bushy hair standing up all around their heads in a very unusual manner. They resembled the frizzy-haired Pa--puans of nearby New Guinea more than they did the usually sleek Japs. Anthropologists ‘here suggest the aviators let their hair grow long as a head protector or additional helmet. The zero is known to be very maneuverable and the aviators wear bands around their waists to- minimize shock to their internal organs. The long hair.is thought also to minimize shock around the head. Old-time football players in this country used to let their hair -grow long as a protection to their heads, and it is recalled . that prize-fighters often grew .beards before a fight to help their faces withstand the impact of their opponents’ blows.
