MANILA DIARY— Life Is Standing Still for Me in

the diary of Pearl La Carma Haven, at Santo Tomas prison by the Japanese. It covers the second half year of her existence as an internee.

THE JAPANESE started tightening up on radios the first week of August. They offered 50 pesos ($25) to persons reporting them. So for a few days we heard no news. But the first week in August was a big week for me. I heard that a dear friend, Mildred Roth News, Va., and the Bronx, N. Y., who had been a civilian’ nurse throughout the siege of Corregidor and whose husband is an army lieutenant, had a baby boy. 3 I saw her for the first time in the war on the 24th, when she came to stay with me. It was

funny to hear Her tales of having to climb over the side of a Japanese ship to come to a hospital

when she was pregnant. She was

of good cheer and bucked me up considerably. n n s SEPT. T marked
