Brand Jap Claims Fancy Propaganda
HIGH SCHOOL I*. T. A. MEETING
WASHINGTON, Feb, 8 (UP)— Informed officials to lay branded Japan’s claims of American maltreatment of Japanese prisoners and internees as a not too clever attempt to justify Japanesv atrocities which killed some 25,000 American-Fili-pino troops captured after Bataan and Corregidor.

Sources close to the Embassy said the internees had only minor complaints such as their inability to buy everything they

The Liddles guidance program is not a new experiment. They have been building a nation-wide reputation for many years with successful work of this type in many states.
