A.V.H. Hartendorp in his 2-volume history, "The Japanese Occupation of the Philippines", tells a slightly different story than Utinsky. He credits a 22-year-old Filipina hairdresser, Naomi Flores (code name "Looter") with being the impetus for the so-called "Miss U Spy Ring," which was an effort to help American Prisoners of War (POWs) survive the difficult conditions in the Japanese POW camp of Cabanatuan.
