Mission Reached

After four hours of climbing
over rocks and through jungle
growth, the mission was reached
and Mr.. Satepan, a Melanesian
missionary, greeted the Ameri-
can filters with a meal of ripe
bananas, fried pumpkin. boiled
chicken and yams. The next
day. MCGOWAN and Miller re-
turned to their plane by dingy
with four native oarsmen.
Then they set to work repair
ing their radio while curious ma

hours, watching silently and
Spatting out streams of betal-
nut juice.
"After several days the ter
rlbly hot, sticky climate began
to tell on u.s." MCGOWAN related.

the lagoon but were warned

Fighting Patrols

and reconnaissance patrols.
sometimes consisting Of as few
as one officer and a half dozen
or so men, equipped with auto
matte weapons and bearing as
much in the way of supplies as
can be carried by two or three
mules.
Often larger columns with
more mule transport carrying
even light artillery--go out with
more substantial detectives in
view. The main purpose, how
ever. is always the same-to
seek out the enemy, hinder his
plans and, above all, discover his
intentions.
A typical patrol was one
which set out recently from a
small village on the Imphal-
Tamu road. For days II strug-
gled along almost impossible
rough gravel tracks in the dense
Maya jungle country. plagued by
mosquitoes and other insects and
always in peril of deadly ambush.

ment cautiously approached the
village only to find that the
Japanese had evacuated the
place some hours earlier.
Before leaving, the Japanese
had removed every scrap of food
the villagers possessed, wantonly
killed their cattle and looted
their houses.
Having seen this grim evil
dence of the enemy's visit, the
detachment made its way back
TO the ridge and rejoined the re-
mainder of the force.
The entire patrol then set out
to march to Thaungdut where
there was understood to be 100
japanese troops-a number. in
cidentally, far in excess of that
of the British patrol.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-09-06

The plan was to capture Japa-
nese prisoners who were to be
brought back for interrogation
and TO carry out certain other
important tasks.
How this part of the operation
was carried out must remain a
secret. But it can be stated that
the patrol was entirely success
full in its mission and returned
across the border into India
without loss, having gained the
most valuable knowledge con-
corning the enemy.
Similar patrols regularly re-
turn from similar expeditions,
sometimes unfortunately not in
tact but all of them with some
new contribution toward the
eventual defeat of the Japanese.

He Lives in Small
Apartment. Has
No Public Life
BY FRANK ROBERTSON
International News Service stan Writer


MELBOURNE, Sept. S.
TIL E elderly, silver-haired
man who opened the door
Of the small apartment in a
fashionable Melbourne suburb
looked every inch a white rajah
tall, distinguished, proud But
instead of a turban and dress
of state, he wore comfortable
house slippers; he was coatless,
his shirt sleeves rolled above his
elbows; and in his hand he held
a feather buster.
He was Sir Charles Vyner
Brooke, the rajah Of Sarawak-
the worlds only white rajah.
Regal Splendor Conc
It was impossible to believe
that this quiet, patient man,
sitting comfortably in an early
Victorian armchair in the tiny
sitting room, had for IS years
ruled half a million subjects
from a palatial residence set in
200 acres Of parklands in Ku-
ching. capital of Sarawak, and
had only recently given $1,000
900 to Britain's war effort.
When he rose to finish the
morning chores-putting away
the few breakfast dishes, dust
ing the furniture, patting cush-
ions into shape with meticulous
care-it was hard to realize that
this man had frequently enter
tanned $50 guests in regal splen-
dor In a palace stated by hum
dreds Of servants.
Ruler only recently Oh $1,000
square miles of rich oil and rub
Der producing country, today he
commands a sitting room, bed
room and kitchen; cooks his own
breakfast and makes up his bed.
Awaits His Return
In Melbourne, surrounded by a
small band OF trusted govern
ment officials who escaped from
Sarawak, Sir Charles lives
quietiy-planning always for the
day when he will go back to his
country.
He has made provision for the
time when Sarawak will be freed
from Japanese tyranny. For
more than 20 years Sir Charles
has built up a large reserve of
cash and securities in London,
while nearly $20,000,OOo is de-
posted in Australian banks.
Most of this, in dollar notes,
coins and specie silver, was being
shipped to Sarawak when the
japanese overran the country.
1t was dumped on the wharves
at Singapore and rushed to Aus
tralia shortly before Malaga fell.

Worlds Only White Rajah Caches Riches
While He Plans to Help Drive Out Japs
His Holiday in
Australia Hit
by Start Of War

Holidaying in Australia when
Japan entered the war, Sir
Charles left Immediately for
Sarawak. At Sourabaya he
learned his country had been
occupied by the enemy. He re-
turned to Australia and for some
months lived in hotels in Sydney
and Melbourne.
Two months ago, firing or
hotel life, he moved TO tha
apartment he now occupies.
There he has regimented his
days to quiet living and con-
structive planning.
Resumes His Chores
He walks half a mile each
day to a hotel for lunch-hs
hasn't an automobile-but apart
from this he rarely leaves his
rooms. He has withdrawn COM
pletely from public life, prefer
ring to spend his exile alone.
Although he is 6S, Sir Charles
still has his dreams. Nothing
will prevent him from returning
to Sarawak TO carry on the
traditions of his adventurous
grandfather-the first rajah--
who Eas given Sarawak as q
reward when he rescued Rajah
Muda Hasim from revolving
Dyak tribesmen 100 years ago.
Since then a Brooke has al
ways ruled Sarawak. Sir Charles
is determined they will continue
to do so.
In the meantime
He whistled cheerfully as he
went into the small kitchen to
prepare himself a cup OF tea.

Speed Of Trains

The Dearborn City Council to-
day instructed Corporation Coun-
sci James E. Greene 10 draft an
Ordinance limiting the speed of
trains in the city.
The action was urged by Mayor
Orville l.. Hubbard in cooperation
with Detroit in establishing the
same train speed limit for both
cities.
The city council tabled Hub
bard's motion to discontinue the
salary of Municipal Judge Leo r.
Schaefer, now a lieutenant in the
navy, but whose resignation as
judge does not become effective
until December 81.
Hubbard said he presented the
motion because Schaefer's enlist
ment on September i. left only
one judge to handle a crowded
docket and that night court has
had TO be held for several days
each week. Schaefer is technically
on leave of absence and draws his
navy pay plus his salary of $500
a year until his resignation is
effective, Hubbard said.
