day, September 7, according to Cliff
ford Phillips, chancellor commander
and chairman of the picnic COM

gagged for the day. All three will give

Yanks Bury Jap
Filler In Jungle
Note From Plane To Tell Nip
pOns of Airman's Death
By PAT ROBINSON
International News Service

Somewhere in New Guinea-We
buried a Jap today-a tiny lieutenant
whose body we found strewn amidst
the wreckage of his Zero fighter far
up the side of a jungle-covered noun
tain.
The enemy pilot was buried with
full military honors and note giving
the enemy details of the discovery of
the body and the burial will be
dropped by one of our filters at some
Japanese base.
l made the trip up the mountain
with Lieut.. Charley Cathey, of Can
ton, N. c.; Sergt. Bill Spiker, of Oak
land, Md, and Capt. Bob Edwards, of
Memphis.
Note to Japs
Capt. Clare Gideon, of Payne, O.,
is composing the note that will give
the news to the Japanese about their
missing comrade.
AS we struggled up the steep noun
tainside through the steaming jungle
growth we had a first rate impression
of what our boys suffer when they
are forced down in these frightening
New Guinea jungles.
Imagine the worst road you ever
saw in the United States and then
consider it the Lincoln Highway in
comparison to the roads here.
Find Wreckage
Near the summit we came on the
wreckage of the Zero, scattered
crafty among the burned trees. APP
parently the plane had been shot
down in flames, but the insignia of
the Rising Sun was visible on one
intact wing section The fusclage and
motor were one molten mass.
l dropped down at the foot of a
tree to rest and shivered when my
hand rested on dead flesh. 1t was the
Jap pilots hand.
The Zero must have been shot
down early in the battle, as much of
its ammunition was intact. | wondered
which of our pursuit pilots had got
him-Bill Meng, of Atlanta; Bill
Sheppard or Bob Yundt, of Pitts
burgh; Main Waring, Of Wilkes
Barre; Bob Mcmahon, of Mitchell,
S. D., or one of the other boys,
l suppose l should have been de-
lighted to find Jap in this fashion,
but somehow | was not. | couldn't
stop thinking of our own boys who
have met similar fate.

Mrs. Dice Spiker, south of Oakland.
