Back From the Wars
'Pogie. Bait Unmosked Jap Spy
In Line for GuaduIconoI Chow
Marine Pvt. Kendrick
Recalls How Foe {
Joined Ancestors

The japanese soldier spoke flaw
less English, and when he joined an
American marine chow line on
Guadalcanal. dressed like the men
with mess kits. he might have got
away with it except for one cir
| cumstance.
Hey, marine an unsuspecting
American asked the spy, got any
pogie bait?"
The Jap was baff1ed He nudged
the man ahead. Whats pogie bait?'
he asked
Listen, fellows the marine
called out, here's q guy that doesn't
know what pogie bait is! Where did
he go to boot camp? WHY"
For every marine, it seems, knows
that pogie bait means candy And
so it was that the Jap was un-
masked and soon coined his an
cestors."
The episode is one of the vivid
memories of Marine Pvt. Wesley
Kendrick, who is back from the
fighting in the Southwest Pacific
and spending a furlough at his
home, 500 South Henry street, Alex
andria, Va
Japs "Try Anything"
Those Japs," Pvt. Kendrick re-
called, will try anything. They put
on the uniforms of dead or cap
tured marines and drift, into our
lines. One may toss a grenade into
bunch of men. You never know
what they'll do. Sometimes you'll
go to sleep in fox hole and wake
up to find one of them in there with
you. We found a good many inside
our lines, but they didn't get away
with it for long
The marines had so many ex-
amples of japanese treachery that
they learned to believe nothing and
take no chances. A Jap would
simulate a wounded man In agony,
the Alexandrian explained, and stab
his rescuer. They used every device
to trick the Americans into ap-
preaching an ambush
Pvt. Hendricks outfit, relieved
early in November, 1912, was the
first group of marines to land on
Guadalcanal He'll never forget the
first time they took over a front
sector.
That night" he said, we all
started digging in We we're just
getting our. fox holes deep enough
when the Japs opened up with
machine guns. It was the first time
we'd been under fire. I heard a
bullet ping against my buddy,s
helmet, and he went down 1 thought
he was dead. I was afraid to look
or speak. Finally, after long time,
I got up courage enough to call his
name. He answered promptly. He
was all right. The bullet hadn't
gone through. What relief"
Another time mortar shell
struck Pvt. Hendricks pack. If it
had exploded dwell, he wouldn't be
telling about it. But it was a dud.
There are amusing as well as trag-
ic incidents in his mental diary For
instance, the time they were in fox
holes and terrific rain came up,
almost filling their refugees. They
all took off their clothes, hung them
in comparatively dry underbrush
and got back in the water holes"
The Japs chose CHS moment to open
fire. Grabbing rifles and light ma
chine guns, the naked Marines re-
pulsed the attack.
We all had to laugh" he re-
membered
Contracted Malaria.
He had praise for the mail serv-
ice, recalling that they got letters
even when they were in the front
lines.
There was one fellow" he said,
who got about four boxes of candy

0PA Prepares Appeal
To Supreme Court on
Gas Rates Decision

The Once of Price Administra-
ton will take the Washington Gas
Light Co. rate increase case to the
Supreme Court, it was asserted yes
terday when the OPA filed a motion
In the Court of Appeals asking for a
further stay of mandate" on its
decision of July 26.
On that date the Court of APP
peals upheld the Public Utilities
Commission which had granted the
gas company s201 900 rate increase,
effective last fall
In upholding the commission the
Court of Appeals reversed and re-
naanded District Court decision of
last February which had held the
PUG order granting the increase
was invalid in view of price-control
regulations.
The Court of Appeals asserted the
Price Control Act Clearly recog-
nized the power of the Public Utili-
ties Commission OF the District of
Columbia and other regulatory bod
les to fix utility rates and leaves
this power undisturbed except that
1t imposes upon utilities seeking
an increase the duty to give 80
days notice to the Presidents agen-
cy and to consent to its timely in
tervention before any general in
crease in rate in effect on September
Is, 1912, can be made in a rate
proceeding"
The motion filed yesterday at the
Court of Appeals asked for a further
stay of mandate on that tribunals
decision so there will be no action
resulting from the decision for a
period of 80 days, from September
8, to give the OPA time to file a
petition for a writ of certiorari at
the Supreme Court. The motion
points out that a previous stay had
been granted by the Court of APP
peals up to the September date.
The District Court decision was
stayed in February, pending con-
sideration of the case by the Court
OF Appeals and the rate increase
became effective on November 16.
The gas company, however, already
has refunded part of the increase
collected, due to provision in the
PUG order for a refund if the COM
pany's profit was sufficient to cause
1t to pay an excess in profit taxes.

These infections are most COM

in late winter and early spring,

They have three possible origins:
They may come as the result of in

by contact with others. They may
be part of an epidemic borne by
some medium like milk. Or they
