 The Japs particularly were eager to find Father Bunker. Dutch priest who had brought the wounded Lieut.. (now Capt. Harold r. Wat son and his crew 40 miles across mountain country to be treated by a pr. Homberger, German-Jewish doctor working in hospital oper- ated by the Irish Columan Fathers,
 "The doctor, who stayed on with his German passport, was subjected to rough treatment as a result of his treatment of Lieutenant Wat son." Father Wager said. "The hospi- tai In which the doctor practiced under the care of the Irish mission aries was burned along with the town"
 Doolittle and his crew, who land cd near Shang-Yu, were anxious to proceed immediately to Chungking, Father Wager said, but the injured Watson and his crew stayed a few days with Father Bunker. Some of the flyers also were assisted by Father William Glynn of Chicago.
 'T'he flyers with Doolittle in com- mand, arrived at Ying-tan about 7:30 a. m' Father Wager said They spent about an hour eating breakfast, then got on busses for their next lap toward Chungking About 40 minutes later three Jap planes came out of Nanchang and flew down the road after the busses.
 Fortunately, they were too late but they did manage to bomb a mail truck and kill three Chinese"

St. Louis, May 25. --- (UP)--The Japanese who wrecked vengeance on Chinese and missionaries for aiding Brig Gen. Jimmy Doolittle's Amer ican flyers after the Tokyo raid stopped only at cannibalism. the Rev. George Wager, American mis- sionary who was there, said today
 Father Wager, serving the Con- gregation of Missions at Yu Kianz Kiargsi, near which some of the Doolittle flyers landed after their historic bombing, told of the murder torture and mayhem which followed the Japs discovery that Catholic missionaries and Chinese residents of Kiangsi had sheltered the strand ed flyers and helped them escape.
 As the Japanese descended upon the area, Father Wager said, Bishop Charles Quinn of Los Angeles, eight American priests and five nuns re- treated into the hills some 20 miles away with 300 Chinese. They left behind Father Humbert Verdini, Italian Vincentian priest, who had volunteered to remain in an effort to protect the old, the very young and the sick.
 With the withdrawal of the Jap anese,' Father Wager said, "the bishop and the priests moved back into their former missions, and found nothing but destruction and desolation confronting them. Towns were completely laid waste. The whole country side rocked of death in every form. Poor country people who had stayed on hoping to be allowed to continue to work their fields, had been savagely tortured ard put to death.
 From some of the villagers who had managed to escape death Vc heard stories far too brutal and say age to relate. ust one charge was not heard cannibalism. But out side of that, take your choice and you can't miss the savage nature Of the Japanese army"
 Bishop Quinn found his Hukiang home burned He searched for Father VCrdini and discovered only his sunhelmet and muddied Jacket beside a pond in the rear of the compound, which was lined with human bones. Father Verdini never has been found.
 "We know the 60 or so children and old people in the residence with him were killed by the Japs,' Father Wager said. "The bestiallty of the action cannot be imagined by civilized peoples"
 A 70-ycar-old French priest was beaten and stabbed and laker died. A Chinese priest was beheaded. Property loss in churches and homes of the American missionaries

BOARD CONSIDERS STANCO'S REQUEST

Reports are current in police cir cles that ex-Patrolman Anthony Stango's application for reinstate- ment as member of the police de- partment will be rejected, despite the previous announcement that it is up to him" made by members of the police commissioners board.
 The bill passed by the legislature making such reinstatement possible does not automatically make him member of the force, nor does 1t or der the board to reinstate him-it just grants that power.
 Chairman William Verriker of the board of police commissioners has stated that any application from the former policeman will be con- sidcred when presented, The next meeting will be June 2 at which time 1t is likely that the request will be filed.

Rest in Hard w Ork
BY 4. c. GREENE

I'm beginning again with a
green team" said Ed Lauer, ST.
Paul basketball coach, phlio-
sophically. on the subject Of his
teams chances in the Catholic
League second division this
season.
The again" refers TO his start
last year when he took four greer
youngsters and built a basketball
team around veteran Fred Otto
and managed TO finish on top OF
the east league, losing only 10 ST
Frederick's for the city title.
This year he has five reserves
from last season and he's starting
again with Otto as the spark.
Otto, who merits space Of his
own in another sport besides
basketball, finished sec ond in
league scoring last year. One OF
the contributing factors in his
scoring comes from the foul Inc
Otto plays the pivot position anc
as result gets fouled frequently
His record last season totaled 2C
baskets out of % tries on the
penalty toss.
