Relief Supplies
Fail 10 Reach Yanks

WASHINGTON, Jan. % -
R Presidential Secretary
Stephen Early said today that
reports of Japanese atrocities
against American prisoners of
war were released because fur
Their relief supplies could not be
expected to reach the prisoners.
As to whether lifting of the
ban on the atrocity reports
means that the government has
abandoned hope for further ex-
change and repatriation of pris-
oners, Early suggested that the
question was one for the State
Department, which has handled
the problem through the Swiss
government.

in the Philippines, principally
because Larry never said much
about it-until he became Ma
comb county's first war casual
| ~.
When Manila was declared an
open city and all military for
ces and installations were with
drawn to protect its helpless in
habitants, Larry Pidgeon was
lying on a hospital bed. The
hospital roof was plastered with
thrill of blasting that undefend-
ed city.
Larry had to take 1t" for a
week or more. They flew SO
low we could even hear the me-
tallic clang as their bomb bays
opened" he wrote. There was
no anti-aircraft guns to repel
the Japs, and our fighter
strength was low at that time.
RAIN OF BOMBS
Capt. Pidgeon was a stretcher
case. He body was in a cast.
He and the other wounded had
resigned themselves to either
one of two dreadful alternatives
being blown to pieces by a
bomb, or becoming prisoners of
cruel and ruthless enemy.
They knew what had happened
to the wounded at Singapore and
in China. Most of them must
have preferred the bombs.
At the last minute an Ameri-
can medical detachment evacu-
ated them on stretchers, via a
fishing tug to an island off the
coast of LuZon. Thence to Sid
ney, Australia, in perilous voy-
age under the eyes of enemy
fighting craft searching for
Manila evacuees.
Larry spent eight or 10
months in an Australian hospi-
tai where the beginnings of
dread infantile paralysis. con-
tracted in the Philippines, as
sailed his wasted frame.
Months of hospital loneliness
began to turn into years. Day
and night the painful round of
operations, injections, treat
ments and medicines continued
until Larry felt like laboratory
specimen.
Finally, back to the good old
U.S.A.-but not the same as he
left.
First long period of treat
ment - during which his chart
dipped pretty low-at Fort Dix,
NJ, and now at sanitarium
in West Virginia.
That's Larry Pidgeon's story,
and here are few excerpts
from his letter received today:
