Missing Soldier Tells Of Guerilla
Fighting, Escape From Japanese Camp


Much has been told of the he

but little is known of the brave
men who wouldn't give them
selves UP.
Such a one is McVea j. Vigou-
resux, corporal in the u. S. Ar

Corporal Vigoreaux was at
home in Pascagoula Thursday af-
ter having been missing in ac-
ton for more. than two years. He
was the first Jackson Countian
TO be reported missing and his
sisters here heard no word from
MIN until March when they were
officially notified that he had
landed in Australia.
In fact the government didn't
know, either. that instead of ly-
ing in a soldiers grave or just
being mysteriously absent from

gagged in guerilla warfare some
where in the vicinity of Bataan.

Stewart Says:

WASHINGTON = Almost any
day now Senator Hiram Johnson,
n, may be back at his desk,
ready to return to the endless de-
bates and legislation in which he
has been a key figure for more
than. a quarter of a century.
Californian Wins Battle for
Health
Enfeebled by pneumonia and
his advanced age, Sen. Johnson
went to Florida in January for a
rest and some of his colleagues
feared he might never resume his
active duties.
But johnson who last spoke in
the Senate against the Connolly
postwar resolution last Deem
Der, has kept in daily touch with
his office.
Now he is said to be well
enough to return to the battle.
But it will be a problem to
keep the elderly Californian
away from the Republican con-
vention next month in Chicago.
WASHINGTON correspondents
assigned to the War and Navy
departments finally have formed
an association in an effort TO ex-
pedite handling of news from
those two sources.
1t is known as the War and
Navy Correspondents association
and includes representatives of
the major wire services, indivi-
dual newspapers, magazines and
radio.
One of the major detectives of
the organization at present is to
have the war department assign
a general officer 10 the bureau of
public relations who could give
valuable background material on
military operations around the
worlds
Consensus of reporters return
ing from London is that the Brit
ishe have done a much better job
along this line because they have
made Army and Navy officers
available with the sole duty Of
keeping newsmen informed on
military events.
PROSPECTS ARE dim that
Representative Sol Bloom CD of
New York, chairman of the
House foreign affairs committee,
will get anywhere with his cru
SADIE to have future International
agreements approved by major
ity vote of the two Houses of
Congress, rather than ratified by
a tWo-thirds vote of the Senate.
Although the state department
and some other administrative
officials have indicated a strong
leaning toward Blooms view
point, the plain fact is that a
great many senators are strongly
opposed by surrendering their
constitutional prerogative of trea-
ty ratification.
CHARLES E. WILSON, WHIP
vice chairman, is the former
president of General Electric
company. But this did not pre-
vent him from turning thumbs
down on a proposal to award one
of General Electric's big plants a
contract for 100000 electric irons.

These strikes have spread from the At

GOOD EARTH RESPONDS

\
A department of Agriculture esti-
mate of billion-bushe wheat crop and
of corn yields exceeded only four times
in the country's history serves to demon
strate anew the resliency of Americas
good earth"
A decade ago, with drouth and dust
storms combining to cut grain prOduc-
ton to minimum, with thousands of
agriculturists leaving the land, and with
many persons prOphesying that the soil
was worked out" any assertion that the
nations farm lands would in this war
year of 1914 again be producing super
abundant crops would have been receiv-
ed incredulously.
That this has come to pass is largely
because farmers rasorted to contour
blowing, set out shelter-belts of trees,
planting soil-binding grasses, and grad
ually acquired dependable backlog of
poultry, pigs. dairy cattle.
The agriculturst has shown an amaz-
ing adaptability. His seed has been
planted with patched-up machinery and
harvested with a minimum of manpower.
And now, instead of using his surplus
funds to buy more land, he is using the
money to discharge obligations incurred
during the depression years. The wars
end should see him with bank balance
to cushion peacetime readjustments.

DEATH OVERTAKES

Motion pictures have made familiar to
millions of Americans the sight of Adolf

No such intimate view has been accord
ed us to show how the japanese admiral
in command Of the fleet which attacked
Pearl Harbor looked and felt when he
got the news of the success of that sneak
assault.
But no one needs stretch his magma
tiOn to fill in the details-the immense
satisfaction felt at the heavy damage
done to the American fleet, expressed in
handShakings and toasts to the mlkado
and victory, along with the contemptu

The Japanese thought they were cele-
brating a Compiegne for the United

Now Admiral NimitZ announces that
what is left of the mortal remains of
this same Nipponese admiral has been
discovered among the enemy dead on
Saipan island.
There is symbolism in this fact which
will not be lost on the minds of the super
stitiOus Japanese.
The victory of Pearl Harbor is dead.
All the grandiose boasts are made with
him. Pearl Harbor was fatal to him,
not to those over whom he crowed. And
it will be fatal to Japan as we'll.
