ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2.-St. Louis took
its first American League champion
ship calmly and quietly and without
any fanfare.
After the 37,815 fans at Sports
mans Park gave vent to their feel
ings yesterday by throwing seat
cushions, paper cups, bags and other
items into the air, the celebration
died down to conversations about
the victors.
In a few sections of the city fans
tied tin cans and washtubs to their
cars and paraded through the
neighborhood. Downtown st. Louis
was no different than any other
Sunday night when taverns are
closed.
Some fans moved across the
Mississippi River to East st. Louis,
Ill, where tayerns reported a brisk
Sunday business.

In a little while the wounded
man seemed stronger, his eyes
clear. He turned his head and
saw Moe. Moe leaned close. "How
do you feel, Steve?" he asked.
Steve seemed puzzled. He look
ed squarely into the eyes of the
other and all at once he knew.
He opened his mouth to speak,
Moe could not hear his weakly
spoken words and put his ear close
to the others lips. "What is it
you want, Steve?" he asked.
"Just want wish :. you
Happy New Year Buddy"
he whispered, closing his eyes,

of him. But he had to go on.
After what seemed hours he
knew that he couldn't make it.
The heat and the hours of ter
ror, which he had not recognized
as terror, had weakened the body
so that it could not respond to
the spirit. He began to weep.
"I'm sorry, Steve" he murmured.
Sorry :" And then every
thing went black.
But he had travelled farther
than he knew = far enough to
be sighted by one of the boys in
the American front line. The lat
ter aimed at him with his rifle,
thinking it was one of the enemy
attempting an ambush. A boy be-
side him placed his hand on his
arm. "Wait a minute" he said.

Four hours later, in a field hos

which the sun still sent down
powerful rays of heat, Moe sat

by his arms with his chin rest

on a pale soldier who lay on a
make-shift mattress, his shoulder
bandaged. you'd better lie down

Above the shallow fox-hole, ma
chine gun bullets whizzed threat
eningly. Occasionally a shell
burst nearby - often so close
that the hearts of the men hud-
ding in the hollow missed a beat
in unison.
The sun beat down merciless-
ly. The uniforms of the i'm
perilled soldiers were soggy with
sweat. Beads of perspiration ran
down their cheeks in rivulets.
One of the men whispered:
what time do you make it,
Moe?"
"I'd say about eleven o'clock"
There was a pause.

said the other. Christ, what a

"Well, it could've been worse,

would have happened if we hadn't
found this comfy little mud hole"
"Cut the preaching" said Steve.

"Ain't you a cheerful stinker!'
snapped Steve.
ooh, go take a walk"
The heat and the danger and
the discomfort were fraying terri
pers dangerously. There was a
long period of silence = if the
lack of conversation could be call
ed silence in the noise of the bat
tie.
The two men had been caught
in the center of half-mile strip
of no-man'S land between the
lines of battle. Even now they
didn't fully understand how it
happened.
After a while Moe felt the need
of renewed intimacy with the
man trapped with him. "What a
hell of a way to spend the New
Year," he griped.
Steve was still sore. "New
Year!" he exclaimed. II can see
you just can't take it. You must

"What do you mean?" asked
Moe.

A machine-gun bullet hit the
edge of the fox-hole and skinned
right over their heads, almost
trimming Steve's hair. A look

trouble with you Jews" he said
in an unkind tone. eff you'd only
give up your crazy customs and
become real Americans maybe
people might get to like you. How
the hell many New Years days do
you want in a year anyhow"
Moe pressed his lips together
and clenched his fists until the
knuckles were white. Even here
- even here where a Jew and
Christian, fighting side by side for
the freedom of all peoples, lay in
momentary peril of destruction by
a common enemy, the Christian
was unable to shed his anti-Semit-
ism. What was the use of going
through this hell if -
Shut your damned mouth" said
Moe. I'm damned sight better
American than you'll ever be. At
least won't defy the Constitu-
ton and desecrate the memory of
the real Americans who fought to
make the country free = even
for Jews"
"Boy, listen to the Jew talk
fancy" sneered Steve.
At that moment a Japanese snip
er who had spotted them caught
him square in the shoulder. For
an instant, numbed, he glanced
vacantly at Moe as the blood be-
gan to flow from the ugly wound.
Then, as the pain slowly entered
the flesh with increasing inten-
sity, he fell back, limp.
Moe watched the life-fluid leav-
ing the body of the wounded man.
Gone were his resentment and his
philosophical thoughts about anti
Semitism. Here was another
American = his buddy-bleeding
to death. He did his best to
stop the flow with the first aid
materials and bandage he carried,
with too little success. Unless he
did something without delay it
was clear that Steve could not
live.
There was only one thing to do
= get Steve out of the fox-hole
and back to the American lines
He knew what that meant. II
meant that the chances were al
most as slim for him as they now
were for Steve. But he did not
hesitate. He eased out of the fox
hole, feet first and stomach down
Crawling backward on the burn
ing ground he dragged Steve out
There was almost a full quarter
mile to go. Steve was heavy, so
heavy. But he dared not give up.
His throat was parched, his head
ached and his eyes smarted. But
he wiggled on, pulling Steve along
with him and leaving a trail of
blood. Inch by inch he crawled
back. There was now nothing in
the world but this stretch of
ground along which he, Moe, was
dragging an American named
Steve = Christian American.
His heart was pounding with the
exertion, but he had to go on.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.-A life
of cruel slavery was the fate Of
most of the $500 American soldiers
held in Japanese Military Prison
Camp No. l near Cabanatuan when
I left the Philippines as repatriate
late last September.
The same cruelties dominated the
lives Of about 400 other Americans
held in schoolhouse at Pasay,
suburb Of Manila, after they had
slaved all day at Nichols Airfield
and on the roads in that area.
Eyewitnesses of the Bataan sur
render, the march Of death and
events In the Cabanatuan camp
told me their stories while I was
in the civilian prison camp at Santo
Tomas, Manila.
At the outset, our soldiers were
herded behind barbed wire and
left in open fields at Camp No. l
to face the tropical sun and rain.
The wounded and sick who were
dragged along from Bataan were
given uCtle care.
The death list at Cabanatuan
alone totaled around 1000 at the
time I left the Philippines.
Beds Unheard OF.
Most of these fatalities were due
to lack of surgical and medical
treatment Of any kind. Death laid
heavy hand on the untreated
wounded.
Scores of others died of malaria or
dysentery, as sanitary facilities were
nil and drinking water was at a
premium.
None of the prisoners had the
vitality needed mosquito net. Beds
were unheard of for more than a
year.
The soldiers worked on nearby
roads under Jap guards who de-
lighted in swinging clubs on those
who faltered.
In two cases attempted escapes by
men willing to take their chances
in the nearby wild Corderillo Noun
tains with the Ilongot and Abalao
head hunters in preference to the
Japs, the offenders were brought to
the center of the camp and a few
were beheaded while the others were
shot.
Clubbings with the limbs of trees,
heavy bamboo sticks or two-by-
fours were the daily fare of prison.
ers who, undernourished, could not
do pick and shovel duty for as long
as II hours day.
Wore Only Shorts.
In about May of 1943 the Japs
finally produced some dilapidated
cots and nets for the wooden bar
racks which were erected by the
prisoners. They also provided some
quinine but the quantity was trivial.
Almost $500 men needed such med
icine instead Of the few who re-
ceived it.
The prisoners wore only ragged
shorts. They had no shoes, no hats,
no shirt, as they labored over the
rough ground under burning trop-
ical sun or cold deluges of rain.

The Japs turned down the Army
and Navy nurses Immediately.
After few more weeks, they
asked me for guarantees that the
volunteers would not work among
the Filipinos If permitted to go
north.
In desperation I gave the guar
antees even though it would have
gone against our grain to ignore
our Filipino comrades in arms.
