Virginia 10 Eliminate
Registration Fee
For Liquor Rations
Action Designed to Avoid
Repetition Of Dispute
Of 25-Cent Charge
Ey the Associated Press.


RICHMOND. Va, Feb. 15.-The
25-cent fee will be eliminated when
patrons register for the new liquor
ration book some time between now
and May, the Virginia Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board announced
yesterday.
Elimination of the fee, which was
assessed last year to help defray the
cost of the rationing program, is
designed to avoid a repetition of the
controversy which ragged over the
issue last year, A. B. Clarke, director
Of information and research for the
ABC Board, said.
A bill has been introduced in the
General Assembly by the Norfolk
delegation which would eliminate
the 25-cent charge, and also permit
a husband and wife to purchase
liquor on each others books.
THE 25-cent fee proved so un-
popular that it was thought Lest tc
eliminate 1t, even If it does mean
that the cost will be chargeable
against general profits Of the liquor
system" Mr.. Clarke explained.
Under the registration fee sys-
tenn, more than 5000, 900 was collect
ed last year, and Mr.. Clarke said
that most of the money was spent to
carry out the rationing program.
The residue will be applied to the
cost OF the next registration.

The plan worked without hitch.
The Jap sentry took his usual rake
of of the star apples and waved
the cart on. The equipment was
safely hidden in the jungle.
But we had reckoned without 1t.
Hosume, the Crown Prince of Swat.
At noon, the day before we were
to make our break, Hosume made
an inspection to see if any of the
work parties were using forbidden
food, such as fruits or vegetables,
each mans noon portion of rice
being doled out before the work
parties left in the morning. In
Capt. Shofner's musette bag was
bottle containing the entire quinine
supply for our escape.
Passed Up Quinine.
Hosume opened the bag and
looked in. The quinine was in plain
view. Capt. Shofner said later that
he established new world record
for holding the breath.
Fortunately for us all, the Crown
Prince of Swat had a one-track
mind; he was looking for forbidden
food and he saw none in the bag.
After slapping around the men in
Shofner's party, he continued on his
honorable and exalted way.
That night we received disturb
ing news. 1t. Hosume had found
forbidden fruit in possession of one
of the work parties AS a general
punishment, all hands were ordered
to work in the rice fields the follow
ing day-the Sunday on which we
were to have made our escape. Our
equipment was hidden in the edge
of the jungle, where 1t might be dis
covered at any moment by the
Japanese, and thus give us away.
But we had no choice. Our
escape attempt would have to be
postponed for at least a week. We
were plenty scared
The week following was one in
which all Of us lived in a state of
constant alarm. Each time a Jap
guard approached any member of
our intended escape party, that
member was certain that the Japa-
nese had stumbled onto the equip
ment We had hidden in the Jungle
the week before, and that the end
had come.
AS each day passed without dis
covery. each of us sent up a prayer
of thanks. And each OF us prayed
that on the coming Sunday we
would not be punished py an order
to work.
Our luck held.
Perhaps one reason We were not
discovered was the fact that the
japanese guards at Davao Prison
camp were not the highest type of
enemy soldier we had met in the
months of our captivity since the
fall of Bataan and Corregidor.
There were about $50 of them to
guard the 1000 American military
prisoners. If this number of jap
anese guards should seem small, it
should be remembered that more
than thousand of the prisoners
were so weak from diseases and hun
ger that they probably would not
have been able to escape if there had
been no guards at all. Most of our
Japanese guards were former white
collar workers, army reservists from
Formosa.
Tomorrow-The escape.
