FIess Jap Camp, Returns
10 Aid His Comrades

SEATTLE, March II - An
American sailor who escaped
from q japanese prison camp in
the Philippines is safe again
after returning TO the camp VI
cinity to help liberate other
American war prisoners, his
mother, Mrs. l.. E. Jackson Of
Seattle, reported last night.
The sailor is Jopaul Little, %,
ordnanceman. 3rd class, who
had been reported missing In
action on Corregidor. He had
been held prisoner % months.
Word that Little had escaped
was brought to Mrs. Jackson
three weeks ago in a sealed mes
sage from the Navy Bureau of
Navigation. A naval officer per-
sonally delivered the message.
No details of other escaped
prisoners, aided by Little, were
announced.

factory filled with workers and
machines, the clatter of rivet
guns and the changing Of metal,
but with not a human voice
heard all day long.
That's the scene in several de-
partments of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Co., and the Good
year Aircraft Corp, here, where
silent workers play an inn
portant role in the company's
war production.
These mutes-or "silents', as
they prefer to- be called-were
drawn from all over the coun-
try, with many of them gradu-
ates Of nationally known schools
for the deaf. Some have work
ed Is years with Goodyear, a
pioneer employer Of mutes.
The silents have shown them
selves TO be exceptionally good
production workers and are es-
pecially effective on repetitive
jobs, personnel officials say.
Today at the tire and aircraft
companies, nearly 900 silents are
employed at such tasks as tire
building, riveting, drilling,
plane assemblies, balloon assem-
blies, and making gas masks and
self-sealing fuel tanks.
Foremen like them. They
concentrate more %intently than
others on learning a new job.
The man who has to talk with
his hands can't work and talk
at the same time. The noise and
distraction of a great industry,
which disturbs other men, new
err bothers them.
The silents have become an
Akron institution, particularly
in East Akron, near Goodyear,
where most of them have made
their homes.
Restaurants, banks, and stores
make it a point to have at least
one person on their staffs who
can use the sign language.
The depression somewhat de-
pleted the ranks of silents at
Goodyear, as it did un-handicap-
ped people, but with the begin
ming of World War II they came
back in increasing numbers,
many of them going to Good
years subsidiary, the aircraft
corporation.
At Aircraft they were used
first in airplane assemblies, later
as riveters, drillers, checkers
and many other tasks. Usually
they worked in groups, but oc-
casionally a silent would be
given a job among other work
ers.
QUICK TO LEARN
A special training program for
silents was set up, with IL per-
sons to a class-the first train
ng-within-industry program
ever devised for mutes.
They have displayed unus-
ual ability to understand pro
duction methods, their instruct
ors report. 1t takes no longer
for a silent to be trained for a
particular job than it does for
anyone else. OF those who have
passed their training and are
working for Goodyear, 20 per
cent are women.
Many of them have sons in
the service-for the children of
these people are not similarly
afflicted-and they have been
faithful in buying war bonds
and contributing in other ways
to the winning of the war. Be-
cause they are not likely, TO be
