DYING Huwuiiun Soldier Sends
MESSAGE to &C. USO Worker

Into the USO lounge at Union
Station one February afternoon
came three Hawaiian soldiers-Lt.
John Chinen and two privates.
1t. Chinen did the talking. The
three had been delegated by group
of Hawaiian soldiers at Fort Meade
to make the arrangements for an
aloha" party.
Before embarking for overseas,
the officer explained to a volunteer
at the lounge, Mrs. Lloyd H. CheIl-
man, the men wanted something to
remind them of home. Could she
help them get blossoms for leis and
ukuleles and guitars.
The next hour was a busy one.
A Tourist reached through Recrea-
ton Services, Inc, agreed to supply
the blossoms. A music store said it
had no secondhand instruments
but offered to lend the men some
new ukuleles and guitars. The men,
however, had been busy themselves
and had located a pawnshop where
they could rent the instruments.
AS the man departed for the
flower store, one of the privates
smiled at Mrs Chellman and
whispered. "Orchids?" Mrs. Chell-
man smiled back at him, shaking
her head. Orchids don't grow wild
in Washington"
A few days later q letter came
for Mrs. Chellman from Fort Meade,

In insurance Rates

Savings Of $2so,000 in workmen's
compensation insurance premiums
through rate reductions were ef-
fected last year for private employ
ers, the District Department Of In
surance disclosed yesterday in its
annual report to the Commissioners.
The reduction In rates was 1871
per cent under the preceding year,
resulting from the departments con-
tinued study Of the experience of
companies writing the workmen's
compensation insurance the report
stated.
During the year passage OF new
regulations enabled the department
to expand its supervision of the
insuring of motor vehicles for hire
in the District. The regulations
prohibit the writing Of such insur-
ance by any company until the su-
perintendent of insurance finds that
the management is capable of con-
Quoting the business in the public
interest.
Licenses were issued to 528 COM
panies, 1888 agents and 1874 brokers
in the past year. Three companies
were denied licenses.
The departments. income. con-
|sisting Of taxes and fees, totaled ST.
079, 1925, an increase of more than
4$25 900 over the preceding fiscal
year. During the past year the de-
partment prepared a bill designed
to strengthen the laws relating to
industrial life insurance and to
improve other provisions of the
life insurance act. The bill was in
troduced in the House and now
awaits further action.

MARINE Corps Combat Cores
Many Japs crawled back tt
their temple to die.
Eye witness to the hara-kir
deaths of two enemy soldiers II,
the shadow of the temple during
the battle of Saipan was Pri-
vate First Glass Anton Ring, a
Marine of 1945 South list st.
West Allis, Wis.
Flee to Temple Grounds
Pfc. Ring, a member of an
engineering unit OF the Fourth
Marine Division, was sight
seeing" at the temple when he
saw two Jap soldiers running
toward him with hand grenade,
Unarmed and thinking that
they were going to attack him,
the Marine turned and fled. As
he ran, he accidently kicked
a drum on the steps of the tenn
pie.
1T caused a heavy boom and
at first I thought a grenade had
landed back of me-, Pfc. Ring
related.
He sprinted to the place
where he had le1t his weapon.
grabbed it, and started hack to
the temple steps toward the
two JapS.
BY that time however, the
Japs had reached a small clear
ing directly behind the temple
pavilion. There they held hand
) grenadeS to their bodies and
killed themselves.
Pfc. Ring went forward to in
vestigate.
Many Dead Japs Found
Il found 20 or so dead Japa-
nese soldiers there, he contin-
ued. All of them apparently
had sneaked back to the tenn
J pie to commit hara-kiri. Some
of them had blown themselves
to pieces with grenades and
land mines. We found others
who had taken off their shoes
and discharged their rifles into
their heads with their toes"
In some cases, it developed,
Jap soldiers had Sneaked back
through American lines to
reach the temple.
The edifice where the Incl
dent occurred was the most
elaborate Jap temple found on
the island. The shrine had q
long line of steps leading Up t.
it and it was typical of many Of
the temples found in the Japan
csc homeland.
Pfc. Ring regretted the sui
eide of the two Japs he en-.
countered.
Il would have preferred tt
shoot them, he remarked.

year, the writer explained the
principal of the geophysical
test, and it's Comparison be-
tween the air sound wave Gre
ated by the whistle of a loco
motive and those produced by
the explosions of dynamite in
the form of an artificial earth
quake.
At this writing Carter Oil
company Subsidiary of the
Standard Oil company of New
Jersey is engaged in shooting
areas OF southern Big Horn
county adjacent to Wyola and
the Black Gulch dome. Now
let us see how a structure is 10
Gated in this area by means of
the SeiSmograph. This inStru-
ment has been used for the
past forty years or more to re-
cord earthquakes and, in its ap-
plication to the mapping of un-
foreground structures, a minia-
ture earthquake is artificially
produced. A hole, usually from
SO to 200 feet depending upon
the area TO be mapped, is drill
ed and a charge OF dynamite,
varying usually from one-half
to 10 pounds, is placed in the
hole. The hole is then filled
with water so that when the
dynamite is exploded, as much
as possible of the shock will 60
downward. This explosion will
cause an earth Jremor, or as
the geophycists term it, "a seis-
mic wave.
In this part of Montana it
has been discovered through
previous field explatory work in
search for crude oil and natur-
al gas bearing structures, that
this tremor will advance
through the earth at an esti-
mated rate of approximately
10000 feet per second until it
encounters an abrupt change
in density At this point dur
ing the conduction of the test
a part of the seismic wave will
be reflected toward the surface
of the earth, the balance pass
ing through on US downward
journey. This reflected tremor,
when it reaches the surface, will
cause the seismometers to vi
brate. The time the dynamite
exploded and the time that the
reflected vibration reached the
surface in the area being tested
are both automatically recorded
and the time between these
two events is accurately meas
ured in ten thousandthS of a
second, which time division is
synchronized with the rate OF
! speed at which the earth tremor
travels
The lower the formation, the
longer it will take the tremor
to go down to it and come back
up to the surface, and the
higher the formation, the short
er the reflection will be-, there
fore, from this data, it can be
determined whether the layers
of strata are high OF low at a
certain point. The accumula-
ton Of this data will show the
high and low points of the area
being tested, thus enabling the
geologiSt to select the high
points or anticlines, where it is
possible that oil may be found.

made preparations to follow the
men of the merchant marine as
rapidly as new ports or beach
heads are opened, according to
advices today to j. j. Ping from
the National War Fund.
United Seamen'S Service is a
member agency of tine National
War Fund and Is supported in
part by contributions to the
National War Fund.
Within the first week after
the invasion United Seamen,s
Service had created five emer-
gency centers in southern Eng
Land ports to care for the mer-
chant seaman who are shuttl-
ing troops and supplies to
France, Mr.. Ping was advised.
As soon as possible thereafter,
trained workers of the United
Seamen's Service then advanced
to the beachheads themselves to
provide aid for merchant sea-
men who are playing an import
ant part in the liberation move
ment.
United Seamen's Service has
trained a staff for invasion
work and this staff and the FAC
ilities of the USS will follow
the merchant marine wherever
it goes, providing emergency
centers at first, and more per-
manent clubs and centers as
important ports are opened to
American shipping.
