NEW YORK-Herbert Brownell, jr.
whose immediate job is to try to win the
presidency for Thomas E. Dewey, is
working full time and overtime at his
only hobby-politics.
Quietly and always in good humor,
he maps from $50 am to midnight or
later the biggest of four campaigns his
close friend, the Governor Of New York,
asked him to manage.
Visitors seem endless and telephones
ring necessarily in the suite at the
Hotel Roosevelt in midtown New York,
where Brownell, slightly baldish at 40.
has his ofices as chairman Of the Re-
publican National Committee.
Perhaps the calmest person there is
Brownell, whose voice always is low
pitched, without excitement or anger.
A Manhattan lawyer when he's not
campaigning, his perpetual smile gets
broader when he talks politics.
Brownell's library-in the nine room,
three-story brick and stucco house he
owns in secluded Gramercy Park on the
East Side-is filled with books on law.

And Dewey, who lost the first try in

Last year, Dewey called on Brownell

the Netherlands Minister of Overseas
Territory, DR.. Hubertus Van Nook, said
in a recent speech that every vestige
of collaborationist activity among In
donesians has disappeared because of
Japanese behavior.
The Japs closed many schools and
uniformly discouraged attendance among
native children. They closed churches,
banned Christian worship, and pro-
hibited any reference to Dutch rule or
use of the Dutch language. School
children were permitted to sing only
japanese songs. Many were forced to
work in vegetable gardens to feed Jap
soldiers, the Dutch report.
The same sort of thing appears to
have gone on in Australian New Guinea
farther east but in this area many
natives retreated to the hills and posted
lookouts to avoid Japanese raiding
parties who came after native laborers.
These natives now are returning to the
coastal country and are working for
Allied armies at fixed rates of pay.
Native infantry is now penetrating
deep into the jungles back of Hansa
Bay, bringing Back Japanese prisoners
who have fed inland before the Allied
advance.
Fantastic Records.
Gordon Williams, Australian broad
cast correspondent, reports: Some of
these natives have fantastic records of
capture. One has $50 Japanese to his
credit, either captured or killed in single
handed combat. They always bring
in good number of japanese who do
not elect to fight to the death. The
number of resolute Japanese met is
steadily declining. Most of them prefer
to yield"
The Netherlands civil administrators
have been trained in Australia during
the past two years. They are reopening
schools and churches which the jap
anese had closed and are restoring civil
ian life within the limits of Allied mill
tary occupational needs.

A detailed picture of how Japan has
treated the conquered peoples of New
Guinea and the Netherlands Indies is
emerging Reports are coming back
from Dutch civil administrators ad-
vancing with American troops in the
Southwest Pacific.
1t is picture of unrelieved cruelty to
populations noted for their peaceful
nature. Its monotony of abuse is al
most unbelievable when you remember
the japanese ballyhoo about "libera-
ton"
The details, drawn from liberated
natives, are taken by the Dutch as dis
crediting completely the claims of Jap
anese propagandists that they won over
the natives through a "velvet-glove"
policy.
Latest information reaching Dutch
officials in this country, here disclosed
for the first time, quotes seven natives,
men and women. who went through
Japanese rule in Dutch New Guinea:
Every one was put to work at the
airfields from in the morning until IL
y
morning. For this they were paid 20
Dutch cents per day (about II cents in
American money! in addition to their
food, which consisted of a couple of
pounds of sago "a starchy food made
from the pith of the sago palm).
Beaten for Smoking.
when the men Jagged at their work,
to have smoke, they were beaten with
lengths of wood spades, hammers-in
short, with anything that was handy.
When the men were away from home,
the Japanese would enter and steal
whatever they could find. They would
also enter bedrooms in search of jewelry
which was promptly 'requisitioned. At
night japanese soldiers would lie in
ambush for young women and gardens
would be plundered.

pounds each. But neither salt nor sugar
was available"
This report adds that a revolt was
planned along the coast, but was aban-
doned when it was realized that native
spears and knives would stand no
chance against japanese weapons.
Another Dutch report from the New
Guinea coast:
Sick and half starved Javanese
drought hundreds of miles from their
home island for forced labor rescued by
American forces say that early this year
Japan launched a drive to mobilize
every man, woman and child in Java

condition with little food.
Some were students who had been
told they were being sent to study at
the Tokyo Agricultural University. OF
the 100 Javanese liberated in the re-
mote Hollandia area, 80 on Biak Island
and 140 on Noemfoor. few were able to
stand after months of cruelty and semi
starvation"
The Dutch report that throughout
liberated areas of Dutch New Guinea
the people say they had been forced to
work on airstrips and defense projects.
The unwilling had their throats cut or
were punished by having stones tied
tightly under the armpits or behind the
knee joint.
One Javanese reported that the Japs
