Captive jap
Advises Pals
to Surrender
By CHARLES McMURTY

HILL l29, BOUGAINVILLE,
Solomon Islands, Mar. 26-(De-
layed)-(P)-A Japanese super
Tor private captured two days
ago made a dramatic broadcast
today to his former comrades in
the Sixth Imperial division Ito
give up the futile fight against
superior American forces and
equipment"
The 24-year-old Japanese S
words were full of emotion and
he delivered his broadcast with
many gestures. 1t was relayed
TO the enemy in opposing lines
few hundred yards away
through two powerful loud
speakers.
He told his former comrades
he was being well treated, we'll
fed and implied they would be
accorded the same kindness If
they surrendered. However, the
Japanese prisoner specifically
promised nothing and didn't di-
rectly invite surrender.
The Japanese, whose name
was not given, expressed sur
prise at treatment accorded him
shortly after his capture and a
few hours later he suggested
that he'd like to tell his COM
rades that Americans were not
maltreating their captives.

head and arms. An injury or
wound in the head would clear
up the homicide suspicion, and
examination of the teeth or
finding of ring or wrist watch
would aid in Identification.
In addition to searching for
further parts of the body, State
Police are combing the area for
evidence of shallow grave dis
turbed by flood waters which
swept the Clinton River early in
March.
Whether or not the body was
unclothed when buried or aban-
doned was not determined at the
autopsy. The corpse showed no
trace of clothing, but DR.. Sny-
der said that clothing of light
weight would have entirely dis
appeared in the course of a

RECALL HANGING e.
Nearby Broadway Park was
the scene of similar gruesome
find May q, l943, when the
body of a woman later identi-
fled as soldiers wife from De-
troit, was found near a park
building. Death was apparently
due to hanging, since a rope
about the woman's neck had
been tied to a building rafter,
but investigation revealed that
the rope had been severed with
knife, allowing the body to
fall to the ground before it was
found.
Despite the clue of the sew
cred rope, the case was record
ed as suicide in official files.
Investigators have so far failed
to find any connection between
the 1913 death and the latest
mysterious body, although it
had been pointed out that the
most recently discovered body
had been dead lat least a year"
which would bring the two
deaths close together.

Boston. June i0--(UP)-- Gordon B. Hanlon, president of the Aldree Investment Trust and the Easter1 Racing Association, Inc, testified Friday in '. s. District Court tha' he casf1ed in some of the trusti utility holdings to reinvest tht money irl eastern racing because the latter was "sounder investment"
 Hanlon made the statement dur ing hearing on petition brought by Charles P. Stratton of New York, a bondholder in the trust, who seeks an injunction to restrain Hanlon and other officers of the firm from serving in their present capacities. A similar suit brought by the secur- ities and exch"~Te commission has been taken une z advisement. Both suits asked tha. a receiver be ap- pointed.
 Hanlon acknowledged that he bought its bonds.
 He added that he sold two utility stocks in the trusts portfolio Penn sylvania Light, Water & Power co. and Consolidated Gas & Power of Baltimore securities-to put the money to work in a sounder busi- ness" The Eastern Racing Associa- ton operates the lucrative Suffolk Downs horse race track in East Boston. Both suits contend that Hanlon'S group was guilty of "gross abuse of trust" in purchasing rac- ing stock which was termed high ly speculative and not readily mar ketable."

Engine 2 Wins
 As Fitz Flops

When the smoke eaters get to- gether on the field of sport, there is sure to be plenty of action, a few protests and sometimes postwar thumbing of the rule book; but the game is the thing, and that is why Engine 2 and Headquarters softball teams tried their luck the other night. Though 27 runs were scored, the winners, Engine 2, had just enough to win, taking a IA to 13 decision over the boys from Field street, who were short-circuited by an alleged moundsman. Jack Fitz- gerald, by name, whose pitching arm joints sounded like the creaking of the Old Man Wheel at Hamilton Park when 1t was in its rotating prime in 1876.
