Grashio's face was blanched and the knuckles of his tightly clinched fists turned white as he told of the pluck of a 19-year -old boy from the air force who died from the barbar- ism of his Japanese captors.
 He was a skeleton in skin lying by a garbage pit" Grashio said. "Blow-flies swarmed over countless sores on his body. They were eating him alive. asked him if I could do anything for him.
 ''He asked me to take him away somewheres so the other boys wouldn't see him dying there like a rat"
 We all prayed for death and cursed the day we surrendered. ' Grashio added. He said he sur rendered April with It. Col. Will Ham DyesS after we had been for two months with nothing but wormy rice" Dyess' story of '"The March of Death" was released by the War Department yesterday.

We were trying to get a couple of boats ready to get of Bataan.
 TWO Jap tanks came down the road led by fifth colurnnists. There were some other fellows with us and some white flags went up. The Japs saw them but shot whenever they fetl like.
 The Planes Came
 The Jap planes kept coming over the dive bombing and shooting up our men with white flags when they felt like 1t.
 Jap enlisted men had a field day. They were under orders not to treat officers as officers. We were prodded and beaten with gun butts and taunted. About three or four thou sand of us were grouped together.
 "One soldier had pair of old shoes and new pair. He tried to put the new pair on but Jap sol- dier took them both and the sol- dier had to march I45 miles barefeet. His feet were infected and about gone.

NO VERDICT
 ON DEATH0F
 J. B. MICHAUD

How Joseph B. Michaud, Jr., came to meet death in a hot seeping vat at the East Tube Mill Plant of the Ameri- can Brass Company about November 21 will probably never be known. A finding of mo evidence of a direct or indirect character to indicate criminal liability on the part of any person." was handed down by Coroner Stephen A. Homick this morning after two months of intensive in- vestigation.
 Michaud was last seen alive shortly after 1000 p. m. on the evening of November 21 by a guard at the South Main street gate of the plant. The guard reported he saw Michaud enter the mill and walk in the direction of the vat.
 On November g, the Waterbury Police were notified that the youth was missing, and on December 1, a wallet containing Social Security and Draft card bearing NdichaudS s name was found in the solution. The tank was immediately drained of its contents, and the remains of a body was identified by work done on several teeth.
 Michaud worked on the third shift which commenced at 10:30 D. m. Interrogation of all employees of that shift failed to disclose any person who saw the deceased that evening after the gateman had ob- served him, the coroner's finding states.
 Investigation did not disclose that the deceased had any known enemies. No friends or companions of the deceased among either sex with whom the deceased associated could be found. His immediate family insisted that he was under no mental stress.

Another Tortured American Tells Of The Death March

Les Angeles, Jan. 29-(UP)-Capt. Samuel R.. Grashio of Spokane. Wash, today added to the story of American soldiers who stumbled across Bataan under the lash of their Japanese captors, then died of starvation and infection in prison camp around which gleeful guards paraded with the head of a Filipino on the end of a pole.
 Covered with lice and open sores. in agony from hunger and dysen- tery, the captured Americans watched their well-fed guards smoke American cigarettes from a "new-type package" presumably sent by the Red Cross for the pris- oners.
 T saw my companions carried out by the score day after day and I watched them die at my side from starvation, dysentery and tropical disease" said the 25-year-old offl- cer who revealed that HOO Ameri- can and 14,OO0 Filipino soldiers were beaten, starved and shot to death in the two months he was a prison CT at Camp QDonnell. in the Phil- ippines.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-29

Washingon, Jan. 29 = (UP) --Di- rector Elmer Davis of the Office of War Information disclosed today that the OWI wanted to break the Japanese prison camp atrocity re- port long before the army and navy made it public.
 But the report was held up, he added, for fear that it's release would jeopardize further exchange of civ- ilian internees between the United States and Japan. Efforts to ar range a third exchange apparently have broken down.
 Davis said the OWI learned last November of the existence of an atrocity report made by the late It. Col. William E. Dyess, Com- mander Melvyn H. Mccoy, and It. Col. s. M. Mellnik after they es- capped from prison camp in the Philippines.
 The OWI was hoping for .

Tanks Aduance Within Gun Range Of Cister1ia
70. s. Signal Corps Photo ffom NEA.

Allied Headquarters, Algiers, Jan 29-(UP)-American troops have advanced to within light artillery range of Cisternia, German strong point on the Appian way 25 miles southeast of Rome, and to- theil left British units have captured bridge on the main road from Anlo less than 20 miles below the Italian capital, it was revealed to- day.
 Official reports made it apparent for the first time that Americans were manning the right or south ern flank of the growing beach, head south of Rome and the British were operating the Allied left wing nearer the eternal city.
 The disclosure that United States units had pressed within light ar tillety reach of the Appian way in the area of Cisterna, 13 miles inland from Nettuno, made it evil dent that the vital highway link ing the two fronts had been i'm mobilized for practical purposes.
 The new American gains also nullif1ed the effectiveness of a huge new airport which Benito Mussolini built at Cisterna about 1887 in the heyday of his Fascist regime.
 British units of the Fifth Army either had bypassed or captured Carroceto, narrowing the gap be- tween them and Rome to less than a score of miles, in their thrust which oveIran the bridge three miles above that town.
 Although German resistance on the rim of the beachhead was mounting, 1t still showed no sign of a full dress counter blow that would imperil the Allied positions.
 Beachhead Enlarged
 (Reynolds Packard, United Press War Correspondent representing the combined U. s. Press. said advanc- eS Friday enlarged the Allied beach, head below Rome to 85 square mileS.)
 The bridge fell to a strongly-re- inforced British column which only 2 hours earlier beat off German counter attack at Carocetto, three miles to the south. Though the B-ltiSn uele wei beyond Carocetto, there was no indication that the town had been captured.
 The advance put the British about half way to Albano, where the Anzio road joins the ancient

Yonks Bomb Frankfurt In ops Roid

London, Jan. 29-(UP)-The Un- nited States Eight Air Force today well over 300 big bombers--the heav- fest force of four -motored planes ever directed against 8 single tar get in the history of aerial warfare at Frankfurt, rail and industrial hub of southwest Germany.
 The record fleet of fortresses and 1iberators streamed out over the Bri- tish coast at dawn while British bombers still were returning from their second straight night of bomb ing Berlin. An estimated 1,500 to 2,000 tons of explosives razed anoth- CT section of the staggered capital. 1 The fighter-escorted American heavy bombers probably dumped more than 2,000 tons of bombs on Frankfurt, city of 550,00O and one of Germany's busiest industrial centerS. Frankfurt,s last ordeal by fire and explosion was on December 20, when the Royal Air Force rocked the city with 2,O00 tons of bombs.
 The greatest officially announced numbr of heavy bombers dispatch eQ pICfAOuoAy 4AOlIl o4AVe1AAA "oo oAAS more than 700 on January Il, and that force scattered to five targets in west and central Germany to fight one of the most sensational air battles of the war.
 |. Thus the size of the fleet over Frankfurt at least eQualled that of the RAF force over Berlin less than 12 hours earlier.
 American heavy bombers had raided Frankfurt only once before, on September 4 when Fortresses attacked an aircraft factory there at.a cost of IS bombers.
 Coastal observers reported that the passage of the forts and Liber- ators took more than half an hour. Soon thereafter high flying squad rons of fighters went out to keep the rendezvous at relay points across France and over the target area.
 While the bombers were over Europe, the fighters shuttled back and forth over the coast. and simultaneously typhoon fighter bomberS sped out toward France to hit the invasion coast.

New News
 Program PIun

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 2o.-UP)- A four-point program to encourage the fullest international flow of news was proposed last night by Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, in an address at the anni- versary dinner of the Michigan Press association.
 "The program I suggest" Baillie said. Ifs one in which free competi- ton Is recognized as fundamental because the flow of world news never can be too free. It is based on the principle of free and fair competition in news gathering and distribution for which the United Press has fought and campaigned in virtually every country of the world since the UP was founded in 1907.
 Tt would provide freedom to com- pete in gathering news everywhere and freedom to compete in distribut- ing that news to all who want it.
 ''To achieve this necessitates:
 "1. News sources, particularly of- ficial sources, competitively open to all.
 2. Transmission facilities com- petitively available to all.
 "3. A minimum of official regula- tion of the flow of news itself.
 A. All newspapers throughout the world to have access to all pos- sible sources of news.
 Under the pre-war news cartel participated in by the worlds goy- ernment news agencies 1t often was the practice for those governments to favor their own news service when they distributed newsworthy official. pronouncements. Govern ments tried in this way to bottle up important news long encusn t0 provide beats for their own agen-
