AMERICAS DARK WEEK

THE news of the attack was flashed to the White House. Less than hour later Nomura and Kurusu blithely called on Secretary Hull With memorandum charging the United States had con- cocted far-reaching anti-Japanese conspiracy, had prevented peace in China and was readying for war with Germany and Japan. To their faces Hull ac- csed them of infamous falsehoods and distortions on scale so huge that never imagined until to- day that any government on this planet capa- ble of utterng them" Some of the straight-talking Tennessean's other remarks of the type which written history records only by dashes.
 By now the news had been broadcast through out the nation Armed guards rushed to protect public buildings in Washington. Army and Navy leaves were cancelled. Soldiers mounted shore de- lenses Americans asked the way to enllstlng sta- tonS.
 That evening U. s. time, the American ambassa- dor at Tokyo received word from the Japanese for egn minister beatedly announcing the state of war The next day grim and fighting President went into combined seSson of Congress to call the day of the attack "a date which will live in infamy" When the rollcall came on the war vote there was but one dissenter-pacist Representative Jeannette Rankin of Montana
 At the time of Pearl Harbor, other Japanese planes bombed the Philippines, Guam and Wake, Britain's port of Hong Kong in China, and Malaya Troops moved into Thailand and in the Axis pattern had host of traitors waiting to greet them as b- orators
 On December 8 they bombed Midway. Thailand capltulated and they crossed into northern Maaya
 On December they occupied the northern Gill bert islands far east of New Guinea and along the line from Pearl Harbor to Australia.
 On December 10 they landed at Aparri, on the northern tip of Luzon island in the Philippines Their planes sank two great British warshps-the bat.Ieship Prince of Wales and the battle cruiser RepA lse-o off Malaga.
 Or December Il their Axis partners-Germany and ltaly-declared war on the United States
 On December 12 after incessant bombing and >forceful landing against less than 500 American sailors and marines, they occupied Guam
 Ii was dark week. Americans coined an angry slogan: Remember Pearl Harbori" Admiral Hus- band E. Klmmel and General Walter c.

the japanese feel kindly towards
Negroes because they too are Of a
darker race, Capt. Sanders declared
that they accorded them the same
ill-treatment and abuse that they
did to whites. They had to work in
the streets of Manila, in gardens,
rice fields, and elsewhere under
their terrible task-masters, mean
while subsisting as best they could
under the meager starvation diet.
The excellent treatment and the
honors that have been shown them
during the short time he's been on
the home land have, however, some
what alleviated the terrible strain
in which he has been under.
A notable record has been that of
this recent prisoner. In the first
Worlds war he served with the
370th infantry, formerly the 9Th
Illinois. But still farther back he
began his career in the Spanish
American war with the oath in
fantry and also served in the Moro
campaign with the oath. He was in

were 16 other colored persons from
Manila proper who were impris-
oned these being classed as inter-
nees, instead Of prisoners of war,
they being civilians.
Capt. Sanders wife, Mrs. w. B.
Sanders, was released on March l
and was placed aboard the same
ship upon WHICH her husband ar
rived at San Francisco. 1t was the
first time the two had met since
they were first imprisoned by the
Japs, hence neither knew what had
been the fate Of the other. She was
placed in a hospital in San Fran
cisco and although her condition
was very critical she is also now re-
covering.
The colored captives and the
scores of whites were marched from
Bataan to San Fernando, then to
O'Donnel prison, thence to Capana
Tuan Prison camp and shipped
from there to Billibid prison, where
they remained until the islands
were again freed by Gen. MacAr-
thur. They narrowly escaped being
shipped to Japan and it was only
because the American bombing was
so terrific that the Japs could not
load them aboard ships but had to
hurry away in an effort to save
their own lives.

FIRST NEGRO PRISONER TO
RETURN, Tells OF BATAAN
death MARCH"

LOS ANGELES, Apr. 16 (ANP)
How he survived the terrible
death march" to arrive at Billibid
prison after the japanese had taken
Battan was related by Capt. Chester
Sanders of Indiana, 81 yer old vet
eran of three wars, to the Associ-
ated Negro Press.
Captain Sanders arrived here
from San Francisco and was sent
to Birmingham hospital to recover
from illness resulting from his ter
rible privations since he was cap
tured with the rest of the ill-fated
garrison on April 9, 1912. When
released on February 9, by Gen.
MacArthur's Rangers, he weighed
112 pounds from his normal 235.
Emaciated and weak, it has been
a wonder to physicians who treated
him how he'd ever survived when
so many others had died along the
terrible trial. He has now regained
over so pounds of this lost weight
due to the careful medical and nu-
tritional treatment he has received
since he became again in the hands
of his friends and compatriots.
Capt. Sanders was in the quarter
master corps although he has served
in several infanty regiments in
previous wars.
He was the first Negro prisoner to
arrive here but there are five others
who are expected here shortly. They
are Capt. Walter White of Boston,
Pfc. William Mitchell Of st. Louis,
Pfc. William Walker Of Chicago,
Pfc. William Bell and Pfc. Brownee,
both of St. Louis. incidentally there

MANS BEST FRIEND
(Arnold GlaSOW)

There is one relationship in life that is never sullied by misunderstanding It is the comradeship of man and dog. A dogs love and loyalty are complete and unre- served. He has no selfish or sinister mo- tives He hold nothing back. He responds with his entire nature to your slightest whims or wishes. The only reward he seeks is an approving word or look-or a pat of your hand.
 Foreign to dogs soul is the coldness and hardness of man. He doesn't meas ure your worth by the gold in your purse or the clothes on your back He doesn't weigh you on the scale of selfish inter- ests. He stands firm when others fail you. He is of a sterner fiber. With world events revealing mans inhumanity to to man, there is something comforting and reassuring about the fidelity and de- votion of mans best friend-his dog.

matters which might start flood of hor- rible memories in the veterans minds. We were, in short, to act as little like we'd want to act as possible. After few months of that treatment, they advised us, perhaps we could ask Bombardier Bill if he'd ever shot down any Germans. And if the first question didn't make him throw fit, we could pursue them little further.
 The boys we talk to laugh and laugh at such suggestions. They know they're normal and they hope we'll act as if we are. They do have lots of good tales to tell, but most of them don't think they are overly thrilling. Today, after it's over in Europe, they remember best the cpl sodes which were the funniest, not those which were the most tragic.
 Nothing psychoneurotic about that!

RESOLUTION BY BOARD OF HEALTH

Confronted with health prob- lem for which they could not find sufficient funds available, mem- bers of the newly organized Board of Health at it's session in Juneau last week adopted Resolution urging that a special session of the Territorial Legislature be called in order to make further appropriations to handle the stead fly increasing tuberculosis spread in Alaska. The Board said its stud ies revealed there were an estim- ated 4,000 cases of tuberculosis in the Territory with but 289 beds to care for them. It pointed out army and navy hospital can now, with the end of the war, be obtained for civilian use in the Territory but money must be made avail able if the opportunity is to be accepted by Alaska. The Board urged that immediate action be taken before the military facilities are moved from the Territory or dismantled as surplus property

NORMAL VETERANS
 Cincinnati Enquirer

CI-
 We're not reading so much these days about mental ailments purported to re- suit from military service. There was day when certain social groups were tell ing us that virtually all the men who re- turned from combat duty would be men, tai cases; that we'd have to treat them with studied care to- bring them back to the same bright, normal fellows they were when they went away.
 It would be foolish, of course, to dis count the fact that front-line service has contributed to many a nervous or men, tai breakdown. But the vast majority of the lads who are Altering back through Eastern seaports these days are essen tially the same as they were when they sailed from those ports a couple or three years ago. They are little older, great deal wiser, and generally more poised and self-contained But their minds are clear and keen, their faces don't twitch, and they don't yell "Kamerad' in their sleep.
 Armchair psychologists had a field day not so long ago telling us ordinary citi- zens the things we must do and must not do when our soldier boys came home from the wars. We were to be happy and smiling always. We weren't to put too many questions. We weren't to bring up

Seattle Sends Ambassador To Alaskan Cities

SEATTLE, Sept. IT. (P) The Washington State Advisory Con- mission announced today it plan ned to send an ambassador" to Alaska cities to convince north erners that their best interests would be served if air lines to the Orient go through Seattle.
 Though the City Council of An chorage has expressed their ap- proval of the CAB. recommenda- tion for the Chicago Edmonton route, three other Alaska cities have expressed their support for the route to be through Seattle Juneau, Ketchikan and Fairbanks Seattle itself plans to intervene in a protest against by-passing Seattle.
