a soft peace for the japanese is

After the surrender of Bataan,
the general officers and colonies
were separated from the prisoners
of other ranks and shipped to Camp
ODonnell in the Philippines.
Conditions were miserable there.
But we had the weather on our side
The rainy season had not begun.
The men We're in pitiful physical
condition. The japanese had taken
away all our supplies. The men
were kept as clean as possible, but
cleanliness even on open wounds,
raw wounds, does not ease the pain
These conditions were just one of
the many injuStices which cannot
be tempered by the years.
There were close to $4,000 Filipino
soldiers with us--and We saw them

ground was too hard to dig deep
enough for safety, so it was not un-
usual to see dogs digging up the
bodies at night and tearing them
apart.
We had to bury our dead. too: and
until a man buries another under
these conditions, no amount of
imagining can measure the horror

men and gave them a burial as

First Prison Camp.
At the first prisoner camp in the
Philippines, the men lived in bar
racks which had been built by the
Americans for the Filipinos. We
were crowded; there were hundreds
of men more than the accommoda-
tions would normally allow. The
food was poor-mill- ill-sweepings of
rice with few small sweet pota-
toes for good measure-or more as
a temptation.
From O'Donnell. we went TO Tar
lac, where a few enlisted men were
taken along as orderlies.

$500 Left Homeless,
Crop Damage High in
North Carolina Flood
e. the Associated Press.

FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., Sept 21.-
The Cape Fear River, out of it's
banks in one of the States worst
floods in years, left thousands home
less today and caused untold damage
to crops and buildings in this south
eastern section of North Carolina.
Red Cross officials said last night
that $500 persons already had been
evacuated from flooded areas and
that the total was expected to
reach at least $500 today.
Fayetteville was about 20 to 25
per cent under water, Red Cross
workers estimated. Widespread low
lying areas were heavily awash.
Army Aids Homeless.
The town of Dunn, about 25 miles
northeast of here on the east bank
of Cape Fear converted schools
and other public buildings into sane
tuaries for evacuees.
Army personnel from nearby Fort
Bragg aided in moving marooned
and homeless victims to safety.
Servicemen constructed a tent city
in which hundreds were given
shelter.
With the water receding in some
sections, the worst was expected to-
be over today. Richard N Hart, in
charge of Red Cross activities, said.
Highway System ParaIyzed. !
The 17lst Evacuation Hospital
was placed in full operation here
and the Army also joined in provid-
ing food for the victims. Military
police. State highway patrolmen
and Red Cross workers united in
directing traffic and other problems.
School buildings and other struc-
lures here also were placed at the
disposal of the homeless and des-
titute.
The State Highway Department
reported the highway system in the
eastern part of the State paralyzed.
Some roads, however, were opened
as the foodwaters receded.
United States Highway l, blocked
Wednesday night south of Rocking
ham, was reported open today. Also
reported as opened, was North Caro-
lima highway 81 from Fayetteville
to Sanford. Fayetteville hitherto
had been marooned, since all major
highways leading into it were in

days and months of waiting had
come to an end, and that we were
once again free.
When they landed, Gen. VAIN
wright and l were in our room. A
Japanese soldier ordered us outside.
We said nothing-we never said
anything when Jap spoke to us
but followed him outside. We looked
at each other-that look which had
come to mean so much in those dark
and dreary days. Once outside, We
stood at attention-We were not
afraid. A soldier learns to steel
himself against anything and every
thing while in the hands of the
enemy, and especially an enemy like
the Jap. The Jap commander,
through his interpreter, announced
that by order of the Emperor we
were no longer prisoners of war.
When we heard these words, we
returned to barracks. silent and
thoughtful. We sat down on our
cots, Gen. Wainwright and I, both
offering silent prayers of thank
fulneSS.
For some reason we were not sur
prised at the news. News drifts
into prison camps. We had heard
that the Americans were coming.
From that day we were free, but
none of us quite realized it. we
followed our regular routine until
August "a. when the Russians ar
rived.
From then on, time began to turn
back. I began to live over in my
mind the days in prison and to re-
view the mental picture of injustices
suffered.
Injured Buried Alive.
May we Americans never forget
the inhuman treatment our men re-
ceived! I am ashamed to say I
could not be with them on that
humiliating journey from Bataan.
I know they went through a living
hell. Don't ever forget that the Japs
never shoot. They use the bayonet.
Men were left helpless and dying

Americans returning to the Orient S

ALL-AMERICAn INSTITUTE
DRIVES ON JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY ON COAST

LOS ANGELES, Nov. % (ANP)
Juvenile delinquency is due to re-
ceive another blow when the All
American Industrial institute, re-
Gently incorporated under the laws
of the state of California, gets
underway. This organizations plan,
according to many authorities on
youth problems, is practical and
workable.
This idea is the brainchild of the
Rev. l. Walter Holt, who has con-
cluded that it is high time religious
leaders did something tangible in
the way of combating juvenile de-
linquency in our city and state.
The organization proposes, there
fore, the purchasing of GAO acre
farm in Riverside county which will
care for 800 or more underprivi-
legged children. On such project
the youth will have advantage of
clean, outdoor work, as we'll as
proper vocational and religious

training, to assure them of health
in body and mind. They will at the
same time, become self-sustaining
and will prove assets rather than
liabilities, when they go to take
their places in the community.
Says Rev. Holt, 1--WE must place
the blame where it belongs" He is
of the opinion that the problem of
child delinquency should be handled
through the home and the church,
rather than having them brought
into the city courts. This has be-
come necessary because parents and
teachers have been lax in their re-
sponsibility, and Rev. Holt most
keenly feels the need of helping
underpriviledged Negro boys and
girls.
The site which the organization
proposes to purchase will cost
100000. The amount is to be raised
through public donations and SUBJ
scriptions; and the maintenance
will be handled through organiza-
ton and individual memberships.
