World Var some 40. mi Iii on acres of Farm land in Europe had been aband- oned. To off set this about 3l

Yates At Home
from page one)

The colonel stepped out of the jeep
and strobe up to the group. One
or two turned around as the col
onel stepped out of his jeep. No
one said anything or showed any
sign of recognition. They just
figured he was another officer
coming into the camp for some
official inspection. Reaching the
group, Colonel Mucci asked: care
you the men who came out of the
prison camp?"
Eyes sir" answered one getting
to his feet.
We'll, how are YOU" said the
colonel, extending his hand, Pm
Colonel Mucci".
For a moment the man stood mo-
tiOnless. Then he extended his
hand and shook hands with the
colonel looking at him the while
as if the colonel was something
out of awonderful dream. By
this time, the other men were up
on their feet and fighting for a
chance to shake haf7ds with the
colonel and thank him for their
liberation.
Immediately the word got around
the camp that Colonel Mucci was
there. In practically no time at
all, he was surrounded by over a
hundred men. Everyone of them,
to a man, produced either an
address book which came in a Red
Cross package they had received
earlier or Japanese invasion mon
ey and asked the colonel for his
autograph
An elderly man came up to the
colonel, shook his hand and said:
MAY you always be in good
health, sir" The procession con-
tinued for three hours with the
colonel shaking hands, talking to
the men and signing his name and
address on the bills.
AS one man handed the colonel
worthless Jap invasion peso he
said, 'The money is not worth any
thing. sir but with your name on
it, it will be worth a million dol
lars"
Private First Glass (now Cor
poraD Lawdell Yates, of Coolidge,
who was captured on Bataan where
he fought with the 31st Infantry
said. as he accepted the autograph
ed bill from Colonel Mucci, Il
guess you know this is going to be
framed, sir"
Il don't know that it's worth
it," answered the colonel.
''It sure is, fella," retorted Yates
forgetting his military courtesy.

Later, as Yates was visiting
with a group of Rangers who had
assisted In the historic rescue, he
asked them to autograph the BILL
also. One Of the signatures, that
of Pfc. Virgil Dixon, drew Yates
special attention; he used to know
boy by that name when he was
a kid. where are you from?' he
asked Dixon. "Checotah, Okla
homa, was the reply. $50 am l."
said Yates. The two had gone to
school together as boys.
Colonel G. c. Jerome, of Bur-
ton, Kansas, commander of the 1st
Marine Aircraft Wing now opera
ting on Luzon, arrived at the
camp during Colonel Mucci's visit
to clothe and arrange for movement
of the Marines who were freed.
Hearing that Colonel Mucci was
there, Colonel Jerome sent a man
to find the Ranger commander.
When they met, Colonel Jerome
shook hands with the Ranger say
ing "A splendid job, colonel"
A marine came up at this point
proudly wearing a jacket he had
just received with a marine en-
blem. Colonel Mucci seeing the
emblem said: Pretty proud of
being a marine, aren't you?"
Eyes, sir" shot back the marine,
and turning to Colonel Jerome,
said: Colonel Mucci moved us
from He'll to Heaven, sir"
