Conference and came here en- route
to his homeland. His arrival in
Czechoslovakia will be the first

the late DR.. Thomas Garrigue Ma
saryk. The popularity of Mr.. Ma
saryk in Washington has gained
during the years since he first came

moted to Counselor, then to Charge

GUAM, April 27-At medium alti-

to $50 Super Fortresses bombed six

and Osumi Peninsulas, while "others
winger their way through the Bungo
Channel" which separates Kyushu
from the island of Shikoku.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 27 tP).-
American Super Fortress raids are
lifting heavy burden from the
minds of japanese whose homes
they destroy, Japan's propaganda
chieftain says.
DR.. Hiroshi Shimomura, president
of the Board of Information, de-
scribed the effects B-29 raids had
on the morale of the homeless, ac-
cording to Domei news agency.
"Shimomura said," Domei report
ed, that 10 people out of 10 with
whom he has come in contact have
expressed the view that they felt
light-hearted and that a heavy bur-
den has been taken off their minds,
because prior to their misfortune
they had had to worry about their
property and belongings"

House Group Moves
To Correct 'CoddIing'
OF German Prisoners
~ the Associated Press.

Told emphatically that the
Army has no intention of junk
ing the Geneva War Prisoner
Convention, the House Military
Affairs Committee moved today
to correct isolated cases of what
some members called "coddling."
War Department representatives,
awaiting recall Monday for further
questioning into the handling Of
prisoners in this country, conferred
with committeeman on reports that
In some cases prisoners were being
treated too leniently.
Brig. Gen. B. M. Bryan, jr., in
charge Of the Army's prisoner pro-
gram, said he would check up i'm
mediately" and take steps to pre-
vent repititions.
Denies They Attend Dances.
There have been some mistakes"
In the program, he acknowledged
at yesterdays opening session. But
he said they have been rectified
promptly when discovered.
Gen. Bryan denied emphatically
that prisoners were allowed to at
tend dances, were "overfed," were
moved from one climate to another
at their own request, or were fur
nished things that American GIs
can't obtain.
The departments general policy,
the ofi1cer asserted, Is that:
Work-Every employable prisoner
of war will be placed at essential
work, but not in competition with
civilian labor. Prisoners who can
but won't work, won't eat. And
they'll work up to IL hours daily.
Food-The ration point value of
the current menu is less than that
authorized for civilians. The daily
ration cost is Is cents. 1t provides
maximum of 4 ounces of meat per
prisoner per day. The meat comes
principally from the internal or
gans as distinguished from beef"
"Simple, Direct" Discipline.
Discipline-"We never ask an en-
listed prisoner of war whether or
not he wants to work. We tell him
to work, and he either works or he
doesn't eat. There is nothing brutal
about this treatment. It is simple,
direct, to the point, and gets re-
suits"
Cigarettes-"Roll your own" and
pay for the "makin's" Until re-
Gently, prisoners were allowed to-
purchase three packs of "off-brand'
cigarettes weekly.
Pay-Enlisted prisoners get 10
cents q day if not working, and 80
cents If working, paid in canteen
cupons. Of1icers aren't required to
work and receive allowance up to
$40 monthly. to be billed to Germany
after the war.
1883 Escapes, 1861 Caught.
Escapes-There has been a total
of 1888 escapes, with % still at
large. mot a single act Of sabotage
has been committed" by an escaped
prisoner of war.
Sabotage-Possibly three cases by
prisoners in confinement. Two pris-
oners threw sand in a railroad jour-
nal box; another drove nails into
jeep tires. A third case, not def
nitely established, involved paint
ruined by foreign material. Dates
and places were not specified,
