ACCUSED TRAITOR
PLEADS LOYALTY

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 13.- W.D -
Mark Lewis Streeter Of Lewiston
Idaho, only American on Gen:
Douglas MacArthur's first list OF
war criminals, insisted today that
he had worked for radio Tokyo with
his tongue in his cheek "to assist
the American war effort"
Streeter, At, who was captured
on Wake Island, admitted that he
had g.ined the confidence Of the
japanese by writing a poem bit
terly denouncing the late. President
Roosevelt.
II was playing very dangerous
game and there was no turning
back or I would have lost my
head" he said. my real purpose
was to assist the American war Ell
fort and to aid prisoners OF war
as much as possible.
Gin Ogden, Utah, the accused
mans father. George Streeter, and
his wife expressed confidence that
Streeter was innocent. The father
said he believed the charges against
his son were "au fictitious. MS.
Streeter said, lever since I've
known my husband he's always
hated the Jap's so bad he Wouldn I
20 into a store owned by one.
Streeter, who wrote scripts and
did broadcasts for Radio Tokyo
fo. almost two years, couldn't ex-
lain away the fact however that
his fellow prisoners hated him.
He admitted that this bitter feel
ing had caused him to move into
a separate barracks, although he
continued to eat with the other
internees.
He was civilian employee on
Wake Island when it fell in Dec
ember l94l. He spent 40 days as
metal, lathing and plaster work
er before the japanese attacked.
Il believe the course l took was
beneficial to the United States. ,"
he said. Il can prove it by wit
nesses and papers I've saved. I
know l can justify my actions be-
fore the United States govern
ment."
The slightly built, full-bearded
former fruit and dairy farmer
freely admitted disseminating the
worst type of propaganda over ra-
ola Tokyo but claimed that he
frequently crossed up the Japan
ese. by slipping in material detri-
mental to them.
After leaving Wake, Streeter
was taken to Woosung, near Shang-
hal, where he worked as an cleo
trician before being moved to
Nangwang camp near Shanghai.
At Kiangwang, Streeter said he
got the idea of escaping but figur-
ID he couldn't make it so he de-
:ided to curry favor with the Jap.
lnese in order to accomplish his
purpose, which he said was pa.
uiotic rather than selfish
The first major step toward at.
tracting attention was his poem
on President Roosevelt. He sale
the japanese published it in the
Nippon Times and read it over
the radio. Streeter claimed he no
longer had a copy of the poem,
and he refused to recite it.
The Japanese then asked sever.
prisoners whether they had any
writing or radio experience.
Streeter said several gave their
names, hopeful of getting better
jobs although they did not have
such experience.
Then Streeter was suddenly TAX
en- from Shanghai for an unknown
destination and Nov. %, 1943 ar
rived at the Omori camp where
he was placed in barracks hous-
ing war prisoner writer's, broad
casters, actors, artists, and mu-
sicians. All were interviewed on
their views concerning the war
and politics.

TRUCKDR!vER MIyJES
SERIOUS INJURY TWO
TIMES IN one WEEK

Art Littlefield of Douglas, truck
driver employed by the Lemon
Greek Sand & Gravel Co, narrowly
escaped serious injury yesterday
when the steering wheel of the
truck he was driving locked as he
went around the curve of the Doug
las Highway toward the approach to
the Douglas Bridge, and the truck
crashed through the guard rail and
over the embankment.
Littlefield was picked up by Dave
Burnett, and taken to st. AIMS
Hospital, where he was found to be
uninjured except for severe bruises
around the chest and ribs.
This is the second time within a
week that Littlefield has missed
what might have been serious in
juries. During the stormy weather
of last week, he was driving across
the Douglas Bridge when loose
board on the bridge deck was picked
up by the wind and sent smashing
though the windshield showering
Littlefield with glass, but without
giving him 50 much as a scratch.

DOUGLAS
NEW
PANAMINT WINS

In a practice game last evening
at the Douglas Gym, the Panamint
boys walked away with a basketball
game played with the Douglas High
Huskies, with final score of 20 to
a.
This was the first practice game
of the season for the Douglas
boys, who were coached by tenn
porary acting coach Earl Miller,
no permanent coach having as
yet been appointed for the squad.
However, the Huskies looked like
a real fighting team again this
year.
A chance for revenge will be
afforded the Douglas lads this
evening when they tangle with
the best the Destroyer Halford
has to offer.

Nothing in the law discriminates

If you're single and have an in

L. N. F., Jr., of South Bend, asks
There is a correspondence course
I would like very much to take, but
l don't know if I can get the OK
Does the CT Bill give us men the
right to take a correspondence
course?"
Under the present law, correspon-
dence courses aren't allowed, but
possibly the law may be amended
to include them in the term 'educa-
ton and training institutions Such
an amendment already has passed
the House, and now is before the
Senate Finance Committee.
Question from w. =. =, Mont
gomery: Exactly what does the sub
sistence allowance cover under the
Gil Bill education program?
1t covers all living expenses-such
as eating, room, laundry, and other
personal items. The allowance can
be spent as the veteran sees fit.
G.. E. c., of Fillmore, Oklahoma,
asks this question: How and when
does one convert CT insurance into
some old line company insurance.
This isn't an unusual question, be-
cause it seems like many Of cur
bunch have somehow gotten the idea
that commercial life insurance COM
panies take over from the govern
ment when National Service Life
insurance is converted
But that's wrong. It's still gov
eminent insurance-not commercial
insurance National Service Life in
surance is issued originally as term"
insurance at very low premium
rate. 1t has to be converted to
permanent form Of life insurance
(three kinds-ordinary life, 20-pay
life, or 30-pay life) but it's still
National Service Life insurance.
The period allowed to convert was
five years after the original date of
insurance-now its eight years.
Question from r. T., San Fran
cisco: IN converting CT insurance
to permanent type of policy-a 20
pay life policy = does the 2o-year
period start from the date OF con-
version or from the time the insur-
ance was first issued?"
The 2o-year period starts from the
date of conversion.
But it's possible to convert back
to- the date the original policy was
taken out, by paying approximately
the difference between the prem
iums for say three years since you
first took out National Service Life
term" insurance. Maybe, if you
had been allowed originally to buy a
20-pay life policy (Which you were
not it would have cost you $500 in
