LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 8. tUP)
Nearly $500 former prisoners of
the japanese, one of the largest
contingents ever to leave the Phil
ippines, arrived here Wednesday en-
route to their former homes.
Almost half of the 1894 emaciat-
ed men, women, and children were
American citizens. The remainder
were largely British, Filipino, and
Canadian.
For many of the children, it was
the first sight of America. and
many Of the parents behaved as
though it were the first time they
had really believed in their freedom.
Some Of them were almost penni-
less and dependent on Red Cross aid
to get to their scattered homes.
Most of them had spent more than
three years in Philippine intern
ment camps. One returnee died en-
route within sight of her homeland.
She was Mrs. Mary L. Reynolds of
New York, coming back to the main
land with her husband, Ralph.
