The propaganda tales told to
Japanese soldiers about the fe-
rOcity of Marines seemed to
have preceded the Marines into
Japan.
Fifth Division artilIerymen
were installing lights in a build
ing at Kawatana on Kyushu one
day. The natives were helping
them. One of them turned to
Marine Corporal George J. Byr-
mes, "a, of 1920 East Main Street,
Waterbury, Conn, and asked
him in hating English what
armed service he was in.
"The Marines" answered Byr-
mes.
Within two minutes, every ma
tive had fed the building.
When the Marines first landed at
Sasebo, the Japanese youngsters
gave them their version of an Amer
lean hand salute. Then they learned
that such salute was often reward
ed with candy. Now the children
have combined the salute and
silent request for candy. They salute,
then bring their hand down from
the forehead, the motion winding up
IN an outstretched hand.
Fishing isn't sport in Japan
Marines on occupation duty see
ragged tots fishing in Sasebo's
dirty streams with little bamboo
poles that would bend under a
minnOw. They are casting for
the remnants of Japan's fish
supply.
When they see Marine, they
smile. They seem to think that
the Americans will bring the big
fish back to SasebO.
