("All this group were with me
on the tragic day when I had to
surrender, and I'm especially
anxious that they be present
when We accept the Japanese
surrender" Gen. Wainwright's
message to Gen. Macarthur said.
Gen. Wainwright will be al
lowed to supervise the surrender
of Gen. YamaShita when the
commander of japanese forces in
the Philippines gives up in
Northern Luzon, MICS Merrill
Mueller reported last night in a
broadcast from Okinawa.
Gen. Wainwright first will be
taken to Tokyo Bay for the over
all japanese surrender, Mr..
Mueller said, and later Gen.
Macarthur will let him return
to the Philippines to supervise
the capitulation of Gen. Yama-
shita)
One. officer now in Chungkins
told how Gen. Wainwright, who as.
sumed command of American
forces in the Philippines in 1912
when Gen. Macarthur was ordered
to leave to become supreme com.
mander In the Southwest Pacific
reacted to the second order from
the japanese to surrender on Ba.
tam The officer, who asked that
his name be withheld quoted Gen
Wainwright as saying:
I've been to General Staff School,
and the War College, but they never
taught me what to do if l was called
upon to surrender. guess we shall
have to continue fighting"
Thin but Vigorous.
Gen. Wainwright, looking thin
but displaying considerable vigor
found rest one of the most difficult
things to attain since his arrival
here. He shows signs of more than
three years of life in a Japanese
prison camp, but his voice is quiet
and firm as he goes through the
ordeals of formal press conferences
and sessions with photographers at
of Gen. Wedemeyer.
After a dinner which included the
first hamburger and ice cream he
had seen in three years, Gen. VAIN
wright had to make radio broad
cast before he could return to Gen
Wedemeyer's home and relax.
Wherever he went there were Of
ficrs and men who wanted to shake
his hand and congratulate him or
the brilliant stand at Bataan and
Corregidor which bought sorely
needed American time. He had q
greeting for all who ap-
preached him. The strain under
which this round of handshakine
and speaking placed him was almost
imperceptible, because of the great
spiritual uplift he obviously received
from the mere knowledge that he
was among friends again.
The men who accompanied Gen
Wainwright from Mukden, where he
Evening star., 1945-08-29

had been taken by the Russians
after his liberation from the Man
churian prison camp, spoke admir-
ingly of their passenger.
Col. Rasmussen said the genera
displayed an avid interest in avia-
ton during the trip to Chungkine
and Capt. H. E. Suko of Menominie
Wis, said the general took the rough
/ flying trip like veteran airman.
Gen. Wainwright said he couldn I
realize he was free when we met
him at Mukden." Capt Suko said.
The follo1Uing account OF a
Wainright press conference in
Chungking yesterday tOaS de-
layed in transit, being received

after it luas tcritten.
| Gen. Wainwright faced group
of correspondents at Gen Wede-
meyers headquarters and was in
troduced by the China commander
who said:
II know you will all share my
happiness in the return of Gen
Wainwright. He is happy to appear
before you and answer your ques.
tions. He is tired, as all these Other
men are. I know you will spare hin
as much as you can
Gen. Wainwright stood, spoke
quickly. and when he was finished
left the room.
He told the correspondents:
| My friends, here l am after
more than three years and three
months in captivity. 1t is su.
perf1uous to tell you that. when
was finally contacted in Manchuris
and again joined my comrades ir
the United States Army, it was
the happiest day of my life and
from that time on it has been just
one happy moment after another.
Odds Were Overwhelming.
Il imagine most of you know the
circumstances over which I had NO
control-and in order to avoid what
would have been a far greater dis
aster-I was forced on May s. 1912,
to tender to 1t. Gen Homna of the
japanese Army the surrender of my
forces in the Philippines.
My gallant troops had perhaps
made defense against more over
Ewhelming odds under more dis
advantageous circumstances than
troops of the American Army had
ever been confronted with in history
Il have had very little direct con-
tact with my country or official
agencies thereof or even with my
family for over three years, but such
| contacts here and there as l have
had have caused me to believe that
the administration, the War Depart
ment and the American people have
accepted my dire disaster with for
bearance and generosity which per-
haps are unique in the experience of
defeated commander.
Following the fall OF Corregidor
I was first moved to Manila, then
to a prison camp in the Philippine
Islands, thence to three different
camps Inlet us say Formosa and

Here are your prisoners, Gen.

Gen. Sharp said the Americans
did not feel too friendly toward
the japanese after the time spent
In the prison camp, but they were

The men showed wonderful self
control" the general said. They
were proud men. marching their
prisoners around"
Maj. Gen. Edward King, jr., of
