CHAPTER IS

"HF men I had to leave behind at Sheng
Tai Tun. when the JapS moved me to
my final camp, underwent miSera-
BILE 19li-l945 winter. They, too, received
Red Cross packages on the day we parted.
But the JapS took charge of dispensing the
goods, and to make certain that the men
did not store any goods away, against
harder times, the JapS punched holes in
each can of meat and opened other foods in
such a way as to make the matter go bad
unless consumed quickly.
But the meat, cheese, canned butter
and powdered milk in the packages
worked miracles with the men, Gen.
Beebe later reported to me. They gained
weight after we left until most of them
were within 20 or % pounds of their
normal weight
Their long months of starvation and
their advancing years, however, had
caused serious dental troubles. Some Of
their teeth had been broken or loosened by
beatings Many Of the prisoners at Sheng
Tai Tun during that hard winter suffered
from assesses and their jaws were swollen
to point where in some cases they were
not able to eat for as many as two or three
days.
The officers formed their old musical
organization again and were permitted to
move from one place TO another IN the
camp area putting on their shows.
s.
TNHE first real trouble with the Jap cap
Il tors that winter came when the men
were ordered to dig foXholes in ground
which was frozen as solid as battleship's
anner. But the Japs finally had their way,

Today Gen Wainwright tells of black market and how
u. 5. prisoners stole food and sold it to fellow capves
of getting news of the outside world. An
He became friendly with Jap sentry who
could speak a little English and made a
bargain whereby he would give the sentry
his wristWatch in exchange for three Jap
newspapers. He knew that Coils. Hoffman
and Wood were expert translators.
Those newspapers were perhaps
among the most expensive in the history of
publishings The sentry dangerously stole
them from the camp commanders office
and they had to be returned to the COM
mander's desk at a certain time each night.
All concerned took the risk, and expense
a high tribute to the value Of newspaper,
even Jap paper.

nc %% wainwright Tells of Nip Factory Sabotage
Vital Parts Buried
In Cement Bases

The Jap soldier who stole the papers
sent word to our men that they must
never discuss news within earshOt of any
other Jap, for if suspicion fell upon him
the Americans would most surely be
severely punished and he himself would
be executed.
The papers continued to be delivered
to our men under cover of darkness, and
their WristWatches and later their fountain
pens and automatic pencils disappeared
one by one. They learned with mounting
excitement that the war in Europe was
going we'll, and that Japan proper was be-
ing bombed by B-29s. They could not
imagine what a B-29 looked like, but the
bombing was enough. They learned, too
from these papers of MacArthur's landings
President Roosevelt, and they spread these
tremendous words from mouth to mouth.
ON MAY 20, 1915, the Jap commander Of
" the camp angrily told them that since
they refused to work he was sending them
to Mukden, where they would find sterner
treatment
They were shipped to a new prison
camp which the Japs had erected near
-Mukden as a permanent home for Allied
captives. Apparently it was built on the
presumption that Japan not only would win
the war but would keep many prisoners at
work for years to come. For the men were
told when they reported that if they obeyed
all rules, in the next 10 or 20 years to
come their relatives from America would
be permitted to visit them! Still, they re-
fused to Work.
The new camp lay close to large fac
tory, designed to turn out machine tools.
More than a thousand American soldiers
and sailors with mechanical training had
been sent there and put to work in the

Local Soldier
Kills "A
Jdps
S-Sgt. Verle Olsen Fights
for Survival while SERVING
with Infantry on Okinawa.
IS RECOVERING FROM
WOUNDS IN. HOSPITAL

It was a battle Of II to one on
Okinawa April %, when S/Sgk-
Verle Olsen fought against greot
odds for his survival, according 10
word received by his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Leonard Olsen Of Libby,
last Monday.
The sergeant was trying to work
his way out of one Of the numerous
traps encountered on Okinawa. He
had succeeded in shooting eight Jap0
and was putting another clip in his
rifle when the little yellow savaeeS
managed to put bullet in Ver16S
arm, tearing a chunk out Of his
ribs, and coming out OF his back
Uncertain as to how he did Il,
young Olsen got his pistol out and
put an end to six more Japs before
going under himself. His rescuers
vouch that they counted the dead
enemy there when they came upon
Sergeant Olsen.
S/Sgt. Olsen is in a serious con-
dition in a hospital in the Marianas
Islands, where he expects to be for
about two months before being
shipped back to the States.
In June, while on Saipan, Olsen,
who is with the 9th Division Of the
Infantry, was wounded by mortar
shell, the injury including his
shoulder, arm and neck.
Having been through several Of
the battles of the Pacific Islands,
the Sergeant says that Okinawa is
so much worse, the number OF
traps being too numerous for inn
agination to comprehend, with dam
ger lurking everywhere

Edward Funk Dies
Following Fall

Fate stepped in Tuesday midnight,
and supposedly caused the death
of an oldtimer here, Edward Funk.
Gene Huchala was coming along
No. 2, east of Libby in a pickup
that night He stopped to pick up
the Birmingham boy, who lives in
that district, later picking up Funk,
who was walking along the high
way. After Funk stepped out Of the
car at his home, he stumbled, fall
ing and striking the back Of his
head against small rock. The two
young men Immediately brought
him to the hospital where the nurse
on duty dressed the wound, which
appeared to be nothing more than
small hruise. She advised the
boys take him back home and that
in the morning, when DR.. Cairns
was there, they could 60 out after
the injured man and bring him in
for further examination She also
suggested they report the incident
to either Geo. Bryant or John
Smith, city police.
The boys went back to see Funk
Wednesday morning and found him
lying on the bed just as they had
left him, but breathing quite hard.
They got the ambulance and hur-
ried him to the hospital where he
died about 1880 a. m.
Edward Funk had been in i'll
health about year, having been un-
der doctors care a good deal of the
time. 1t has not been aScertained as
yet, whether death resulted from
the small bruise or some other
cause.
Edward Funk was born in Bos-
ton, Mass, Sept. %, 1884. He came
to Libby in 1908 and has resided in
and around here since that time,
mining taking up most Of his life
work A brother, John, lives in
North Dakota.
Funeral services will be held
from Gompf Funeral Chapel. Sat-
urday, June at z o'clock.
