Donald, Long Hunted by laps,
Found With Rescued Internees

Sucking on pipe while awaiting
transportation to an American
camp, Mr.. Donald said "the Sword
of Damocles hung over my neck un-
til today"
Reports that Mr.. Donald had been
rescued at Santo Tomas came orig
inally from Sydney. Australia. There
was no indication whether these re-
ports were published to further mis-
lead the Japanese, or whether Aus
tralians jumped to the conclusion
that Mr.. Donald was still In Santo
Tomas, where he was originally in
termed.
Obviously he was among the
many Santo Tomas internees whom
the Japanese transferred to Los
Banos.
This story from Mr.. Mcdaniel
and MI. Schedler was the first re-
sponse of Associated Press staff men
in the Philippines to repeated
queries from first-hand stories about
Mr. Donald. 1t is now apparent why
the AP men made no previous an
swer to these requests. They would
have been forced to answer that
Donald was not at Santo Tomas.
and the Japanese, monitoring all
radiocasts in the Pacific, would
have been tipped off that he might
still be in their hands.
Such reply probably would have
started search for him at Los
Banos, and quite likely might have
resulted in the japanese gendarm-
erie finding out that they had
their hands on the man they had
been hunting for years.

Marine Casualties
On Two No More
Than Navy Expected
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
United States marines have sus.
tanned approximately 5000 casual.
ties on Two Jima, no more thar
what had been expected, a Navy
spokesman said late yesterday.
The ferocity of the fighting is
almost without parallel, but, the
spokesman added, the casualties
cannot be compared to Tarawa be-
cause there are so many more
men involved at Two. Tarawa cas-
ualties numbered $500.
There were five times as many
Japanese on tiny Two as on Tarawa
with much larger number of ma
rings making the Two attack.
Two casualties in the initial assault
waves were less than expected. the
Navy man said. Despite the heavy
pre-lnvasion bombing, it is probable
that comparatively small number
OF japanese were killed since they
were able to take shelter in the
!ong-prepared fortified positions and
IN the multitude of caves.
Defenders Aided by Terrain.
The terrain and soil conditions of
the Island have worked to the ad-
vantage OF the defenders. The Jap-
anese, through years of preparation.
were able to blast and bore into the
volcanic rock maze of strong
points. The attacking marines
equipped only with intrenching
tools, are unable to dig themselves
the usual foxholes.
Two was the only island in that
area that met the requirements for
a good alrbase, the spokesman said
In explaining why the attack was
decided upon even though informa-
ton had shown Two would be strong
ly defended. There are three groups
OF islands in the area-the Volcano,
BONN and 1Zu-and in them are only
two islands, Two and Chichi, of stra-
teglc value to the United States.
Chlchi was too small and probably
as heavily defended as Two.
Capture of Mount Suribachi great
ly improves the tactical position of
the American troops battling an es-
timated 10000 japanese, the spokes-
man said.
From the vantage point on top
of the 465-foot Junior Gibraltar"
at the south tip of Two, two thirds
of the island now is under observa-
ton of artillery spoilers.
Three Advantages Cited.
Iwo's advantages will be to fur
nish fighter cover for B-29s operat-
ing against Japan, provide a base
Tor medium bombers and stop the
Japanese attacks on B-29 bases in
the Marianas.
The spokesman said good recon-
Nuisance information was obtained
before the attack was made.
Much of this information came
from the bombers which visited Two
daily for weeks on end. For one So |
day period, an average Of % B-29s |
flew over the island each day on
bombing missions.
Over 7-day period-three days
preceding the invasion and four
after the landings-more than
5000 tons of shells were hurled on
the island by the huge naval force
standing off shore.

Cable Service 10 Guam

BY the Associated Press.

GUAM, Feb. 24.-Cable communi-
cation between Guam and the
United States, via Honolulu, has
been restored for several months, it
was announced yesterday.
Censorship heretofore prohibited
release of the news of the re-estab-
lishment of the cable service after
an interruption of more than three

The first message transmitted was

pendence of every one of the South
American countries.
The proposed treaty would pledge
the Signatory nations to consult
promptly about the most appropri-
ate measures to compel peaceful
settlement when any violation of
the peace even was feared. Agita-
tion for such pledges grows out of
what some member of the United
States delegation and several dele
gates from South American coun-
tires believe is good reason to fear
aggressive action by the militaristic
government of Argentina. They
point out that the Farrell regime
while proclaiming neutrality and
refusing to participate with the
other American republics in the
United Nations war effort has built
up an army of 10000 men and is
rapidly raising this toward goal of
100000. On comparative popu-
lation basis with the United States
this would amount to a standing
army of 100000. If Argentina has
peaceful intentions it is asked why
is she building up an armed force
SO out of proprtion to her legitimate
needs.
Up to Stettinius.
Decision on whether the United
States will support the proposed
pledges for positive action to insure
the countries fearing the Argentine
militaHistic tendencies is squarely up
to Secretary Stettinius.
Upon his decision may rest the
attitude of the countries now in a

More Careful Package
Wrapping Asked by Navy

WASHINGTON.-The navy said:
Please be a little more careful in
wrapping packages for fighting men
overseas.
It pointed out that a package adj
dressed to a man in the Pacific gets
a long and rough trip, perhaps last

dozen ships.
The navy made these suggestions:
l. Pack each article in shredded
paper or something like it to pre-
vent movement inside the package.
2. Tie the box with heavy cord,
then wrap it in brown paper, tie it
again with a strong cord, and print
the address in ink. Don't use paper
stickers which fall off if they get wet.
8. Inside each package put a list
Of the contents and the full address

Scribe Shot at

Chinese Correspondent Has
Exciting Time Going
About His Chores.

GUAM. - Meet poor Norman

who:
l. Ever collected-in real cash
war indemnities from Japan.
2. Captured the only Italian flag
thai his country-at war with Italy
ever took On any battlefield.
3. Risks being shot at by friends
as well as foes.
Norman is Norman Soong, Chinese
correspondent. American marines
r apt to fire first and discover
later that their target was Chinese,
not Japanese.
ITS really not so bad as you
might think" Norman hastens to ex-
plain. 81 just have to be more care
full" he told the Associated Press.
Now 33, Soong was born in Homo
lulu, studied in an American mis-
sionary university in Pekin, also
on a scholarship at the University
of Missouri, and worked for Is years
in China.
Japs Take His Home.
He married a Honolulu girl. They
lost their Marking home to the
Japanese; then their Shanghai
home; then their Hong Kong home;
then left Chungking.
Their four = year = old son speaks
English as he learned it from mis-
sionaries-(with a pronounced Ten

Norman was correspondent for the
New York Times when America, as
he explains it, suffered her first
casualty of this war-loss of the
gunboat Panay, in China" Norman
was aboard when the japanese sank
her. He collected 81, 600 from Japan
as. indemnity for his personal
losses.
The Central News agency of China
hired Soong in 1910. He later COW
cred the war in Italy, then wound
up in the Pacific theater.
Grabbed Italian Flag.
China is technically at war with
Italy, and II captured the only Ital-
ian flag the Chinese have in their
possession to show for that war;"
Norman beams. 81 grabbed it from
Prince Umberto's palace when we
got to Naples"
Funniest time he was ever men,
aced by marines, says Soong, was
in New Guinea when he'd inquired,
at dusk, "How does one find ones
way back to the colonel's hut?" Two
marines, bathing in a creek, looked
startled but pointed up a path.
Soong found the colonel's hut
where he "a a guest, stepped in
side, closed the door-and it popped
open Immediately. There stood the
two marines, clutching hastily
donned trousers and with As auto
mates ready to fire right at Soong.
The colonel saw them in time.
"Uh, uh, er, this is Mr.. Soong,

men-"Pass the word, will your"
