Rev. Peter A. Voth, noted
missionary of the Christian
Missionary Alliance will appear
at the Gospel Tabernacle on
Friday and Saturday of next
week and talk on the physical
hardships and spiritual victories
which featured hts experiences
under the heel of the Jap con-
querors in the present conflict.
He will speak Friday at 7:45
pm, and show pictures, in con-
junction with missionary Janet
Cuthbertson (of China) on Fri
day at 7:45 pm. Miss Cutnpert-
son will speak Thursday eve
ming.
Rev. Voth left in 1923 for
East Thailand. He labored here
where his Society is responsible
for the evangelization OF
100000 people, living in four
teen provinces composed OF
ninety counties. So far only
five Of the fourteen provinces
there have been occupied by us.
The people in Thailand, except
for small minority Of Chris
tians and Mohammedans, are
Buddhist.
JAP TOURISTS
Rev. Voth served as mis-
sionary in that land for over
thirteen years and foresaw the
coming conflict with the Japa-
nese. He told how, previous to
Pearl Harbor, the Japanese sent
1000 so-called tourists into the
town of Bangkok. These tour
lists" rented the choicest corner
office buildings, where it was
possible to command the best
view in two or three directions.
Machine guns could be set up in
case of trouble from the towns
people.
Shortly after Pearl Harbor,
Rev. Voth, together with sew
eral other men missionaries
were taken prisoners in the
northern Provincial Village and
housed in a small hut which was
to be their "home" for the next
eight days. They were not mis-
treated here as the local chief of
police was friend of Rev. Voth.
Some others who were taken
prisoners the same day did not
fare so well. During the night a
bomb was thrown into the hut
and thirteen were instantly
killed.
FOOD UNBEATABLE
At the end of eight days the
prisoners were loaded into a
truck and began the weary
journey to Bangkok. When they
arrived there. they were placed
in a concentration camp togeth-
er with $50 others of all ma
tionalities. Here the treatment
was not bad either, but the food
was at times unbearable. There
was little of it and that not tasty
at all. A common dish was a
wild-growing weed similar to
our tumble weed, which was
boiled in water without season.
ing and served to the prisoners.
For six months those Ameri-
cans lived here under the guns
of the Japanese. They suffered
bombings, filth, lice, and great
anxiety of mind as we'll as body.

Yonks Swarm,
Ashore On
BohoI Island
By RICHARD BERGHOLZ

MANILA, April ID - (R -
American troops were on every
one of the major Philippines Is
lands today. Elements of the
veteran Americal division in
vaded Bohol Wednesday and
quickly dispersed a small enemy
garrison near the main town of
Tagbilaran.
Gen. uglas MacArthur's
communique today said Maj.
Gen. William H. Arnold's Amer
ical doughboy's rapidly drove
inland in an endeavor to secure
control of the entire island be-
fore the surprised enemy could
rally his strength"
Bohol guerrillas already were
in control of much of the island,
between Cebu and Leyte in the
central Philippines and just
north of Mindanao.
The invasion was covered by
gunfire from light naval craft
and aerial bombings by 18th Air
Force pilots. 1t was virtually
unopposed.
Elsewhere, ground troops con-
tinued their swift mopups, ex-
cept in northern Luzon, where
fighting was slow and bitter
around Balete Pass and along
the road to Baguio, Philippines
summer capital.
In southern Luzon, 14th Corps
troops which have broken the
back of Japanese defenses the
past week shot forward 80 miles
from Atimonan to Calauag on
the East coast of Bicol Peninsula
Farther down Bicol, the 158th
regimental combat team ad-
vanced five miles west to CANA
lig and eight miles south with
out serious resistance.
In central Luzon, the 18th
Corps continued sealing up
japanese cave defenses in the
upper Marikina river and An
gat watershed. One recently
sealed cave near Bosoboso riv-
err was opened and found to con-
tain 257 Japanese dead.
Bombers and fighters kept the
China Sea shipping routes under
constant patrol, but found hunt
ing so poor that Macarthur re-
ported: Enemy sea lanes now

Col. Wilbur Morgan, command ing officer of the Nome Air Base Monday afternoon issued a proc lamation, declaring Nome to be under martial law, by reason of the existence of an emergency above and beyond the ability of the City of Nome to administer.
 Col. Morgan called a meeting of the city officials and townspeople in the City Hall at 7:3O pm. Tues day evening to explain under what authority and for what req son the proclamation of martial law was made.
 He explained that the first knowledge of the emergency came to his attention when Dudley Warner Gan employee of LOmen Commercial Co.,, and president of the Chamber of Commerce) paid a visit to the Executive Officer at the Base and stated that the city needed assistance from the Army.
 The Colonel further explained that through some misunderstood ing it was believed MT. Warner was a member of the City Coun- cil and the call for assistance was legitimate.
 Throughout the day, Army per sOnnel and equipment was dis patched wherever needed at the request of the various merchants who were moving their merchan- disc and equipment to safe stor- age.

Ask Congress To Pass Legislation Before Recess

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l-P- President Truman backed up some pointed criticism on Capitol Hill with the expressed hope that Congress will not recess until it acts on his legislative program. A reporter asked him in a news con- ference whether he would assent to a Congressional recess. His re- ply was that Congress had the authority to quit when it desired. but he hoped they wouldn't re- cess until they finished the Iegis- ation endorsed by his Administra- ton.
 The Presidents criticism of two House committees on his wage and price policy address last night was based on their failure to act on the full employment bill and more lib eral unemployment brought signs of resentment from some quarters.
