Letter Describes Attacks
By Jap Suicide Planes

Comdr. Clifton A. Whyte, former
employe of The Star, in a recent
letter to friends here, described a
Jap suicide plane attacking United
States ship and a japanese plane
straf1ng American hospital person
mel on Okinawa.
Comdr. Whyte landed on D day
plus with an executive officer, ano
they had but arrived at the hospita,
area when a Jap plane swung in
and started firing. Although every
one within range dropped to the
ground to avoid the strafing and
dropping fax, several were wound
ed. The executive officer was hit
directly in the eye and a medical
officer near them was hit in the
shoulder.
The same night Jap plane fol-
lowed a United States plane into
the area, which had been lighted to
push a Seabee project-a bridge
which was launched" about S am.
There are few young men native
to the island left here. due to the
fact that the Japs impressed them
into their labor corps" Comdr
Whyte wrote.

Army Due 10 Hasten
Screening, Release
|0f German Prisoners
BY KENNETH L. DIXON.

-
WITH THE UNITED STATES
9th ARMY IN GERMANY, May 10.
German prisoners Of war soon
may be streaming back home by the
thousands after q careful interroga-
ton and intelligence scrutiny by
American Army investigators.
Although no confirmation was
forthcoming tonight from any head
quarters, one Army officer said or
ders had been received to screen
all prisoners Immediately and re-
lease those found not to be security
hazards, war criminals or ardent
Nazis.
How rapidly such an investigation
can take place appeared to be
largely a matter of manpower. Ex-
cept for routine cases, screening
can be handled only by trained and
experienced Army investigators
However, the officer said sufiicient
preliminary screening has been done
so sizeable numbers of cases could
be handled swiftly.
The prisoners released will not be
out from under military surveil-
lance since some Allied units will be
occupying their home town areas
thus providing q local check on their
activities.
Released former members of the
German Army also will be forced to
assume the burden of their own
support, which otherwise would re-
main the problem Of the American
Army.
Any cases offering even the slight
est reason for suspicion will be re-
turned to prisoner of war cages for
further checking, according to pres
ent plans.
Some badly wanted war criminals
such as the kreisleiter of Gardele-
gen, who engineered the barn burn
ing of 1,10o political prisoners-are
known to be Kidding somewhere in
prisoner of war cages disguised as
surrendered German soldiers.

Potato Production
Is At Its Peak
Full Use Immediately OF
intermediate Potatoes
Is Urged

Latest report on the 1945 potato
crop shows an upward revision OF
estimates The latest
report places the total 1945 crop
(early. intermediate and late) at
42O. pos 600 bushels instead of 4O8,-
600 900 as indicated in July. Only
in 1928 (427,249.000 bushels) and
1913 asa. 999 5000 was the crop
now in prospect exceeded. Last
wear. about 379.436,000 bushels
comprised the total crop. and an
nual production averaged 375,O91.-
coo bushels during 1913.
The intermediate crop. of pri-
mary concern now. is expected to
total 1928 million bushels instead OF
the previously estimated 3O.5 mil
lion. This compares favorable with
the 22.7 million bushels produced
in 1914 and the 1922 million bush
els averaged during the 10-year
period u934-43).
Full use immediately of interme-
diate potatoes is urged These po-
tatoes are of good quality and not
nearly as perishable as the early
crop. But although many are stOr-
able. they do not keep as we'll as
the late varieties. In addition. stOr-
age facilities are now fairly limit
ed. Potatoes harvested in hot sum
mer months can only be stored il
cool places.
Biggest supplies of intermediate
potatoes are in the Northeastern
area, especially Long Island. New
