secret police questioned them stead

The japanese wanted to know
about American plane types, pilot

cerned with the island of Midway,
where six months later they took a
sea beating that was one of the
turning points of the war. The
questioners expressed belief the
Americans had some sheltered secret
passage into the island.
The Marines and 10 civilians
who arrived from Suwa camp, seven
hours by rail from Yokohama, said
they were captured the night of
December "a, 1941, Immediately
after their capture they were

were lashed together with wires

said. More than 1,500 were jammed
together in a small underground

After the period of feasting, dur

prisoners were shipped off to prison
camps.
At the various camps in which they
were held their guards beat them

By the associated Press.


CHUNGKING, Sept. 6.-The great
est airborne movement OF troops
in Asiatic history got under way
today, when United States Army
Air Force planes began to trans
port 10000 Chinese soldiers and
their equipment to the coastal prov
inces of China. The operation
probably will require 40 days.
The first contingent of China's
American-equipped 9Th Army. which
won battle honors in Northern
Burma, took off from the United
States air base at Chihkiang on
the 650-mile journey to liberated
Nanking. China's Gath Army waited

The operation is under the direc-
ton of 1t. Gen. George E. Strate-
meyer, commander of United States
Air Forces in China, who has been
working with experts from the l4th
and 10th United States Air Forces
to obtain maximum utilization of all
transports available.
The movement is divided into two
principal parts-transportation of
the 9Th Army by troop carriers and
cargo transports under Brig Gen
Albert F. Hegenberger, commander
of the 10th Air Force, and movement
of the Gath Army by C-54s of the
India China division of the Air

Mr. Truman recalled 1.-The crash of

that bitter mistake"
The President said food controls
will be removed as fast as supplies
will permit, but he felt rationing of
such items as fats, oils and sugar
probably will have to be continued
into 1916. He added that sin no
case should rationing controls be
removed if by so doing we should
