EX-WAR PRISONER

Reverend w. F. Junkin told Ex-
changites yesterday at their week.
ly luncheon Of his internment in
Japanese prison camp in the
Philippines, with other civilians.
during the occupation of that coun-
try by the Japs. He told how
American missionaries, business
and professional men, with their
families, were treated during the
year they were held in prison.
And although Rev. Junkin declared
their treatment was not as cruel as
suffered by Corregidor and Ba-
taan, many died from inadequate
food and torture.
He paid tribute to the Red Cross
for their supplies, and particular
ly the vitamins, saying he would
have died had it not been for Vita
min supplies. After the long intern-
ment at Baguio he, with other pris-
ers, were transferred to Manila
where they were released by the
American Army during the battle
which he described as 'frightul'
He learned to do many things to
while away the time, such as carv-
ing with cocoanut shells.
Exchangite Berger presented his
guest, Joe Rosen, and Mr.. E. Erb
was the guest of Ben Gurr.

Cafe Workers Charqe
Food Served Them
Is Poor, Inadequate

The question OF whether Wash
ington restaurants supply adequate
food for their employees was debated
by proprietors and mattresses last
night as they met with the District
Minimum Wage and Industrial
Safety Board to discuss proposed
new minimum wage for public
housekeeping employees.
The group agreed on the IS per
cent increase in the minimum wages
for mattresses, chambermaids, tele-
phone operators and cashiers. But
a clause authorizing employers to
deduct 80 cents for each meal fur
nished an employe gave rise to
charges by Martin Everhard, a chef
for 40 years, that employees usually
get only ''hash."
Mrs. N. Billy Waschler, a watt
ress, said that employees food was
often leftover" and that mattresses
had to eat in other places to get a
balanced diet. She said money was
sometimes deducted for meals en-
ployes did not eat.
Robert j. Wilson, secretary of the
Washington Hotel Association, said
he was certain only a few of WASH
ington's 1000 restaurants give en-
ployes poor food. He added that
many proprietors permit mattresses
