Ernie Bryan's
 Brother From P.I.

L1te on the bryan homestead out Mission road is in welcome contrast to almost 3 years spent i in Japanese prison camps for Arthur A. Bryan, 70, who arriv- ed here on the Lakina this week to visit his brother, Ernie Bryan, of this city.
 Arthur Bryan came here from Seattle where he arrived May 8 after his repatriation from the Philippines and where he visited his other brother, Hugh. His stay here is indefinite, as he is await ing word that will allow him to { return to hls plantation and wife | and child on Mindanao in the
 Philippines.
 It was on this 100-acre cocoa nut plantation, located 60 miles lfrom the nearest town of Zam- boanga, where MT. Bryan was when the Japs arrived in July, 1922. Y
 He and two other white men q died later in a Manila hospit- aD were taken prisoners but the Japs did not take his wife, Elena, who is Spanish, or their daugh- ter, Mary Arlene, who is now 7 years old.
 During the next three years MT. Bryan was transferred from l camp to camp-2 on Davao, 1 then to Bilibid, Santa Tomas and Los Banos.
 He and the other civilian pris- l oners were not maltreated by
 the Jap captors in contrast to treatment accorded military
 prisoners, he said. They wele not
 beaten but he saw some lose :, their lives in attempts to escape.
 At one camp he was in for ] mer dance hall that had a huge sign, Happy Life Blues" and
 this he described as the best of the places he was in. There they were allowed to go swimming 3 times a week, and in groups with a guard were also allowed to go out and gather fruit. They ate well enough to keep up their weight until the transfer to Los Banos, about 30 miles from Manila, in a former agricultural station and school, where MT. Bryan said he went from 15S to 121 pounds in less than 2 months. They found seeds and planted gardens to augment their starvation rations.
 It was here MT. Bryan, in a group of 2140 prisoners, was llb- erated. He said they learned aft erward that the rescue was made on the very day all the prisoners were to have been killed. A spy flearned of the planned killing

Alaska At.
 Crossroads

Alaska is now at the crossroads it will either stay as before the
 war or move ahead, Foster M C. Govern, vIce president of the
 National Bank of Commerce, Seattle, guest speaker at the Chamber of Commerce luncheoIa Thursday, told the members.
 Mir. McGovern, who spens over IF years in professionals chamber of commerce work m Seattle, arrived here Wednesday on his first trip to Kodiak with high praise for the scenery iD this area, which he described as the most beautiful he had seen in Alaska.
 Describing his viewpoints as that of an outsider investigating conditions m the Territory, be said it appeared to him that min ing would be resumed on a sub- stantial basis, that agriculture would not be developed to the extent people think, and that sbe- tourist business will be one ob the largest Alaskan post waF developments.
 He said there is a tremendous desire in people in the States tes come to Alaska, and that this time the people who come w1ie have money to spend.
 The problem of Kodiak, Mr. McGovern contended, IS exactly the same as that of Anchorage Fairbanks, or any other Alaska city, in regards to planning Tor such tourist business by making Surveys of attractions and ae- cancellations, and in preparing for new residents.
 Many of the civilian and con tractor employees and service per sonnel who have learned to bke Alaska will be back to stay, ahn pointed out. In Seattle survey of workers in war industries there showed that 70 per senF wanted to stay after the war; and one and one half per cent
 wanted to come to Alaska.
 Describing the Seattle cham
 Der as always being vitally inter ested in the welfare of Alaska MT. McGovern closed with 3 suggestion that the local cham
 Der call even more often than ID the past for aid and assistance from the Seattle group.

Attn Teacher
 Beaten By laps

Fairfield, Calf. Especial to the Mirror by Associated Press)-A gallant, gray-haired school teach CT, the only American woman captured by the Japanese on the American continent, stepped from an Army transport plane here Wednesday after a flight from Japan.
 She is Mrs. Etta B. Jones, 65, whose husband Charles was kill ed by the Japs on Attu, where both were captured early in l942.
 Very frail, Mrs. Jones told with calmness and dignity of having been kicked and slugged by the Japs and of spending 3 years hid den from the world in a Nippon prison yet she could still speak with kindness of the children of Japan and of the "poor people. :" Her husband, 62, was employ ed as weather observer and radio man on Attu and she was attach ed to the Indian service to teach the native children. They were the only white people on the is- land when the Japs came 2000 strong in June, 1922.
 Mrs. Jones recalled, "I was beaten with the butt end of a ri- he and was struck across the back by a Japanese soldier act ing as interpreter. He knocked me down, stepped on me and then kicked me in the stomach. Then 1 saw them hit my husband and knock him down."
 They were then thrown in sep arate buildings and the next day the natives told her her husband had been killed by the Japs and that they, the natives, had buri- ed him. She never learned any other details.
 Within a few days she was talk en on a transport to Yokohama | and escorted to the Bund hotel. There, she said, whether because the enemy's guards respected her age or for whatever reason, she received remarkably fine treat ment. She was treated like a guest for the next 3 years, with good quarters, good food and the help of servants occasionally. Sometimes she could even walk the streets of Yokohoma accom- panied by a guard. She was in communicate, however, and was never allowed to contact the Red Cross or any relatives in the States.
 A month after her arrival she was joined by Is Australian nurses captured in New Guinea. She said she saw two of them slapped and knocked down.L Later the women were transferred to (continued on page 9
