WASHINGTON, Sept. T Japa- nese troops captured an American flier forced to parachute into the sea off New Guinea.
 The, beat him with sticks vir- tually all that day, throughout the night. and until three o'clock the next afternoon.
 Then, while the troops screamed wildly, Japanese civilian named Inouye hacked off the Americans head with six slashes of sword.
 The State Department told about that incident and others like it today in a report it would not issue during the war for fear the Japa- nese would increase their butchery and shut off all shipment of relief supplies to Allied prisoners.
 Told To News men
 Secretary of State Byrnes ob- served with restraint at his news conference yesterday that the re- port was not a pretty story.
 The guilty will be punished; war crimes will be prosecuted in Japan just as in Europe, Byrnes pledged
 The report told of 240 protests against mistreatment of prisoners sent to the Japanese Government through Swiss intermediates by former Secretaries of State Hull and Stettinius; Undersecretary of State Acheson, and former Under secretary Grew. An example,
 Brutal Massacre
 On May 19, Grew asked the Swiss to tell the Japanese Government the United States was profoundly shocked" over the brutal massacre on December IA, 1914, of l50 Am erican prisoners of war in the Philippines.
 The incident: Japanese guards forced the 150 Americans into tunnels used as air raid shelters. The guards then emptied buckets of gasoline into the tunnel en- frances and threw blazing torches into the tunnels
 Victims Screamed
 Screaming victims who rushed from the shelters were bayoneted or machine-gunned. The guards threw dynamite charges into the tunnels to take care of the Americans left inside.
 About 40 got out and hurled them selves over a 50-foot cliff on to a beach. Shore sentries and landing barge gunners shot some. The Japanese captured others and buried them alive.
 One they captured after he had tried to swim out to sea. They prodded him with bayonets; poured gasoline on both his feet and set fire to them. They mocked, derided and bayoneted him until he collapsed. Then they poured gasoline over his body and watched flames devour it.
 "Barbaric Behavior"
 Such barbaric behavior on the part of the Japanese armed forces is an offense to all civilized peo- pie" Grew told Tokyo. In diplo- matic language, he demanded that the Japanese promise not to do it again.

The W ashinqton
 . Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Members of Congress returning to work today are simply swamped with GI mail It has been pouring in-particu- larly from returned veterans in the U.S.A., who have been kept mark ing time, waiting for the brass hats to let them go home.
 The storm of protest is terrific So much sa that the 1946 Congress sional elections, in fact the re- election of President Truman, may be won or lost in the next few weeks-all hinging on one thing
 Was Governor Dewey right in his charge that the Democrats wanted to keep men in the Army and Navy after the war?"
 Politically, the problem is TINT.
 Meanwhile, many Congressmen have become convinced that Army brass hats haven't been playing fair with them regarding dis charge figures. And junior officers who do the statistical work kill tell you privately that this is true Army chiefs have been givin g figures to Congress which are com- pletely off-base.
 For instance: Last June the Army told Congress that there were only 160O00 men aged 38 and 39 in the Army. This low figure was given to quiet the Congressional demand that men of this age be released The Army claimed that Congress was being stampeded by lobby of only a small number of men.
 But, in August, the Army turned round and announced that there were 100000 men aged 38 and 39 Congressmen point out that 160,000 doesn't equal 100000 in any arith- metic book. And the number
