Spectacular Rescue
|0f 2,146 in Los Banos
Cost Only Two Lives
BY C. YATES MCDANIEL and
DEAN SCHEDLER,

LOS BANOS, Luzon, Feb. "a
More than 1000 civilian prisoners Of
the Japanese-most of them Ameri-
|cans-were free today, liberated by
Yank soldiers and Filipino guerrillas
in another of the Pacific wars dar-
ing rescues.
The liberating force struck yester-
day from the sky, over land and
across water, far behind the Japa-
nese lines, to free 2,146 men, women
and children and wipe out the entire
Japanese garrison at the Los Banos
internment camp, IS miles southeast
of Manila.
The internees, pinched by hunger
and showing signs Of more than
three years internment, quickly were
carried to safety. Some of them, in
cluding the aged, were brought out
on litters.
Six American Casualties.
American casualties in the sensa-
tional operation totaled six-two
soldiers killed, two wounded and
two internees slightly injured.
Among the rescued were II United
States Navy nurses. They were cap
tured at the Canacao Naval Hospi-
tai, near Cavite, in January, 1912.
First interned at Santo Tomas
Camp, they volunteered to take over
duties at the Los Banos Hospital
when the japanese opened the latter
camp in May, 1943.
The rescue was engineered by Col.
Robert H. Soule of Washington,
D. c., with $500 soldiers Of the
18th Air-Borne Division and the
guerrillas.
The guerrillas filtered into the
area through volcanic country for
several nights before the actual
strike.

the 18th Division moved across
Laguna de Bay in amphibious craft

bleeding from Japanese bayonet
wound, directed them to the bar
racks. There the mternees, clutch

the buildings.
The internees at Los Ban IS were
in better physical shape than the
$500 civilians liberated at Santo

.Stettinius Goes on Ain
To Win Support for
Dumbarton Program
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Stettinius
speaking from Mexico City, last
night launched campaign to build
up interest and understanding
among the American people in the
Dumbarton Oaks plan for a world
organization.
In radio speech which is the
opening shot, he limited that several
decisions on unanswered questions
of the peace organization, rather
than one decision, were reached in
the Crimea conference. 1t has been
announced only that President
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill
and Premier Stain agreed on voting
procedure for the proposed security
council.
Mr.. Stettinius noted that as orig
inally drawn up in Washington the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals were in
complete.
Does Not Elaborate.
They had to be supplemented in
several important respects" he said.
This was one of the great accom-
plishments of the Crimea confer
ence." He did not elaborate.
However, there have been some
reports that the Big Three agreed
On a system of trusteeships for the
old League of Nations mandates.
They also may have discussed how
to integrate other parts of the old
league organization into the new
machinery.
Secretary Stettinius spoke over
the National Broadcasting Co. net
work in the first of a series of
seven broadcasts which he said are
designed ito put before the people
of the United States the facts about
the proposed world organization. !"
Others on last nights program,
speaking from Washington; were As
sistant Secretaries of State Dean
Acheson and Archibald MacLeish.
Mr.. Acheson said the Dumbarton
Oaks amplifications worked out in
the Crimea were the most impor-
tant decisions reached there but
that "for the immediate future, the
decision on the Polish question was
great achievement"
Accident of History"
Mr. MacLeish declared it was.
more or less an accident of history"
that the Curzon line agreed on in
the Crimea was not the boundary
of Poland after World War l."
Such a boundary, he declared, was
favored by Allied representatives at
the Versailles Conference in 1919
because they found that to the east
of this line the population was pre-
dominately Russian and Ukranian.
while to the west of it the popula-
ton was predominantly Polish"
Mr. Acheson declared the same di-
vision of peoples is generally true
today.
