them. When they complained, the British told them:
 This Is just what you fed Allied prisoners. If 1t was good enough for them, it's bloody well good enough for youl"
 The only time the Japanese come out of their concentration camps is to repair roads, put the local airstrip back Into shape and clean up camp areas.
 Tn Korea, American occupation authorities kept Japanese officers In power temporarily, but the British in Hong Kong busted enemy au- thorities immediately.
 British soldiers took over and in e few hours had a power plant op- erating and trains running on lim- tied schedule. One train was chug- ging along a track from Kowloon on the mainland toward the interior of China.
 Tn Japan, American officers ar- sued that a soft approach was nec- essary until sufficient occupation troops were landed.
 Here, a couple Of thousand rnem- bers Of an RAF regiment took con- trol of Kowloon from 5000 Jap- aneSe. They did not ask the Jap- anese to turn in their arms. The British made them strip naked, then made sure that all guns and aTn- munition were confiscated.
 British marines followed the same pattern in occupying Hong Kong itself.
 Come A.Runnlng A practical example of the Brit- ish attitude was the conduct of e press interview with Japanese Vice. Admiral Ruiparo Funita.
 He didn't have much of import. , ance to say, apart from revealing that Japan'S South Pacific fleet for the first few months of war con- sisted only of a minor torpedo boat and three seaplaneS.
 But 1t was enlightening to watch the British public relations officer tell Q Japanese guard:
 "Tell the admiral to come here. I want to see the admiral right now"
 Fumita'S hands shook throughout the interview. He answered ques. tionS readily. Unlike military and navy leaders with whom talked in Japan, he did not say he quit fighting only because the Emperor ordered him to do so. He said Jap- an was forced to surrender.
 As a final treat, the British have abolished censorship here because the war IS over. This is the first uncensored dispatch I've forward ed from abroad without fear oi repercuSsion since l94l.
 My only concern is that some American censor might intercept it en route.
 (The dispatch was forwarded te the United Press by the War De- partment in Washington, apparent ly after passing through American military channels)

 Lowest Figures
 Since 1895

Waterbury home building for l944 was the lowest in nine years, de- creasing .7e0 per cent in volume and 704 per cent in value from the preceding years, D. E. Ryan, vice president of the Investors Syndi- cate revealed yesterday. The figures based on the company's annual housing survey.

New homes were provided in 1944, for 424 people, which was l.576 fewer than the l043 total of 20o0. Homes erected here from lo30-io44, inclusive, supplied shelter for l0,700 people.

In the following dispatch, he contrasts the American and British methods of handling the Japanese.
 By JAMES r. McGLINCY United l'ress staff COrrespondent) Hong Kong, Sept. le - (UP)- British forces in this Grown colony are treating the Japanese far more firmly than American occupation authorities have been handling the enemy in his homeland and In Korea.
 Here the Japanese know they have lost the war-and no nonsense about 1t.
 When British officers tell the Japanese to jump, they jump-and jump high.
 All Japanese troops and sailors in the colony were rounded up In the first few days of the occupation, disarmed, and put into concentra- ton camps.

MEDICAL STAFF OF AID CARRIES
 OUT GOOD WORK
Mobile Health Unit Vessel Has Been at Angoon
 and KiIIisnoo

A highly satisfactory program was carried on in the village of KillisnooI and Angoon by the medical staff of the Alaska Health Department mobile health unit vessel Hy-Gene, according to pr. N. Berneta Block, physician in charge. The Hy-Gene has returned to it's Juneau head quarters for supplies and left Sat Iurday for Haines and Skagway.
 At Kilisnoo chest x-rays were made of CT Aleut people and two teachers prior to their departure for Atka, from which they were evacuated in 1922 Mrs. Magnhild Bogue,. public health nurse supervis- ed the taking of the X-rays. A num- Der. of toxoids were given and ex- sminations were made and treat ment given for veneral disease. Gen. eral physical examinations and rather complete immunization pro- ceedings for typhoid, smallpox and diphtheria and examinations for vensral disease had been carried out previously by Dr. James E. Smith Assistant Medical Director of the Office of Indian Affairs.
 Health Instructions
 Dr. Block made several visits to a child suffering with tubercular pneumonia.
 A talk to assembled members of the village on the subjects of nutri- tion and child care was made by Miss Grace E. Plum, public health nurse. Two conferences were held with the teachers regarding plans for home care and isolation of active cases of tuberculosis when the Aleuts arrive at their home
 "Tke people seemed anxious to get information to take back to Atka,' said Dr. Block. Tt was impressed upon them that since they would be in an isolated area so far from physicians that the thing of greatest importance to them would be tc study how to keep well and to practice to the best of their ability the simple principles of healthful living"
 Angoon Given Service
 Health service given aboard the Hy-Gene at Angoon included the taking of 61 chest X-days, immun- izaticns against typhoid fever, vac- cinations for smallpox, giving of toxcids, and examinations and treatments for veneral disease. Three crippled children who are amenable to treatment, if they can he sent to 8 hospital immediately, were locat- cd.
 After completing the present health program planned for the Haines and Skagway district, the Hy-Gene will again visit Angcon and Hoonah, and shortly after trip to the southern district will be made.
