 JAP5' PRISONER
Phyllis Warehouse Says Nips Every Bit as Bad
 as Germans Worst

Miss Phyllis Morehouse, who wa just recently released from Japa nese Concentration Camp, arrived ol the Princess Louise last Tuesday tt visit her sister, Mrs Patricia Bur nett.
 Prior to the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, Miss Morehoust with her mother and father, was liv- ing in Baguio, where the latter wa: employed as mining engineer.
 Hearing of the Japanese advance in their direction, the Morehouse family took suitcase apiece and went to Manila. On January 6, 1922 they were captured, along with other Manila citizens, by the Jap anese, and taken in large busses to Santo Tomas where Miss More house and her mother were placed in large bare classroom along with 40 other women and Mir. More house was placed in a like room with other men.
 They slept in these classrooms every night until December, 1943, with only a mattress between them and the floor During that time small shanties were built outside by the internees and families were all lowed to be together and cook their seanty meals during the day.
 y,, house was seperated from her family and taken to Los Banos, where 28 barracks had been built and where eventually, all internees would be placed. Her family joined her in April, l944, when all families were allowed to be together.
 Soon a settlement of 2000 in- ternees was gathered in the 28 bar racks which were inside an enclos- ure of two large barbwire fences. To keep minds busy a sort of town was set up with schools, police and patrols, officials to run it and each persons assigned so many hours of work day,
 The last six months were the hardest" said Miss Morehouse, "as we were allotted only one handful of rice a day. Because of this three fourth of the camp had beri-beri and soon there was approximately a death day
 In January of this year they were liberated by a well-planned res- cue. staged by the American troops. Large American transport planes dropped abeut 150 parachutists, a large guerrilla band surrounded the camp and Alligator tanks broke into 1t. Withi na short time internees 90tne walking, others in tanks, were safe in American Barracks. On May 2 they landed in Los Angeles ending the three years of hardship.
 When asked for her opinion of the Japanese, Miss Warehouse said They are every bit as bad as these horror pictures showing German atrocities = as they copy the Ger mans in everything they do, almost to a T."
