DUTCH LIEUTENANT
WILL SPEAK HERE

1t. Edward George Serle, who
is coming to Wilmington for a
series of talks on Maritime day
Tuesday, is a young Hollander
who was overnight transplanted
from the sedate civilian life, as
Paris representative Of Dutch
steamship companies, into rowing
lieutenant of the Netherlands
navy. He arrived in the United
States recently upon his return
from the Pacific war zone.
On June 10, 1910, as the Ger
mans were entering Paris, Serle
went to southern France where
eight Dutch merchantmen were
being unloaded. After a brief con-
ference with the ships masters, it
was decided to try and bring the
ships to England. In spite of bomb
ings by German plans, all eight
ships sailed down the Loire river
and reached Bristol in safety.
He joined the Netherlands navy
and after being trained for mine
sweeping, was put In charge OF
first two and later four mine
sweepers. On their first day of
operations Lieutenant Series
sweepers exploded the first mag
netic mines which the Germans

had dropped along the British
coast. Later his converted fishing
trawlers were replaced with mod
ern fast ships which did good serv-
ice in bringing into British ports
the first convoy of Liberty ships
to arrive from the United States.
In June, 1914, Lieutenant Serle
was transferred to the Pacific War
theater. Passing through the Unit
ed States, he spent forty-two days
travelling from the east coast to a
western port of embarkation, dur
ing which time he delivered eighty
seven lectures in sixteen days. He
travelled to Australia in one of the
Mitchell medium bombers made in
the United. States for the Neither,
lands government. In Australia and
New Guinea Lieutenant Serle help
ed train the thousands of Indone-
slams who, Immediately upon their
liberation by General Macarthur S
forces, rushed to the Netherlands
recruiting centers to enlist for the
battle against the japanese.
The steady influx in Australia
of volunteers for the Netherlands
Navy and Marines, especially since
the liberation of Hollands south
ern provinces, promises to speed
up the battle. for the reconquest
of the. Netherlands Indies, Lieu
tenant Serle believes. Many thou
sands of young men have already
enlisted in these provinces for the
Pacific war and their numbers
are increasing rapidly as other
sections of the Netherlands are
added to the liberated territory.
However, it will be many months
before enlistment on a wide scale
can take place in the three west
ern provinces where the largest
part of the population resides and
which includes such large cities as
Amsterdam, The Hague. Rotter-
dam, Utrecht and Harlem. The
desperate conditions prevailing in
these three hunger provinces
have Slapped the energy of the peo-
pie to such degree that it will
require considerable time before
even the younger. generation can
be restored to normal health.

LABOR RELATIONS
SURVEY ORDERED

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-lR-
A broad study of labor-manage-
ment relations, R'including also the
question of consolidating the gov
ernment's present scattered labor
agencies, was ordered today by
the Senate small business commit
tee.
Chairman Murray ID. Mont.)
said the purpose would be to pro-
mote cooperation of labor and
management and suggest Sound
government policies and proce-
dures to assure that maximum
employment in the country's
smaller producing units is achiev-
ed and maintained"
He appointed Senator Mcmahon
ID. Comm head of a subcommit-
tee to conduct the inquiry. Other
members will be Murray and SEN
ator Wilson R.-Iowa).
The move came at time when
President Truman is reported to
have under study a reorganization
and consolidation of the federal Ia
Dor services and agencies. Con-
gressional circles have heard that
the president wants former Sena-
tor Lewis B. Schwellenbach of
Washington to head a reorganized
labor department.
Mcmahon, announcing hearings
will begin early in June, said the
subcommittee proposes to develop
these three main points:
/. The role of labor organizations
as related to small business.
2. Methods Of achieving full CO.
operation between labor and small
business.
3. Government organizations and
policies affecting labor and small
business with view to stream
lining them for future operations I"
'Various interested parties have
declared that there is much over.
Tapping and duplication in govern.
ment functions, with the result,
that both business and labor have
difficulty in making plans for the
future" Mcmahon said.

Bataan up to San Fernando Pampanga, about
60 miles.
There, in terrible physical condition, they
were herded into bOXcars like cattle and shipped
20 miles by rail to Capas in Tarac Province,
where they were prOdded out of their cars lined
up and marched about seven more miles to
O'DOnnell
Camp O'Donnell was the site of list Philip
pine Army Division cantonment The water sup
ply at the camp had not yet been sufficiently de-
velOped when the war started, and such installa-
tions as we had had for pumping water had
deteriorated beyond usefulness or had been
destroyed.
The only water for these thousands of starv-
ing and thirst-crazed prisoners could be obtained
from the muddy Bamban River, three miles from
the camp. No transportation or containers for
water other than canteens were available, and
few of the men had canteens The Japs had taken
them away for the aluminium in them.
THE march from southern Bataan to San Fer
nando was continuous, day and night, for those
poor men. They got no food except rice, and not
enough of that to sustain life There were no
purifcaton tablets for the diseased waters of the
Bamban River
Capt. Reeder, an American medical officer at

Another was severely damaged.
Gen. Moore and l went to Battery Geary
Immediately after the hit to survey the damage,
which clearly showed the tremendous power of the
Jap shell. A lotion barrel from one of our guns
had been picked up like matchwood by the ex-
plosion and thrown 80 yards uphill to the
cratered golf course.
For a week after the fall of Bataan l would
permit none of our guns to fire against the tip of
the peninsula. For six days of that week, the Japs
fired at us from that point, but feared that if
we returned the fire it might fall among my cap
tured men.
I FOUND out later that even when we did fire,
- after the week of grace, we did wound some of
our men, including 1t. Col. Bob Lindsey, who had
been my old 1st Corps artillery officer.
However, even death from our shells might
have been welcomed by some of our men at that
time, if they had been able to know what was in
store for them. For by April Is the almost un-
belevable Death March toward Camp O'Donnell
was on.
From handful of men who escaped early in
that never-tO-beforgotten savagery, and from
responsible men who participated in it and later

diseased men in detachments of about 1000 each.
