MRS. WAINWRIGHT
AWAITS GENERAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-WD-
A wife who never gave up hope
waited in Skaneateles, N. Y, to-
night for the word that will mean
her three-year vigil is ended.
Somewhere in Manchuria, 1t.
Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright,
who led the epic defense of Ba-
taan, awaited the word that will
send him back to her side.
Mrs. Wainwrights happy antici-
patton was shared by the families
of $1,000 othe--- U. S. prisoners of
war and civilian internees who
soon may be coming home.
War Department records showed
on August 2 that 13,484 war
prisoners and $500 civilian were
in Japanese hands, many OF whom
were captured soon after Pearl
Harbo-. How many still are alive
and well is unknown, but those
able to make the trip home will
not have to wait long after VI
Day.
The Allies specified in the sur.
render terms that Japan must
transport prisoners Of war and
civilian internees to places Of
safety as directed, where they car
quickly be placed aboard Allied
Transports
CA London dispatch said the
Allies plan to rush rescue fleets t.
Singapore as soon as surrender is
official. An estimated 10000
Allied war prisoners are hele
there.)
Military records show that $3.50
American prisoners have died il
Japanese camps. About $500 wer'
killed Internationally by U. S
bombs and torpedoes. The enem.
reported that some 300 died o
wounds. The remainder succumbet
from various causes, mainly NAL
nutrition, abuse and neglect.
Many lost their lives as a di-ec
result of the Japanese practic
OF moving war prisoners to in
dustrial targets marked out TO
obliteration by U. S. bombers
Many others were lost when U. S
ships sank Japanese transport
carrying prisoners to the enem.
homeland from island outposts.
| Wainwright was left to presid
at his country's most humiliatin
defeat after President Roosevelt
ordered Gen. Douglas Macarthur
to p-ocede to Australia early il
1912. On May 6, overpowered blu
not outfought, he surrendered a
Corregidor.
Japan's prize prisoner, he wa
taken to Korea, Formosa and las
February to Manchu-ia. Little ha
been heard of him.
Mrs. Wainwright has gotten thre
messages, the last in April. Fac
gave her renewed strength. Sh
never has acknowledged the pos
sibility that he might not return
And now she is waiting for tn
news that will justify three yea-
OF unflagging faith.

ARMY TO REDUCE
DISCHARGE SCORE
Col. James Roosevelt
Accepts Marine Release

WAoH1NI1ON, Aug. lZ.-UH-
The Army will reduce the discharge
point score soon after VI Day, but
it may be some time before the
soldier puts on civilian clothes
again, military observers said to-
night.
The rehabilitation job will be
tremendous, greater in many res
poets than was CONSUMPTION. Com
phcating it is the Problem of ship
ping space for the millions of men
overseas. We Day was three
months ago, but only 100000 of 81
000, 900 men have returned from
Europe.
The Army's strength now is
about 100000. When the war in
Europe ended, plans to discharge
100000 men within year were
announced. Observers believe that
on that basis, an additional $780,
900 can be discharged within year
after VI Day, making a total Of
some $500, 900.
That would leave about 100000
for the occupation of Germany and
Japan, for garrisoning strategic
defenses, and for operation of the
vast Army machinery in this coun-
try.
The discharge score may be cut
below so points. Men with the IS
points now required, however,
would continue to get priority. After
they are discharged, preference
may go in order of points, or it
may be extended to older men
and men with families.
Whether inductions will continue
will be up to Congress. Some sour
ces predict that the legislature will
repeal the Selective Service Act
soon after it reconvenes. But there
is a possibility it will take no ac'
ton until tentative decision is
reached on the size of the postwar
Army and Navy, and on the ques-
ton of compulsory peacetime train.
ing.
Secretary of War Henry L. Slim.
son said recently that 235, 900 men
already have beben discharged un-
der the IS points requirement, and
that 100000 others are eligible. A
revised score, scheduled for carly
next year, would have made pos.
sible the discharge of an additional
700, 600, many of whom are in the
Pacific.
The WAC score of "A also had
been scheduled for revision. About
LOO have been discharged and s..
900 others are eligible under the
present score.
The Army now is expected te
speed the release of men needed ir
critical industries. 1t may do sc
regardless Of point scores. The neee
is greatest for experienced rail-
road men and coal miners.
The war department meanwhile
outlined its policy on the reinduc
ton of men who have been dis
charged. In general, those WHIT
have seen long service are no
subject to reinduction unless the.
volunteer.
Officers discharged honorabl,
are placed in an inactive status TO
the duration of the war plus 81:
months. They are not subject t.
reinduction, but are liable to re
call at any time their services ar
needed. Dishonorably discharges
officers are separated completel
and return to the jurisdiction o
selective service.
Enlisted personnel also must re
register with their draft boards
Those discharged under the poin
system are not subject to induction
Others may be drafted at selectiv
service discretion.
