Repufriuted Prisoners OF Wur Tell

First hand information about
japanese and German prisoner
camps was heard by a group of
Red Cross personnel and mothers
of prisoners of war from .Pasca-

talks by repatriated prisoners in
New Orleans. The program was
arranged under the auspices of
the New Orleans chapter of the
Red Cross.
One of the men who appeared
on the program knew Donald Will
son of Pascagoula who is still a
prisoner in Camp l7-B, Germany.
Due to the fact that the Jack
son County Red Cross received
definite plans for the program at
a late date, the only notification
of relatives of prisoners which
the office staff was able to do
was by word of mouth to those
persons coming into the office,

Kathleen Kell, the principal, re-
ported that she had received a
communication from the firm

The letter stated that because
of the size of the order. which
amounts to several hundred dol

the order than is usual and that
delivery could not be made before
June.

Perhaps the most unloved species of humanity is
the landlord. If the steam pipes burst the roof
springs leak, you gnash your teeth and curse the
landlord If he insists prompt payment of your

perhaps you hate him most of all when he says, "NO

Who's right? Is the landlord justified in excluding

A living memorial to the dead

Dear Elsie:
MY idea Of a memorial to
commemorate the bravery and
sacrifice that will be the price
OF victory is not a cold, lifeless
statue of stone but rather some
thing that will live and grow
and speak to us of the immor-
tality of that divine spark OF
life which must resume its in
evitable course.

Dear Miss Robinson:
I'VE could build memorials

generals and officers and of
ali the brave heroes, known
and unknown, who made the
supre sacrifice so that
others might live in freedom.
But in no way could we hon

 Burma is much more lush than sun-seared India, its problems fewer despite three and a half years of war. The cattle are healthier. Exclusive of the middle east, the oil fields along the Irrawaddy River are the major source of petroleum on the Asiatic mainland. Burma's cultivated lowland area is given over to rice.

 BiIbo's Act
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, June 29-(UP)-The sergeant-at-arms hoofed out of the Capitol early today under orders to nab missing senators, make 'em change their pajamas for pants and report back to the job.
 You get one guess why. The poor devils had to come to the senate so they could vote to adjourn. Honest injun, that was the reason. think now that I've seen almost every thing.
 At p. m. the joint was peaceful. Sen. James M. Tunnel of Della ware was sitting in the back row reading 8 colored comic section. Sen. Theodore G. (The Man) Bilbo of Mississippi was devoting the second day to a fllibuster that he said wasn't a filibuster against the Fair Employment Practice commit tee.
 "Speaking's hard work" he shouted, hoisting at his trousers. You've got to be tired, hungry and mad to make a speech that's worth a durn. I haven't started my speech yet (he'd only been talk ing seven hours) becauseI'm not tired and I'm not hungry"
 That's when, as the military would say, the situation began to deteriorate.
 The boys thought they'd shut him up. With a furry of alarums and other abracadabra of a par liamentary nature they shushed Bilbo into his chair, where he con- stunned a tall glass of milk.
 Then he went out to supper while his cohorts argued about the OPA, the peace conference and other things that now seem too numerous to mention. At g p. m. Bilbo re- turned, looking rumpled, after a nap on a couch in the hall. Sen. Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky pleaded with him to make deal on the FEPC so the senate could pass the war agency appropriation of three-quarters of billion dol- lars. Bilbo said he wasn't in the mood.
 At 10 p. m. Barkley moved that the house adjourn. Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio said Bilbo's perform ance was outrageous and that he'd get a rule to limit debate if the senators please would vote to stay in session. There weren't enough on hand to vote on anything.
 The clerk called the roll but he had no luck. The senators voted to have Sergeant-at-Arms Wall Doxey pry enough missing ones out of bed. Doxey bounced out, scratching his head.
 Sen. Edwin c. Johnson of Col orado rushed in, still trying to tie his cravat, and new count showed a quorum.
 Here, SO help me, Barkley with drew his adjournment motion. Sen. Walter F. George of Georgia said he didn't believe there was quo- rum after all; there wasn't either.
 More nose counting. More ron calls. More arguments. In came Doxey, wiping his brow to make his formal report:
 I've contacted as many as I could," he cried. Mostly they are not at home. Three said they'd be here. said I'd go get 'em, but they said they'd get here by them selves"
 The senators waited a solid hour, with the three lawmakers still snor- ing on the other side of town. Their cohorts then ordered Doxey to bring 'em in by force. Once more he wandered out into the night. Sen. Homer Capehart of Indiana

seem vast. Burma is approximately the size of Texas, but with fewer wide-open spaces.
 Burmese prefer the American way. In place of the terror and op- pression of the New Order" and its "co-prosperity,' many of them now work for Uncle Sam in connec- tion with the operation of the Still well Road, the pipe line to China and air bases. Burmese employed by the United States Army are given housing facilities, food and medical care in addition to wages which vary according to skill. An unskilled laborer is paid 30 rupees, or about $10 month. A skilled craftsman, such as carpenter, col- lects 90 rupees, or $50.
 The liberation of a typical country the size of France without the control of a port, without a road of railway worthy of the name, and with only six months in the year favorable for operations, was the task that faced the 44-year- old Mountbatten in 1943.
 Mountbatten knew he was to be appointed some time before the choice was made known to the public, and as an admiral saw to it that some naval strength was di- verted to Ceylon bases. At the very beginning of his new campaign, however, landing ships and craft

 Ba Nav, government head under the Japs, and other Quislings fled with them. U Saw, the last prime minister, is still in jail. The British uncovered the fact that he was on the Japanese payroll in 1941.
 I chatted with number of the more intelligent Burmese, and was told that the Japs had not treated them badly. This was only natural, for the JapS wanted Burma as rear base for the invasion of India. Burma is the only country from which the Allies can maintain a land link with China. With Burma in Jap hands, the reconquest of Malaya, Sumatra, and Java would be extremely difficult and costly, if not impossible.
 Now, with the Japs withdraw ing the bulk of their forces to north east China, Allied military leaders agree that this should be easier.
 Japanese propaganda pamphlets are still to be found. picked up the Burmese edition of Front, printed in Japan. For printing and art, it makes lot of American slick paper magazines look sick.

 For three and half years Bur ma had suffered the consequences of Japanese aggression. The greater part of the country had been freed and proposed national restoration lay before her people. The liberation of Burma had been long and dif- flcult task. The troops had accom- plished far more than they were asked to do with far less than they were promised to do it with.
 Then attachments of the United States, British and Chinese Armies, the United States and Royal Air Forces, and the Royal Indian and Burma navieS paraded through the streets of Rangoon, first city and transportation hub of Burma.
 It was the Rangoon Victory Par ade. The home guards lining the thoroughfares were duly impressed. It was the first time in three and half years that the British had something to shout about in South East Asia.
 CITY LEFT INTACT
 The Burmese group in the process sion marched with the well-known Jap gosestep, but that doesn't mean that any of them were members of the Fifth Column, which pillaged cities, harassed the British rear and made the retreat difficult as the British were being driven out of Burma for six months. It was ad- ditional evidence, however, that the Burmese are quick to line up with the winner.
 When the British marched into Rangoon, May 3, they found the
