FANATICS TRIED
 10 AROUSE JApS
 AGAIN5T EMPEROR
Suicide Pilots Dropped Pamphlets Urging Con-
 tinudtiOn of War

TOKYO, Sept. 1-The Japanese said today that for two days after Emperor Hirohito told his people that the war was over, several planes evidently flown by fan atical suicide pilots dropped pamphlets on major Japanese cities asking the people to disregard the Emperor's word and fight on.
 A Tokyo resident, describing their action, said that the great ma- jority of the people were shocked by the mere thought of disobeying the Emperor. The move died out quickly, he said, for lack of popular support.
 He quoted the Kamikaze planes pamphlets as saying: Don't listen to the Emperor-he has been i'll advised. The Emperor doesn't know the real conditions.
 we have enough food and planes left to continue this war. We shot down an American Grumman and the pilot told us food conditions in the United States were very bad.
 When the Americans land in Tokyo we are going to give them a real surprise"
 The informant said Japanese normally follow the Emperor's word like sheep, and that the Kamikaze fliers responsible for the pamphlets undoubtedly would be put to death if caught.

MYSTERY OF AT TU ISLE
 CLEARS up
Mrs. C.F. Jones, Teacher in
 Area at Time of Jap Invasion, Is Alive

KODIAK, Alaska, Sept. 1-Lifting the fog of mystery that hid the late of the elderly American couple who were the only white persons on Attu at the time of the Japa- nese invasion, definite word was received here that Mrs. Charles Foster Jones, teacher, is alive, al though no information is yet avail able on her radio operator hus- band.
 Mrs. Jack McCord, of Kodiak, who was acquainted with the couple when they taught at Old Harbor, on Kodiak Island, near the famed McCord Ranch, received the news from her mother in Illinois. The latter has been corresponding with Mrs. Jones sister in Michigan.
 The message from Mrs. McCord's mother said, briefly: ''The good news is that Mrs Foster Jones sent a cablegram to her sister in Michi- gan"
 The cablegram came via Geneva, Switzerland, presumably through Red Cross channels.
 No other details were given.
 On July 2, 1922, MT. Jones was talking by radio to an operator on a neighboring island and told him he had a "hunch" the Japs would come and that he had armed the handful of natives on the island. The radio went dead in the middle of his broadcast and no direct word was received from him again.
 In June, 1943, after recapture of Attu, the War Department an- nounced an investigation indicated Charles Jones and his wife slashed their wrists when the enemy landed. Jones died but his wife lived and is now in concentration camp in Japan proper"
 The Department of Interior, in August last year, announced that definite information concerning the couples fate was still lacking and it was not known whether either was still alive.

BESTIAL.ITY
 OF JAPANESE
 K REVEALED
Ninety five Americans Re- leased from Filthy Pris-
 On-TaIes of Torture
By Vern HaugIand (Associated Press CorreSpondcnD


 OFUNA PRISON CAMP, NEAR YOKOHAMA, Sept. Ninety five Americans and eight English pris- cncrs, liberated from the filth of hidden concentration camp today related the wars most gruesome tales of Japanese bestiality.
 They saw one man beaten to death and seven die of malnutri- tion
 Some were spit on in the streets on forced marches through irate crowds.
 Many were compelled to wear metal bits in their mouths for IA hours at time
 Others were left with their hands tied behind them for 24 hours.
 Tired TO Die . A 21-year-old pilot, Ensign Fred Turnbull, of Highland Park, Mich, tortured after his carrier plane was shot down over Formosa, said:
 T tried to die and made peace with my God"
 My captors tied my hands be- hind me, made me lie down and covered me with my parachute" :" the youthful Michigan pilot said. q heard two shots"
 Already wounded when shot down, lie @as too numb to feel q bullet that entered his arm but felt one that pierced his chest.
 Swings With Sword
 A Japanese made practice swing at Turnbull's neck with a sword after he had pulled the prisoners collar down, and an angered For mosan giving him first aid, hit him in the back with a bayonet for not moving fast enough.
 At hospital close to the air field, shrapnel and bullets were removed without an anesthetic," Turnbull said
 Bit Treatment"
 Eight survivors of 12-man crew on a privateer plane were given the "bit treatment after their ship had been shot down south of Tokyo Aug 21
 'The bits were used to keep us from talking said Naval It. John B. Rainey of Houston. Texas. Every half-hour, they came in to test and, if anyone complained, they made the thing tighter" Rainey said.
 Rainey still wears a bump on his head where a guard tapped me with his rifle butt every time he came to the place--just to amuse himself and the villagers
 Evidence of the Japanese bru- tality shows in facial sores on the men.
 Civilian BrutaIities
 A B-29 survivor, Capt Everett Zewifel, Cedar, Texas, landed right in the middle of Tokyo" he said Ealing out of Navy Hellcat over southern Kyusbu, It. Russell Stephens, Evanston, H., said he be- lieyed he killed man when the latter opened fire at him.
 The civilians put me in a build- ing and lined up outside to take turns beating me- he added Later they stripped me and told me they were going to kill me"
 Later, a school teacher stood Stephens in front of children and said he was going to cut my head off" the Evanston pilot de- clared
