7 FBI chief here, IF Mr.. Bruce.
said investigation disclosed that
Kawakita obtained a passport in
1899 to go to Japan, to study at
Meiji University. He returned to
the United States August Is, 1946,
year iSter the wars end, after
obtaining passport in Yokohama
on the representation that he was
student during the war years, Mr..
Hood said.
In Washington, FBI Chief ].
Edgar Hoover said Kawakita, son of
former Calexico grocer, had, as
camp foreman, assigned prisoners to
impossible tasks and cruely and
maliciously mistreated the men
under his control"
The FBI said evidence indicated
Kawakita had claimed the United
States citizenship he was entitled
to by birth, and so far as is known
had never taken any oath of alle-
glance to the Japanese Empire.
All Knew Kawakita.
FBI Agent william A. Murphy
quoted Mr.. Bruce as saying:
"All of us in the camp knew this
fellow. When he wasn't actually
forcing us to submit to indignities,
he was coaxing some of the Jap
soldiers into some devilish plans to
harass us.
"All of us agreed after hearing
him brag about having been born
in the United States, that If we
ever saw his again we would kill
him. I don't doubt that every
American who left the camp de-
parted with the idea of sometime
coming across 'Kaw-Kida' and
wiping that silly grin off his face"
Another former prisoner. M/Sergt
Ralph W. Montgomery, Fort Mac
Arthur, Calf, told the FBI that,
under 'Kaw-Kida's direction. pris-
oners were beaten, kicked and
worked to the point of exhaustion.
Investigators said they learned that
Thomas J. O'Connor, Miami Beach,
Fla, temporarily lost his sanity due
to beatings. Another soldier, J. C. !
Grant, Clarkesville, Ga. reported he |
was repeatedly knocked into the
camps cesspool by Kawakita and |
guards, the FBI declared.
Kawakita, under constant sur
Veillance since Mr.. Bruce spotted |
him, was arrested at his Los Angeles
home.

State Body Invites
Tourists To County

yellowstone county offers you
Montana recreation you'll for
get" reads a recent quarter-page
advertisement in the st. Paul Pho
neer Press, one of Minnesota's larg-
est circulation newspapers.
Against the background of a cow
boy pointing to a sign on which is
written, "For a Vacation that Rests
You, Come to Montana" the adj
vertisement characterizes the coun-
try as, "To the east, where mottled
badlands cast purple shadows on the
canyon floor, lean, tanned stockmen
ride the rolling plains. To the south
the rugged grandeur of the Rockies
beckons motorist, sportsman and ad-
%venturer."
The advertisement, part of the
current program of the Montana
Chamber of Commerce to publicize
the state for tourist and industrial
reasons, carries a coupon directed to
the Helena office of the state
chamber. Numerous coupons re-
questing information on Yellowstone
county and Montana have been re-
ceived, and it is anticipated that
many more will come.
Last year the state chamber re-
ceived and answered over 10000 in
q%uiries on Montana, as a result of
which many thousands of tourists
we're persuaded to include Montana
in their western tour. This year in
~quiries have been running an aver
age of $50 per day, indicating an
increasing interest in the recreation
al and industrial possibilities of the
state.

SAFETY RECORDS OF
AIR TRAVEL VIEWED

Safety measures and records OF
scheduled airplane flights were dis
cussed Tuesday at the weekly meet
ing of the Rotary club by Robert
E. McKenna of Billings, district traf-
fic manager of Western Air Lines.
Although airplane accidents and dis
asters make spectacular reading, the
scheduled flights cover many million
miles a year in this country with
only a slight loss of life, consider
ing the great number of people
carried and the distance travelled.
in its approximately 40 years of ex-
istence air travel has made immense
strides in both service and safety,
the speaker said.
McKenna was introduced by Joe
Fry, a program committeeman for
July. o. K. Chapman, installed last
week as club president, presided at
the session. He and Secretary r.
B. Packard reported on the district
Rotary assembly that was held Sun
day and Monday at Bozeman.
McKenna made an early reference
to radar as a safety measure. Its
use is in proportion to experiment
tation and practical experience, with
out extravagant claims to mislead
the pubic. Also mentioned were
automatic controls that have added
to the safety of travel by air.
Radar is in three divisions of use
on the ground and in the air. 1t
is being added to plane equipment
as it is tailored to fit existing needs.
A difference was noted between
scheduled and unscheduled air trans
port. The first refers to CONNER
cial transport over established routes
definite schedules. The second
is private passenger and freight
planes operating by charter or at
will. Many of the air accidents
occur in unscheduled flights. The
majority of the large insurance COM
now regard travel by air as
more a hazard than other means
transportation
