Field Trips

PRESIDE of MONTEREY, Cal,
June 13-One of the high spots in
working with the soap Civil Com
municotions Section in Japan was
the various field trips. recalledS Sgt.
George Murakami, who recently re-
enlisted into the Army. Formerly
of Los Angeles. Sgt Murakami is
presently awaiting shipping orders
to Japan at the Preside of Mon
terey.
These field trips alleyiated much
of the daily office routine of trans
lating documents, ond at the same
time provided us with some unusual
experiences, he said On these
trips. according to Murakami, it
was their job TO check the amount
of equipment at the various ra-
dio manufacturing plants in GER
tain areas. More than half of
these plants were on the repara-
lions list, which meant that those
plants would probably be taken
over as reparations by soap. Ma
turally the plant owners wanted
to be taken of the list for they
devoted much effort to influence
ing the checking teams in their ia
vor but TO no avail Some of their
actions were rather amusing, re-
called Murakami.
Sgt. Murakami graduated from
the MISLS OF Fort Smelling, Mimi,
in November 1914, after which he
was sent to the Chino Burma In
dia theater. At NeW Delhi, he in
terrogated prisoners and translat-
co documents, and then was sent
to China, where he did a similar
type of wark After the surren-
der of Japan, he went to Shanghai
and was attached to the war crimes
investigating commission until Oc-
tober 1945 when he was sent to To-
kyo. He was discharged from the
Army last January.
