Veteran on Pacific Isle
Gets Natives Pay Due
To Royal Marriage
By George Weller

ANGAUR, Palau Islands, Nov. rs
Marry the daughter of the boss
and you don't get q raise. In the
topsy-turvy life Of the American
Pacific you're likelier to have a cut,
That's what Henry Worswiek, q
Navy man who married the daugh-
ter of the chiefs Of Augaur, found
out.
Hank, who comes from around
Cleveland. was a medical corpsman
wnen our marines hit the beach
here in 1914. He fell in love with
the beautiful daughter of Axiol, the
runner-up chief of Angaur, and
wanted to marry her.
The island princess seemed will
ing. but Hank wasn't sure that
family life on a Pacific island would
be the right.thing for him. To make
sure he went home to Cleveland.
One spell of American hustle and
high prices cured him.
Went Back to Island.
He went back to his princess,
married her and settled down. He
has two children and a handsome
new house on the white beach of
Western Angaur, not far from where
our first amphibious tanks ground
ashore into Japanese fire.
Everything would be fine for
Hank if it were not for the little
matter of income. Here's where his
marriage into Angaur's royalty gives
pain-about $1,000 worth year.
The most valuable phosphate de-
posits on Angaur, the only mineral
resource in Uncle Sans poor U. N.
trusteeship, is now being worked by
the Japanese for the enrichment Of
Japan's soil, precisely as it was
before Pearl Harbor. The Japanese
have been allowed, by an agree
ment between the Navy and Gen.
Macarthur, to return to the mine
whose ore they carry of to Japan
free.
Hank was offered a salary of
about $3.50 monthly-'way at the
bottom of civil ratings-to help the
American major and sergeant who
are observing the Japanese as they
export the phosphate.
Father-in-L Protests.
But when the checks began to
come in for Hanks very useful serv-
ices, there was a protest from the
most unexpected source-his father
in-law.
You're an Angaur man now," said
Axiol. I'VE Angaur people. who
work with the Japanese for Ameri-
can wages, get only $40 or $50 a
month. When you adopted us as
your relatives. you adopted every
thing about us, including our rate
of pay"
1t was the second tough test for
Hanks love of his island princess
but he met 1t manfully. He tossed
away four-fifths of his pay and
kept his idyllic life in Angaur.
At that, Hank may have been
smart to play ball with his adopted

Upstream rains built the Potomac
River toward flood stage in Western
Maryland today and the stream is

Around Weston, w. Va, a half
dozen highways were blocked by
