Thousands of Japanese Soldiers Are Buried In Two Jima Caves While US. Marines Practice On Defense Of Japan

TWO LIMA, R-Unknown thou sands of Japanese soldiers lie buried in honeycombed caves be- heath Two Jima while American Marines ironically practice on the 9-year-old battlefield to defend Japan.
 An Air Force chaplain who has studied the fantastic underground defenses said, i've seen at least 5000 bodies"
 A Marine engineer said There may be 10000 bodies here. We all know there were 10000 Japanese here and only handful got off. It stands to reason the rest are still down in the caves"
 The bodies are not buried. They rest where the men died or were carried.
 Caves Off Limits To Military
 The caves have been plAced off limits by the military. However, many bodies have been uncovered accidentally by demolition squads exploding old ammunition and sealing off caves for maneuvers by the 3rd Marine Division-part of the American forces committed to the defense of Japan.

Court Delays Decision On Guardianship For Orphaned Marquam Wells

LOS ANGELES, LR - Superior Court has delayed until April a decision on guardianship for Mar quam Wells, 3, left an orphan by the tragic death of his parents, Cecil and Diane Wells.
 Contesting guardianship of Mar quam are his paternal aunt, Mrs. Edna Westbrook, 46, of Fair banks, and his maternal grand mother, Mrs Florence Yvonne Ward, 55, San Francisco.
 Their petitions were presented Monday before Judge Victor R. Hansen Mrs Westbrook claims that a 1851 will of Mrs Wells named her guardian in case both parents should die Mrs. Ward maintains that to return Marquam to Fairbanks would be physchol- ogically detrimental to the child.
 Judge Hansen continued the hearing pending the presentation of a report by probation depart ment investigators. The child is being cared for here by MT. and Mrs. Allen Mansfield, friends of Mrs. Wells.
 Mrs Ward suggested it would be best to rear the child in San Francisco, where she lives, so that Marquam would not be exposed to the tragic history of his par ents' death.
 Mrs. Wards attorney told the court that in Fairbanks the child sooner or later would be faced with the shocking accounts of the deaths of his father and mother" but with his grandmother in San Francisco this would not be like ly"

Marine Maj. Roland M. Daly of Spokane, Wash, reported sealing off two caves, one with 600 bodies and the second with up to 1,400 Although his estimates were hasty and probably high, demolition men report finding some bodies in almost every big cave.
 The caves are filtered with old and dangerous ammunition and explosives.
 Chaplain Capt. George s. Bic Der, Williamsburg, Pa., has made an extensive study of the under ground positions since he came to the island in October, 1853. He has mapped 18 fantastic under ground honeycombs scattered over the five -mile-long island. He has made no effort to map the hundreds of smaller caves.

City Council Meeting Notes

The Nome City Council met in regular session Monday night and welcomed back Councilwoman Rose Silverman who has been in the States for several months.
 The Street Committee reported that the abundance of late snow is costing the city about $500 day for extra labor and equip ment to keep the streets open for traffic.
 The Playground Insurance pol icy was discussed by the Council as the present insurance does not protect the city in case of accident and efforts will be made to con- tact both Alaskan and Stateside insurance companies for an acci- dent policy. Mrs. Steve Andersen stated that in addition to insur- ance the playground should have more adequate supervision.
 The inclusion of a narcotics ordinance was discussed in com pliance with a request from the Federal government which is being made to all incorporated communities in the territory.
 An adjustment on wages for employees of the Nome Power plant was discussed inasmuch as these people no longer are pro- vided with free electricity.
 The election board for the com ing municipal election was named and includes Mrs. Ray Tveter, Mrs w. Mccarthy, Fred Rohn, Mrs. R. Roell, and Mrs. Clyde Godsbe.
 The City Clerk was instructed to send letters of appreciation to the Fire Department at Nome Field and Lomen Commercial Co. for their aid in the w. J. Russell residence fire last week.
 Carl Glavinovich resigned from he City Council and his resig- nation was accepted by the Coun- cil so that he could file his candi- dacy for the utilities board.
 Mrs. Jennie Martin lodged a complaint against the city for killing her dog, a young pup on her premises, and this opened discussion on the seriousness of the rabies situation here. Clyde Glass and his crew could not be present at the meeting to give their version of the shooting as they were fire fighting at Nome Field.
 Mrs. Martin also asked that the city grant longer open hours to liquor stores, charged that there was much bootlegging of bottle goods after the liquor stores close. Mayor Anderson requested that the bar owners and liquor store dealers get together and work out the present problem and present their solution of it to the council for consideration.

The question was raised by one
Of several committees reporting

Economic Relations.
Even before the recent Su-
preme Court decision outlawing
segregation in public schools, the
board was preparing to bring up
the question at this conference.
It had drawn up a proposal that
the conference consider the fact
that its churches now operate
as a segregated institution. The
board was expected to say more
later today.
Foreign Policy Questions.

One deplores military aid to
Pakistan which cannot help but
disturb the relations between

Two women political leaders
were key speakers at the final
session. Bertha s. Adkins. as
sistant to the chairman of the

said "women's greatest contribu-
ton to politics goes beyond the
activity stage. Women can. and
often do, bring politics an ideal
ism which makes of politics the
high profession that it should
be-"
Mrs. Katie Louchheim, direc-
tor Of women's activities for the
Democratic National Committee,
said II believe that the biggest
part Of a woman's job in politics
is to get out the thought as well
as the vote. Behind the Iron
Curtain they get out the vote but
they are very careful not to en-
courage people to think. The
thought behind each ballot cast
in America is the margin of diff
ference between our elections and
theirs"
