Amagiri Survivors Meet
Mr.. Kennedy's nomination
and election have brought me
a lot Of attention in Japan.
The II survivors of the Amagiri
crew have gotten in touch with
each other and formed a club.
I know they considered me a
very severe commander. But
they wrote me that it was be-
cause of my severity that we
survived.
The Amagiri finally sank
when it was struck by an al
lied torpedo off Borneo April
%, 1914, one month after I
was relieved of command.
We of the Amagiri hope Mr..
Kennedy can establish world
peace no matter how difficult
the situation is. The Eisen-
hover administration managed
to bring peace but could not
settle the cold war. I hope Mr..
Kennedy can.

(AP)-French military sources
said today that Tha Thorn,
one Of the main staging areas
for a planned government Of
fensive against the rebel
Plaine des Jarres. fell to the
pro-Communist forces last
night.
There was no confirmation
Of the report.
According to latest reliable
information available here,
the government had four of
its best paratroop companies
plus an infantry battalion in
Tha Thorn and was digging
in in apparent preparation for
a fight.
Ia Vieng Also Lost
Rebel capture Friday Of the
staging base at Ia Vieng, IA
miles west of Tha Thorn, dealt
a heavy blow to the govern
ment's plan for a drive north
The Ia Vieng-Tha Thorn area
lies about 80 miles northeast
Of Vientiane and about Is
miles south of rebel-held Xiene
Khouang City.
Soldiers and civilians began
digging trenches in Vientiane

! BRUSSELS, Jan. Is (AP)-l
Much of Belgium's work force
returned to their jobs today
after 20 days Of mass strikes.
But a police patrol and DEM
onstrators exchanged shots in
Chenee. near Liege. and two
demonstrators were reported
seriously wounded.
Police said a. small group of
strikers attacked q trolley being
escorted by police.
The police said one Of those
injured was 10 Woussem, 80,
Ia former Belgian boxing cham
pion.
Socialist trade union men,
bers in Liege and Charleroi, in
the Walloon industrial belt. still
kept up the strike that had
virtually paralyzed Southern
Belgium's industries, ports and
communications. But even in
Liege public transport workers
were ordered back by their
union.
Return Is Widespread
Elsewhere the back to work
movement was strong.
The important industrial
centers Of Antwerp and Client
reported a complete return to
work. A government commu-
nique said the strike had ended
in Namur and Luxembourg Prov
inces also.
1t had already practically
ended in three other provinces.
The Ministry of Communica-
tions said railroad personnel
were returning to their jobs
throughout the country, even
at locomotive sheds where
stoppages had been the highest.
One minor rail sabotage in
cident was reported at Remin-
court, between Liege and Brus-
sells. Traffic was delayed
briefly.
Pay to Be SUSPENDED
The government decided to
suspend without pay all state
and public services personnel
who did not resume work today.
The minister of public educa-
ton did the same with public
school teachers last week.
The Socialist trade unions
called the strike in an effort
to force the government to
withdraw its austerity program
Of higher taxes and cuts in
social security benefits.
Although the House Of Rep
resentatives approved the bill
Friday and sent it to the Sen
ate. Socialist Party President
Leo Collard presented King
Baudouin with substitute pro-
gram calling for nationaliza-

Ten degrees turn; full speed
ahead"
crashed Right Into 1t"
Such crash strategy" was
supposed to be the best way to-
meet a torpedo boat attack.
Our destroyer moved headlong
toward the smaller boat at 80
knots.
We crashed right into it. 4
saw the enemy ship break in
two with a tremendous roar.
White gasoline fumes shot out.
The torpedo boat disap-
peared in the dark. I knew
that at least one half and
probably both halves sank.
The commander of that tor
pedo boat happened to be John
F. Kennedy. but Of course it
was not until years later that 7
first heard his name.
Sent to Hospital
I thought probably no one
aboard the small boat survived.
