the American flag,
. "The flag had been made in
camp by the women and was
kept hidden. The Japanese had
searched for It before. When
the flag was raised we tried to
sing My Country Tis of Thee,
The Star Spangled Banner and
God Bless America, but we
were so filled with emotion
that I could not area sing all
the songs,
"The rest of the day we were
left alone and had plenty of food
to eat that evening. Some Amer
icans came in after dark that
night. They had not known we
were there until one of them
heard American voices over
where the military . prisoners
were. i . , '
Interned 1135 Days
. "On Monday morning, Feb. S,
the 37th Div. came to our rescue.
That was the 1135th doy we had
been interned by the Japanese,
and to be among our own coun
trymen was wonderful.
"The Japanese threw hand gre
nades into our compound injur
ing some of the children. The
boys were so nice and kind and
looked so big to us because peo
ple around us looked so thin. It
wasn't long until we took on our
proper proportions.
"That night the boys said vc
should take a suitcase and blunk
et and they would take us away
from Hie burning city. They
stopped all military operations
and took us away in trucks and
other vehicles. There were about
500 civilians and 800 military
prisoners."

Anderson to Seek
Beneficial Use of
Farm Surpluses
YAKIMA, Wash., June 14 (UP)
Two incoming members of
President Truman's cabinet, Clin
ton P. Anderson, D., New Mexico,
and Federal Judge Lewis B.
Schwellenbach, of Spokane, who
will take office July 1 as new
secretaries of agriculture and
labor, today outlined their per
sonal attitudes toward their new
jobs.
Anderson, head of the house
Investigating committee on food
shortages, concluded a hearing
here yesterday, and is scheduled
to move to Seattle for another
food conference before reluming
to Washington, D. C. Schwellen
bach, in Yakima for final court
sessions, joined him as honor
guest at a dinner given by the
Yakima chamber of commerce.
In his address last night
Schwellenbach sketched his plans
for labor. "I am going to try an
interesting experiment," he said.
''I am going to see if a major de
partment of the government can
not be operated on the same basil,
us a court. I intend to sec if the
labor department cannot be based
on the same principals of justice
as is a court."
Anderson said he believes it is
"unfair to ask the farmers to
greatly increase their production
during stress of war, and then
fallow them to go broke after the
need for increased production is
over.
Use of Surpluses Planned
' We have always been con
cerned with taking care of sur
pluses in agricultural products,
with burning or burying or other
wise destroying those surpluses.
I propose to sec if we cannot use
those so-called surpluses by eat
ing them up, instead of destroy
ing them.
During yesterday's hearings,
urgent appeals were made for an
increased canning sugar alloca
tion, with fruit growers predict
ing large wasteage of the north
west's soft fruit crops this season
if more sugar were not forthcom
ing. "We must do everything pos
sible to preserve this season's
fruit supply," Anderson said,
"however, we must not overlook
the fact the sugar situation as it
stands now is as bad as it has
been depicted, if not worse."

a bill proposing to increase
salaries of congressmen from
$10,000 to $20,000 per year af
ter President Truman urged
such a measure. The Bridges
Overlon bill also would boost
the vice president's salary from
$15,000 to $25,000 per year and
