AN. J, 4 v . jti Trachsel Tell Qf Jap Prison Stories of life in the concen tration camp in north China where he was held before his return to the United States three weeks ago were told by John J. Trachsel at the Kiwanis club luncheon Tues day." Civilian assembly center was the way the Japanese designated the camp, an 11 acre compound formerly used by. the Presbyter ian mission. The 1750 people held in . this camp were housed in IS buildings formerly used ai class rooms by the mission. The food served in the camp was not bad in comparison with that allowed on the Japanese ship before passengers were trans ferred to the Gripsholm, Trachsel said. Real hunger was felt by the returning Americans while aboard the Japanese ship and the thought- fulness of the American Red Cross in tSttrtriTin rt trtA 4-fAM mrsr praised by the speaker. Tables were being set with ev ery possible kind of food in quan tity when the passengers came aboard at Goa, in India. Candy bars handed out by the Red Cross workers alone ' averted a riot. Trachsel gave as his belief. The people were too hungry to have withstood the sight of so much food quietly if they had not had the candy bar to relieve the hun ger. - ; ' The trip from Shanghai to New York took two and a half months and Trachsel took a plane from New York to Portland arriving in two and a half days.
