WASHINGTON, July 20- (Jp) -Two
survivors of the heroic: ma
rine garrison on Wake island said
today the defenders surrendered
to the Japanese largely to prevent
further slaughter -of unarmed ci
vilians. . . ! - V '
Seventy civilians had already
been killed, along with 49 ma
rines, when the little Pacific
Miss and John F. Kinney, 80, of
marine death came the day after
surrender. A, Japanese cbrpsman
told them enemy casualties . to
taled about j 500. ; j ; . .
It was lieutenant Kinney who
was ; credited with - keeping the
island's, few ; planes in the air by
a " process of patching, swapping
parts, stripping and rebuilding.-
Lieutenant McAlister was with
the defense farces on tiny Wilkes
island, part; of the Wake atoll,
which was the last defending unit
to surrender. ;- f I
Kinney said he was in an im
provised hospital suffering from
exhaustion when ' the - surrender
order came, and a surrender flag
was raised Over he j hospital
shack. When Japanese troops ar
rived, he ,said,j all personnel who
were able were standing; with
arms raised, 'IbutMhe ' Japanese
vunax, wasn. .
f They have Just reached Wash
ington after escape from a pris
oner of war camp near Shanghai,
China.' How they managed that is
a secret. 1.,.: ,
.The lieutenants said the 'Japa
nese killed two wounded men in
a surrendered hospital, forced all
the surrendering garrison to strip
and tied them to posts for hours.
They allowed the captives no food
and little water for two days.,,
They told a news conference
that: there were, 435 marines on
Wake at the start, that the 50th
en two meals a day from their
own stores. ,1 . '.-.
Except for about 300 civilians
and a few specialist military per
sonnel left behind as a labor bat
talion, and a few too ill to move,
the . island's garrison iwas ' put
aboard the former passenger lin
er Mita Maru, on the afternoon
of January 2. No one: was al
lowed ? to . take anything except
the clothes he wore. j All were
locked up in holds below deck,
not allowed to talk, and had to
sleep on the bare deck - , .
! The ship arrived January 18 in
Yokohama, where a few enlisted
men and officers were taken off.
The remainder arrived in Shang
hai January 24.
Food ;in the prison camp con
sisted of small, portions of rice,
and occasionally some cabbage or
carrots with a tiny piece of meat
about every, third meal.
The officers were paid 160in
Central; Reserve bank money
monthly. At the time they left,
the exchange rate was 14,000 such
dollars to one United States dol
lar. Ten Japanese cigarets, "ap
parently made out of seaweed,"
cost $40. .
The prisoners! health held up
fairly well after Hed Cross, pack
ages began to arrive, which "kept
us going." Attempts at escape re
sulted in 10-year sentences for
"attempted desertion from the
Japanese army,
When the first attack came De-"
cember 8, Wake time, Kinney was
80 miles at sea .with a four-plane
patroL The garrison's eight other
planes 1 were ' dispersed on' the
ground as much as possible) but
the' first attack destroyed seven
and badly damaged the eighth.
20 were "k 1 11 e d or ' seriously
wounded.
The I first sea, attack came ca
December 1L This resulted in tho
sinking of a Japanese cruiser and
two destroyers and damage: to
another, cruiser: and a transport
r Between the-first and. 23rd at
tempts, at landing, the island was
bombed continually, and by the
time the landing '.was effected,
there wrs no plane left in flyirg
condition. 1 ', , . .
That was' when the final dra
matic message went out: '
"Enemy on Island. . Issue U ,
doubt". i ; - :.;
-nevertheless fired into the shack,
killing two and wounding one. .
:' Their story,! from then on: ! t
All of the surrendering garri
son were stripped naked and tied
tor posts for 'several hours and
then kept in J the open for. two
days. On Christmas night they
were moved to barracks and giv-
island was finally given up to
strong enemy forces on Dec. 23,

Here's that man again, trying
to sell Salem parking meters.
And here are the merchants who
are opposed to the parking meter
idea, passing a petition of protest
Are we going to have a knock-
down-dragout " fight as we did
several years ago over the park
ing meter question? v : , ;
The first the town knew that
the parking meter question had
come up again was when the city
council adopted a resolution au
thorizing the city recorder to call
for bids on meters. That seems
rather fast work, in view of . the
strong previous opposition. There
had been no preliminary discus
sion or agitation. '
The last time the proposition
was up, there were various ru
mors of velvet for those promot
ing the sale of the various meter
devices. No such report has yet
been heard in the 'present in
stance, but the council would do
welT to ascertain whether the
present call for meters comes
from a "selling" job or, from gen
uine public demand, i - "T '
Street parking, with or without
meters, is not the answer to
downtown ; parking. More . off
street parking is . required to ac
commodate worker and shoppers.
The streets have to be saved for
movement of traffic and for short
stops and deliveries. In all cities
those in business in the central
area are studying how to provide
off-street 'parking for patrons
and workers..;. -'
This- -tmisiiiM is one wfeleht
very properly should be referred
to the new planning commission.
It would have a dispassionate ap
proach to the subject and could
make recommendations based on
facts. Retailers who have been
opposed to meters are neverthe
less ready to do what is shown
to be. best for the city.
There is no immediate rush on
the matter. Why not take a little
time,' 'have appropriate studies
made, and get the matter settled
without the contention and bit
terness of several years ago?

f BERLIN, Julrs,.. Jrestdent
Truman toldT the world today that
the United States does not pro
pose to trade its sacrifices in the
bloodiest of wars for territorial
conquest or monetary gain.
Speaking only a few miles from
the formers kaisers' palace whers
he is working with Prime Minis
ter Churchill and Generalissimo
Stalin on a formula for preserv
ing Europe against future war he
declared pointedly:
j "We are not fighting for con
quest There is not a piece of ter
ritory or one thing of monetary
nature we want out of this war."
! The words were spoken at the
historic occasion of the raising of
the stars and stripes over the cap
ital of Germany "our greatest
adversary." Picked infantrymen
from the Second ("Hell on
Wheels") armored division then
heard this solemn warning:
Wa faust- not forget that - we !
are 'fighting K f6rvpeace and ' for j
the 'welfare of mankind." : I -
" This was interpreted as an ex
position of the! American position,
not only as relates tor present ne
gotiations for: settlement of Eu
rope's age-old territorial and oth
er problems, but as new advice
to the Japanese people that the
war in the Pacific is hot aimed at
the people themselves.
" "We want peace and we want
to see the time come when we
can do the things in peace that
we have been able to do in war,
the gray - haired Missourian as
sured the victorious outfit . '
"If we can put this tremendous
machine' of ours aich has made
this victory pa jle to work for
peace, we can look; forward to
the greatest age in the history of
mankind. j

;The junior senator from Oregon

He'd been doing It all week and
said nobody in Washington was
