We all started from scratch; it was interesting to see how various ones made out. Take Sam Gaches for example. Sam was the president of the Hea- cock department store, Manila's largest, housed in an air-conditioned skyscraper. He was silver haired, distinguished, president of the American chamber of com merce. He became the men's wash room attendant. I shall always remember him sitting beside the door, issuing two or three sheets of paper each to the file of men who entered. Paper, like dignity, was scarce. The camp "sanitation rinurt. ment" was headed by Robert Ce cil, an insurance man. His staff included a national rltv hani, ecutive, an American president steamship line officer, two Standard Oil men and a high school teacher. They lugged gar bage and burned rubbish. - The biggest man in tho camp, 8-foot, 4V4 4nch David Harvey MacTurk, never scrubbed a floor or hauled a garbage can. He had been a crofesslnnol ni.ri.i...

He was the nerferf Imi.. . of his fellow-internees, many of wnom had been far more influen tial in Manila life than he, ever questioned his leadership. His persuasive arguments induced the Japs to ease progressively the rigid rules under was set up.
