J ELSIE SAYS: Irradiated with Vitamin Dt Homoemired for quicVer-dtiestirtgt aTI-nlsei 10th infantry battalion better known as the purple heart battalion is coming home to his brothers in Hawaii. Of his parents he knows nothing. He left them in Japan four years ago where he attended school as ordered by his father. Niesl Inducted Dick was inducted along with several hundred other Hawaiian- born nisei shortly after Pearl j Harbor. For the first time in his life he was brought to the main land. "That first winter in Wiscon sin," he explained, "was pretty 1 rugged. None of us had ever seen snow before and we kept the hospitals full of cases of pneu monia. From there we went to : the deep south where we were hated bitterly and distrusted. Be lieve me, none of us was reluct ant to leave." ' Dick got his first purple heart when a high explosive shell sprayed him with lagged pieces of steel a few days after his out fit went into action for the first time. Award In Italy The first oak leaf cluster came in the Italian campaign where more shrapnel pitted his left leg, sending him to the hospital for six weeks last spring. Purple heart number three and the bronze star came simultaneously in the bloody fight for the Vol turno river crossing, where Dick received his commission in the field after the majority of his company's officers had been eith er killed or wounded. His last wound occurred when a German tank shell fired at point-blank range shattered his left leg. A fellow-American officer, Capt. L. Leo Sautler, Long Beach, Calif., expressed lt this way: "The job these kids did and com. m jctwx tT,,tit mt. en. "Your mother tells ine she caught you smoking, and it will go easier for you if you'll tell me where you got the cigarets " - Europe is one of and most heart- ever given any body are doing In the toughest breaking of men.

AUeh Q. yong, a Chinese American from Portland and a University of Oregon graduate, was an interpreter recently for a family of Japanese civilians rounded up on the island of Saipan, according to a United Press dispatch. PFC Henry M. Pahnke of Wis consin was on a sightseeing tour of the north central area of Saipan when he spotted a child running into a cave. Pahnke and four other Americans made their way down a steep cliff high above the cave until they reached the entrance. A Japanese man raised his hands and came out of the cave, followed by his wife and five children, the oldest eight years. The enlisted men took the fam ily back to their unit where Corporal Wong talked to them. The Japanese refused to eat Christmas candy, cookies and cheese offered to them by their eaptort, untfl the eight-year-eld boy, after sniffing and tasting the food, began to eat. The rest of his family quickly followed suit. At the refugee camp, according to a naval officer, the family, who had hid in a cave for five and a half months after , the island was captured was in "a better state of health" than many civilians who had been in hiding a shorter period of time. Tne Japanese had been living off. a vast store of canned and crated rations and rice. Corporal Wong has been over seas since tht summer of 1044. He Joined the army in the winter of 1943 after his graduation from the University of Oregon.
