We can imagine that this statement would be said by almost anyone who had been overseas for 12 years and especially anyone who had spent the last three of those years in a Japanese prison camp.

On amine back to the states, I the lieutenant was taken to San Francisco for removal of shrapnel from her leg, received during the shelling of Santo Tomas by the Japs the week following the camp's liberation by our soldiers. Because of this. Lieutenant Weiss blatt is not gaining back the lost weight from starvation as rapidly as some of her comrades. "Why, some of them coming back to the states are gaining a pound a day," she exclaimed. when we heard that she was com ing home." Mr. Shriver said ex citedly.
