Ride way to ask the general to bar American servicemen from Japa nese brothels and "isolate immor al U.S. troops." tT.!le p'?,a was ln an 0Pei le"er to the Allied supreme command ers wife from Mrs. Tamaki Uye 2?' me,mber of the National Public Safety Commission which supervises Japanese police activi ties. She also is head of the Young Women's Christian Asso ciation in Japan. The letter, appearing ln "Fujin Koron' or "Women's Forum" the nation's top women's monthly magazine, was the most critical attack on the morals of the Amer ican garrison made publicly by any Japanese since the 1945 sur render. . v MRS. UYEMTJRA accused American servicemen of "corrupt ing Japanese morals." "Mme. Ridgway," the letter began, "do you happen to know of the great number of American soldiers patronizing Japanese pros titutes? "Step into Tachikawa, a U.S. air base center in Tokyo's western suburbs, for one instance. You will see hundreds and thousands of women lining up on the streets. American soldiers hang around until they pick up one each from the lines and go somewhere. "Such prostitutes now total be tween 70,000 and 80,000 in Japan and earn 200 million dollars. This is a big business next to the Ko rean war business which totals 400 million. "When an air wing was based at Twflklinf In UTacta-..

"MANY JAPANESE children are now playing 'pan-pan, post war Japanese slang for prostitute, among themselves. It is a juvenile experiment in the business of prostitution ..." "Mme. Ridgway," the letter con tinued, "many innocent Japanese girls worship Westerners. They try to speak English and to be friendly to Americans. "These girls are quickly seduced and eventually become prostitutes. It Is, of course, a Japanese re sponsibility to prevent these girls from falling into temptation. But it is very painful to me to see these poor girl victims the end product of the war defeat. "These girls have reportedly mothered 200,000 illegitimate chil dren, and deserted many of them during the past six and one half years. The oldest of these occupa tion-born children join school next year." ESTIMATES HAVE varied wide, ly on the number of these occu patlon babies, admittedly a sizable one.

Insurance Agency All Types of Insurance PHIL tl7"7481 call at 555 Main Street, Springfield, Oregon Jay Williams, Retired Guide, Retells Tales By R. HARLOW SCHUXIOS B.ilU.r-Gu.rd SUH Writer The wiry little man at 2872 Pot ter somehow doesn't quite lit on this quiet Eugene street. And, frankly, to look at the light weight, kindly gent, you'd not suspect he Is the dean of Alaska's big game hunters, either. Jay Williams lives here, how ever, physically at least, even though his idle moments are given to cleaning his .375 calibre Win chester Model 70 and thinking of the Northland. It's those thoughts of the "raw north" that brought his friends to urge, "Write a book." After all, they reasoned, a man who has killed between 150 and 200 grizzly and brown bears largest carniv orous animal on earth should have something special to tell. Alaskans estimate he shot perhaps half of these bears in self-defense. So Williams" did just that. Alaskan Adventure" is currently hitting the bookstores in the U. S., Canada and Alaska and being heralded as "a tale of pioneer ex perience, much of it exciting ad venture, on wild and turbulent rivers, and amid steep and snow covered mountains, in the land of the giant moose, mammoth brown bears, goats, sheep, and caribou. Country where the howl of wolves and the roar of avalanches were continual music to his ears." The book Is on local display. Publisher is Stackpole Publishing Co., Har risburg, Pa. NOW ALASKANS are slow about calling any man the "dean of bear hunters," and Williams had to earn the title. Characteris tically, his book starts out with the same impact as a slug from his rifle on his first day in the Territory. To quote from Page 3: . . . At the sound of the shot the bear dropped ln the snow and rolled out of sight. The other whirled and rushed to the spot where its wounded mate had gone.' Jacking a cartridge into the barrel and slipping another Into the magazine I remamed snuggled against the limbs of .the tree to await developments. Something must have warned me to be care' ful, for it certainly wasn't the dictate of experience. "In a few seconds the unwound' ed bear came lunging from the brush, straight up the hill, ap. parently at me. "SEVERAL thoughts flashed through my head. The bear was approaching much faster than a man .could travel ln the soft snow. My first reaction was to start firing. This was crowded out by a more sober thought: wait un til the bear Is fairly close, then deliver a single shot, or at least administer a knock down shot, which would provide time for others, if necessary. As he lifted his head for another lunge, a shot was eased off, aimed at the cen ter of his massive chest . . ." Williams' own summation of where Alaska's great . appeal lies is found in a glowing description of its natural beauty: "It is the sense of freedom from the complexities of modern civili zation, the opportunity to live one's life freely and to commune daily with God and Nature. "It Is the people of Alaska with their warm hospitality, their gen erosity toward those in need, their kindly co-operation, the rigid de termination of the pioneers to carve for themselves a place in the wilderness and to live their lives untrammeled, This Is the essence of Alaska." WILLIAMS' introduction to Alaska came when he was select ed to survey the Alaskan-Canadian boundary in the Chllkat river area, after which he served for thirty years with the National Forest Service in many capacities. Williams confesses he didn't exactly select Eugene as the town to retire to . . . his wife did that. "After a million dollars' worth of fun and having my way for a life time in the Territory, I Just de cided It was fair for my wife to choose a place to live for once. We had passed through Eugene ln our travels and she never for got it. It has that quiet, cultured atmosphere and, well, I'm liking it, too." Interestingly enough, Williams now lives near another big game hunter who drew warm praise on Page 259 of "Alaska Adventure": "For genuine good companion ship and good hunting no one ever equalled a gentleman from Springfield, Ore. This man was the son of an old Oregon pioneer. Be was getting along to the age when he had shifted considerable of the business load to his son's sturdy shoulders. His life had been large ly spent ln the logging and lumber Industry. This healthful work had left him ln good shape physically and able and more than willing to pull his weight ln the boat. He collected a nice brownie and a fine black bear trophy ln a little over three days out of Juneau . . ." THAT MAN Is T. A. Hills, Douglas Gardens, whose home Is a v rtual den of game tropnies ana who Is now planning a new ex cursion to Alaska. "I'm after a caribou, and a wolf will be welcomed," Hills recently told Williams, adding, "are you readv to go?" "Well, not right now," Jay drawled, then, rubbing an Imagl nary spot off his rifle, blurted, "But I will be tomorrow morn ing!" t Hnr5?
