Feminist Writes
To Mrs. Ridgway
"fO-W-Japan-s most
53 nent woman leader appealed
Sunday to Mrs. Matthew B. Ride
way to ask the general to bar
American servicemen from Japa
nese brothels and "isolate immor
al U.S. troops."

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.

"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

during the past six and one half
years. The oldest of these occupa

year."
ESTIMATES HAVE varied wide,

total at 200,000, but later cut it to
120,000.

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!"
