Dec. 21, 1953 9A Jap Bride Mourns Yank Husband SAD NEWS FROM PANMUN.IOM Knko Araki, Jap anese bride of American PFC Claude .1. Batchelor, 22, of Kcrmit, Texas, sadly reads a letter in Tokyo from her husband, one of the 22 Americans who have elected thus far to remain with the Communists, in which he tells her it is impossible for him to return to her. The letter was in reply to one from her in which she asked him to come hack to Japan. "I don't understand, I don't understand," she sobbed after reading the letter. "He says he wants to see me and his friends and go places we used to." Whooping Cranes Make Slight Gain By DAVE CHEAVENS Associated Press Staff Writer AUSTWELL, Tex. Iffl Wing ing in this week on a north wind from the arctic, three whooping cranes put the nearly extinct birds slightly ahead in their battle for survival against' men and wild animals. Now 24 of the stately white birds are feeding in the swamps of their ancestral home three more than left here last spring on their annual migration to the Arctic Circle. Julian A. Howard, manager nf the Aransas Pass wildlife refuge nn Blackjack Peninsula, had been watching for the last three or four weeks, since they had been reported seen in flight from the far north. Where they dallied on the way is anybody's guess. Howard and his crew of half a do7.en young wildlife scient ists zealously guard the nearly extinct, whnopcrs every winter at this South Texas refuge of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They stand watch nn shaky, 20-foot observation towers and patrol the swamps and water ways by jeep and boats equip ped with two-way radios. One of the toughest jobs is standing between the whoopers and sightseers who are some times more curious about the big birds than they are con cerned whether they live or die out. The whoopers don't like to he disturbed as they prowl the shallow bay waters and shore lines of this 47,000-acre wilder ness. The refuge is the winter home of the huge whooping cranes with their brilliant white bodies and black-etched wing tips. It is the only known win tering site used by the tempera mental whoopers who hatch their young somewhere near the Arctic Circle in Canada, then fly with them in snug family groups to the Gulf Coast. The flock of 21 that, migrat ed, north last April included only, two young from the pre vious summer's hatch. The Na tional Audubon Society and the Fish and Wildlife Service have put on intensive campaigns in the whooper's flyway north and south from Canada to Texas to educate people who might be inclined to shoot at them just for the sake of shooting. Many have been slain by care less or malicious hunters. About half the blindness in the United States could have been prevented by proper care says the National Society for the Pre vention of Blindness. leather selected with a master's eye... f buckles crafted with a jeweler's precision (iMwio lit T SHEET --- - - I ' & BP..

Tama, a cat, is an old grandmother. Younger sister Tnshiko has grown up. She is a pretty young lady now. Three Christmases have come and gone since boyish Cpl. Claude Batcherlor, 22, of Ker mit, Tex., taught his little Jap anese war bride to sing "The Tennessee Walts" and went off to war in Korea. In a few days the fourth Christmas will be here. "Circumstances marie it im possible for me to return to Tokyo now," read a typewrit ten letter received Saturday by the bride, Kyoko Araki. It was signed by Batchelor, one of 22 American service men held in a Panmunjom, Ko rea compound after refusing to quit Communism. "We know what we arc do ing now is right and a step toward a better future for man kind as a whole, "the letter said, "especially for working peo ples who now have to undergo continual suffering . . . "I have changed immensely since 1 last saw you. You would not believe I was the same man. I have learned that hap piness does not come with money as bused to believe but that it comes from struggle born nf the fight for the eman cipation nf mankind from the shackles of war and capitalistic exploitation." The letter advised her to go to the .Japanese Communist Party for help and guidance. Phrase by phrase, an inter preter turned the words into swift, staccato Japanese. With each new sentence, the little figure nn the office sofa seem ed to crumble anew. Kyoko received the letter in The Associated Tress office. Associated Press correspond ents had carried to Panmun jom her letter begging Batch elor to return, then brought back the reply. "I don't understand," she kept saying. "He may be a Communist now, He's been in prison camp so long, but if he came back here he'd forget it soon, very soon." ' Then she smiled quickly, and said she wouldn't think of con tacting the Japanese Commu nist Party because of her ha tred for Communism. "I write him again," she. said. "I will do anything to get him back. I'll go to the neutral zone to see him. But I won't go to Communist, China." His letter had' hinted of plans for reunion soon in a Communist, country. Kyndo borrowed a fountain pen and paper, went over to a steel desk and started writing. "I fear the happiness of us two is being taken away for good," she wrote. "My Darling Claude." "You used In sing for me Tennessee Waltz," she recalled. "I can now sing it well. Our cat. Tama, is now an old grand mother. The dog, Itassi is dead. "Please, my darling, come back to me. I want to hear you again chuckle softly with your lips slightly bent. . . . "You mentioned 'circum stances' that do not allow you to reunite with me right now. What are those circumstances? , , . Why don't you come back right now and explain to us from your moulh your ideas? You can go for your own ideas living with we. ... I know that you can come home simp ly by talking to an India guard and telling him so. . . . "My mother sobs whenever she speaks about you. I try to calm her down, telling, 'He'll be back before Christmas' But while trying to do so, I sob too. Let's reunite as soon as possible. I cannot-conlinue this letter for tears now gush in my eyes." The imprint of her lips was on the envelope when she handed it to a newsman for relay to Panmunjom.
