By Waiter Kunille (Unttnl Praia Staff Correpondn) Chungking, April 20 miAmeri can war prisoners in Japan are being used as Coolies to perform dirty work on the waterfronts. Japanese live in constant dread of aerial attack, wnicn mey ju.iy expect in 3944. Strict blackouts are enforced nightly In Tokyo, Kobe, Yokoha mn and other cities. Strict censorship withholds all news of Japanese military re verses for the people. This, in part, was the picture of Japan given me by an alert, intelligent Chinese girl who has just arrived in Chungking after a difficult round trip to and from Japan. "Tokyo Is full of funny type air raid shelters," she saiu. tvery few yards of every street you see holes in the pavement. They are about five feet deep and five feet square, with the top uncovered. Beside each one' is a sign which says "air raid shelter four per sons." Prisoners Worked She said she saw American prisoners of war doing Coolie work on the docks. "Outside Kobe I saw American prisoners in sampans. They were dressed In rags, and were loading coal steamers. "I couldn't speak to them, of course, but I observed them from the deck of a ship. The Japanese told me American soldiers cap tured in the southwest Pacific were being used as Coolies In practically every part of Japan." She said the Japanese are con vinced their home islands will be attacked from the air this year. "Friends all advised me to leave Japan before spring. One girl, a member of a prominent Japa nese family, said: "We're afraid the same thing will happen to Tokyo that's happening to Ber lin," Wounded Seen ' Everywhere In Japan, she said, the visitor is conscious of the num erous war wounded. "People on the street must bow to them to show their re spect. They must also bow to the many little boxes containing the ashes of Japanese war dead.

"At Kobe, I saw a funeral cere mony lasting all afternoon. Ap parently it was for a general." She said there were few men on the streets of Japanese cities ex cept boys under 17, the wounded, the aged and a few businessmen. She said there appeared to be an "obvious distrust" among Japa nese for their German allies. Warning; Issued "I was repeatedly warned not to talk to Germans. In the Im perial hotel at Tokyo I was told to be most careful of my conver sation lest I be overheard by Ger mans." Miss Chen said she saw noth ing in Japan to support the theory that Japan may collapse internal ly at an early date. V "Instead," she said, "it is my impression that the Japanese will make a long, hard fight. The average Japanese is reasonably well fed and still confident that the Japanese armies are winning. "They have all been Impressed that if they do not win, they will be crushed as a nation."
