Liberated Airmen Tell of Beatings 'At Hands of Japs Calcutta, May 4 JUB Amer ican airmen, liberated from the Japanese prison camp at Ran goon, revealed today how the Japanese beat and starved U. S. fliers, especially B-20 crewmen after the bombing raids on Japan. , The airmen, irom ine nrsi group of Americans freed In Burma, are recuperating in a hospital here. More than 400 Americans, most of them mem bers of the air force, and ap proximately 600 other allied prisoners were liberated at Ran goon. The men were lined up and the guards beat them with "clubs made like pick handles," Eavis said. The Americans were treated worse than the other allied prisoners, he added, and the beatings were more severe when the Japanese guards were drunk. 'I was slapped . about four times a week," Davis said. "It got so you only hoped it wouldn't be too bad. You forgot the humiliation." The first major university to recognize women as students on an equal basis with men was the University of Chicago. RULE RETURN OF ILL'S OVERSEAS Washington, May 8 flJ.R) Military observers here believed today that most soldiers who went overseas before or during early 1943 stand a pretty good chance of being discharged after v-js Day. The real situation won't be known until the army's point- system Is made public. Men will receive points based on length and type of service, wounds and medals and dependency. Those with the most points will be the ones selected for dismissal if they're not essential to the war with Japan. Here are a few clues to guide GI s and their families In sizing up the situation as far as length of service goes. At the start of 1948 there were about l.soo.ouo soldiers overseas. Since the army expects there will be more than 1,300, 000 men discharged in a year's time under the point system, it seems reasonable to believe that most soldiers with overseas ex perience who were in the army before Pearl Harbor, and those who went overseas by the first of 1943, will be eligible.
