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.
