Jap Girls Warned Not to Provoke
Low Whistles From Passing Yanks
By Con Caswell
United Press Correspondent
Tokyo, Sept. 18 (U.PJ Tokyo
newspapers today warned Japa
nese girls against bare legs and
"meaningless amiable smiles" as
American officers said fraterni
zation would never become a
problem for GI's in the occupy
ing forces.
Col. Carol V. Cadwell, Arca
dia, Cal., provost marshal for the
Eighth army, said the occupation
had been most orderly so far
with very few sex incidents re
ported since two of three "rape"
cases reported by the Japanese
had proved groundless.
Avoid Whistling
Meanwhile, newspapers which
for the past several days have
been warning Japanese women
to avoid provoking low whistles
and other manifestations from
American soldiers stepped up
their campaign.
Mrs. Sumako Fukao in an
open letter to young women in
Asahi Shimbun warned them
against showing their slips, un
dressing or nursing their chil
dren in public.
"I've had to look away when
some young women in the ele
vated cars nonchalently take off
slacks and show their red under
wear, then wear the slacks again
after putting the rumpled under
wear in order," Mrs. Fukao said.
Yomiuri Hochi, which appar
ently never heard of occidental
toeless sandals, printed an arti
cle headed: "Young girls' smiles
invite misunderstanding. Bare
legs also stimulating. Be business-like,
passive in your re
sponse." Under the headline
Yomiuri said:
Blush If Toes Seen
"In American and European
countries women gtve no thought
to being half naked on the beach,
and at evening parties displaying
their whole backs, and men in
Like a
million ctaSIars
He calls himself a "two-bit cus
tomer." But ha was treated like a
million dollars.
So he has written us a letter
telling how he has found at his
Standard station one brand of
ervice and courtesy for all.
"I rattle up to the pumps,"
says he, "in an old Model A that
has weathered fourteen Arizona
summers. But your station man
ager greets me as if I were the
owner of a fleet of fast cars and
trucks.
"Ho always seems to find
time to do a few extra things
for me and for my battered
automobile. The other day he
took out the floor mat and
cemented parts of an old inner
tube around the holes where the
brake and gearshift lever go
through reinforcing it so it
would last longer. Then he
patched all the tears around the
edge of the mat.
"He wouldn't accept a cent
for this.
"He Is never too busy to do
til the little extra courtesies that
mean so much. And, as I say,
I am just a two-bit customer."
Now, in addition to express
ing our pleasure at such a re
port, there is always ODe thing
we can say in answer to a friend
ly letter like that. If our "two
bit customer" strikes it rich
and we hope he does he can
drive an imported Giioppa Ga
zazza three inches longer than
a battleship into the same sta
tion and get identical service.
Yef, if he keeps on driving
that Arizona antique until it
rivals the original one-hoss
shay, he'll find himself just as
welcome as ever. It has never
made any difference to us what
kind of car a customer drives.
Thai's why, in our hook, there
is no such t'i:n as a ":r. hit
ontor.v.r."
general don't consider this any
thing strange.
"But in daily life the women of
America and Europe don't show
I their breasts. They are proud to
i show their legs but would blush
! with embarrassment if their toes
I were seen. That's the reason
i why sight of a Japanese mother
! nursing children in public and
! girls wearing 'geta' slippers
! which are considered cheap in
: Japan are apt to cause a funny
i feeling among allied officers and
men.
HERBERT MITGHEL
FREED FROM JAPS
Pvt. Herbert W. Mitchel, who
has been a prisoner of war of
the Japanese since the fall of
Corregidor, was released from
the Osaka prison camp Sept. 11,
according to a telegram from
the War department received by
his mother, Mrs. Anna Mitchel,
824 West 13th street, today.
Pvt. Mitchel joined the army
here in January, 1941, and went
to the Philippine Islands in April
of that year. He was with Gen.
Jonathan Wainwright when the
"Rock" fell.
According to a letter received
some time ago from Pvt. Mitcncl,
he was working in an Osaka
shipyard as prison labor. He
will be returned to the United
States in the near future, the
message said.
No Oriental Moths
F ound in Orchards,
County Agent Says
Survey of valley orchards last
week reveals no oriental moths
here, Assistant County Agent
Clifford B. Cordy reports. The
pest, particularly menacing to
pears and peaches, is reported m
California fruit districts. In this
state its presence has been re
ported in the Nyssa section in
eastern Oregon where measures
are being taken to exterminate
it.
The oriental moth in attacking
fruit does not eat the outer layers
covered with spray but ms'ead,
casts it aside. After biting two
or three times, it eats the in
side of the fruit and there lays
its eggs. This trait makes it
hard to combat, Cordy says.
WEATHER

When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Southern Pacific became perhaps the most
strategic railroad in the United States. Serving the West Coast ports of embarkation
from San Diego to Portland, and more military and naval establishments than any
other railroad, wa wero called upon to handle an enormous load.
We were able to handle this load successfully bcaauso of the great work of rail
road men and women up and down the line, and with the help and cooperation of
thousands of people not actually working for the railroad.
Now the war is over. The job b done. But we of Southern Pacific will never for
get the way people stood by us when the task sometimes seemed bigger than our
railroad.
We send our sincere thanks
to the Army, Navy and Government authorities or tlieir tympatlietic
understanding of our problems,
to the shippers who cheerfully put up with delays so that more vital
war freight could go through on time, and who cooperated in many
ways to conserve equipment.
to our passengers, for their good-natured acceptance of crowded trains
and other wartime discomforts.
to the thousands of people who stayed of the trains to make room for
service men and other essential travelers.
fo the' press and radio which understood otir operating difficulties and
kept the public informed.
We do not know how quickly Southern Pacific can convert from war to peace. Soon
transports will be landing thousands of war-weary men at West Coast porta, and
many more must be brought back from Europe. These men will want to get home as
quickly as possible. We intend to do our best to carry them in the comfort to which
they are entitled. This job comes first, of course.
Meanwhile, were planning luxurious new streamlined trains, new travel com
forts and refinements in passenger service, and improvements in freight service. We
intend to go forward aggressively with t!ie West, earning our right to serve yoa
solely on merit and performance.
