Central Point Army Man Describes
Experiences With Japanese Governor
A dipping from the Nippon
TVnea. leading newrapr of
Tokyo, containing an article In
which the nam of Capt. Erneet
J. Lathrop of Central Point ap
pear, hai been received by hla
parent!. Mr. and Mn. A. T. La
throp. The clipping tells of a
conference, attended by gover
non of iven prefectures and
array officials, at which the gov
ernors were warned "that their
failure to make vigorous use of
the means provided by Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters to re
activate the civilian economy
will result this winter In unnec
essary suffering and cold among
the Japanese populace."
In his accompanying letter
the captain wrote, "To get up
to Tokyo, I put my jeep on a
flat car and went on the train
as far as Chiba, then drove on
over to Tokyo. I stopped In

Chlba on the way back and had
quite a talk with Gov. Saitor
of the Chiba Prefecture. He Is
a pretty good man to get along
with. A Prefecture corresponds
to a state at home.
I spent most of the afternoon
with the governor, then had din
ner with him and the vice-governor
at the governor's home.
I had to catch the train back at
5:30 p.m. so it was kind of a
hurry up affair, but I enjoyed
It. He served an entirely west
ern style meal, with roast chick
en, baked ham and various
other things. Even used a knife
and fork Instead of chop sticks.
The governor wants me to
come back again when I don't
have to be In such a hurry and
he says he will serve an entirely
Japanese meal. Should be In
teresting. The governor doesn't
speak English so I used an Inter
preter. Nope, I don't speak
Japanese yet and don't Intend
to learn. In Japan, you always
take your shoes off before enter
ing a house, so that Is a novel
experience for us to run around
In stocking feet.

wtfh the governor since that
day, and will likely go up again
in a few days. Seems funny for
me to be giving a governor
orders.
Later In the letter the captain
said he hoped he would be able
to return home before long and
added "Those strikes aren't
helping matters any, and neither
is that typhoon around Okinawa
I think we're getting a raw deal
over In this theater, but guess
we should be used to that now
Somebody Is certainly messing
up the works by not getting any
officer replacements over here.'
Capt. Lathrop has been In the
army since before Pearl Harbor
and was with the first army
combat unit that landed in Aus
tralia. He was en route to Man
lis when the Pearl Harbor
bombing occurred, and the outfit
was then re-directed to Austral'
la. After a stay In Australia
his outfit set sail for Timor but
when 9 out of 11 ships were
sunk, the survivors turned back
to Darwin. After being station
ed at various Australian ports
the men went to one of the Tro-
bian islands and subsequently to
New Britain, where they spent
Christmas of 1943, from there
to New Guinea. Leyte, and
Luzon.
On Luzon when the war end
ed, Capt. Lalhrop was started
at once for Japan and was on
board a ship In Tokyo Bay and
watched the peace treaty sign-
ing on board the Missouri
through field glasses. He is now
with the 112th Combat unit.
