2 World War II Stragglers
Finally Return to Japan
r fa
CLASS PROJECTS Bruce Hill (left) and
Ray Beliveau, examine a project concern
ing generation of electricity from heat,
while Gary Cummings examines a display
of lenses showing how bi-focal glasses are
made. These and other projects, a supple
ment to regular instruction in Medford High
school physics classes, have been shown in
display cases at the high sclmol in recent
weeks. Required of all students, these
projects consist of models of physics class
room apparatus and research projects. They
provide each student a chance to work in
special areas of interest independent of the
rest of the class but with the supervision of
the instructor. This year's projects have in
cluded papers on various topics, and re
search on electric charges, batteries, con
duction in liquids, production of electricity
from heat and others. Models have been
made of hydraulic presses, solar furnaces,
and devices to measure depth perception.

Tokyo
welcomed
War 11 stragglers who had led
Robinson Crusoe existence
in the jungles of Guam for 16
years, unable to believe the
Japanese had lost the war.
Ex-Corporal Bunzo Minaga-
wa, 40, and ex-Sergeant Masa
shi Ito, 39, landed at the huge
U.S. air base at Tachikawa,
outside Tokyo, Saturday aft
ernoon aboard an American
DC-6 transport plane from
Guam.
Dozens of relatives and
home town friends shouted
"welcome home'' as the two
former imperial army soldiers
stepped off the plane. The
men were so elated at first
that they could not put their
happiness in words.
Appearing at a news con
ference later, the veterans
told a fantastic tale of living
for 16 years the life of wild
men in a small jungle area a
few miles from native villages
and U.S. bases.
"We counted the days put
ting marks of the trees," Ito
said, adding that according to
their reckoning they spent 19
years, not 16, on Guam.
But they miscalculated the
il'Pli - Japan today after they were shipped there
home two World i along with some 20.000 other
soldiers in 1944. Only about
600 of that number returned
after the war. The rest were
killed in action or died of dis
ease or malnutrition.
Ito said that after he went
into the jungles along with
Minagawa and Tetsuo Umino,
a companion who died later,
"We gradually became aware
that Japan was losing the war
in this part of the world, since
we never saw friendly
planes.
He added, however, that
"we never came to know the
defeat of the fatherland it
self." Ito, who acted as spokes
man for the pair, told news
men he never could have held
out alone.
"I surrendered May 23
after looking for Minagawa
for two days in the jungle in
vain," he said. "When he call
ed out for me to give myself
up I did so because without
him I could not have sur
vived." I
The ex-sergeant told news-,
men he was sure the Ameri-
cans would kill him when he!
surrendered. This belief, he
number of days on Guam said, was instilled in him at
the beginning of the war -that
Americans always
slaughtered their prisoners.
In the jungle, Ito said, there
were two ever-present "dan
gers" for them - the Ameri
cans and the natives.
"We had to keep our voices
low and always cover up our
footsteps," he said. "Some
times we had to sleep in the
rain without a shelter over
our heads."
Once, Ito said, a native
hunter shot him in the hip.
"There was no doctor and
it had to heal by itself," he
added.
The two stragglers brought
with them a small box con
taining the skull of their companion-in-hiding,
Umino, who
died of malnutrition six years
ago and requested that his
bones be taken back to Japan.

erican food dollar goes for

ODD PLANK A nun concrete "plank"
some 60 feet long, that bends like spring
steel, is currently on display at Builder's
Supply company, 727 West McAndrews rd.,
Medford. It is made of pre-stressed concrete.
Pre-stressed concrete beams and wall panels
are now being manufactured by the Med
ford firm on a special pre-stressing bed rec
ently installed. Tension of thousands of
pounds is put on steel cable used in the
forms and is released after the concrete has
set, giving the material its unusual strength.
Standing on the plank, which is only 34
inches thick, above, is Plant Owner M. R.
Gibbons and Employee Max Hawks. There
are only three other pre-stressing plants in
the state of Oregon.

ry and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
OSSIE VITT, one-time star of the Detroit Tigers, and later
manager of the Cleveland Indians, envies the "tools" j
that help the big league baseball players of today make the '
grade. "When I was an
active player," recalls
Vitt, "we had small, un
padded motormen's
gloves with a hole in the
center. If I had had the
use of those big 'basket
gloves' they use today I.
don't think I'd have made
an error in an entire sea
son. And those slick, 28
ounce bats they swing
now! Zowie! They en
able batters to get lots of
extra hits. They also
break like matchsticks.
Hang the expense! In my day clubs couldn't afford to have
all those bats broken. I weighed 135 pounds and had to
swing a 42-ounce bat. Babe Ruth's weighed 52. You had
to be a real man to get one of those bludgeons around!"
Stuart Brent defines a pharmacist as a man In a white coat
who stands behind a soda fountain and sells ball-tipped fountain
pens.
