brought here by plane,
"It's too good to be true,''
Wado declared, as ha stamped
his feet, in borrowed shoes, on
tho steol matting of the airstrip,
Happy and Hungry
Tho shoes and a baa stone
bruise made him limp. Ho was
chalky faced from malnutrition.
He - looked - IS years older than
his 25 years. But he was happy
and hungry, , -
Wade told how he and other
prisoners who were surrendered
to the Japanese at Bataan, on
southern Luzon, April 0, 1042,
Were mistreated and made to
march 85 miles north to a prison
camp. .
"They Inughcd and Jeered at
us," ho said. "Some of them
bashed us on tho heads with
poles as they drove by in trucks.
Underdogs .
' "They reminded mo of under

with sticks as they marched

Had Rice Cake
.' Wade's story supported this
statement, He-said all he had to
cot was a rice coke slipped into

chocolate and - tossed the rest
away. They would not allow us
to pick lt up."'
, The Bataan' survivor- sold he

icfore the surrender and became
a -prisoner with it. . . . ..
"This ' tonk outfit we were
