In an Informal count taken by United Press reporters in Londot clubs, theaters and restaurants during one evening, 43 Wacs were observed unescorted while eight others had escorts. None of the eight escorted 6'rls was with an English soldier or civilian. Londoners' reactions lo news of dearth of interest in Wacs varied: British male civilian: "There always have been than men here and the number of men free of the clutches of local girls is probably quite' Insignificant. Seems to be simply a question ol numbers to me." English soldier: no denying your American girls are nicely groomed for the most part. But I personally can't stand their voices.

Much, too highly pitched nnd nasal." Shys from Uniform Another British civilian: "I'd feel a little strange escorting a girl In uniform British or American. Wouldn't you?" Another British soldier: "I suppose I'm being frightfully Insular, but I'm quite content with our British girls. Ahother thing, widely-traveled woman one who has 'been around' ns yon say would probably frighten off one who had never been overseas or anything.

Charles Pyle, who was one of 23 captives to survive, revealed the tragedy in an affidavit supporting a fellow officer's oral will. Pylc, who is convalescing in an Oakland, Naval hospital, told first how the. S. S. Jean Nicolet was torpedoed by a Jap submarine in the Indian Ocean last July.

As the vessel was sinking, lie boarded lifeboat commanded by First Officei Clement Carlln. While the lifeboat crew waited to picked up by the enemy subma due, Carlln decided to make hi will. He told Pyle he felt there wa little chance of any of them com ig out alive. He was right. The submarine took on board a 5 men in the lifeboat, and the Jap ubjectcd them to four hours beatings and other brutalities.
